If you look at the designs for some more recent scientific reactors like the integral fast reactor [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_Fast_Reactor] the end of the decay series isn't radioactive for long (~400 years). These reactors can also reuse the radioactive waste we already have with a little processing. Radioactive waste from current reactors only needs to be contained for around 10,000 years.
I've seen this a couple times, mostly right after It loads a part of the game, but it isnt that annoying. The biggest problem I have with halflife 2 is that it takes close to 13 minuites to actually load the game...
Of all the lan parties I've hosted most of them take 2-4 hours to setup because not everyone has the same games, or their computer is horribly set up. Where with 4 tv's, 4 xboxs and halo it takes half an hour to set up, and about the same to shut down, and can be a lot more fun than counterstrike.
I was once "dusting" off my computer with some cheap radio shack air duster stuff, and when you turn it upside down it shoots out freezing cold vapor that is very fun to play with. Little did I know how flammable that vapor was. I was spraying it all over my motherboard and inside everything, while my computer was on, when I accidentally bumped some power connector in the wrong way and it made a little spark, but it was enough to burst my entire motherboard into flames for half a second, and singe off part of my eyebrows too. And of course my computer stayed on the whole time!

I like this one better
