The Q on fusors is lower than 1e-6. More like 1e-12 or even 1e-15. A Q of.1 would produce about 5e10 neutrons per second. They typically run at at kilowatt levels which would imply a neutrons level of 5e13 per sec. They currently produce about 1e8 or less neutrons per sec.
The scaling laws for a tokomak means you need to make it big with really strong magnets and a dilute plasma (low beta). Thats not cheap when its superconducting magnets the size of a house. Without 50T magnets they are always going to be massive.
I had 600 students in my 101 class. I am not customizing the exam. Also the student unions kick up stink because they assert "joe idiot rich parents" failed because he got the hardest exam of all.
As I tell my students. Its not the answer thats important. Its how you got there.
By your reasoning, If you cleaver guy works out the answers, they should be permitted to just write the answers on the board for everyone else. Do you want one of those guys (the ones copying the answers off the board) to be the doctor working on you?
Its is *their* problem when the move to *another* country. Its not the locals problem and its not the university. And yes i do live in a country where i don't speak the language. I get along fine for the most part because I know its *my* problem. The country i am in is can use their native language *all the time* for *everything* including exams and course at university. Its not my place to complain about it or to make it their problem.
a Faraday cage to keep out wifi is pretty hard. We had one build in our department some years ago. You could still make a phone call inside. Turns out that the grounding circuit (it was on the 6th floor) was the problem. It was only sovled by building it underground.
Yes they do. In NZ we have a lot of Asian students. Its just not wrong in their culture if you don't get caught. I was offered 5000NZD to take someone elses exam, they already had forged id's. There was nothing wrong with the teaching.
You can't keep blaming the teacher for everything.
The photosynthetic process is not bad (sure its not a triple junction cell or anything). However the total efficiency of a crop is quite poor. A lot of that energy is used just to keep the crop alive.
Motel salt reactors have most of there advantages even when burning Uranium too by the way. Also they can be load following etc in theory at least. Also they don't really burn Th. Th is transmutated to U233 in a similar way that U238 is transmutated to Pt239.
If we commit to nuclear there are many options, we need to start the R&D now.
We are so far way from that limit that its staggering. Right now we are at millions to billions of times more energy coming out of a well, a mine or oil sands than it takes to get it.
Burn coal --add that energy to more coal. Bobs your uncle. Really. There is a *lot* of coal, shale sand oil etc around the world. It is a viable alternative to just oil thought these kinds of processes, and its not that much more expensive. However long term (100+ years) is that what we should really be burring?
You mean because the world economy is bigger now than ever before? This peek oil, omg the sky is falling was going to happen before 2000 back in the 80s. This type of prediction has all the accuracy of a 2012er, with the regularity of Jehovah Witness.
This is BS. Because if i also put in R&D dollars and my own blood and sweet and come up with the same or similar solution, i can't benefit from my hard work because someone else also thought of it and paid lawyers.
If it was about rewarding hard work, or R&D then independent discovery would be a valid defense. Its not.
If fraud is involved (criminal law and that does require a judge etc --the bank does not make the judgment) the bank does not get to keep the money. Paypal is *not* a bank.
We all used full encryption with software written by someone not in the US. Not only was the US anal with crytpo exports, but a lot of public key algos are patented (what that you say about patenting math). However these patents were/are US only.
It was pretty funny really. We had 128bit everything in one company, except when connecting to the US offices.
The point is that a lot of banks *are* doing this right now. All my banks do (2 EU countries and 1 abroad) as GP descried and more, and I have over minimum balances in each, so I pay *zero* fees. Most people here do not use paypal for ebay, they use direct transfer.
One is born every minute. Just look at the above comments... "they took my money but I still use them"... etc. I don't anymore and never will again. Ever. Period.
If paypal is the only payment option, then you have no payment options as far as I am concerned. There are a few OSS projects where i will donate too as soon as there is a paypal free way to do it.
The train driver is basically the best visual identification system we have. They can pick up something on the tracks or not more relablity than a machine..... for now.

The science is pretty well settled..
If thats the case, then why do we need to spend money on climate change research grants?
With no real published data, and body of *experimental* and theoretical evidence that say it won't..... I wouldn't hold your breath.

You don't really "invent" something either, you merely discover a way to do something.

So, what's the up side?
That you triumph against communism perhaps? Or was it to spreed freedom?

don't forget the other 100k programmers with indie titles that didn't make it....
The money is *not* "seized" by a real bank if they "decide" there is "fraud". Law enforcement is involved.

Had there been only one crew, then it would have been interesting. They have autolanding and autobraking systems. Would you bet your life on them?
You already are, whether you like it or not.
