This is completely true. Every other type of power plant, including the coal plant that I work at, stores energy for later use.

We put the energy in pieces of coal that sit next to the power plant! When we need more power, we dump more of it into the boiler. It's that easy.

They stay because they are trained to. From what I've read, the engine room was still habitable. The sections of ship are designed to be isolable from each other. Close a door, shut some duct work to isolate air, and you're fat dumb and happy back in the engine room!

The point in sticking around is that is what we were trained to do. Fire would have a very hard time making it from the forward part of the ship to the engine room areas. Don't you feel safer, knowing that the reactor was being watched the entire time the fire was raging in the forward part of the ship?

The USS Miami was my first boat, 1998-2003.

Yes, there is a possibility this was bedding. Usually though, when you go into an overhaul like this, all the bedding is removed. The mattresses may or may not have been removed.

There is a lot of wiring that is bundled together around ships. There is also quite a bit of temporary equipment that is brought on the ships during overhauls like they were doing that could have been the source as well.

There is no "fire suppression system" as you might imagine. Normally all firefighting would have been taken care of by the 130 man crew. Portable extinguishers only go so far, and it seems that this was far beyond a few extinguishers.

I stood my fair share of watches in the engine room. I knew this day would come sooner or later. I'm sure that the nuclear operators stayed at their watch stations during all this. This is a hell of a way for the Miami to go out.

Can do, will do, glad to.

If your bank is like my bank it has triple factor authentication, even with the password length restriction.

Around 2008, my local ISP was formed. Sometime around 2009 they implemented data caps of 600 MB/day, as most users didn't exceed that amount. Today, the cap is exactly the same as was first implemented.

300 GB might seem like a lot right now. Give it a few years...

TFA gives some pretty compelling reasons.

1. that the data belongs to Harris under Twitterâ(TM)s terms of service, and handing it over would violate both those terms of service and the SCA.

2. it argues that handing over Harrisâ(TM)s data would violate the Fourth Amendmentâ(TM)s protections against searches without a warrant, which it argues applies even when the government is seeking information about allegedly public activities like a userâ(TM)s tweets.

3. it points out that Twitter is in California, and argues that the New York prosecutors need to make their case to a California court to obtain Twitterâ(TM)s data.

All seem like valid arguments to quash a subpoena to me.

I'm not quite 10x your UID but nearly double his :P

I don't recognize all the names. I'll have to be more mindful in the future.

Maybe the police are trying to charge this guy with more than disorderly conduct. Incitement perhaps? The police don't always tip their hand unless they need to. Sometimes they will see if you will voluntarily give information up, then they don't have to go searching for it. I'd bet someone was hoping Twitter would just cough it up.

That's fine. This is what due process is all about.

Do you buy your car based on the chassis rather than the internals? Changing the DE/WM is extremely easy. Anyone could do it.

Is this the same "anyone" that sends responses back to phishing email and can't figure out how to setup wifi? Yep...this is going to end well.

There's really nothing in this writeup that hasen't already been covered in most of the articles that have been posted here on /.

Well nothing except some elitism from techspot:

from TFA "We assume you're on Windows or you probably wouldn't need this guide"

You've described some of the more common problems I've witnessed when trying to switch some friends to Linux. In the end, they're still on their Windows and OSX machines.

Until I can get my home setup to print a coupon from coupons.com, Target, and various other coupon sites to our network printer, I can't get my wife off of Windows 7.

A weapons analogy? C'mon, you're supposed to use cars!

(very good analogy though)
