It improves heat conduction by filling the small surface defects that would create miniature pockets of air. Air is a very good insulator, and very poor at conducting heat.
There is a noticeable difference, you can research it further, but as cheap as a tube of thermal paste is, why not spend an extra couple bucks on your shiny new processor?
I understood the point was to be able to have humanless monitoring. The laplace calculations implied that the computer would be very aware if there was a visible frequency that was in the range of a human breathing, or heart rate. If this visible frequency disappeared, then either the subject obstructed itself from the camera, or the motion stopped. This could then set off an alarm- if motion didn't continue within a short time frame.
There are plenty of trannies that don't get surgery, that simply do hormones and grow their own tits, and their body over time deposits fat in the more feminine locations etc.
Whether or not they get their junk mutilated is not something that's going to change where they lie on the uncanny valley chart.
Earlier this semester, I had shown my roommate actual footage of insurgents being taken out from the air. He was a bit disturbed, but later that week when he bought Modern Warfare 3, he was more disturbed at how similar it was- and for the first time felt uneasy about pulling the trigger in a videogame.
For a different anecdote, my father and I were on the highway, and we passed by a crew tossing animal corpses into a flatbed truck. Unexpectedly, to see them lifelessly thrown as such, was a bit disturbing to me. I mentioned this, and he said he was glad- he had been worried that violent games had desensitized me and was simply glad to see a "normal" response to gore/corpses.
So, what exactly is the downside of an extremely realistic game? Is it that we could actually be traumatized? De-sensitized? Or simply that the game would be less marketable with less people wanting to expose themselves to it? Maybe the game would actually be more marketable with people lining up to play it. What if it makes people realize what war actually looks like, and feels like? Would the next generation be less willing to go to war? To kill non-digital people?

Diablo III Released
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Blizzard is one of the few companies to patch their older games years later to no longer require the CD's to play.
It wouldn't surprise me if down the road they patched Diablo III to no longer require an internet connection.
I always liked the plans that involved speeding the asteroid up, or slowing it down just slightly.
I saw a recent idea that involved painting it white in order to decrease absorptivity.
When it was new many of us wrote papers on it

I was one of many to write papers on it and why it really didn't fix anything. It was never even a band-aid.
But the refineries were built anyway- solely because of government money. It absolutely never would have happened naturally if there wasn't government money to be made.
I see no reason why you couldn't have airlocks with a somewhat fancier HVAC system. Yes, similar to an airplane you would be compressing external air adiabatically, but you probably wouldn't need to cool it off, in fact it may need some additional heating after compression to be livable.
The pressure differential would not be outrageous, so the structure would not need too much special engineering. If the RCA dome in Indianapolis could pull it off, I don't see why a small observatory couldn't. The atmosphere would be very normal, and not airplane like.
Are wheelchairs in fact carbon neutral? Even disregarding carbon during manufacturing/delivery to the point where it is at your door, can you say positively that a user does not burn more calories using a wheelchair versus other alternatives of getting around? Can you say that calories not burned by someone wearing an efficient exoskeleton will never outweigh the energy savings of a wheelchair or alternatives?
Engineers have to work around many many parameters when designing solutions, and despite how much everyone nowadays wants to be green and talk about carbon, energy usage is not always a top priority especially in the medical industry.
Yes. This is how modern planes work, including all of the ones you are likely to ever commute on.
A finite amount of air is brought in by the diffuser. A finite amount of that air is ran through a compressor, and subsequently needs to be cooled off due to the adiabatic compression.
This type of OBOGS system is not state of the art. It is a staple of jet aircraft.
They did in fact build two of them simultaneously, however the 2nd rover was built for testing and is not sterile enough to send to Mars without a serious teardown. There may be further reasons why the 2nd rover is unsuitable to go.
None of this involves finding new planets, only verifying, thus nullifying the title of the post. The implication that the planets were "FOUND" in the hubble data is misleading because they had already been found elsewhere.
I don't need to re-read the summary. If you RTFA it shows hubble data this did not originally confirm planets. Run your algorithms on the old hubble data and tell me how you get a full confirmation of an undiscovered planet without verifying it with our new techniques. If you can't, then it only serves as verification- not really finding new planets at all.
They are all just symbols. No single method is right or wrong, it just depends what is the "norm" where you are from.
I lived in Russia, and guess what- you are gonna confuse people by writing your numbers the "American" way.
Your options are to (in no particular order):
A: Get used to working with other cultures/systems
B: Get everyone you are working with to standardize to one system or another
C: Get away from any sort of global engineering and continue doing things the "American" way because that's how it's always been done
PS. I love the metric system, but I still have to put up with my company using standard most of the time.

Yes, definitely.

It is their job to make the correct choice, especially difficult ones.
Whether or not they understood the ramifications and signed anyway, they are accountable for that decision.
Posting anonymously only further supports your attitude of minimal liability.

Perhaps it is a good thing to be disturbed.

Nah, the Pandarens were sort of a joke starting back in 2002 (Warcraft 3), and the joke actually kinda became part of the blizzard universe.

How does that help?
According to the link, for GPS, the relativistic difference is about 38,000 ns per day, or approximately .44 ns per second.
Isn't the moon much closer than the focal length range that the hubble was designed for? Wouldn't this be why the resolution of the moon is so low?
Are you trolling?
I don't know what to believe. You don't have a browser with built in spell check yet?

So design the capsule as a glider just in case...

Unsuitable for it's purpose? You can still wear it right? It didn't stop being a t-shirt did it?
Changing the orbital inclination should not even be on the same scale of fuel cost as changing the orbital altitude.
No. I've thought about it and have already spent over a year working professionally outside the US.
The county of Galveston opted out of SS and did quite well.
