I worked at ORNL for a while, and yes, it is very contaminated. Once they had to kill a flock of geese because they were drinking contaminated )radioactive) water. Also, when the hunting season is active, they have to measure the dead animals with geiger counters (as well as weight them and the usual) before letting them go.
K-25, the actual reactor site, is now considered an 'enviromental lab'. Read: we don't know how to clean it, so can anyone figure it out and get a PhD out of it?
"But I wonder who will choose what is worth saving?"
Well, maybe they can come up with a system where people post what they think it is important in history and then some of the same people moderate that using a unit called Mod Points up or down to see if they are or not worth saving... maybe call it sloshdat.
A mechanism would be deviced to protect the figures that make history against the people reading the history, and effect that could be called Sloshdatted.
I'm sure that with a system like this, historic figures such as many of the presidents would be Modded Down, while anyone who trashes an established monopolistic corporation would appear in the history books.
A system like this, would, without any doubt, save and Mod Up a comment like the present one for future generations.
The good old times... when games gave random garbage on the TV and you had to blow the games, or lick 'em. And sometimes even put 2 games one of top of each other.
The current Big Bang theory doesn't depend on any oscillatory process in the universe. It explains the universe since 10^-43s after the Bang. before that the String Theorists specullate about the universe, and that is it.
Check out the Omega Point
Theory... in this book.
It suggests a way to use the expansion of space to generate energy to run a
computer that would contain everyone's' information. Seems plausible,
until he mixes its up with religion and it turns metaphysical. This theory
has been promoted by Tipler, the same guy who has written many
physics text books. I don't but the theory, but it answers your
question about an alternate theory...
This announcement has been informally known for a few weeks in the physics community. A famous cosmologist (Edward "Rocky" Kolb, FNAL) told us that it was delayed the official announcement after the Columbia tragedy.
What other games can we use in the future to test a computer's AI, after this draw in Chess (Kasparov) and Tic-Tac-Toe (War Games)???

favorite one was the underrated Sim-Life.
It was so fun to mutate your animals and see the ecosystem change. It is still
incredible how they could model some of the complexity of an ecosystem!
Some people said that CG actors would replace real actors... maybe actors should be worried about Lego actors now! They are easier to decapitate, for one thing, and they are less extravagant.
A lot of people here are missing the point of the paper. Cryptography is a continuous race. You assume how many years you want your info to be safe. You invest based on that. If someone proves that your assumption was wrong, your information is in danger automatically, and you lost the race. Some information can still be sensitive years after it was written, so this is a big concern.
Imagine an evil (good?) corporation that decided to crack the encryption for a message sent with the Coca Cola recipe, and that it was only a 1024.
That is only if you consider one living been only. I think he means that is robust as an ecological balance. If a small change in the DNA base of one animal happens, he dies, and is unable to reproduce. So the 'error' was confined, and dealt with. It didn't explode giving a blue screen. Evolution is a phenomena of many living beens, not one. Even if a big change happens in a specie, most of the time the system is robust enough to absorb it and change the system into one that works. And, because of the evolutionary mechanism, only the good mutations, by definition, spread. Imagine a computer program where only the useful threads got resources allocated...

I love buzzwords with X anyway...Homer: DOH!
I'm sure the future generations will value this sound sample. Maybe they should keep many different versions of 'DOH!' since:
" a collection which will become more valuable as more people have access to the actual content of the collections. "
I just hope they keep the 200 cap for units for SC2... I think WC3 is missing that 'total warfare' feeling with the cap at 90 units.
If you cannot convince them, confuse them!
