well, why doesn't the article talk about that aspect then? It only talks about radiation levels in the soil. You brought that up, it has nothing to do with anything. More fearmongering from the green lobby I guess, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I thought you paid some amount when you bought a tv and after that it was (mostly) free

its not built into the game, and you can see him doing it earlier in the portal demo.

Perhaps, though, I was thinking about this, and its not that the switch will accidentally activate, its that it will nullify itself so it will NEVER activate, making the bomb a 1 billion dollar dud. Think about it: If you're busy nuking the landscape, what happens if one bomb goes off and burns all the triggers for the rest of the bombs? Then your entire war strategy has to be adjusted or scrapped.

But you still need a triggering mechanism for that weapon that is immune to EMP surges. Think about it: if the bomb goes off then you don't really worry about what condition the switch is in, because it going to be vaporized. You can alternatively not park your weapons next to emp sources but you need to make sure they won't accidently detonate if they are.

the switch itself will survive. Also, when they say EMP they mean on microscopic scales, not like the emp that is emitted when a nuke goes off. Transistors won't work here because of how they're made, but all this is, essentially, is a piece of metal.

25500 for 'nsa spy' I think that's enough to prove the OP wrong

No, its because independent bloggers have no editors or anyone to check their sources. In the world of blogs, waiting on fact checks is suicide. Its post post post and hope that something you wrote was right. Who gives a shit if you spread misinformation, its a fucking blog.

But its only acquired individually when a society thinks it should be allowed to be (aka free, a right, etc). You just proved my point. Thank you.

No, you can be private and think you are free but just not know enough to understand you're still a slave. Without education, there is no real privacy or freedom. They're just words to define something else you were told. Unless you can understand what makes you private or free, you can't have either.

Without education, there is no privacy or freedom. You are a slave to your masters with no hope of self-sufficiency.

actually I was about to post that I have a M-audio wireless receiver that can pick up the conversations of my neighbors inside their own houses. From my house. I don't even have to be near your house and I can record everything you say. Are your conversations really private if I can record them from inside my house?

I believe you mean anthropophagosophile

because his has their names and other identifying information. Ours is just length of calls to anonymous numbers.
