Reminds me of an excellent game for the Apple IIe, A Mind Forever Voyaging. You played a character in a city simulation to determine long-term ramifications for political decisions. Very thought provoking for an 8th-grade student.
I meant to say... we went from creating nanotubes atoms in length to 4cm... isn't our technological capabilities to create nanotubes increasing at a non-linear rate?
How do you explaine the generated Helium that some researchers have produced? There's no chemical reaction that I'm aware of that can raise helium ratios in a sealed environment.
Oh, they were aware. That's why they did a press release instead of a peer-reviewed paper. They didn't want to tell everyone the secret ingredient, so that they could make money off of it. And when their peers lambasted them, they decided to take their pellets and go home.
It gets better. Pons et al had figured out a way to make a denser pellet, and had a trade secret worked out with a palladium supplier that provided their samples. They were trying to make money off their discoveries, and in so doing, didn't disseminate their trade secrets. Of course, when the hot-fusion-funded universities tried to reproduce expirements based on photographs and interviews, they failed and cried FRAUD! The media, feeling they had been suckered, promptly turned and smeared Pons-Fleischmann.
Of course, if I remember correctly, Pons-Fleischmann didn't help things by exaggurating their claims and having inaccurate graphs.
Can't find the link just yet where I read that tidbit. Here's a good one, though, at wired. Just how do you explain an excess of Helium with anything but nuclear processes?
Years ago, I scanned for local open ports on my network segment (I was trialing a microwave "broadband" system in AZ). Finding a few, I came across a password-protected share named "C" with the description "John's Drive". The password was, of course, "John". (duh?)
I printed a sheet of paper on his (also shared) printer saying "Just an FYI: You really need to pick a better password for your shared drive."
I read an article recently about how the latest genetic tweaks were so hard for the Olympic committee to find... they're getting concerned that they will not be able to stop the latest enhancement craze.
Maybe it's not so far off... (though you would think if they were engineered, that the designers would slip in a few identifying sequences).

This guy might have lived.
The company that created the tech to capture that video has a few more (non-graphic). Click Rear to change to the internal camera.
Well, that's how long it takes to watch it through dialup...
I thought the answers to #11 provided the most insight into each campaign.
He finally ticked off Pikachu, eh?
But it does need some
tags...
I can say, with the risk of losing my job...
In all seriousness, why could you loose your job if this statement is widely accepted? If you meant to say "with no risk," why post anonymously?
Buy the gas your car is rated for. Look in your owners manuals. My needs 87, and it'll cause problems if I use a higher octane.

Yes, they are looking into it.
The use of Fluorescently labeled nanoparticles to determine the effect of particle size on translocation from the lung
NanoParticles Shown to Cause Brain Damage
etc. etc. etc.
Isn't the rate of growth geometric, rather than linear?
There exists a service that provides searchable TV shows... based on closed caption information.
Well duh.... of course the Universe isn't like that-- The superbeings haven't built the time machine yet! That's in the future.

You must not live in Seattle.
You're in America, aren't you?
Reading the signals from the brain is a lot different from placing signals back into the brain.
Wait... so you need a permit to carry a concealed weapon... but you can be arrested for carrying a weapon in the open?
Unfortunately, I've seen it confirmed that the difficulty reverts also on zone changes... not just saves.
