Long term exposure to boric acid may be of more concern, causing kidney damage and eventually kidney failure (see links below). Although it does not appear to be carcinogenic, studies in dogs have reported testicular atrophy after exposure to 32 mg/kg bw/day for 90 days. This level is far lower than the LD50.
Not sure if I agree or disagree with anything you said - just wanted to make the observation that NASA et al would definitely get more public funding if they used the words like Tonka more, especially if combined with standard advertising prefixes - maybe "Tonka Mega Launch System"?
No one male would object to slightly higher taxes or a one-off levy to pay for that.
It would make more sense than continually reusing names - according to the wiki, AEGIS is a military system, was the original OS on the Apollo missions, and the name has a bunch existing tech and non-tech uses.
I know there has been some mention of them reusing the name Orion recently - I think it was the Apollo command module that was called Columbia? They need to stop letting the nerds name stuff, maybe hire some marketing people from the toy industry.

I'd rather put up with roaches?
My current favorite is 16! Characters...
I initially read that as 16 factorial. That's a long password... http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=16+factorial

Loss of "hw". "Whale" and "wail" are homonyms except in a few regional accents.

Even if there were real 3D, how would you make use of this properly?
Ever seen a play?
Ha, yeah, something to brag when talking to a lady friend... "Mine's SO tiny!" :P
Hopefully soon?
Then they'll know I will boycott products that offend me with their advertising and stop doing that.
How much would it cost them to license the name iLaunchr, and use rounded corners?
(Maybe they can just outsource development to Samsung instead.)
... too big and don't have the population density. I'm sure the Australians will run into the same problem sooner or later.
Australia ran into that problem a long time ago...

Population is about 22 million people according to google.
So you took a sport that real men wouldn't watch, let alone play (lacrosse) and then created a version of it that was similar but played on ice?
Thanks for the heads up! :P

OK I just realised I suggested hiring a marketing person for something. Please accept my sincere apologies.

I'd read any novel that had this phrase included in the synopsis!
Wow, do they really think "con" in the name is a good idea? (no-one's going to pronounce it bacon, that's beyond stupid).
No I didn't click the links, they're spam, pages infected with malware, or info about bitcoins. Do not want.
I came here to make a porn movie joke which is the first thing I thought of when I read "radioactive tool", sadly... "I'm a bad bad Mormon" style.
I figure with your pawn reference and sig that you've beaten me to it.

Way to pick your target audience.
Nope. Apple is a cunt. Everyone who buys apple products is a cunt. Don't be a cunt.
Nice to see another Australian in here?
It's never a slow news day when you can just make shit up.
Especially if it's about the raspberry pi, bitcoins, iStuff, or a few other old faithfuls.
Hell, yeah - I'd eat a space rat burger so long as you put bacon on it.
This is a well-known problem when trying to use right angles
Surely you aren't suggesting that they should have used...gasp! rounded corners?
