Exactly. You can't use table salt for photographic processes because the iodine poisons the emulsions. I doubt they would want iodine in something that goes into hard drive platters either!
Really this is another awful Slashdot summary. They aren't killing the rotary engine, they are stopping production of the RX8, which was a horrible let down after the Gen 3 RX7 which was arguably one of the best Japanese sports cars ever made. The RX8 was more of a sport-tourer than a sports car and made was a terrible combination of technologies- sports car enthusiasts are just more forgiving of the rotary quirks than someone buying a touring car.
It did for me as well- after 9/11 our company had a severe cash crunch, and we had to endure almost a year of no salary increases and our boss periodically holding our checks for a couple of weeks.
When things normalized a bunch of us got 20% raises.
The article barely mentioned generating electricity from graphene and what was talked about the scientists was that they had no idea if it was possible. They did seem excited about using graphene as a new type of photo-detector.
What does it mean to base political decisions on Science? Certainly economics and sociology are just as important. For instance, religion may not be considered rational by many but would it be politically viable to ignore your constituents beliefs? Rationality would dictate that it is not.
Ultimately consent of the governed trumps science.
Point taken. So to be correct we would should say that whatever the cause of the current warming it is unprecedented in the last several thousand years.
Funny how if you see a logical fallacy when you skim something you tend to ignore the rest....
Going along the same meme I think examining real imaging(with explanations) of the human body such as MRI and CAT scans would be a fascinating for any audience and a great learning tool.
Not knowing Italian, how difficult would it be to mis-interpret 'the particles tunneled from a to b' to 'the particles went through a tunnel from a to b'?
Yeah, I had the same thought. Perhaps solid stuff (the earth) displaces 'null' space (see Casimir effect) and photons would actually go through faster if they weren't being blocked by the mass. --

I think the idea of bringing PC games to a console looks like a no-brainer now. PC stuff is so much cheaper now than six years ago I think they can do a new one without taking such a large loss on the hardware.

The problem is that nobody wants to get schooled about child abuse by a convicted child abuser, even if they are right.
Table salt is inappropriate for almost all chemical processes because of additives and impurities.

Would it have killed you to call it sodium chloride in your summary and skip over the table salt thing?
Yeah, they were outlawed after they won Le Mans because they weren't spectacular.

I did a lot of dumb things when I was 23 too.
Technology will move on... if anything our current tech and business models will appear 'quaint'.
It's not a question of science but of economics.
The idea that if we don't burn a barrel of oil in the USA it will stay in the ground is ludicrous.

How about filled shrimp boats? They're pretty heavy too :-)

These observations should dispel in one fell swoop any notion that recent global warming could be natural.
So you are saying that if there was natural global warming these ice shelves wouldn't melt? That's pretty amazing!
I think that examining other advanced visualizations such as real MRI and CAT scans would be interesting to any audience as well.
There are already studies blaming near-sightedness on children not spending enough time outdoors.

Zeroing a hard drive takes a LONG time. If you have more than a handful sending them through a recycler's shredder is probably more cost effective.

That would make a heavy hat!

I guess we will see.
MS took a lot of arrows when the XBOX came out and they lost a ton of money... I think they are profitable now.
