It's not all media fueled hype. Some of it is very well deserved.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site

I'm reminded of an episode of the Simpsons where Mayor Quimby is
showing off the new alert sign in front of the nuclear power plant.
When it gets to stage 4 "Run for your lives" Homer remarks, "That'll
never happen." When questioned by a co-worker if he felt that the
site was safe Homer replied, "No, just that if the core melts, there
won't be any electricity to run the sign."

The biggest hurdle to overcome with safe nuclear energy is the age
old problem of "Who's guarding the guardians?"

If the debacle with British Petroleum and the government agencies
that were supposed to over see what was being done is any indication,
I'd rather not have to "trust" my government to make sure things are
safe.

As a more or less life-long Portlander, I was a bit saddened when Fred Meyer
passed from family ownership to Kroger's. However, I still think they missed
a good bet... they should have changed the name to Freddy Kroger's.. maybe
even gotten Robert Englund to do their signage.. :)

Kroger has no stores in Florida that I know of. They attempted to
open a couple about 15 years ago, but sold the new buildings before they
ever opened.

I shopped at a Kroger's supermarket when I lived in Ohio for almost
all my groceries.

Yep. Nuclear is also the answer to your aversion to CFL lighting.
<http://www.uncoveror.com/nukebulbs.htm>
Full spectrum lighting with emissions from RF to gamma rays.
The only problem is clearing the room from the mushroom cloud every
time you turn it on.

Ok, the lack of any additional references to this device strongly
suggest that it's a hoax, but I couldn't resist mentioning it.

Incidentally, I invented the nuclear waste powered home water heater,
which should also be a big hit after we run out of oil. What to do
with reactor waste? Just take it home and use it to run your buried
water heater.

dumb question time.

What does the magnetron behave like in a circuit? I realize it's basically
a giant rectifier tube, but I'm not wise on tube characteristics and
behavior. I imagine there's some bizarre resistive component, but that's
all I can come up with.

THE International Atomic Energy Agency could add computer security at
nuclear plants to its remit after it emerged that stuxnet, the first
computer worm known to attack industrial machinery, is indeed targeted
at nuclear energy equipment as many observers had suspected.

Delivered online or via a USB stick, stuxnet used now-patched Windows
vulnerabilities to seek out Windows PCs running software that monitors
industrial control computers made by Siemens of Germany. The higher
the frequency, the faster the motor.

I wonder if the dead TV was free, and if you hadn't been able to download a
pirated service manual for free, if you would have been willing to pay
$60-$100 for a service manual.
Essentially, you got lucky with the availability of the service
documentation.

Nearly anything man-made can be repaired.

New technology requires new equipment to be able to service it.. I see
micro-sized SMT components that are barely visible, and I wouldn't care to
handle repairs involving these components without the proper tools and a
very good microscope.

I have a B&L stereo zoom microscope, head worn stereo loupes (Eschenback and
others) and various video cameras that would be helpful in viewing the
micro stuff, but even these tools don't make repair jobs on the newer micro
stuff simple.

I have hot air and typical soldering/desoldering equipment, and professional
(above average hobbiest/enthusiast) troubleshooting equipment, and I still
don't have any desire to repair any of this cheaply made, newer technology
equipment.

I admit that if someone were to give me an out-of-warranty, free, expensive
piece of equipment, I'd be curious enough to spend a little time
troubleshooting just to satisfy my curiosity.

I prefer to buy quality older equipment that can be repaired (large CRT
stuff excluded), instead of microprocessor-based, firmware operated stuff
that's generally much more difficult to repair, even if any
documentation/online-hack info is available.

The issue of personal injury liability isn't addressed. Lots of DIY types
don't understand the safety aspects of line operated equipment.

Any time I get a used piece of equipment, I examine it for signs of
disassembly and repairs.
One sign of a not-so-bright DIY type, is large burrs on the phillips case
screws.

When manufacturers make service documentation available for line operated
equipment, they don't know that only trained professional service/repair
people will properly interpret the service info. They include disclaimers,
but that my not be a bullet-proof legal position.
Something as simple as placing a long screw where a short screw belongs, can
compromise the safety of a properly designed, line-isolated hot chassis.

