I'm really really glad so many developers who are starting out are using bootstrap. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to get people up to speed when they join my team. It's awesome to have someone start learning your codebase and have an

Essentially yes. The ocean is a fantastic dump for radioactive material. Also, it only takes 10 ft of water to block all radiation, alpha, beta and gamma. However. Radioactive 'waste' is actually really useful. We can recycle it and use

I'd disagree with the article and say the biggest threat of the RTG's is not being used by terrorists because a dirty bomb isn't all that effective with that amount of material, however, a bystander digging into one and having fun with the
