Raising the Kursk

imrdkl writes: "Theres a conglomeration of Euro companies, from Euro countries renowned for their sea-prowess, who are working together with the Russians to raise their stricken sub. This will be some happy news, when they get it finished. Hopefully before winter gets bad up there in the "circle". A pretty good article, with a nifty flash animation which gives some notion of the scope of this engineering feat is to be found at USA Today."

    Umm, probably the "nuclear" part of the submarine might raise a couple of eyebrows about using balloons to raise it. This isn't exactly Horseshoes. Kinda of have to go about this carefully.

    Remember 9-11-2001

    "Suppose we put a cat in a cage with a radioactive atom, a Geiger counter, a hammer, and a poison bottle; further suppose that the atom in the cage has a half-life of one hour, a fifty-fifty chance of decaying within the hour. If the atom decays, the Geiger counter will tick; the triggering of the counter will activate the hammer, which will break the poison bottle, which will kill the cat. If the atom doesn't decay, none of the above things happen, and the cat will be alive. Now the question, What is the state of the cat after the hour? "

    I give up.

    • Little boy, people won't reply to your 'argument' if you post AC

    Wierd, I gave him a lot more credence than you, because he actually said something rather than just spitting unreferenced bile. If you really feel such contempt for /. that you can't even be bothered posting one reference for all of your rantings, then why do you even bother infesting this site? You're just adding noise.