Put simply, unsupervised, untrained DIY-types shouldn't be repairing
line-operated equipment.

Any experienced equipment servicer should know that it only takes very
little current to interrupt normal heart rhythm.

When someone buys a piece of equipment that has been repaired improperly,
it's a smear on the manufacturer's reputation.
If I were a manufacturer, I wouldn't want improperly repaired pieces of my
products available as used (unauthorized refurbished) equipment, injuring or
pissing off a lot of consumers.
An improperly repaired/modified charging circuit causes a battery to explode
and/or catch fire, for example.

I imagine that the best way to stop throw-away product manufacturing would
be to stop buying it.
I don't like that nearly all of the cheaply made products are ending up in
landfills, any more than anyone else.
Apparently many consumers don't realize that buying this cheap crap costs
them twice, the first time to go to the store and the purchase, then a
second time to dispose of it.
Careers in management of waste should be abundant for years into the future.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania actually accepts municipal (and probably
industrial) waste to be hauled into PA from as many as 15 other states
(maybe more, now).
Since PA is bordered by only 6 states, this would mean that states beyond
the bordering states are hauling waste long distances to dump waste into PA
landfills.. that's a lot of fuel, whether the waste is moved by truck (most
likey transportation) or railway.

According to statistics, Americans generated nearly 230 million tons of
municipal solid waste in 1999 (when many stores didn't sell practically all
made in China goods).
Of the 230M tons, it's stated that 28% was recycled, and 15% incinerated.

I wonder what the term "recycled" actually means in report statistics.
Maybe some of the plastic products were used in synthetic lumber products,
possibly.. or just sent to a recycler that may have just disposed of the
materials later.

Yes, but it might not be worth fixing, especially if a replacement is
low cost. I constantly run into problems spending inordinate amounts
of time fixing some trivial device. Sure, it can be fixed, but I
can't build a business on such repairs. Expensive and exotic hardware
is about all I can make a profit on. For example, it takes me about 4
billable hours to clean up and upgrade a virus infected computer. At
$75/hr, it's almost more economical to purchase a newer and faster
machine, than to fix the old one. So, in order to keep from losing
the customer, I have to heavily discount my time and do it for less
than posted rate. Otherwise, they run to their favorite discounter
and just start over with a new machine. Same with some low end
entertainment electronics. It's even worse with hardware. I can
easily fix a typical PC power supply for a few dollars in parts and
about 1.2 billable hours. However, who's going to pay me $100 to fix
a $25 power supply?

What's needed is some assistance from the manufacturer. Schematics,
test points, easily available parts, troubeshooting info, easy access,
diagnostics, etc will all reduce the amount of time I burn fixing
something, which translates to a lower cost repair.

I call those Zombies. They're ugly, slowly shuffle through the
office, and are quite brainless. I have a 486DX2/66 running SCO Unix
3.2v4.2, but that's only because it refuses to die, and I'm too lazy
to replace it with a more modern Linux server. I also have a
collection of quite usable 1970's and 1980's vintage test equipment:
<http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/pics/home/slides/lab.html>
but only because the stuff works and I find not compelling reason to
upgrade. (Yes, that's a Nixie tube counter on top of the spectrum
analyzer). What you don't see in the photo is a rather large pile of
broken test equipment waiting for me to get inspired to fix. The good
news is that most test equipment is made to be repaired (except for
some TMS series Tek scopes where I bought before I researched).

Anyway, this isn't about retro enthusiast, hobbyist repairmen, or
tightwads (like me). It's about manufacturers not creating artificial
obstacles to repair for those that want to keep their toys running.

Google Voice has finally been launched as an iPhone app. Following a
lengthy dispute with Apple that drew the attention of US government
telecom regulators, Google has announced the availability of Google
Voice for download from Apple's App Store. Earlier this year, the
company launched a Google Voice HTML5 Web app for iPhone users.

Google submitted its iPhone app in June 2009. Google Voice for iPhone
is available to download from the Apple App Store today.
