They may be producing energy but they're way way way behind in the expenses vs. revenue equation. They make these little target pellets that are crazy expensive, and the energy output is heat so that's pretty cheap. As always, they're still 20 years away from having a viable operation.
Not using CG is generally considered a positive these days. Working around the limitations of filming real things is a major part of the art of film making.
What matters is the results from the top journals only, or maybe expand that to only the ones that people are currently trusting. The same argument is made about the number of crappy apps in a specific app store. Go ahead, add another ten million crappy apps to the library. It's irrelevant. Show the number of crappy apps that actually get downloaded or show up high in search results. Nobody cares how many fake journals are out there as the majority are painfully obvious. What matters is if the top ones have poor quality.
The ISS has made zero contribution to anything. It's sole purpose is to waste your tax dollars. The only positive thing to come out of it is that astronauts get to fly up there and float around, which apparently is pretty fun. Nothing useful has been done up there besides trying to get a coke machine to work in orbit and making a pretty cool cover of Space Oddity.
Considering that 2 of the 5 shuttles that were in service (Enterprise was never launched) were destroyed taking everyone on board I don't think the premise of the movie is that far off.
Even gasoline cars have complex electrical systems. They love to catch on fire thanks to the quality materials and craftsmanship found in the modern car.
Yes they do. I've seen many many videos of this on Liveleak. In fact one was a car parked by the curb. It was completely engulfed in flames and pedestrian decided to walk past it on the sidewalk, and right them KABOOM. Gas tanks DO explode, maybe not as easily as in a Michael Bay movie but Hollywood didn't make it up.
FBI guy: But Judge, I need to break these fifteen laws and the constitution to catch the bad guys! Judge: Oh, gotta catch the bad guys. Is this where I sign? FBI guy: Yes, thanks. Oh, and can you please nullify this parking ticket for me while you're at it? Judge: Sure thing. Now go get 'em.
I was simply saying that they can't simply provide a measure of the radiation exposure and report it. You'd basically have to do a long-term study to figure out what the danger from exposure is. Care to volunteer?
I thought the point of GPU's was to not only offload the rendering of 3D graphics but also the algorithms. Game developers don't want to have to program primary rendering algorithms with every game they create. Do they? Am I missing something?
So one method is probably a small fraction better than another method of teaching fractions. This isn't how you enhance the next generation's education. This is how you make it look like you're doing something to help when you're actually just raising a fuss over the tiniest of things. This is the plastic banana slicer of education: an answer to a question nobody asked.
As you know, gases are composed of atoms or molecules that are constantly bumping into one another. After a while these collisions can cause dents in the atoms causing them to lose their shine. While ok for balloons and such, medical and aerospace applications require new shiny helium atoms.

I've had one in my desktop for a couple years now.
They pay for plenty of qualified scientific advisers and then they ignore all of the advice.
The problem with rants like this is that Slashdotters can't seem to detect sarcasm.

And it'll look only slightly more realistic than The Reluctant Astronaut.
Ron Howard really set the standard ages ago when they filmed large portions of Apollo 13 in actual zero gravity.
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!
Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!
[Krusty:] Hey Hey
The Federal Highway comission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.
Canyonero!
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)
She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!
Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)
Drive Canyonero!
Woah Canyonero!

Thing's been on the market for years. Why can't editors or posters do the tiniest bit of research before declaring that something is NEW?

When trying to depict something as seedy make it French. I didn't make up the rules.
The technological equivalent of having unprotected sex through a glory hole at a Quebec truckstop.

It's not that simple. It isn't a constant exposure. You hang around long enough and you'll ingest stuff, which is a whole other ball game.
I thought the point of GPU's was to not only offload the rendering of 3D graphics but also the algorithms. Game developers don't want to have to program primary rendering algorithms with every game they create. Do they? Am I missing something?
And just like other gods they seem to be obsessed with sex.

The slashdot comment system sucks balls. Oh, you were probably trolling with that comment, weren't you?

As long as you label your units you're generally ok but for some reason people feel they don't need to maintain unit labels when they're programming.
