"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)."

Slashdot Personals.

[Anonymous Coward]

Hey Taco! Foul! No fair!

It is a dirty underhanded trick to take advantage of pasty white Slashdotters by running ads for personals. This is especially true when you plant sultry models with come hither looks in their eye in the ads, rather than the more likely, uglier than hell, zit faced, goth bitch that will respond to the geeks ads.

Slashdotters don't have a chance against this type of advertising. The poor pasty white saps are going to click these ads like crazy and Slashdot the hell out of Match.com.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the poor divorce's that rely on Match.com are going to be inundated by false postings from pasty white Slashdotters that describe themselves as Paul Newman look alikes with Ferrari's in the garage and loads of cash in the wallet.

It all boils down to exploitation. First Slashdot is exploiting poor unsuspecting geeks for cash and then the geeks are going to exploit the poor divorces. It's not right Taco! I expect you to put a halt to this devious tactic immediately.

Thank you,

This is so very, very true. Building bigger and better bombs will hardly make the world safer in the long run. I don't know how other people feel about this, but when the senate failed to ratify the nuclear test ban treaty in 1999, I lost a lot of my faith in the United States in just one day.

Not only on moral grounds, but also on practical grounds, I believe this was the stupidest decision ever made in American politics: The data already collected in past test would have been sufficient to keep America's nuclear arms edge for the better of a century. And banning nuclear tests altogether would secure this edge indefinitely.

How much moral weight does the U.S. have, if they demand that other countries stop their nuclear weapons program now? None. It's simply the voice of the powerful.

Doesn't everybody have nuclear

weapons these days? I mean, Jebuz F. Christ even Microsoft has a nuclear weapons division. I think it's called "Bomby, the friendly thermo-nuclear weapon"...
