    Ah thanks for catching that, I meant to say radioactive material. And on the topic of coal, I read a article that the average U.S. plant produces 600,000 tons of ash through a year of operation, whereas a nuclear plant produces 400 tons of waste, some of which might be able to be reused in...

    Computer "Gaming" Mice: are any not trash?

    I have a buddy who plays DOTA 2 religiously (300+ hours) with his Deathadder. Considering he clicks about 7 times a second throughout the entire 40+ minute match, its a pretty robust gaming mouse.
