IIRC, getting particles to speed isn't the hard part or the reason accelerators are so big. The reason is because they need the diameter to be big enough that they can keep the particles confined in a magnetic field without the particles smashing into the walls.
Too tight and the field strength needed to contain the particles simply becomes unreasonable.
This. Simply, programmers want and need control to make things work the way they imagine, and graphical programming doesn't give it to them.
A good analogy is that graphical programming makes it easier to be a programmer just like pre-cut shape sponges make it easier to be an artist, or pre-thought out plotlines make it easier to become a writer. In reality, programming is a mix of art and math, and tools that try to dumb it down while simultaneously exorcising control end up doing more harm than good.

How to stay relevant when faced with obsolescence: 1. Make rules that keep you relevant 2. If 1 fails or is too hard, stop progress
The idea that if the FAA didn't halt the beer/drone delivery service because it didn't have the blessing of the FAA would cause commercial airline crashes is laughable at best. FAA should have paved the way for commercial drone delivery a decade or more ago, and this never should have been an issue.
And that mindset is the problem. They sold defective products (didn't fulfill their end of the contract) and refuse to fix them despite you paying them money initially to fulfill their contract for working products... because they don't want to hurt their profits made from selling you defective products.
Yep, it is called a moral panic. In Australia, it worked for guns a few decades ago, and it is still working today with silly things like this or restrictions on porn of small breasted women, etc.
Fool me once, shame on me, fool me constantly, I must be Australian.
I am quite certain that the U.K. gov't has a running wager on who can come up with the most asinine moral panicks and solutions that the subjects will buy unquestioningly.

If it is as strong as aluminum, it may be suitable for 3D printing AR-15 lowers. You think the moral panic around 3D printing crappy guns that only work a few times is bad, imagine the news field day when we can print the registered part of an AR and have it be just as durable or more so than existing polymer lowers.
My highschool required 3 years of a foreign language to graduate, 0 of which I had any interest in, and only 1 (the first) had any real-life applicability (spending a week in Mexico City).
Effectively, for me, two of those courses were a completely forced waste of time.
Taking more classes on programming/software development would have been much more useful.
Forget the Target breach, how about the Boston Marathon bombing? That was exactly the kind of attack this program is being sold as preventing. And it didn't. Yet we still have it and it still hurts us.
You are being childish, vapant, and cowardly. Texas is one of the most successful of states part of 'Real America', with minimal threats to freedom coming from the state, inexpensive land, lots of economic opportunity in the technology and defense industries, a rugged individualist culture, many things to love, but your infinitely wise suggestion is to pick up and leave because of one downside instead of working to change it?
I don't even know why you wasted post-space with that crap.
Reefer madness and drug bans, prohibition (far more extreme than anything we see today), Vietnam...
This type of thinking has been around for a looooong time.
The difference is, there is much more 'what is' encroaching where religion once ruled. I see this backlash in Texas as the dying throes of those beliefs. They *will* be set straight in college, for those that go, and it is the college educated that will be making the rules for the next generations. The ignorant and lesser educated will adapt.
I didn't see anything in your post that indicated you knew what the arguments were.
Kamen et al think they have found a revenue stream in the fees collected from H1-B visas that could be used for additional funding of STEM programs. It has nothing to do with more permissive immigration policies being sold as a way to improve the education system (other than through money only).
Unfortunately, I expect the gov't to be losing money on the H1-Bs due to inefficiencies, but I don't know for sure.
No, Slashdot is an American centric news site. Most things posted that are gun or social issue related are about issues in the U.S.
But I hope this does spark debate on the perversity of attempting to disarm John Q. Public, defender of himself and others and hunter of pest animals but arming Officer Overreaction and Pvt. Soldier of Fortune with anti materiel rifles and a trained disdain for civilians.
Or the moral panicks to ban semi-automatic hunting/sporting rifles (competitive shooting) despite them being used in single digit percentages of gun violence in comparison to much more dangerous weapons like small caliber/low capacity handguns.
I have a Wii U and really don't use the tablet controller because battery life is so poor. That being said, the wireless non tablet controller is one of the best feeling and nicest controllers to play on of any system and any generation. Close to the Xbox controller but without the bulk, and light years better than the PS controllers, which you practically need to develop callouses on your hands if you plan to play for a while.
Uneducated single mothers living in slums with 5+ kids should just get a better job. Advice from a white guy sitting in a suburban home in front of his expensive computer.
Two of those are likely, but the tooth fairy one actually breaks laws of physics. There is no reason to believe that multiverses can have contradictory of inconsistent physics, though the parameters of those physics may be different.
Let's be fair here. In the 1920s up through the 1950s/1960s, it was fairly common for a man to have a bitchy wife be committed to a mental hospital, and in the 1940s/1950s they were even labotomized for "anxiety and agitation".
There may have, in fact, been lower rates of psychosis in the 1920s onwards until the 1960s/1970s, but given the diagnoses at the time, it'd hard to ever be sure or be able to draw a direct comparison.
WSAD was chosen because it was easier to reach the 1 key, which is important when games started picking 1 as 'switch to primary' or 'switch to secondary' weapon.
I distinctly remember playing Tribes/Tribes 2 and having to reach over to hit 1 and it being a bit risky with either tilde/Q being in close proximity and the key being too far over for me to have an intuition about where it was. I forget what it did though, I thought it was mapped to kit for kit swap rather than to a weapon.
Last I remembered, most games don't support split screen, especially FPS games, which means if you want four players playing against each other, you need two to four consoles plus two to four TVs. Or the alternative is an entirely miserable experience with screen peeking because the other players' views are adjacent your own.
If they can deny radiocarbon dating by "debunking" carbon dating of fossils hundreds of millions of years old (jfyi, carbon dating is only used up to 60k years ago, so their argument is irrelevant), then I am quite certain they will find a way to wave away the instruments used or godditit the color patterns.
To the rest of Christianity, it is quite obvious (and has been for decades), that God is an evolutionist.

This article claims he was beaten in 71 seconds, while most sources claim 79 seconds. Who is correct and why is there a discrepancy?
