I think that's what's good about CANDU, we were so poor here in Canada it was designed using separate tubes which makes it possible to remove entire fuel bundle tubes without requiring the core to be de-pressurized, it's kind of a modular

To me it feels faster if that means anything then again I didn't benchmark before and after.

CANDU reactors are safe, in fact they have a hard time getting anything to happen on a good day. If something went wrong the worst that would happen is the reactor would stop working.

Last year or maybe two years ago a bunch of Redditors, physicists and engineers, were talking about getting together and actually making a LFTR or doing something along those lines.

It wasn't always bad but it is getting worse, back in 1994 I had at least four, if not more, ISP companies to choose from in my small little corner of Canada. Now that been whittled down to two, there are others but it involves cellular st

Any self-made rich people I've met are rich for one reason and that reason is they don't spend one cent more than they have to for anything, every penny they make they hold onto for the rest of their lives. I would say people who inherited

It's not a swastika emblem which is quite common it's the red, black and white Nazi Swastika which symbolizes extreme hatred and violence. You don't have to live in Germany to be affected by it, I'm sure quite a few of us have grandfathers

Any person I know who is rich and has become so through their own hard work bristles at the thought of spending a lot of money on anything, even a cup of coffee. I've know some who want a Mercedes but hate the thought of paying so much for

Even places such as Slashdot are hard to get submissions accepted but I'd say that's due more to the sheer volume of submissions, not as much in past years but I'm sure Slashdot has a large user-base they've got at least a good eight years

My 2 cents, Digg.com user since April 2005. I don't know if it was spam or all the format changes, each time a format change occurred users complained - a lot, yet changes were implemented anyway. The highlight of Digg's history I'd say wa

Wouldn't it be surreal if Kevin Rose went to Reddit?

by dhughes 16y ago
I expect drunk posts today of all days. Certainly Reddit is quite different but I can see a shift maybe among older users or maybe more of a dual membership.

by dhughes 16y ago
I'd say Digg became popular due to promoting it on television, Kevin mentioned Digg on TechTV and invited people to try it. He had a captive audience on TechTV (or what was left of it after G4 gutted it) which helped a lot to get the word

The picture is very misleading too a big black column of smoke rising up and the headline about nuclear reactors yet no clarification the picture isn't a reactor on fire, it's probably an oil refinery.

Aftershocks amaze me, I've never felt an earthquake and they are non-existent where I live but I find it amazing an aftershock can occur months later.

I'm not a fan of the names most times I don't know what I am using, even now I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 whatever animal it is. It's much easier to remember 10.10 (released 2010 October) than whatever year Monkey, Bat, Cow or Hedgehog came out.

I see that explanation when this happens but really whatever the reason, it's weird, I still find it odd to do such a thing for news articles, cars or whatever. [This comment was taken from July 2012]
