Yeah, ok ok. So we might destroy the earth or pop a void in the universe or something. Even so, the Register article about this discovery says that the fire ball burned 300x hotter than the surface of the sun...that's surely an abundant source of energy if it could be controlled...yet, doesn't this sound a little bit like that contraption Doc-Oc created in Spider-Man 2? When is April's Fools anyway?
What about the potential for worm holes and space travel? Wasn't there some posting a while back about surviving the end of the world by sending some spermies and eggs in a nanobot through a black hole in order to populate humans on the other end (whether that be another dimension or another corner of the universe)? Haha!
I have been forced to use WordPerfect as an employee for an EPA contractor. I am not impressed by this program. Regardless, the U.S. Government should universalize its requirements because sometimes, the EPA will ask for WordPerfect and sometimes it will ask for Word... I'm sorry, but this policy is completely retarded because neither program converts its counterpart well. As a result, documents often must be completely rewritten when transferred. Bottom line: it's a major pain leads to even more bureaucratic inefficiencies than should exist.
Yeah, but a growing number of people are becoming anti-Micro-Borg (soft) and thus choose Google, et al. as the de facto standard for search engines.
Microsoft definitely has a leg up in revenues and "cash in the bank", but they also have the software/operating systems market to push as well.
I'm sure MS can close the gap, but if they continue to create these "tentacle"-esk programs that just destroy your web-browser with stupid little add-ons, people are going to be dissuaded from their use.
The features may be great, but there was a reason that Firefox guru's stripped down the Netscape Browser of all of its useless junk.
So that kind of response is the reason why I never asked, because some science people are too high and mighty to respect the questions of the lesser people.
I was not kidding, I don't know the physics (or the chemistry) of such an action, that's exactly why I asked.:)
Now, to respond: I wasn't talking about an exploding Volcano, like Mt. St. Helens spewing ash and stuff. Rather, I was thinking of a volcano that had lava flowing out of it. Would there be some way to encapsulate the nuclear waste, throw it in, and push it down in there? Then at some point, it would be vaporized (before any radionuclides or uraniumoxides, as you call them) would be transported into the atmosphere...is that totally not right?
So we know the ferocious potential of lava flows now. Why can't we use active lava domes to destroy nuclear waste? Wouldn't that do the trick?
I always wondered this, but was too afraid to ask the teacher for fear of being laughed at. Sad, I know, but does anybody know the potential for this type of thing?

Would have been a better post if you had said, "Gamma "Nazi instead...hahaha!
