If you go to non-work related web sites during work hours, you should be fired. No questions asked, You are a slacker.

Last time I checked (before I retired), LLNL employees where allowed a reasonable personal use of their Lab computers (over lunch, for example), as long as it was not related to an outside business (like as a Realtor). Checking on medical appointments, Doctor communications, lab test results, medical related web sites, OK. Also sites related to non-profits (Church, Scouts, City Counsel, Community Groups) and hobbies OK.

11:31 - it used to be that way, but I have been told by current employees of the lab now blocking a great deal of sites, such as YouTube. Certainly that video site has nothing to do with outside business, but it and blogs do have the capability to convey messages that upper management will not like.

From a legal point, I believe that LANS has forsaken any semblance of being a Common Carrier and lost the protections that status is granted. Which means now that any dubious message that enters or leaves llnl.gov could result in legal action against the lab.

Actually YouTube does have relevance to LLNL business. Many vendor training aids, technical information and similar videos are put on YouTube.

LANS runs Los Alamos. LLNS runs Livermore. Neither is or was common carrier.

That is quite obvious, 6:56. Being a CC would have allowed them to avoid certain classes of legal action. Instead they have chosen to censor. Most likely anyone who now complains is merely fired.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
