It has a half life of 73.8 days (Ir-192). So already it is half as radioactive as it used to be. While it would take a long time (4 years) for the sample to fully decay, the exponential nature of radioactive decay means that most of those 4 years are spent going from a very small amount of radioactivity to zero radioactivity thanks to diminishing returns. Also if you bear in mind that with a bomb you would be spreading this material over a very large area (because terrorists like to think big, so they would probably go for as spectacular an explosion as they could manage), a depleted sample would not provide much more than background radiation after a few half-lives. If you're going to build an effective dirty bomb you really want to steal something with a much longer half-life.
It's one thing to quote and recite the bible and it's another thing entirely to live it. I take the atheists' view: if only Christians acted the way they are supposed to, the world would be a better place.
Major documents from human history, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR),..., Magna Carta and Kings James Bible, have been saved as digital copies that could survive the human race.
So long as they called the directory: Documents we humans chose to ignore.
Mobile phone made in china, corporate isp components made in china and malaysia, corporate software written in india, clothes made in bangladesh, toilet made in mexico, food grown in mexico and cooked by immigrants in america for the lowest possible wage. Yup, capitalism. Because driving wages down to the absolute minimum to increase profitability is good. Who cares if by doing so no one can afford to buy our products anymore... then we can sit around and wonder why the economy just isn't growing anymore.
We must be hanging around different kinds of scientist. From my point of view I've seen people with massive egos. Those egos dislike even entertaining the possibility of being wrong, and usually they get where they are because they're a) good at bullying their fellow scientists and b) good at bullying people into giving the grant money to them instead of other scientists. A lot of them are even prepared to falsify results to support their continuing grant money and research. While I agree that they are the minority, quite by definition they are a very very vocal minority. But you are correct. A REAL scientist looks forward to being proven wrong - it's almost as good as when no one can prove you wrong.
They gave away at least a few billion dollars' worth of revenue when they gave away Windows 10 for free. So the kind of telemetry they are collecting is at least worth a few billion dollars. Anyone who says different is lying. There is no free lunch.
Technically they shouldn't read ANYONE'S secrets. Having a secret is not a crime. You're supposed to catch criminals who break the law, not mine people's data and extrapolate to see if they have done anything wrong. Because after all, everyone (including FBI agents) is guilty of something.
A ToS change would almost certainly only apply to future versions/updates to the engine.
Oh? How about "We've decided we no longer wish to continue the service due to reorganization". Boom, there goes your app. What are you going to do - sue? Read the TOS. Once you get past the arbitration instead of law-suit clauses you'll see that they hold all the cards and you hold none. Yeah ok, you might save yourself a few weeks' of coding. In return for which you become their little bitch.
If by empowering you mean it binds you and restricts you, then yeah, it's empowering. Amazon is a corporation. Lumberyard is a fraction of a fraction of their revenue. One day a new manager will come along and change the TOS and you will be completely fucked with no recourse. By all means, develop away.
The west sells food that poisons humans. The west has no respect for personal property (unless you're a billionaire). They are poisoning their environment such that you can no longer catch a fish in the ocean whose belly isn't filled with plastic. Oh, and don't get me started on the censorship of western news media.
Yeah, the US making a big deal about how ISIS gets all those Toyota trucks when it turns out that the US was the one supplying them. Ooops. Let's pretend for an instant that the funding of terrorist groups by the US is strictly limited to pickup trucks. After all, cash and weapons only goes to "moderate" beheaders not terrorist beheaders...

Does it spy on you like other Samsung products?
You're fucking stupid
Argument fail. This is the point where your audience stops reading.
Because he's going to want to sell you a ridiculously priced stock in an IPO.

And no scientists minds that. Not really.

Why aren't you rich?
The brits will fix cameronitis with corbynitis and then they will be well and truly fucked. Again.
Government grants itself authority to break the law.
240V should be enough for anybody.

Kind of like mixing the water in the toilet bowl with a spoon for a bit to see which turd rises to the top?
Trust is not a factor when there is no viable alternative.

a wild INT appears.

We felt manly like we'd said something meaningful, ask the while communicating and contributing nothing.
So politics, then?
Their currency is manipulated. Their stock market has 2 books, one set you can see, the other you can't.
Unlike the West. LOL.

The "nutjobs" are in Washington. I hardly see how they are being "dealt with".
E-mail. Hah. We used to send over the boxes of punch cards on a trolley. Like men.

And yet terrorism has increased, if anything. Even in Canada. Go figure.
