I don't think he was so worried about being targeted by a disgruntled neighbor as he was about an accidental explosion. There are a lot of idiots out there who don't know how to treat dangerous chemicals with the respect they deserve. Any number of negative consequences can result - death is certainly one of them. I would also hazard a guess that a giant crater next door would lower the value of your property. Look at the destruction wrought when garage meth labs go up in smoke, and most of those chemicals are readily available.
This reminds me of an old strategy PC game called Total Annihilation.
The plot is that in the far future not only is the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machine possible, but the reigning government makes it mandatory for the safety of all its citizens.
Of course, not everyone liked the idea of tossing their bodies aside, so civil war erupted.
A Pentium in a Macintosh? Talk about a baked apple...
At least now I can use my Mac Mini as a hot pad. Nothing like cooking up a nice bowl of Ramen while I'm compiling.
There was only one thing missing from this movie.
After the credits run through, all of those loyal fans who stuck it out to the very end watch as Darth Vader force chokes Jar-Jar to death.
Now that is what I call a happy ending.

You must be new here, no one reads TFA at Slashdot.
Now I can finally swim to Ota Gunga!
Jar-Jar beware, you're in for a scare...
Why build a skyhook? You know Dash Rendar's just going to fly by and blow it up...
Gattaca.
...but the bowl of petunias in me can't help but think, "Oh no, not again".
The NASA press release can be summed up in seven words:
That's no space station, it's a moon.
Apparently it is a top-secret project.
NASA has begun work on a replacement for the International Space Station. It is roughly spherical in shape, and resembles the AT&T logo...

Personally, this development gives me a chill.
