Anything that allows you to live longer also increases your risk of developing cancer, or suffering from any other disease. Potential causes of death are a natural hazard of being alive.
That's exactly right, but people prefer letting the papers think for them.
In a nutshell: If the thing didn't go critical, it would not be a viable power source. Criticality is the condition where, on average, each fission begets one further fission--this is how a constant power level is maintained. Further, supercriticality corresponds to increasing power output, and subcriticality to decreasing output. All of these conditions are necessary for the reactor to respond to changing power demands, and none of them is inherently bad.
A notepad and a good pen. I recommend the Parker Jotter--inexpensive, rugged design, and they write for months at a time. Don't get the stainless steel barrel, though; that type gets "lost" too easily. People like shiny objects.
Actually, ME is not the most worthless and pointless OS update in the history of consumer OSs. You see, I have written one even more worthless and pointless. It's called "Venetian Blinds."
Slicing through an entry's veil of obfuscation and peering inside is truly a challenge--and far more fun than most crosswords. If you haven't tried, I highly recommend it.
I'm a bit late to the game, but I agree that C should be taught early on, if not at the beginning. After a few decades, it's become the Latin of imperative programming languages.
When I studied for the exam, I did not find Morse code particularly difficult. Sure, it takes a little while, and a reasonable amount of drilling, but developing the ear for it is not hard (for those who can hear).
Also, few transmission methods can so easily slice through poor radio conditions as Morse. After all, it is one of the earliest forms of digital communications.

Developmental neurobiology? Can you recommend any good books? Seriously--even without plans of becoming an expert, I enjoy learning new things.
