Wow, that's scary. I used to live in that neighborhood a few years ago, in fact just 2 blocks from there - and this is the first time I ever hear about it.
I find security in MMORPGs to be as bad as you can possibly imagine. I get killed all the time, and there's never any police around to report the crime to. Don't get me started.
It's still a documented fact that US infants exposure to thimerosal increased starting around 1990, and that correlates with a huge spike in autism rates.
It's also a documented fact that the exposure of the US population to Starbucks coffee spiked starting around 1990. Why isn't that being investigated in correlation to the autism "spike"?
Or, to spell it if you didn't catch my drift: two events occuring in succession don't necessarily have any causal relationship.
Beh. Anyone can put anything on a web page. Just because mine says "I'm the Creator of the Universe, the Alpha and Omega" doesn't make me that. Or so they say.
You could try reading the article. You would know then that the procedure leaves you with a category of "possibly dud, and possibly good" bombs. And you have no way of distinguishing them.
I said "reliable". To quote from the article: On average, this will identify all of the dud bombs, explode half of the usable bombs, and identify half of the usable bombs without detonating them.
Of the non-exploded bombs, you won't be sure which one is a dud and which not.
That is a big fallacy. There are some alloys in which iron is around 98-99% which are non-magnetic (think unusual alloying elements like niobium and rhenium).
Notice that I said power source in my comment. Besides, the stuff that's powering it (238-Pu) is made in a nuclear reactor:)
The advantages are: it can be completely sealed, with no mobile control parts needed; it can't go critical either. The isotope is useless for any type of nuclear weapon (except maybe a radiological one). Versions of this have been powering various satellites since the '60s I think.

Ah, but red mercury exists.
...theft of laptops at airports...
It's not theft. It's called DHS discount and it tends to occur a lot around birthdays and holidays.
Nah, it's just the new season of "24"
Yeah, but how many of them are on national TV?
You may want to get a lead cup to go with that too.

If I do vaccinate, where's the upside?
They won't die or be crippled for life from a preventable infectious disease. Good enough?

My predictions for 1945:
WWII will end
Hitler will commit suicide
A new explosive device will be invented that can obliterate a city
I'll take a cue from the Catholic church on this one.
I will NOT have you burn in hell for all eternity. There. Satisfied?
Thanks. Now I have a signature.
You won't be surprised to find that the answer is 'yes' - on all counts.

Dear AC,
You could try reading the article. You would know then that the procedure leaves you with a category of "possibly dud, and possibly good" bombs. And you have no way of distinguishing them.
Yours truly,
Dumbass.
You got it almost right.
The government works for me! Muhahahahahaaaaaa.....

What do you mean falsely identified?
...iron is always magnetic.
That is a big fallacy. There are some alloys in which iron is around 98-99% which are non-magnetic (think unusual alloying elements like niobium and rhenium).
If you know of a more reliable way, I'd like to hear about it. No, seriously.
I have some time-enlarging pills for sale if you're interested.
...AFRL says the spy plane will need to collapse its wings and hang limply on the cable like a piece of wind-blown detritus
Hey, I didn't know I was doing top secret research. Most of my model planes end up looking just like that!

Not sure about nanoscale, but smaller nuclear power sources than this 20x6ft surely do exist. Take a look at this:
