Lead would be your best bet, but remember this thing sees through container walls with no trouble, which is about 1/4" steel. Newer cars have beefier frames but the metal on my old lightweight cars ranges from about 1/8" to paper-thin, depending on where it is.
Of course dramatically increasing your car's weight will cause a huge increase in consumable use, and even some things you might not consider consumable, like shocks and suspension bushings.
In one part they say the radiation is similar to 15 minutes on an airplane, but throughout the video they show this thing seeing the insides of dumpsters and shipping containers. The X-rays penetrate this thick steel but are safe to an unshielded person? Does not compute!
I think the new "day the earth stood still" had exactly this plot. I haven't been able to sit through more than 15 minutes of it at a time but I've seen bits and pieces.
"From what we've seen of the alien planet, the dominant species is working furiously to increase the temperature of the atmosphere, CO2 levels have risen sharply over the last 200-300 years, not long before we were able to pick up faint traces of unnatural radio transmissions from the area. We can only assume that they're an invading species terraforming the planet, and with no other inhabited planets in sight, we must assume their interstellar travel capabilities (and other technology) are far beyond our comprehension. This is why we've decreased our radio signature and have pooled our resources to begin work on erecting a cloaking device outside our solar system to block it from their view. If they detect us, it's only a matter of time before they colonize our planet with its already similar atmosphere (based on their recent slowing of CO2 increase, indicating that they're approaching their target level), and we'd have no chance of defending ourselves with our combat jet aircraft and treaded gun cars. The Bluglobians are the greatest threat known to Klurfkind, we should thank Tr'altef for every day we remain undiscovered by them."
The fact that they don't do code reviews itself isn't the nightmare - the fact that device security is 100% trusted to Apple, AND that they don't do code reviews is what makes it a nightmare. Android devices suffer all the same problems. Like iOS devices, you could root them but that comes with its own set of issues.
App store security is a nightmare compared to PC security (or the security of PC-like OSes such as Maemo/MeeGo). And yes, App Store security is even worse than Windows security. PCs allow locally controllable, centralized management, the installation of HIDS and antivirus products that are also locally controllable and centrally managed, and remote root access. This way you can check the systems yourself.
App store security is basically assuming that you can trust any app in the store because Apple approved it and then installing stuff willy-nilly. There is no management...at all, really. It's just handing out iShinies to employees and trusting Apple. Or as I summed it up quite nicely in another post, "sticking your head into the sand of Apple's calming reassurance."
There are a lot of technical improvements and the new start menu is great if you know how to use it, but I'll admit there's nothing new for the average user.
But now Windows 8 is coming out so XP and Vista will fall off the forced upgrade treadmill. Feels like I just put Windows 7 on my gaming PC yesterday, and I was running it from the time the release candidate was finalized.
I think they'll have to change up Angry Birds for the Chinese release. All those rebellious dissenting birds knocking down the establishment of the pigs who stole from them?
Instead maybe they'll call it Hard-Working Miner Birds, replace the various bricks with different kinds of soil and the pigs with precious gems that the birds must work together to extract.
Whining about the "waste" of the staggering half-million dollar budget of this program. When we put half the cost of a small helicopter into our interstellar travel plans, you know we mean business.
This is half a million dollars we're talking about here, a drop in the bucket by government standards. It probably costs that much every time a fighter jet flies.
If you have DD-WRT you can basically set up an SSID that isn't connected to a network in any way, so you don't waste power. Takes less than a minute to set up.
There could be many iOS malware apps in circulation right now and we wouldn't know unless some jailbreaker is probing around his OS and happens to run across it. iOS security consists of the user sticking his head into the sand of Apple's calming reassurance.
It's too bad we can't work around the little somethings in Linux like we do for Windows. The latest problems I've had in Windows? Complete lack of Bluetooth OBEX support in Windows 7 (a $300 operating system doesn't have this? Seriously!?), inability to prevent dual-homing on Windows XP without a horrible, ugly hacked-up kludge of scripts, fact that Windows will automatically attempt to access network shares using logins that have been entered since the start of the desktop session, oh and the fact that Microsoft has recently come out with radically different UIs for all their flagship products, which kind of throws that whole training argument right out the window.
OH NOES WE MUST DUMP WINDOWS NAO BECAUSE IT'S NOT PERFECT!!!

Yeah if anyone discovers opensourcetopia be sure to let me know.
Damn right the TSA is about rapping! TSA Gangstaz in da house!

Ow, my sperm!

huh, didn't hurt that time.
If a dumpster wall can't block the scanner I don't think anything you can wear will do the job. Maybe hide behind a dumpster filled with lead?
Every one of Obama's campaign slogans has turned into a punch line.
Also it's understandable that anyone who hadn't pre-judged Obama to be a lying SOB would have bought his bullshit.
Possibly that, or gay rights.
Nope, I've checked it out. It actually looks like they blacked it out, printed it, and then scanned it in again. Smart.

That's not environmentalism, that's VHE.
Strange... What I read, looked like:
i'm a chav!!! i'm a CHAAAAV!
suck my diiiiick!! I'M A CHAV!!
LOL nice way to put it...same here.
Persecution complex, ENGAGE!

Yep, move a thousand soup ladels, enough to empty the water out of the bottom deck broom closet...

What about the U-2? (the spyplane, not the awful band)
I've seen one named "bugga off" and another named "FUCKUGETUROWNINTERNET"
