Remember, The spatter is highly infectious if breathed in; Gas masks are a great idea. (as well as nice fashion accessory, if done with class 3 dressout.)
Nuclear tech saves many lives every day(Cancer treatment and detection), as well as powering the most likely long term energy solution.
The Japanese did not use graphite moderated reactors for very well known reasons, Chernobyl being the best example of those reasons... (Negative steam void reactivity coefficient, was a major one, iirc.)
The reactors at Chernobyl were pretty much updated versions of the ones we built during WWII to make plutonium, also iirc.
Idiocy=Bad.
Any tech is only as bad or good as what you use it for, and how you use it is your problem to explain.

Troll.
If you were a vet, you would know that the VA gives veterans free healthcare.
Thankfully for you, SCOTUS also made lying about military service not a crime...
I'd already read most of Asimov at 8, and lost my chemistry set privileges. :)
Not going to be a geek, is he?
I'd start with Niven's Ringworld; I remember reading that before puberty, lol.
Yes, exactly!

You have to be running Linux to see the -1 Snobbery option.
I guess I shouldn't have told you that...

I work with extremely sensitive radiation detectors at work; our typical energy is gamma at 511keV.
These gammas are derived from artificial radioactive sources, with a short half-life.
Testing these detectors is extremely informative; natural cosmic rays are much more worrisome to me than the sources...
I see 10-20GeV pulses at around 1-5 per minute; that's about all the energy they can dump in my detector, lol.
2x 8" lead bricks do not appreciably attenuate these cosmics at all; amazingly, underground missile silos were built to a spec! :)

I didn't make him for You!
It depends on the particular machine race the spacecraft runs into; If it's Beserkers, they aren't going to care about the cute bald chick. :)
The Borg on the other hand; If they look like 7of9, they can assimilate me anytime.

I'd love to argue with you, but as you're right, that's hard to do.
Hey, hopefully an asteroid strike will make this all seem silly.
I bought the last one, I think. :)
No one will ever steal it, unless they bring a forklift.
Amazingly, my cable system finally started broadcasting some channels in 1080 this month... I bought the set in 2004.
Where some Animals are more equal than other animals.
First post, never got that before.
Panopticon this week; Maybe we'll get Skynet by accident?
That might be best for everyone in the long run...
They apparently Will buy anything.
I've skipped the last few Ubisoft games; thankfully, they have an idiot at the company that told us how bad Crysis2 would suck.
I haven't bought anything from them since Crysis; looks like the company would have done well, if they hadn't gone all George broussard on us.
Nobody's up to Harlan's level. :)
Or should I say down, lol.
Imagine a psychopath like Hitler in charge of such an army. Not having to care about defections, unwilling troops...
Give it a few years; we won't have to imagine anything.
I think Fred Saberhagen wrote the books about where we are headed, not ACC.

Skynet was an amateur compared to these guys. :)
The old/new coke thing is when they phased in high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar.
The delay gave everyone long enough to forget what it was supposed to taste like...
Mexican coke still has sugar in it, and is best for mixed drinks. :)
Asking for "Mexican Coke" at Kroger's can give unexpected results, lol.
You've now Become The Man.
What a drag.
Time exists only to keep everything from happening at once; standing outside time, you could see it all as one big 'event'. :)
There's always somewhere to use last generations' computer...
My p4 is used for programming my car, and the K6-II 450 is my TV computer for my bedroom; it will run mythTV.
All the later one will still play games, so they're loaded with whatever was current at the time.
Oh, I guess using more power is bad too. Oh well. :)
Agreed.
