It was a Mk-4, basically an improved Fat Man design, but using a composite Uranium/Plutonium core with a levitated pit. Obviously not a gun-type. As a matter of fact I don't think the US had any gun-type devices in service during 1950, the T-1 demolition bomb was withdrawn from service before then and the Mk-8 had not yet entered production.

Had the bomb been armed with its fissile capsule, the immediate death toll may have reached six figures.

And maybe that's the reason the fissile material wasn't inserted into the bomb? And in any event I'd be very surprised if the fire caused the explosives to detonate sufficently simoultaneously to actually cause anything more than a fizzle.

Oh, really? Do you have any evidence? If I brought a baboon into a supermarket, would that be OK? If I pointed out that my baboon was gay, would it be homophobic to refuse the beast entry?

You're an idiot, allow me to quote the fucking SUMMARY for you:

"A statement given by restaurant owners Hong Hoa Thi To and Anh Hoang Le said one of the waiters had understood Mr. Jolly's partner Chris Lawrence 'to be saying she wanted to bring a gay dog into the restaurant. The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been desexed to become a gay dog,' the statement said. Mr. Jolly and Ms. Lawrence were refused entry to the restaurant -- which displays a 'guide dogs welcome' sign -- even after providing staff with a guide dogs fact card."

They displayed a sign with the text "Guide dogs welcome" and then denied the dog access since they confused it for a gay dog. Yes, it WAS homophobic to deny the dog entry.

The verdict explicitly addresses this point and states that due to TPB running the tracker and thus being intimately involved in the sharing of copyrighted material any comparison with Google is false. They were not convicted because TPB is hosting a bunch of torrent files, they were convicted because they were running a tracker.

I don't think he worries about the cost of upgrading, I think he worries about having to learn how to use the new system. I'd bet that's the reason he wants such a long lifetime.

The USS New Orleans isn't equipped with a sonar suite, perfecting underwater stealth technology sufficiently to hide from her isn't much of an accomplishment.
