yes. A dollar won't even buy you a cup of coffee. A mega dollar can make crime legal and get people to like you even if you're an entitled sneering jackass with an ego the size of Texas.

Sales figures (where it is possible to differentiate) suggest that 3D isn't really much of a selling point.

These are not nuclear technology problems, they are toxic politics and even more toxic business practices.

The actual technical issue is failed replacement steam generators, in both cases due to management gambling on cheaping out and losing. Somehow though, it's 'impossible' to replace the defective steam generators even though they were already replaced once?!? I guess we';re getting stupid fast if we already forgot how.

Put the owners on the hook for it (rather than the ratepayers) and watch how fast they come up with a solution that gets the plants safely back online.

All you have to do is cut down all the trees in your neighborhood so it looks like a sterile wasteland...

There's not actually a lot of waste if reprocessing is used. Even without reprocessing, many plants have held their site on site for decades.

Fortunately they don't hold it in big piles outside in the rain like coal plants do with their radioactive toxic waste.

So when demand goes up you sweat, get a cold shower, and then end up stranded half way to work in the AM?

And generally we're better off when protected.

Imagine that, paid shills objected to something adverse to their employer. That's not normally considered backlash.

A side effect is that the long hiring process selects for people who weren't as good as they thought. Amongst the ones who just really wanted to work at Google or weren't in that big of a hurry to change jobs are those who couldn't actually get anything else in the mean time.

It is more art than science. Attempts to use formulas or hard numbers in the process tend to go very wrong.

You know, A good psychiatrist can probably help you with that nasty case of OCD that made you click a link whose title clearly indicated it was not a topic you were interested in.

True, but the protections are sufficient that someone else in your business cannot legally co-opt the mark.

The ps/2 inspired mostly laughter amongst the masses when they saw how it's price compared to a better clone. They only managed to sell them through under the table deals and having a non-standard length power cord that could be required in an RFQ.

The problem with the ethics behind IE is that they fused it into the OS and repeatedly claimed it could not be separated out.
