Missle command on a nuclear powered laptop? That would turn my mind into a buttery crazy straw!

Would you feel comfortable with a radioactive power source inside your laptop or cellphone?
Sure, as long as it's not that yellow radiation.
It hurts when I pee.
An atomic pile the size of a walnut? Nonsense! Even the greatest technicians of the Empire could not do such a thing. Your upstart Foundation must be populated by wizards!
Look out radioactive man

Would you feel comfortable with a radioactive power source inside your laptop or cellphone?
Inside a cell phone or laptop near my balls! Have to get some lead boxers...

With a nuclear powered notebook on my lap I could save a load of money on future child support payments.
Trolling is a art,
No need for neon inside your case kiddies, the nuclear power source glows in the dark. And if you want to kick it up a notch, try our brand new nuclear powered monitors... true glowing beauty that you have to see to... hey... my face hurts... my whole body... feels like it's on fire... what's going on... ahh.. the burning.....ahhh!!!!
How is it that one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
So long as it wasn't running Windows.
Do you really think I'm go to put something novel here?
Well, so much for me having kids!
Oh, wait... that means I'd actually have to get NEAR a real-life female first...
All kidding aside, I see major problems convincing portable electronics users that they'll be safe with ooooohhhhh.... "Radioactive" devices in their cars.
It's sad, because no one seems at all concerned with the energy already put off by cell phones and the batteries could be an awesome step torward better power management.
I wonder what the disposal concerns and criteria are?
Anything you say will be held against you.
"The amount of radioactivity is so miniscule that you don't have to worry about it as much."
If I may ask a simple question here: As much as what ?
...that this will not fly unless Beta Radiation hires a serious PR firm to spin its image into a happy, fun loving, club hopping, racially indeterminate, good looking female that everyone would want to have in their lap.
42 - So long and thanks for all the fish.
is that we are just one step closer to getting one of those cool laser guns that never runs out of fire power :)

Personally I'd rather have a tidal powered cell phone. That way I wouldn't feel so bad about flushing it after my boss has called me 12 times on a Sunday.
Soooo..... You'd be willing to have the same laptop or cell phone for 20 years? Talk about being behind the technology curve!

a whole new definition of blue screen of death
:)
Yes. A literal definition.
And speaking of literal definitions:
Error #10012 - Meltdown eminent."
I think you mean "Meltdown imminent," rather than, say, to substitute, meltdown "prominent," "lofty," or "well-placed;" although I will admit such a catastrophe would be pretty egregious.
I'm not a geek, I'm just a clever script.
do you really want to know?
I've got 6 monitors in my cube. What is a little radiation in my laptop? I'm probably already sterile. Woo Hoo!!!!!

Great. Then people might start saying that cell phones cause cancer ...
... :-)
Nah. Nobody'd ever say something like that

I agree. I always try to stay outside of guinea pigs. But then I don't really fit into them :-(
when the cellular generation people start having grandkids!
I'm feeling feisty today. You do realize that you shouldn't have your own grandkids, right? Most places call that incest and it plays havoc with the gene pool. Stick with the guinea pigs.
I am not a resource! I am a free man!
Yeah. That way, when you put the phone up to your ear, you could say that you could hear the ocean. :-)
