Top of the line is 32GB and costs $600? That's not just a bit dissapointing. How much can another 32GB of flash storage cost at OEM prices, $10? And no, I don't want to store everything on your servers, Google.

You cannot simply brush aside this issue. Even if we have 100% safe reactors, generating waste that is deadly in a thousand years is simply not a good idea, no paranoia involved. Besides: nuclear had its chance - they blew it because of gre

I am guessing here but I believe the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were also weapons tests. And you want a clear field of vision to perform a precise test.
