LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

It means NIF is winning and will keep winning, it is the biggest breakthrough ever free energy for the word!
Just kidding, it has nothing to do with NIF> it just means that they had some kind break even or close to for a few more seconds that the last failed Tokomak experiment. Don't hold you breath on this stuff ever really working but you never know in the long run with ITER.
NIF on he other hand will never be a energy source nor was ever intended to be one.
We good now.
Dammit I did not even read it. No fusion just that it made a plasma, so what.
