Nearly. 'Candu' is an easily-run and maintained nuclear reactor designed in
Canada and built, with government financing, in developing countries around
the world. Only a cynic would point out that Canada produces more uranium
than anyone else and making reactor technology easily available is more a
marketing ploy than foreign aid.

Well shit, now you let the cat out to the bag Grand. Just watch,
Israel will be flying F16 our way and the US fleet will be off the
coast.

No need to be off the coast, John. Look south.

I tried it in Firefox and Explorer. Can't seem to get it from down
here. They may be blocking Oceanian/Asian IPs.

Strange. This time is says it's under construction, that it doesn't
have a main page. Your original URL gives a 404 error. I did try the
bare URL yesterday and got a 404 error.

Some places block the entire IP range for all of Asia and the
Pacific Rim rightfully believing that a great amount of spam or
phishing originates from there. Oz falls into that zone.

Just checked a few minutes ago and it works now. At least the base
page does. Let me check the link to the reactor now.

Both work now. Bernie, try them again and if they don't work, clear
your Internet Cache in Explorer and try again.
