WANT TO USE YOUR PROGRAMMING SKILLS TO CONTROL A NUCLEAR REACTOR? If you are a great programmer with a background or interest in science or engineering, we’d love to hear from you. Our team in The iLabs Network, a new project at Northwestern University’s School of Education in partnership with MIT, is looking for an experienced programmer to help us build interfaces that allow students to control real laboratory devices (including MIT's nuclear reactor) remotely via the Web. hmmm something tell me that the MIT reactor will be sky high soon.

So - it runs on Apple computers then. I'm waiting for the posts to appear in the forums: "Urgent. Nd codes to control reactor." Then 10 minutes later: "Why no cdz. Nd cdz real urgent now." Then 10 minutes later: "Urgent. Nd cdz n..."
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
:-D :-D :-D !!!!

hey, cool. I haven't controlled that yet. :) Time to give it a shot!

so If I see the first message and I am back east, I have 20 minutes to break the land speed record away from MIT. :-D

Between that and the LHC we're not likely to see in the new year. Guess I should drink more beer while I can.

there will be more. :) Maybe there is something to this 2012 nonsense after all... hmmmm..... 4 years from now.... Are you a programmer looking for an exciting career? We're launching the first nuclear powered commercial spaceliner from the New Mexican desert. We'd like you to support our growing team of highly underpaid people. We'll train you, no experience required, only the desire to launch dangerous space-craft into orbit.... Received at the same time: Are you a programmer looking for an exciting career? We're opening a new nuclear fusion plant in the Tularosa basin across the mountain from the Spaceport America in the New Mexico desert! then the CP mass exodus occurs and all of CP members fly to Australia.

About 10 years ago back in England, I used to work for a large Japanese PLC manufacturer. Our team was in charge of the networking and integration, as well as various tools and low-level items such as the Memory Inspector, Network Transport, Configuration etc. The other team was in charge of the compiler and IDE. THe target platform was Windows NT 4 (previous version was for Windows 3.1). One day, we get word that some small Eastern European country wanted to use our PLC's and compiler to control a nuclear power station! Unfortunately, I left before the product was released (emigrated to USA), and I didn't find out exactly what happened. But I distinctly remember most of the teams reaction was the 1998 equivalent of "LOLWUT!?".

if we traced back where the query originated from it is probably the TSA - and this is a terrorist sting :~

Yeah somewhere near Lucas Heights or Woomera. Actually I don't think Australia's a great choice in the "avoiding nuclear material" market. It's the world's biggest exporter of uranium. I remember during the height of the cold war people moving to NZ, because it was one of the least likely places to get nuked (estimate was only one place worth frying - Aussies warm up your sarcasm). Especially after NZ told the US where to stick their minuteman missiles (minuteman also make vacuum cleaners - strange but true). Except most of these neo-hippy-pacifist-apocolytes moved to Nelson, right up close to the most significant vestige of US imperialism in NZ - that one place worth nuking mentioned earlier.
I just love Koalas - they go great with Bacon.

oh I wasn't escaping icbm targets that would require lunar tickets. I was just escaping the accident I described. The farthest choices were India, China, Antarctica, or Australia. You think I chose wrong?

Well if we're considering the propensity for your choices to have nuclear accidents of their own - then from your list I'd suggest Antarctica. Failing that maybe Palau, at least if it wasn't for the threat of rising sea levels.
