I noticed they claim 1,000,000+ h MTBF, but they only warranty for less than 10,000 h (or 20,000 in some cases). What makes you wonder why they have so little faith in their product (or in their own reliability estimate).
and with the same lousy science as Mythbusters...
A "graduate degree" in industrial design seems to be the highest qualification among them. So that beats Hyneman's Russian literature degree.
Not quite, after a while the black hole has cleared the area around it of mass, and you go back to a stable situation (similar to the solar system). And in regards to the speed of stuff being dragged in, it's not falling in straight, it usually approaches at an angle, forcing it into a circular motion around the BH for a while. Where it sheds energy in the form of synchrotron radiation, what is what we measure.
A black hole that has cleared its area and doesn't accredit anymore would be invisible other than as gravitational lens.
a diamond coating. The only material that fulfills your demand for high thermal conductivity and good electrical insulation at the same time. The only problem is that the one good method to apply a diamond coating is chemical vapor deposition, and that is mostly line of sight. So you'll have a real tough time coating around those 1000 pins under your cpu.
hmm, I think you did a d^2 instead of an r^2 in your area calculations. The actual area is 55 m^2. With glass density around 2.5 g/cm^3 you get about 20 cm thickness. What's an astonishing aspect ratio, about the shape of a saucer.
well, a 26 ton chunk of glass doesn't tend to warm up or cool down a lot, at least not over the time span of typical daily temperature fluctuations. According to the Wiki article, they poured that thing in March, and now it has finally cooled off.
Sure not. They still need to sell you what you can't obtain "for free" anymore.
The message will read "you IP address has been recorded and will be forwarded to the FBI unless you purchase the legal copyrights at ourstore.com within the next 24h"
Good idea - as long as they waive their sovereign immunity, and that of their employees, in the same law. Otherwise all it does is censor the critics and allow business as usual.
Well, people keep talking like fuel cells are a novel idea. Airplanes took 15 years from first flight to the fighter airplanes of WWI. Fuel cells have been around a long time (see Apollo 13 for implementation), and haven't really "taken off".
What I really like about this usage is that they are using atmospheric oxygen. That's solving the half of the problem. The other half is the use of hydrogen as fuel, that one is a dozy of a whopper. Inefficient as in storage, by volume and by temperature requirement, dangerous in enclosed spaces, and inefficient in production.
What they don't mention is what temperatures their cells are running at. A lot of the cells I've seen have high operating temperatures, making them inefficient e. g. in city driving. The future might belong to a hybrid system, battery for short term use (augmented by a "plug-in" possibility), and a methanol fuel cell for long distance power.
That's how they populated it in the first place (was faster than trying to type in that printout from the FBI). And that's why John Smith and Robert Miller are on the list, together with Kathy Brown and Mary Tailor.
I didn't think that a "window" at the bottom of a 1 km slot would contribute much to the ambiance. So it might get sunlight on May 30th from 12:41 until 12:43, if it's not cloudy.
Well, the question is really one of ethics. If I get recruited with "we have the greatest child care in the world at X dollars", and a year later the X becomes X+1000, then I'd be thinking someone lied to me to the tune of $12,000 a year.
Quite obviously not many of Google's employees were using the service anyway (1% daycare spots based on the number of employees, that number should be around 10% realistically), and they still needed to heavily subsidize it. Someone can't do their math, what's bad for business in any case.
Well, here are a few numbers for you. With a 2.3 km^2 base you have a base length of 1.5 km. Assuming a classic Cheops shape, that gives you a height of 1 km, and a surface area of about 10.8 km^2, and.8 km^3 volume. So while you have 700 m^3 per inhabitant (or 300 m^2 assuming a 2.3 m ceiling), you only have less than 10 m^2 surface area. You will end up with a lot of long hallways, and one window in the last room. More likely, you will end up with 100,000 people having very nice window apartments, and 1,000,000 peons.
Or, since your environmentally advanced, you want to catch most of the sunlight, leading to 20,000 people with north facing windows, and 1,080,000 in windowless holes behind your solar arrays. Somehow, this sounds like a bit of a marketing challenge for the less than optimally placed units. So it does make for a nice "Bladerunner" scenario.
Well, those usually require you to have an email connected to the domain in question, and pay via credit card. If the credit card is stolen, your charges will be reversed and your cert will be revoked. If it's legit, you left a paper trail. And if you have access to the postmaster email of the domain you're trying to spoof, you're most likely already in that system, the the "man in the middle" attack has become a hijacked target.
While you're at it, can I interest you in this new process to convert lead into gold? New technology enables us to get around those pesky fundamental properties of matter.
This is not only going to be 1600 pounds - there are the springs, the motors, the controls...
Even is weight in the first stage only takes a quarter the penalty of weight in the last - they just gave away a quarter ton of payload.
There is one major difference with this case and your typical "search warrant" type operation. If they have a warrant they can force you during a directed search to open your files, whether physically in a safe or digitally encrypted (otherwise you're in contempt).
Here, they already had the evidence, they already had made a criminal case, and are now trying to force an accused to aid in his own prosecution. And that's why the 5th applies. Or so one can hope.
There is no theoretical limit on lithography (or at least not anywhere near these dimensions). It becomes harder and harder, but you will run into the limit of the insulation powers of your dielectric material much earlier. Think of the potential as a hill. The narrower it gets, the lower it gets too. So at some point the electron does not see any real barrier in your silicon dioxide anymore. In addition to the classic explanation, you also run into a quantum mechanical one involving tunneling. Even if you use a different insulator with a steeper hill, over short distances the electron can tunnel through your potential. So even if you switch e. g. to diamond, you will not go much below the 10 nm level before the system breaks down.
As for nanotubes, the dimensions of a nanotube are on the same order of magnitude (1 nm for single wall), and you still need the insulating layer to avoid your electron jumping from adjacent tubes and shortening out your device.
You might not get bored with your current MMO, you might just be looking for an alternative play stile. I've been end game raiding in EQ for six years, and still enjoy it. But for the casual gaming experience I level Wow toons. Having a true uber character in a game (to me) makes playing alts kind of useless; no challenging play if you know you can plow all this in 10 min if you really want to. Having a second MMO for the real newb feeling makes that much easier.
It is not a classic light microscope we're talking here but an atomic force one, and it's the first of it's kind.
They did have ordinary microscopes on the diverse space stations.
The way TFA starts about the August 10th ruling, you could think it was a recent event. The author refers to the summary judgment decision of 8/10/2007.
Since then there was a trial, and currently the bankrupt SCO is waiting for the final judgment to be entered to appeal - mainly that year old decision.

I remember playing EQ on dial-up. I doubt you can reach 250 GB a month at 56k... . And typical WoW patches are 250 MB, so again, no danger there.

There wasn't even a reference to the secret cow level yet either.

Nope, it's just an oversized RFID similar to what Walmart puts on their pallets.

That was a mix-up on NVidia and VIA. VIA is getting out of the chipset business, not NVidia
