Unless, of course, you get the safe that's rated for computer media.
This is an area where you really need to RTFTS (tech specs) as it will tell you EXACTLY what kind of fire, temperature and duration it will protect a specific kind of media for.

Now, repeat your experiment using salt water in your measuring cup, instead of fresh water, and float fresh water ice cubes in it. That will more accurately model reality and that's REAL science, my friend.
Note: What do you think will happen when the fresh water melting lowers the density of the liquid (fresh water is less dense than salt water) but the overall mass remains constant?

This already exists. These votes are scheduled every few years to keep the scheduling simple.
Stop acting like a politician and calling for a new law/amendment when we just have to use the tools we have. Want them out? Vote them out and don't reelect them.

Personally, I prefer using a little bit of it for both.
In case you haven't noticed, the world is a messed up place. If we, as a country, don't have the ability to kill people efficiently, and in large numbers, we likely wouldn't exist as a country. Someone else, willing to spend money on killing people, would come in and take over.
As for welfare - I like the sig for "shutdown -p now" - "I like paying taxes. With them I buy civilization." I'm not saying that we should support a professional welfare class, but we should make sure everyone has BASIC needs so they don't decide to start mugging people and robbing houses to avoid starvation..
