You don't need to abandon gas/other burnable fuels. An easy solution to the range problem is to outfit the vehicle with a range extender in the form of a small gasoline/diesel engine. I think 30 horsepower would do. (I'm basing that off a figure I heard years ago that cars only use 10-15 hp on the highway. 30 hp should be enough to account for losses+running accessories.) Couple that to a generator to charge the battery and run the motors/accessories, and you should have a vehicle that can have a 400+ mile range and be able to refuel at existing gas stations.
It doesn't need to be ferrous, just conductive to prevent an MRI. However that doesn't mean that he can't get an MRI. Printed composites are not terribly conductive, so that may make it possible, but I cannot know for sure without looking at the literature/testing.
Selective Laser Sintering metal printing although much stronger than typical Fused Deposition Modeling is nowhere near as strong or tough as cast and treated metal components. It has it's place and this is one, but SLS is not great everywhere.
Agreed. I work in a lab developing equipment for the calibration of sensors on earth monitoring satellites. There is active research going on even for space vehicles close to home and it is difficult to tell where else this research will be of use.
Not at my school. In my degree I take courses from multiple departments: engineering mechanics,electrical eng,mech eng, physics, computer science,writing courses, and a few liberal electives(I took two american history courses and first semester german) There were no classes, that I took at least, that didn't allow reasonable amounts of questioning, unless a student was just being ridiculous.
How can you say it is "core component" if it is purely optional?
There are studios that will not sell their games without a DRM system. This means that the fault lies in the hands of the studios demanding DRM and the consumers purchasing drm laden games. If you want to fault Steam for something fault them for not being upfront with the consumer with which games have DRM.
The games have DRM if the studio decides they want it. Games like Kerbal Space Program do not have drm and can be copied and played on other computers.
You could build and launch communication satellites for Earth from the Moon's surface. You could potentially gain enough money from that activity to buy essentials and potentially luxuries to be shipped from Earth. The Moon could potentially become the spaceport for the entire solar system.It is perfect. You have low launch costs if materials are sourced from the Moon It could get even lower if you use a lunar space elevator or a railgun. A lunar space elevator could be built with kevlar, unlike one from Earth. It's close enough to the rest of humanity so that you don't have the problem with communication lag, and plenty of raw materials are tied up in the regolith. Also there's plenty of radiation shielding available, as long as you don't mind living underground.
If it is indeed well proven he/she should have done preliminary literature review that should have caught it, if they didn't catch it then its crappy science on their part. That being said, maybe they researched a not so well understood mechanism related to it.
My bank sent me a replacement debit card in the mail without charge and without even asking. I just got a letter apologizing saying that my card may have been compromised, so they sent me a replacement the same way they would have if my card had expired, so no charge and a new card with a new number.
The only difference between physics and religion though is the fact that the 'temple' built to it is there to test to see if predictions made by the standard model are in fact correct, or if the theory needs revision. You will not see anything along those lines in a religion.
There are more effiecient ways to heat a space. Most power is produced through coal or other fossil fuels and although the electric builb at your end may be 95 percent efficient at producing heat, using natural gas to heat a house would be cheaper and more efficient in the end because of the lack of losses due to transmission.
I might consider getting one of these things if someone can get a linux distribution running on it. It would be kinda neat. Hook up an external hardrive through one of the usb ports and use it as a dvr or something. You'd need to hook up some sort of video in for dvr use though.
what about people who live in the middle of nowhere? like me. Although it would be sweet to have passenger rail even at normal speed in the city i'm 7 mi away from. Theres nothing to do there but there is a larger city one hour away and we have a freight line that goes striaght through both of them.
I live in "Small Town America" (TM) and anyway no corporate workers here, but a lot of the field workers go to the bar for lunch and some (mostly the ones who oversee the workers) will have a beer with lunch. That being said. They'll go to the bar later that Friday night and get piss ass drunk.
I don't know about that, but really this would have been no big deal if MS would have shot the proposal down in the planning stages. If they really didn't want it what took so long?
I remember my flash drive a cheap 2gb pny. It survived hard smacks against walls. (The plastic casing broke, so I wrapped it in duct tape) It went through the washing machine and dryer multiple times. It never broke. I lent it to my sister and she lost it. Now I just use sd cards. there are readers on almost every new computer now so most of the computers in my school and my laptop have sd card readers. The plus side o using an sd card is that you can stick it somewhere in you wallet.
but, if anybody is using ubuntu or any other distribution of linux, then even if they don't know a lot about coding (like me) they still know how to use a computer well and how to research for solutions to the problems you encounter.
I know that diplomats cannot accept gifts from the leaders of other nations, but what about the president. All the other gifts given to federal officials are turned over to the government. This includes diamonds and gold given to diplomats from middle eastern oil states.
There is one problem with vista though. On my brother's machine It only uses half the ram, but it has the swap file full and is swapping in and out like crazy. Any suggestions as to what the hell is wrong?

I don't believe we know enough about drugs lke lsd for them to be used in the public like that.

aren't those sailing ships faster than what the container ships are running at now?

Hey If, your usig ubuntu just cahnge the sound preferences to make sure everything's using alsa.

yeah I agree with you, but the problem is that that is not the way it will be taught.
