There are certain meteorites that display this pattern, called a Widmanstätten pattern. These are metallic meteorites, nickel-iron variety. You are wrong to assume that any random meteorite will have this pattern. The fact of the matter is, people find a lot of these because they are easy to locate with a metal detector - not because they are particularly common.
Of course. Unless you have some magical way of getting those images to us or us to the black hole faster than the speed of light, for all intents and purposes it is 30 years old, as viewed from our frame of reference.
In the middle of the ocean, a tsunami would barely be felt or noticed.
I'd be more interested how they intend to deal with extremists flying an A380 into the 1km high tower, and what the impact of said tower collapsing onto the lily pad would be.
Who wants to wear some clunky glasses while they watch a movie? Who wants to purchase a pair for every member of their family? Who wants to walk into a room where someone is watching 3DTV with their glasses on and not be able to look over without seeing garbled pictures on the TV? Who wants to replace the $2,000 TV they purchased a two years ago?
Seriously, the only reason I would jump on the bandwagon would be for video games. I think they should be pushing that market more.
(or porn, of course...)
I have a Garmin Nuvi GPS that does something similar for theft deterrence. If you enable locking on the unit, you must either input a 4 digit PIN code, or the unit must be in a pre-programmed 'Home' location when it is powered on for it to function.
The evolution of life on earth is fairly well documented.
I could believe that life could spread amongst planets within our solar system, however unless the bacteria have evolved warp drive there really is no realistic way it could spread to other star systems.
While I tend to agree with your position, there are many who would want to know, particularly if there is a family history of this disease. It might affect your planning for the future, and even the way you live your life today.
Yes. Not because it's inherently better (it's not), but because it's what students can expect to be exposed to for the rest of their lives/careers. So they might as well become used to it.
I'm not arguing that Wall Street salaries are reasonable, far from it, but the comparison is not so simple. The reason the programmers make what they make is based on a value comparison of their skills and knowledge with others in their field, and what it might cost to retain (or replace with someone possessing similar abilitites) were they to walk. The reason Wall Street traders make what they make is based on a different skill set (and probably connections, too) and is probably more closely tied more directly to the amount of profit they can generate. The fact they are using a tool created by somebody else is not a huge factor. If the programmers are truly behind the *design* of the algorithms rather than just the coding/implementation, then they definitely should share heavily in the profits. But I suspect it's not so simple as mashing a button and sitting back and watching the profit counter start incrementing. The people who make footballs for the NFL probably make $40,000 a year. The players who use them make millions.
Red giant stars would have a much larger radius. The radius of R136a1 is estimated at something like 30 times that of the sun. It is thought that our own sun, when reaching the end of its lifetime, may expand past the orbit of the earth, or 93,000,000/432,000: about 215 times it's original radius.

The next time Windows crashes on me, I will demonstrate another foot-based input method, until nothing is left but bits and pieces.
It's pretty hard to issue a patch for a hardware flaw.
TFA mentions that there is a new game being released on 11/21, Donkey Kong Country Returns.

By doing such things as telling me to get off a highway by crossing the meridian, and exiting on the onramp for the opposite direction.
Are you sure that it's just poor directions? Have you done anything to piss off Google lately?
I don't know... but perhaps for similar reasons that big oil companies are investing so much money into the 'green' alternative fuel space.
Well, he says in the video he's built a time machine. Can't he just send back a few shortwave radios?

Well, I googled it, and - whoops! NSFW! NSFW!!!

It would just get filibustered. A simple majority doesn't seem to cut it anymore.

It could be worse. My last name could be Felch.
No, that is just the result. Oh, you want to know what the equations were? That's another question.
Posting to remove an accidental mod.
They know if you plan to steal them and pre-dial the police.

But it sure seems like a tsunami would take it out.
How big is this thing?

Isn't part of zero still zero?
