Having the schematics is a nice start, but even if you manage to collect the components, handle the components safely and actually construct something similar to the Fat Man, you end up with an ENORMOUS device that is relatively weak compared to the nuclear devices of today. Your going to have trouble sneaking this monstrosity, say, through the Holland tunnel into NYC.
Place the device in a container, transport it on a container ship, and detonate off the coast.
$@#%^ I just got myself on some goberment list didn't I?? Or have I been watching too many movies?
I happen to work at Sandia and can assure you that much more than weapons work is done on the computers. In fact, recently a lot of work was done in modeling the huge asteroid that smashed into Russia in the early 20th century.
Ha! You guys were just testing to see if the Arachnid weapons were really feasible.
Some countries do. In fact there is an American Football World Cup. The United States took part for the first time in 2007. (USA beat Japan 23-20 in the final)
The MOAB is not a conventional high explosive, it is a Thermobaric weapon, or in other words, a Fuel Air Bomb. [Hell, even the name itself spells it out for you: Massive Ordnance Air Blast]
I Think you are wrong on this. Air blast does not equal Fuel Air Bomb. From Wikipedia: "Conventional explosive weapons such as the Daisy Cutter incorporate both agent and oxidizer. In contrast, a fuel-air explosive consists only of agent and a dispersing mechanism, using oxygen from the air as the oxidizer." Since the MOAB is basicly a larger Daisy Cutter, then I don't see how it can be a Fuel Air Bomb.
Since Jatropha is in the same family as the Castor oil plant (Ricinus communis), how similar are their oils? I do realize that a family is quite broad.
So of us don't live in areas where its economical feasible to bring broadband. So next time could you please say that almost no one uses modems anymore.
Thanks,

If only the treasury had been using Vista, at least someone would have been to blame for clicking "Accept". In this case no-one could admit ignorance by saying the keylogger just slipped through the net; SOMEONE would have had to click that damn button.
Big Bang occurred somewhere in the neighborhood of 13.7 Billion years ago. The star, a heavy-elements laden fossil labeled HE 1523-0901 on charts was probably born right around the same time; approximately 13.2 Billion years ago.
What happens if the next ancient Star is found to have been born 14.5 Billion years ago? Will scientists heads start popping?;-)

Unfortunately we can't sing Happy Birthday to the CD without paying royalties. Such a cruel world. =/
If someone develops special shutter contact lenses, would you wear those?

Thats easy... that kind of person just wants to become famous on the interweb.

Hey, many of ABBA's songs are listened to by the younger folk. Just not in the same old style.. More metal like.
One band even had the cash to make a music video of their tribute version of Summernight City.

Damn right they can! Though R(T)&J's kids might have a few birth defects.
Just out of curiosity, is this theoretical inventor in the farm buying business due to being metabolically challenged?
I remember that. I also remember uninstalling it by mistake and not knowing how to get it installed again (was my first PC). Those were the days. :-)

To back up my claim farther, we have this: "Contrary to some published claims, it most certainly is not an Ethylene-Oxide Fuel-Air Explosive (FAE). Some initial reports had stated that this replacement for the BLU-82 bomb uses more of the slurry of ammonium nitrate and powdered aluminum used in the BLU-82. Other reports indicated that the MOAB might use tritonal explosive as opposed to the gelled slurry explosive of the BLU-82. Contrary to some reports, it is not capable of deep ground penetration."
Give the camera a good mooning?

I wonder if your boss does not hear anything bad because all those who might complain have mysteriously died on the job?

Of course not all keyloggers are software based. Such as this one: http://www.keyghost.com/
Ahhh... since if they implanted it into the left, the action could be seen as sinister.

So when I receive a CD as a gift, I'm stealing that music as well since I did not personally pay for that item? Fun fun
