Sorry, used the wrong word, my german isn't that great;)
What I meant was the problem that when a laser ablates a target the formed gasses will soak up the incoming lasers energy and decrease the power to the target.
My guess, now that i thought about it, is that they solve it by only shooting at targets were the formed gasses are removed by the target moving (i.e. missiles/planes).
1) How do they solve the problem with Bremsstrahlung?
2) Anyone got the rated power of that laser-beast? I guess they put 2-4kWh into that 5 second burst which leaves it at 1.4 - 2.8 MW. Which is a helluva lot more than the previous 20kW reported http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1221397
In our organization we went from spaghetti code to excellent code in under 24 months. The catalyst were the introduction of testers.
They validated our requirement lists and reviewed our system designs. As (us) software coders got the knowledge that their code were in for in-depth testing they started doing proper design work, peer programming and later module testing. Then, with the help of the test team, we started to maintain KPI:s about the process and got better delivery precision of the software.
As the number of bugs dropped we didn't need to patch-and-ship code. Now we release bi-yearly instead of bi-monthly which leaves even more time for QA-work.
Testers doesn't do quality - they are a catalyst to enable quality in each step in the software development process.
As a person that holds my integrity quite high I'm now contemplating on refusing to travel to USA when requested by my company.
As a software engineer for mission critical communications equipment (read: telephones for hospitals) this means that the US hospitals will not get the support they might need. I grant you that the chances that my contribution to a bug-hunt or similar will save lives, but I can say this much: US terror policies will cause more deaths than save. Just think of the elevated blood pressure everyone gets by a overzealous security guard at the airport...
We use lithium-ion batteries that have a very flat voltage curve followed by a steep dropoff once the juice starts to drain. Our solution were to measure the current used by the device and integrate towards the mAh left.
It kinda works but as the batteries gets old it looses accuracy.
27 MW of power and not dependent on any external cooling system???
This seems to be the perfect (and cool) vulcano generator as it most likely would turn its immidiate surroundings into molten rock if not cooled by external means.
Guess it shows that todays youngsters have a prefered method of aquiring their media. Either you go through layers of flash-animated blah-blah on some obscure site to get the album or you go to thepiratebay, enter the album name and voila. Downloaded and ready to play...
Seems that the music industry is not just loosing money on the media but also loosing the whole delivery infrastructure investment.
Guess it shouldn't be such a bad idea to have another space race. Look what the latest race gave us; Orbital grapefruits that went 'beep' and super-glue.
This is a great tool for startups that want to develop some new interesting features for mobile communication devices without going through the hassle of developing hardware and mechanics.
Guess the old manifesto might have to be reworked a bit now that WoW gotten all big and stuff...
This is our world now... the world of the dwarf and the witch, the beauty of the elf.
We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals.
We explore... and you call us criminals.
We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals.
We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs,
we wage wars,
we murder, cheat, and lie to each other and try to make us believe it's for our own good,
yet we're the halflings.
Yes, I am a WoWer.
My crime is that of curiosity.
My crime is that of judging people by what they say^H^H^Hwrite and think, not what they look like.
My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
I am a slasher, and this is my manifesto.
You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all,
Yea, voip over Internet is not something we recommend. We do enterprise solutions over tightly controlled infrastructure which makes helluva difference, pardon my french.
But hey, the article mentions the WiFi as the culprit, not the Internet:)
The article mentions VoWiFi quality as poor, which makes me believe that the writer is handling the truth somewhat irresponsibly.
I work for one leading VoWiFi company that currently installs a lot of systems at US hospitals. Do you think the hospital administrations should accept anything than perfect performance?
A MOS of 4.2 using ETSI's own measurements and seamless handover is what we are talking about. Not FUD about dropped calls etc. Our i75 passed Cisco's own certification program before their own product and has won a number of prices for best product.

Is it that hard to imagine why senators want US dollars to be spent in their home states instead of going to Russia?
My guess is that this is a national economy thing and has nothing to do with flight-worthiness or risk analysis.

If you really, really know what time it is. You will find yourself quite lost. Darn that Heisenberg!

Go ahead and score this as off topic.
ESD getting the patch to release all its contents in one go... Instant trip to choir invisible.

IMHO you should read it as 90% of the IT-professionals believes that MS released Vista to early and hence the problems with stability.
On the positive side is that many will at least try Ubuntu or similar before switching from XP to Vista. That's gotta be worth something...

Even gold plated equipment may oxide if the plating is not done correctly. This is known as electrolyte creepage.
Does John Searles Chinese Room argument go as prior art for a patent?
