Alpha Beta and Gamma. While they are all dangerous Gamma radiation is of grave concern after a nuclear attack. Gamma radiation is very good at penetrating More information on the other types of radiation can be found here - Wikipedia: RadiationPlan out your day, Assume the nuke goes off at midday, i live about 12 km ( 7.5 miles ) from the city and i’d have about 4 hours before there would be too much radioactive fallout to remain outside.So I have 4 hours to loot every electrical gizmo from the local electronics store ( and hope they haven't been fried see: faraday box ) hopefully i’ll be able to get a big bunch of 2-way radios.

Not everyone wants to spend 4k on a decent PC i want to spend 1.5k and get me a quad core 4gb ram 3 hdd raid 0 beast ( oh yeah, i have one.. had to say it. ) Window handlingI’ve used PCs since windows 3.1, 3 months into using my mac ( although not exclusively ) I’m still not used to the windowing, i want automatic full-screen at the click of a button! and don’t go telling me about that green plus sign, that thing doesn't work half the time.DockThe dock.. well, that’s just about as useful as t*ts on a bull.When i have a window open and i minimize it it goes to a preview on the right... but if i tab then the only way i know i have a window ( or 2 ) open is a glowing blue dot under the icon? wtf is that? give me a goddamned task ...
