It's still worrying that civilian instruments in space are dwindling. Sure, the military-industrial complex has Congress in their pocket, but science is not a top priority for military satellites.
The activists have a point. The reactor designs are relatively unsafe compared to modern designs, though it took a hell of a lot of punishment to show it.
During the transit, when looks at Earth from Venus, will the shadow of Venus look like a dot on Earth? What's this phenomenon called? (something eclipse??)
During the transit, Earth will be in the antumbra of Venus, so no, there won't be a clearly-defined shadow.
We've launched objects more massive than 500 tons into space before (2,030-ton space shuttle). Some of those objects have crash-landed. Humanity wasn't wiped out.
A good portion of the world is Monotheistic, the majors religions that are not Monotheistic are not praying to Roman Gods. Jesus +1 Romans -1
False cause. Jesus died centuries before Christianity was anything more than a persecuted cult. If anything, the Roman emperor Constantine I was more directly involved with saving Christianity from total obscurity.
How many barrels of oil are created by the earths natural processes every day? How much oil can we pump per day and stay sustainable?
I couldn't find any estimates, but it's far, far less than our current rate of consumption (hence, why it's considered non-renewable). Since conditions have to be optimal, my guess is that purposeful burial of biomass or algae biofuel generation would easily outpace it.
In this case it's documents being copied. But lets say the law firm is litigating over a music CD. They send a paralegal down to the nearest store to pick up a copy, then duplicate that copy for every attorney on the case. Would that be okay?
How about if it's a computer program. Can they just duplicate it for every attorney because it's part of a case? A movie?
As far as ethics are concerned, I think that's perfectly okay. Then again, I don't subscribe to the notion of "intellectual property" in the first place.
France has a widely-deployed mass transit system. The simple solution would be to treat cases of particularly reckless driving, including drunk driving, very seriously with a revocation of the offender's driver's license for X years (a permanent revocation for repeat offenders). It gets the point across that driving is a privilege, and it sidesteps the expense of installing breathalyzers in every vehicle.
My guess is that the submitter felt a non-sequitur about Microsoft was necessary to get this submission accepted on Slashdot. Either that, or it was some not-so-clever shilling.
I was under the impression that 3D printing currently only worked with a few materials, and usually was just used with plastics. But 3D printing with metal? Welcome to the future.
I just wonder why someone would be willing to live in a place that is by all measures a risky place to establish a life. Why? When I think of the polar bear, the weather, the isolation and so on, I fail to see the reason why I would want to live there. Man is surely intriguing.
Some people like to be closer to nature than others. It's a risky thing to do, but the Earth is a beautiful place, and that's fulfillment enough for those people.
That doesn't make rocket science any easier. Rockets are fundamentally about strapping a bomb to your underside and hoping that a very controlled explosion takes place away from you.
Indeed. Look at practically every rocket from any country (yes, even the United States), and notice that there are numerous failures spread throughout the launch history. Luckily, almost all of these are unmanned. The true tragedies are the manned missions that result in loss of life. Consequently, there are far higher standards for a manned launch (part of the reason it's so incredibly expensive to send humans into space).
"Ah ha!" a Chinese government spokesperson reportedly said. "The only way to save the planet is to melt our cadmium-laden kids' jewelry into a toothpaste-like substance. Bet you never saw that coming."
The Fed was created by the 'progressives'. Central banks are one of the ten recommended measures for creating a communist state in the Communist Manifesto.
So don't blame capitalists for the inevitable failure of another stupid left-wing policy.
Right, a privately-run, for-profit bank with unelected members that controls the nation's money supply sounds so communist./sarcasm
Or, like all major changes in this country, it was a compromise between two or more competing philosophies. Perhaps not an area where compromise works, but that's how it happened.
It would be a lot easier to believe that Climate Change was about saving the world if their policy agenda didn't match up 100% with that of the old socialist bloc.
It would be a lot easier to believe that Economics is about saving the world if their policy agenda didn't match up 100% with that of the Supply-side big boys club.
Do you see the logical fallacies in these statements yet?

Here's hoping Japan makes the switch to thorium.
5 volts should be enough for anybody.

"Too good to be true?"
Perhaps not, if you don't mind patent-encumbered chips with the occasional bug in them.

Nvidia's next-gen SoC will use a Kepler-derived graphics core.
When did Johannes Kepler solve a graphics core?

In short the only people that have been relatively consistently treated are rich white males over 21. Everyone else gets pissed on occasionally.
FTFY
The $2 expense? Get a grip.
An unnecessary $2/car, if it doesn't actually solve the problem. I'm also assuming it's a recurring cost if they're designed to be disposable.
I suspect the article is fake, however, so I'll leave it there.

Powdered metal isn't cheap.
If this is pigs blood, why is this a problem?
Animal cruelty aside, it's a public health hazard. Blood is one of the best substrates available for growing pathogens.

I'm guessing the whole family is afflicted with pica.
