What part of "rad-hardened box" did you not understand? If it lets the bad photons through, it isn't sufficient.
You can never be absolutely certain that the shielding will stop 100% of incoming photons. Assuming I'm not using Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle in vain, there is always a chance, however miniscule, that a stray photon will pass directly through shielding. A second layer of shielding reduces that chance further.
...only to be bludgeoned with auctions that consist of nothing but shipping overcharges after shipping overcharges after scams and more scams. Just trying to find a working computer or computer part sold by an average honest Joe at a decent price is nearly impossible.
I completely agree. IIRC, Ebay charges a fee based on the price of the item. So what do folks do? They simply make the item $2.99 and jack the shipping up to $35. I don't sell on ebay, but what they should do is require the dimensions/weight of the item so that they can place a shipping estimate on the auction.
If Joeblow is going to try to sell me a stick of PC133 RAM for $0.99, I'd like to have some idea as to what it's really going to cost him before I hand over $25 in shipping.
Hmm. I had always thought that the Dark Ages were brought on by the shifting ways of thinking from how the universe works to how to better serve God./shrug

Even their cake isn't fully compatible with iCSSing.
Not to mention the fact that neutrons are subatomic particles.
I think this is an awesome idea, but how will it work with the looming lack of net neutrality?
