    Did you just fall off the turnip truck? all rockets launched have this, manned and unmanned; all military missiles from short range and upward have this; private rockets will be required to have self-destruct capability also. Rockets bound for orbit have enough energy in their fuel tanks to equal yield of tactical nuclear weapon. If it malfunctions and heads for populated area of course it has to be destroyed, seven people on board who are going to die anyway should not take out hundreds or thousands on the ground.

    ah yes, you've noticed one of the fine features of the today's advanced wind turbines. they grind birds into a rich fertile mulch, to increase appeal to the farmer market segment. Soon to be debuted for offshore tide turbines, to transform whales, baby seals and dolphins into a nutritious and beneficial chum.

    very few of us will die

    yeah, what's a 800 dead U.S. soldiers per year? (97% of them have died since "victory" declared May 2003.)

    let's cut the bullshit, we're lining the pockets of war profiteers and oil tycoons on a purposeless war, and greasing the skidloads of money with the blood of american soldiers.

  9. Re:Still not sold - OpenSolaris in Peril on OpenSolaris Indiana Released · · Score: 1

    SCO is required by contract with Novell to inform them for approval prior to such deals. Really, you need to plug into some authoritative news sources. There is plenty of "Unix" which Sun does not own, which they had to license, and the means by which that was done was in violation of contract. That includes many things in OpenSolaris. Get your butt over to Groklaw and start reading transcripts instead of popular blogs and cheesey rag popular computer news sites.

    things not looking so good after reading the transcripts of the Novell/SCO trial, Novell wasn't properly involved nor paid in SCO's granting to Sun the ability to open source System V technology in OpenSolaris. Uh oh, what SCO lied about Linux might be 100% dead on with OpenSolaris, stolen Unix IP!!!

  13. Re:Double standards on An Inside Look At Iran's Nuclear Program · · Score: 1

    po-210 has plenty of uses, including thermoelectric batteries and anti-static brushes. really primitive fission weapons don't need an initiator at all. po-210 is a lousy material to use in a bomb that must be stored for any length of time, the po-210 decays too rapidly and must be replaced often.

  14. Re:Here the propaganda machine starts again on An Inside Look At Iran's Nuclear Program · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The national debt has much to do with the value of the dollar. This war we can't afford has driven the national debt to the stratosphere. Your attributing the current problems of the dollar to the last 6 months is utter bullshit, the U.S. has been drained for years by central bankers, globalist megacorporations, and this war-without-end to line the pockets of war profiteers and oil tycoons.

  15. Re:Bomb, bomb Iran, bomb, bomb Iran! on An Inside Look At Iran's Nuclear Program · · Score: 2, Insightful

    dude, unclog your brain. It's heavy water reactors that can run on un-enriched fuel, they can even run on depleted uranium (= 0.7% u-235)

    there are numerous useful isotopes for industry and medicine and research that can be produced by a heavy water reactor. do some research before spewing your ignorance all over the internet.

    a heavy water reactor is one way to start a nuclear program without having a stock of enriched fuel on hand

  16. Re:Bomb, bomb Iran, bomb, bomb Iran! on An Inside Look At Iran's Nuclear Program · · Score: 5, Insightful

    for sure? the main reason for a heavy water reactor is that it can run on natural uranium. It is one way to start a nuclear program when there is no enriched fuel. Sure it can do some neat tricks for bomb making, but also for research and industry. You seem to be confused like a few others here on history, Iraq invaded Iran to start the Iran-Iraq war. Iraq even used chemical weapons. Iran has invaded no one for centuries.

    Obviously stolen? the F-14 has been scrapped. they're in junkyards here and abroad. entire decommissioned aircraft like the Harrier have been sold on eBay, perfectly legal. There's a hobbyist market for the parts for all manner of aircraft too. You can buy decommissioned howitzers, tanks, jets...parks and VFWs have them. And uniforms and MRE, anyone can buy those, perfectly legal.
