Cesium is in the alkaline group meaning that it is reactive to water. Because it is very far down on the periodic table in that group... it is very reactive to water.
A pea sized ball of cesium thrown into a full bathtub has been described to me as able to produce a 6 foot fireball.
Clarification, Cesium is a stable isotope and deos not emit radiation. It resonates naturally at microwave frequencies which is the oscilation that the atomic clock measures.
Cesium is a stable isotope and is not radioactive. The only problem I see with a wrist watch containing Cesium is accidentally jumping in the pool with it or being caught in the rain.
With the onset of countless online music stores, Is it only a matter of time now before we can download feature legnth divx movies to these players?
I hope so!
Yessss... finally after years, the geeks are able to bully around the kids of the people we were bullied around by.
we may be behind still... but look, we're on the board!!!!
Do not tramp in linux, that's impossimble. instead only try to realize the truth: There is no linux. then you'll see it isn't linux that bends, it is only the SCO.
one server sitting on it's own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly hosted what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and it finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.
Sadly, however, before it could get bandwidth to tell anyone about it, it was slashdotted, and the idea was lost forever.
Imagine, he could have licensed his software to the spammers and charged them an annual fee to use it. He could have been the "Microsoft" of the spamming industry.
The funny thing is, is if they are based on a per bandwidth basis, that would be more of an investment. 1,000,000 users * 54kb * $.05/Mb yeah... the math is obvious.
This seems to be a good idea... but what happenes when the satelites re-enter the atmosphere at the end of their lifetime...
Either you have radioactive waste hanging in the atmosphere, a third world country with the means to make a couple of dozen warheads, or you have some "dumbass" (in your words) trying to run upkeep missions on several thousand nuclear satelites to keep them safely above the atmosphere.

yeah... I caught that... read the reply from myself to myself
um... no I said 1.2 Gbit. I was think Mb and not Gb meaning I was off by a factor of 1024.

oh... G... ha... that's GIGAbit I caught it now.
I feel like an idiot being off by a factor of 1024 and all10Gb is only 1.2GB/s which is easily transfered by hard drives and system busses now. 100Gb is where things start to get tricky though.

Wouldn't it radioactivate you or something???

Is "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones up for download? That'd bring the whole MS circle of crap to a sort of cosmic finality. :)
It seems they don't have that song... but they do have Dave Mathews - Crash oddly enough!
It's him... quick... send in the feds!

Wow have I been watching a bit too much Flying Circus
If you legally own the DVD why would this not be fair use? It's your DVD so you can keep a backup copy of the information and that would be the copy.
