Well, if they're going to be flipping switches, have a switch which locks the doors, turns on flashing lights and siren, and drives the boat to just offshore the nearest relevant law enforcement office. Put a plaque above the switch that explains what the switch will do.
Actually, my first thought when I saw the headline was that for some reason someone was putting a computer on a jackhammer and wanted to include a disk drive. I suppose a balancing, jumping jackhammer would make for an interesting fighting robot...
OK, so rent a small truck, drive it into the server room, and move all the systems into the truck for the duration. I'm sure any contractor with jackhammers can provide an entryway into the server room.
What, nobody has suggested the high-tech brute-force method? Have a microphone next to the wall, run it through an appropriate delay, and feed the signal to speakers which are between the wall and the disk drives. Delay the audio signal just enough for the original sound to arrive at the speakers exactly out of phase with the amplified version which the speakers are creating. Thus the speakers are creating a noise which is exactly opposite to the jackhammer noise. This is how the active noise-canceling headphones work, but it's a lot easier to engineer it for headphones.
This requires an audio system able to generate as much power as the jackhammer noise, and speakers which can withstand generating that sound.
If you are able to do this audio engineering job, I'd like to see the explanation for justifying a "Spinal Tap" quality audio system.
You forgot to mention that there also are science indexes which are volumes full of indexes to these articles in the various journals. I'm sure those companies don't appreciate the efforts of the general Web search engines -- although the smart companies are becoming online services also.
You really should give a source that's more specific than "I read...". If your source is the attributions in the right hand column of JunkScience.Com then you should say so. If your source is your Physics teacher, say so.
Now, onward to the discussion of accuracy of various suppliers of "journalism"...

Fission in a Box

Do you have any idea how much plutonium is in the concrete of your Hoover Dam?
The liquid rock in a volcano is at the surface of the Earth and will tend to stay there. It's better to wrap your own molten-rock container (ceramics) around the stuff and put it in a place that's more geologically stable than an active volcano.
You're on the right track, however. One proposal has been to set those waste containers in a subduction fault, where a tectonic plate is being pulled down...and eventually will become molten rock in the mantle. The core of the Earth is believed to be molten due to radioactive heat, so a little more radioactivity in the area won't matter.
A game is fine, but after webcams in real drug-dealing areas start getting fed into sims the next step would be to have gun-toting waldoes with "DEA" painted across their torso running around in real life.
So what do you think of the idea of dropping trash into a plasma jet and running the whole mess through an industrial-sized mass spectrometer? Every so often you empty out the barrel of Carbon, the barrel of Iron, the little bucket of Plutonium...along with the one hundred other bins and pipes for all the other elements.
"...fission produces isotopes which give off a tremendous amount of radiation and which have to be buried for thousands of years."
They don't have to be buried. Extract the plutonium and use it up in a reactor designed for it. Put the other stuff in the business end of a nuclear accelerator, or park it on the edge of a fission reactor, and make it break down sooner than by waiting for natural decay.
The researchers did mention "security through obscurity", and also noted that they had less information and tools than a serious attacker would have. They also used information in a patent, so they did better than the British codebreakers who ignored Enigma patent information due not not believing German cryptographers would make such an obvious mistake.
I once used NetEnv to tell my laptop at boot time where it was. Next time that I change locations often I'll start with divine, which looks for servers at PCMCIA init time to identify the current location. Should be interfaced to sleep/resume actions so closing/opening the screen lid will cause network reconfiguration.
As others have pointed out, proxies and configuration adjustments can deal with other network changes. For example, have your applications configured to send outgoing mail to a port on "localhost", then redirect where spooled mail gets sent to based upon the network config.

If the images will be stored on the boat, a film camera in a strong box is the traditional solution.

I would think a single guy in armor wearing a sword should be enough, whether is name is Beowulf or not.
The pre-pay phones work off of cards which expire in 30-60 days. When you buy a card you're basically paying a monthly fee.

You think the FBI will answer yes? And if the FBI answers no, the Russians are justified in trying to do it themselves?

I'm wondering why there isn't a link to the research that shows that it is better to have these articles online.
You forgot to mention that there also are science indexes which are volumes full of indexes to these articles in the various journals. I'm sure those companies don't appreciate the efforts of the general Web search engines -- although the smart companies are becoming online services also.
I was wondering if there's an archive of Chips&Dips, or has that resource been lost to history...

Or just bury the waste outside the U.S. Capitol building, where it's already more radioactive than outside a nuclear plant.

I was also wondering what bacteria eats calcium. Chalk is calcium carbonate. Actually, a little acid rain will be good for breaking it down.
