...probably use up all plastic before we get a shoe problem :/

A scientific way to charm? How about charming your way to science? Sounds strange, from top to bottom. Don't know what's up and down after reading this.

Its is interesting indeed.
And a potential goldmine for C/C++ oldies.
I beleive that it show a lot of it's potential this year allready.
With WebGL catching on it will only get better.

True
Thats why you gotta love emscripten ;)
C/C++ and JavaScript will rule the next couple of decates.
Check it out for your self if you don't believe me.

It is more cross platform than anything else out there.
With an asm.js optimized browser, it is also very competitive, performance wise.
In that respect you could probably impliment openFL in emscripten :/
No installation required.

Astro physics 1 Theoretical physics 0
I think we should spend more resources on astro physics.
Better ten new super space telescopes than one new super proton smasher.

Please mod up. This has got nothing to do with trolling.

I didn't even have to read the post to make the conclusion

>I guess the Ukraine should've kept hold of those nukes

Now thats an interesting thought.

However, I'm pretty sure that was taken care of before it became a real option for the Ukranian government.

...But...

Regarding the nuclear weapons situation.
According to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...
Peak stockpile 1,080 warheads (1992)
Current stockpile 0 total
Maximum missile range NA

So.. no current stockpile. Sounds good to me.

But also according to Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...

Notice third column

"Satellite Orion", "Midrange Orion", "Super Orion"
Ship diameter, 17–20 m, 40 m, 400 m
Ship mass, 300 t, 1000–2000 t, 8,000,000 t
Number of bombs, 540, 1080, 1080
Individual bomb mass, 0.22 t, 0.37–0.75 t, 3000 t

This can't help one speculate, even with all this Megatons to Megawatts program going on.
What happened to those 1080 Ukraniean warheads?

Uhm?
Above numbers are based on available technology and materials from 1958
Both factors have improved somewhat since.
Of cause, as usual all the people that would be capable of pulling of such an accomplishment are either retired or dead.
Including one that have actually piled up enough money to actually do it, with some help of cheap Ukranian Megatons, making SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and Armadillo Aroespace look like wooses. http://9to5mac.com/2011/08/16/...
Did he actually do it?

Time to wake up and smell the Coffee + methane

"I love the smell of mehane in the morning"

Mission impossible :P

How hard can it really be?

Now take a huge strong tungsten cylinder, with thick walls and fill it with uranium 238.
Put a hook in one end and let it melt it's way down to reptilian depts.
Then add water.
Voila!
