Hanford will NEVER be shut down. Recall, that there were about a dozen nuke plants there making plutonium for the Army for decades. While there is a bunch of waste there, the big negative is that the site is adjacent to the Columbia River and hydrogelogically connected to the site. The upstream dam releases impact contaminate plumes within the Hanford Site. Hex Chrome is also a huge problem up there. CH2PRC (CH2MHILL) will go on forever running their pump and treat systems as they chase plumes throughout the site. Same with Rocky Flats and Savanaha River. Those three sites alone consume billions of dollars per year in cleanup. Yucca was the best choice.

How about they let us see the list so we can judge for ourselves.

This is not surprising, and in fact expected, regardless of language chosen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-ninety_rule

I'm betting a "go back switch" will be available in Win 8 SP1

We should create a new space vehicle that could go into orbit, pick up the space junk with a robotic arm, store it and shuttle it back to earth. We could call it the "Space Shuttle"

Property taxes make it unprofitable even when they get to charge a big KWh rate... http://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2011/05/solar_farm_near_climax_loosing.html

Taxes discourage the activity that they are taxing. The fact is that tax rates could be 100% and there would still not be enough money coming in.

10 LET TAX = INCOME * 0.15; 20 PRINT TAX; 30 END

BPL (Broadband over Power Line) turns power lines into giant transmitting antennas. What could possibly go wrong? http://www.arrl.org/broadband-over-powerline-bpl http://www.arrl.org/news/city-of-manassas-to-end-bpl-service http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-shows-ibec-bpl-systems-are-interfering-violating-fcc-rules Yes, these are are Ham Radio references because we are the ones using the spectrum that BPL interferes (sometimes on a shared basis with other services).

Sony was really keen on protecting their digital media rights... user information? Not so much. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal

Wait for when they become unionized!

...for the people yes, for the government, not so much.

Maybe they did hear about WBD, but not WRD (World Restore Day). Damn that write only media!

Do you think Expensify will mind if I keep the mySQL experience on my resume?
