DARPA Announces Nanotube Anti-radiation Pill

[Crowfoot]

That's only Fallout 2 and are later in most of my games. And somehow, sometimes I don't get them...

Salvatores are always the first on my wack list in Reno ... just to get my grubby paws on those shades.

good project

And who ever said fallout was fringe! lol

 

[SuAside]

The funny thing is who is given credit for coming up with the idea, The carbon-sink anti-radiation pill was proposed in Tim Cain's 1997 computer game Fallout.

That made my day

saw the avatar & thought: "hey, i didnt post this!"

A frightening thought just came to me, what if some idiot tries to make a real 'Fatman'?

He's gonna get fried up before the bomb even explodes?

And where'd he get materials for it, if we are not talking about some rich asshole from Iran or other Arabian Country?

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Lets say that a real weapons developer wants to make a portable nuclear 'catapult', and not for tactical combat like the Davy Crockett but something you would see soldiers running around with.

Who said that Iran or Arabia has all the rich assholes capable and interested in making an idiotic game weapon in reality?

Most of the arms dealers in the world are from America, Germany, France, and England, not Iran or the middle east, those are the guys who are likely to buy it!

Selling guns to other people is one thing.

Selling weapons capable of destroying entire cities would just be plain dumb.

Honestly, no country would ever do it, too many ways that could "backfire".

My biology teacher told me years ago that with twenty-five thousand fire-detectors one could use the radiated particles inside to build a "nuclear waste bomb". Then again, he was a crackpot and stated that by now we should all have died from the Avian flu. Nasty stuff.

He's correct on the "nuclear waste bomb" though. It's not hard to gather the material for a dirty bomb (Polonium, that poisoned Litvinenko, is fairly common), it's harder to get get it separated and latch it unto a bomb.

However, a dirty bomb isn't a nuclear bomb, it's just a normal bomb with some radioactive particles in it to make it dirty.
