Everybody likes sausage until they find out how it's made. :-)

I love Our Friend the Atom, but for some reason, people (who used to live in) Fukashima don't.
They must be Luddites...

When any technology is rolled out before fundamental design problems are solved, there is always heck to pay.
But we never learn, beause there's always money to be made rolling it out.

Some engineer at GE should have questioned pumps that have to run all the time to avoid a meltdown--probably
several did. . But all pressurized water reactors have the same issue. And apart from civil and structural engineers
(licensed professionals who can halt a project), most engineers are just hired help who don't make the final decision
on anything. That's made by execs with business or sales backgrounds.

Also, there is such a thing as *appropriate* technology: keeping complexity to the level where a user can cope
with it (even when something goes wrong). If execs or users had an inkling how complex and fragile the system
really is, they'd be horrified. But they'd have to have an engineering background to understand the risks.

Nuclear reactors have to be extremely complex, but camaras don't. We chose to make them that way.

Now, where did I put my radio-controlled, digital martini stirrer....

Acountry330 Loc: Dothan,Ala USA

I like having a new toy to play with. Happy shooting.

I like mine shaken, not stirred!

I would like my martini prepared by a human. Pretty one is better just like cameras the good looking ones are better.

Yep! It's all about the experience!
