Nuclear power?
You're talking about nuclear power?
Booch: I'm talking about nuclear power and not just nuclear power, but
also nuclear weapons and the like. It's our ability to unlock these
secrets of the universe for either good or bad.


Why are you talking about nuclear power? What's immoral about it? If
it's immoral to develop software for nuclear power plants, it's immoral
to develop software, period, because there ain't no "clean power"
options, and you can't run ANY software without power.

You can argue that nuclear power is unwise, dangerous, even
authoritarian and male-centric, but *immoral*? What, does yellowcake
have a *soul* that you're destroying with your unholy radiations?

Surveillance cameras, the transparent society versus the police state,
wiretapping, data mining, yes... but nuclear power?
