- Government to face legal action from nuclear test veterans

http://www.politics.co.uk/news/opinion-former-index/legal-and-constitut
ional/govt-to-face-legal-action-from-nuclear-test-veterans-$1262556.htm

Basicly: Ex-servicemen involved in British nuclear testing in the 1950s sued the government at the high court in the UK.
They`ve asked compensation for 50 years of illnesses they argue are direct as a results of the exposure during experiments .

Most of them have gotten strange radiation illnesses ofcourse.. but a large portion of them haven`t died directly.. What amazing is: that allot of them actualy made it to 60-70 to sue the government.

alif, fallout3 is pretty sweet. im enjoying it a lot.

im pretty disappointed with the new dlc though. was short, poorly put together and emphasized to me that fallout3 cant hack it as a fps. it *needs* its rpg elements to stay on top.

the next 2 dlcs should be dope though.

Not my favorite TED talk, seemed too much like he wanted to scare people to be paranoid... I know it wasn`t the case, but it felt that way.

I haven`t watched the video yet, but I would assume that it basically states that all you have to do is get inside a lead lined refrigerator...

duck and cover is a good idea if that`s all you`ve got: it can shield you from shattered glass and other debris. God this guy is boring and he sounds like a fart

it`d be scary if terrorists started using the Fat Man from FO3, especially the one that shoots eight mini nukes in a large area all at once. -_-

video games shall be the death of us...
