@TheRatkiller: Quantum entanglement cannot be used for communication. At least, not in the way you are envisioning.

@Phantom_Photon: That would require entirely new physics, nothing in quantum mechanics allows faster than light communication.

@Tzalaf: Iron is the least radioactive substance in the universe.

@Spinnukur: Normally I would try to educate someone in these circumstances. But given your last paragraph I'm going to stick with 'you're an idiot' and move on.

@comics0026: Sort of. Duck and cover will protect you from the initial blast if you're far enough away (rule of thumb: if you've got time to get into cover, cover will protect you). Surviving fallout will be aided by a better shelter. So after the blast, immediately move yourself into a basement. You generally want as…

As I like to point out in every article on nuclear weapons, this is absolutely true.

@apesterin: Because Kuwait was a major military ally of the US? The same as New Zealand and Australia.

@icemanforever: Yeah, stupid US. They should just use their crystal ball and predict the future!

@ClearEnigma: Uh, no, between 1993 and 2001 there were several major terrorist attacks on US interests. Most notably the 1998 embassy bombings that killed several hundred people, the Oklahoma City bombing. You can include the USS Cole if you like, but I don't know if that counts as terrorism.

@vinod1978: Well, I think there's a certain truth about the whole 'hate our freedom' bit, if you look at Sayyid Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood, but yeah, I doubt that was a terrible driving force. My neighbour's political or religious stance might piss me off, but I'm not going to put dog poop on his porch over it.

@grok666: Uh, compilers predate every one of those languages you listed.

@vinod1978: While by and large I agree with you, what do you think the root causes of the 9/11 attacks were?

@pagan_god: Trying to armor the hold is going about it the wrong way. You're far better off having a reinforced frame and frangible panels to vent the blast safely out of the aircraft, in a way that doesn't damage any critical systems.

@joelja: Okay, let's look at the root causes. The root cause of 9/11 was religious objections to American military bases in Saudi Arabia. Okay, why were there American military bases in S.A.? Well, largely to enforce policies such as the Iraq no-fly-zone in the 90s. Okay, why was the US enforcing a no-fly-zone in…

They're at least as deserving as Armageddon...

@Decad3nce:

Wouldn't Bradley Manning be a better choice than Assange?

Is the Nano waterproof? Shockproof? No? Then it's for the rugged poser.

At this point it's an allegation by one guy, and some parts of the story are a bit fishy:

@vinod1978: Are you a conspiracy theorist? If the explanation you think is most reasonable is that someone is pushing a political agenda, then you're displaying some early symptoms.
