If your attempt at humor has failed, it is your failure, not mine. Effective humor is surprisingly difficult to achieve. BTW the first microscope lens was round, not lentil-shaped:p
Something that the article left out and I think is an interesting applcication is that it would work well with UV and X-ray sources. It is difficult to make optics that don't block these short wavelengths.
It was not meant to be funny! This is the dumbing down of our society and it sucks!
If you use actual units of measure: 1) Scientifically minded people will know what you're talking about 2) Young inquiring minds will expand their knowledge of a measuring unit 3) People that don't care enough to find out about measuring units won't care about your article either
If you make up some stupid unit: 1) You annoy scientifically minded people 2) Young minds don't learn anything about measuring units 3) They still don't care!
Actually I don't think the military cares about using this gun for crowd control. It has been pursing caseless ammunition for years because of cost and logistical advantages. I think the 'variable force' is just icing on the cake.
If this was true AMD would still be making money, but the fact is they have to discount their middle range parts below cost to stay competative with Intel.
It does matter, because shoehorning people into college who don't really belong there raises the cost for everyone. It creates a false 'scarcity' of educational spots.
Where did you learn chemistry?? It takes energy do all the things you mentioned, there is no free lunch. Heat of combustion of Cellulose is 4Kcal per gram, fat is 9Kcal per gram. There is less energy in cellulose, period. Even supposing you had a majic wand to convert it to oil without losses, the best you could do would be ~45%.

This is like saying that the 'Theory of Relativity' superseded the 'Newtonian Dogma'
how long do fuel cells last and how much do they cost?
I believe that batteries are the more mature/feasible of the two
How long did it take bell labs to bring fiber optic telecommunications? Decades, and billions of dollars.
I don't know about google love fest but as long as they have the best search engine I will use them.

Don't be a dweeb.
A lens is an optical device with perfect or approximate axial symmetry which transmits and refracts light, converging or diverging the beam.

lens means 'bends light'
There is no light bending going on here. You could use x-rays with this new technique without any difficulty.

How many Washington quarter noses will fit in a Library of Congress?
Could they have just used millimeters?
It's easier than that, they burn the food in an oxygen bomb and measure the temperature differental.
OMG! You think the company missed this little detail in their plans?
Someobody that is going to buy this isn't to buy it in place of a cessna.... it's an expensive toy, albit a very expensive one.
Somehow the earth survived MT atmospheric detonations in the past. Why would radiactive asteroid fragments be any worse?

You think if cement manufacturers thought this was economically feasable they wouldn't be doing this?
The OP is correct.
AMD has always been in a bad credit position, and if you have been watching the financial news lately banks are pulling back on investment.
There is a very real possibility that AMD could go out of business now.
If this was true AMD would still be making money, but the fact is they have to discount their middle range parts below cost to stay competative with Intel.
Right now AMD cannot compete with Intel.

Ever heard of a rough approximation? Your just wrong. And stupid.
Last time I checked Chemistry in the US was a declining field. Maybe women just have more sense then men do.
volume sellers don't cost them any less per transaction than the average joe.
Why the need for a volume discount?
The problem is with the array of fees involved it's just cheaper/easier to dump it on craigslist.
Last time I checked these were the Freshmen text on the subject at Caltech
