True. The Boeing 747 is equipped with double-stream jet engines. You can tell by the huge fan on the front (the "cold" fan) and the real gas turbine sticking out the back.
The concorde was not built primarily for its speed (that was a nice extra), but for fuel economy. Single-stream jet engines are better in terms of fuel economy when they fly faster. The drag rise counters this, but for the concorde they had the drag rise restriced to an acceptable minimum.
The invention of the double-stream jet engines made that need for speed obsolete.
Yes, the concorde existed, but was soon outdated because of the use of newer, better jet engines.
On the contrary. Making these drugs illegal helps the criminals. If you could buy these drugs in the supermarket (like that other drug, alcohol), no criminal would be interested.
Indeed. That is why I am interested in different schools of thought in mathematics. For example, the ancient Greeks were builders rather than mathematicians, and therefore solved different problems or similar problems in another way. I would not know how to prove Pythagoras' theorem without the Greek school of thought. On the other hand, the Arabic school of thought brought us abstract thinking. It took aerodynamics to add boundary layer theory to computational mathematics.
The most interesting thing can occur when those schools of thought are mixed. Hodographic transformation as used in aerodynamics is very similar to a Burrows-Wheeler transform in computer science, but the application is totally different. Who knows what other differential equations solving techniques could yield better data compression, for example?
Worse. When technology is outlawed, only outlaws will have technology. It will probably be illegal to develop an injection rifle for a wildlife doctor as well.
And so was bombing Iraq. While I don't agree with the terrorists, I can understand that they return the "favour" that has been done to them (one of the terrorists apparently came from Iraq). I mean, the main difference between "shock and awe" and "terrorism" is "us" and "them". I just don't understand why they do this to France.
Yes, only it is illegal to even discover the backdoors. This is great for security firms. Those firms are off course not notified of the backdoors, but it will be illegal to report those malicious pieces of code. Unless they are programmed by a non-government criminal, in which case it is their job to disclose them. Nice!
And faster. A hovercraft used to be one of the fastest means of transport over water. The hovercraft I know (the one across the channel) is effectively replaced by a large catamaran. This catamaran is much faster than the regular ferry and can transport more cargo than the hovercraft.
So, if you are a terrorist or a paedophile, join the police. That is the only safe place for you. As a plus, you get enterprise grade access to other terrorists and paedophiles.
Well, one of the reasons that these devices are connected is to harvest data. That is why they are open to the net in the first place, and that is the major security problem. If such a device only accepts traffic from the local network with decent encryption, it creates too little data to even get noticed. But if it blabs to the outside world all the time, it is literally begging to be used as an infiltration vector.
It is not the amount of choice that is freaking us out, it is the amount of effort to get to know what the choice actually is and how to get it. Especially due to capitalism, full products are deliberately crippled to plunder the customers. Nowadays, you can have a full-time job managing a company's software licenses. And the bigger the manufacturer, the less sense the license model has.
But a flush toilet is still quite disruptive. It causes a lot of pollution, and breaks the circle of agriculture (the manure is used to pollute the seas instead of to feed the new crops). A decent compost toilet kills diseases and yields food for the new crops.
Somehow, I cannot get Inspector Gadget from my mind. In a first test run, don't forget to send the project leader a note reading "this message will self-destruct".
Sorry? Isn't that what is happening in the USA? As I recall, cannabis is finally legal in some states. If you can choose between tolerated outlaws at least abiding some common sense and working with the police, or downright gansters being pushed into heavier and heavier organised crimes, I choose the dialog option.

"in accordance with all appropriate federal and state judicial procedures."
In other words, "as they damn well please".

Yes, but you would still have to come up with a method for people to move large packages around if you eliminated all the cars.
Given that wikipedia shows a London-specific freight tricycle, that should not be much of a problem.
Nope. The sweet spot for bicycles.

I think they spend that much time on their job security.

It is just you. All American property bills, like intellectual property bills, make as much sense.
Or on politician's mail servers
The scientists are probably as real as the money is.

I hear the 90s calling. They want their dot-com bubble back.

Yes we can. But we can absolutely trust humans to screw it up. Like we did with those africanised bees.
It seems that some academics want to be more free than others.
He's not American. He hasn't got the right to bear arms.
