"H-Bomb Secret" Now Online
DrDNA writes "In 1979, the US Government sued Howard Morland, Erwin Knoll and Sam Day at The Progressive Magazine for prior restraint over the planned publication of 'The H-Bomb Secret: How We Got It--Why We're Telling It,' citing national security. Six months later, a Federal appeals court vacated the restraining order on publication, and the article was published. There's an interview about the case with George Stanford, of Argonne National Lab, Illinois, a technical adviser for the Progressive Magazine. After all this time, the Progressive article is now online (4Mb pdf)."
Someone set them up the bomb.

For the Orange alert. Thanks for helping the terrorists!
FYI Americans, we are now at Orange Alert. There is a higher level of indication now than ever that SOMETHING is going to happen. Before, we were on Yellow Alert, so it was possible that something was going to happen, but now we are Orange, meaning that it is slightly more likely that something is going to happen. When something happens, we will go to Red Alert, indicating that something has happened, but until that time, we will remain at Orange alert.
Be Prepared Americans, Something May Happen Today!

Re-tooled as an introduction to Microsoft's linux survey:
It should by now be clear to everyone that in the past we relied far too much on secrecy. We arrogantly assumed that we were the only ones who could develop computer operating systems and software, and that therefore we could retain our monopoly. That kept us from pursuing international arrangements that might have held the upsurge on linux under some sort of control.

Actually, as technology improves, the cost to an individual of deploying a weapon of mass
destruction decreases. Eventually, anyone who
feels like splurging with their milk money
will be able to destroy the physical structure
of the universe. The solution is not to
deprive children of milk, but to put them all
in separate universes.

Slashdot did what the gov't couldn't, they've censored the site. The site is down now, is the document mirrored anywhere?
Well, it's good to see somebody finally thinking of the children.
Forget thrust, drag, lift and weight. Airplanes fly because of money.

Aha! What more perfect a way to protect the article from downloads than to slashdot it! Brilliant plan by the governmment!
The trouble is, now these terrorists will know that they can hogtie the FBI and who knows how many government lawyers in a colossal waste of time simply by threatening to publish news!
We do not need this calamity confounding our precious givernement custodians of truth and prosperity. This is a windfall for the terrorists and a sad day for true Americans everywhere.
Infuriate left and right
I know how you feel, this whole "freedom of speech" thing is just wrong! I firmly believe that the government has our best interests at heart, and would only conceil information that could be used by evil people (probably terrorists). I feel so much safer knowing that upstanding people like George Bush are in office.
Good point. The rest of the "All Your Base" dialogue was an exquisitely-crafted, grammatically-correct gem of proper English. The 'up/us' transposition was the only glaring error...

No... no it's not online... anymore

Lemme tell ya, I would have omitted that source.
Going back to the actual article - in the name of national security the pdf file has been slashdotted. :) Mind you being 4Mb they must have exceeded their bandwidth allowance pretty quickly.
