My bank has more secure 2 factor authorization than Gmail. I stick my card in this little device called a "Random Reader". I enter my PIN on that device. Then I get a code that I have to enter together with my bank account number and my card number (both printed on the card). Then I get access to viewing my account and preparing payment orders. To send the payment orders I have to sign them. To do this I need to enter my PIN again (on the random reader), enter a code from the bank website, enter the total amount and (if it includes a large payment to an unusual account I also need to enter that account number). Only then the payment orders are processed. Since the random readers are available for free at any branch of my bank it's easy to have a few laying around. The random reader is not personal so I can easily borrow one from my parents or friends in a pinch when I am there (assuming they have the same bank).
It's mostly about energy in vs energy out. Running 100 km at 6.5 km/h with 91 kg of body weight costs approximately 6,500 Kcal according to this random webpage I found. Including normal daily needs you'd need 8700 Kcal for such a day (for scale: this is almost 12 Mc Donalds double Quarter Pounders)
Thus it really depends on the salad. A salad made of 2000g of eruca sativa, 2000 gr of a mix of different lettuce types, 500 gr blue cheese, 500 gr of penne rigate, a couple of table spoons of honey and 600 ml of real mayo (not the light stuff) (add a good scoop of mustard and a table spoon of dill because that'll make it taste awesome) will give sufficient calories if my calculations are correct.
I'm hungry now.
OK. Much of the calories are not from the lettuce or the Sativa (that is only about 500 Kcal combined) but a good salad should be more than greens.
A 100 gram salad without dressing (because that contains evil fat) is not the right choice in that case. It will leave you with a lack of 8700-22 (the salad)= 8,678 Kcal short (assuming you don't eat anything else). That kind of short will land you in the coffin real quick.
Note, this is not a complete food advice. I am not a licensed professional. I just like food and doing sports. Paraphrased from Randall Munroe: I am a guy who comments on the internet. I like when things catch fire and explode, which means I do not have your best interests in mind.
It is possible to work under a nitrogen or argon cover gas. That won't change the manufacturing process all that much.
Transport of the wafers from one point to the other is the biggest issue. However, if the wafer trays are redesigned to prevent leaks then this isn't an issue. I expect that manual wafer handling is not done in most modern fabs so a nitrogen or argon cover gas won't change much in the movement to and from the trays. Racks with wafer trays may need a nitrogen downflow instead of the cleanroom air downflow they have now. This will require some rather large changes but nothing a bleeding edge CPU fab isn't used to. Much of the manufacturing machines will have to be replaced or modified anyway for graphene, just like with an Intel "Tick" (increasing the density).
The next generation of ASML wafer steppers (NXE) will have no internal oxidation issues. They work in vacuum because the extreme UV won't go through air anyway.
After the wafer steppers there is cutting, diebonding, wirebonding and packaging. I assume these are all possible under cover gas, including the transport between the machines. In fact, the die- and wirebonding on discrete transistors is already done under a nitrogen cover gas. The copper coated leadframe wouldn't survive the 310 C bonding temperature if it had oxygen available. I assume that CPU wirebonding has similar requirements. You need the same type of gold wire bonded to the same type of silicon surface so the same temperatures will be required. (I have seen a few wirebonding machines operarte without nitrogen flow. The copper coated leadframe turns black in seconds and the wires will not bond anymore and you have to re-insert the 23 mu wire by hand.)
In short: oxidation seems a solvable problem, form an armchair engineer's perspective.
Silicon and silicene are about as different as coal and diamond. Much of the experience with silicon is as applicable to selicene as it is to graphene.
Can the Roche limit of a planet be so big? I would expect this to coalesce into moons quite fast. Or it might be a small black hole. They have quite big Roche limits.
The foam is used to end the fires. The smoke from the fires is highly carciogenic (most smoke is). Ergo, if the fluor compound is only lightly carciogenic (and biodegradable) there is a net win.
You also have to remove the SO2, the HCl and the HF. Honestly, the tidal locking is not a major problem, it just limits the size of the possible habitable range. The atmosphere is the main problem.
In that case we're already dead because there is many times that in the atmosphere due to coal plants. I never knew I was dead. Didn't expect the afterlife to exist, much less to look like this.
That's only relevant if you use the fossil fuels to make electricity. If you use the fossil fuels to power your car biofuels get far more interesting.
In the end we will have a mix. A combination of solar panels/solar towers, wind farms and biofuels has my vote but it will always be a mix of different sources.

TL;DR version: Replacing disks sucks some times. Sticking in additional spares means you don't have to replace them. They calculated an efficient RAID solution that means you don't need as many spares.
Not quite. The magstripe swiping systems are so easy these days any idiot can do it. I believe it usually was a large gang with one tech savvy member and dozens of swipers. The swipers would send the data to their accomplices, who'd drain your bank account before you'd even get home.
The set consists of a magstripe swiper, a hidden camera (for example inside a folder holder) and a laptop. If these are preconnected the criminal can just plop in the swiper, place the hidden camera (stick the folder holder in the right place) and have correlated magstripe data and PIN. That data is emailed to the boss.
Hardly. It's easier to install a wireless magstripe reader over the card insertion slot so each card that goes through gets its data stolen. We, in the Netherlands, only had an upswing after pinning from suspicious countries was blocked by default (a phone call sufficed to unblock it). I believer the main culprit was an eastern European country, but I can't remember which one.
It's only when you block the easy methods that explosions are used.
Here in the Netherlands a complete system for magstripe debit and credit card reading was in place. It worked for years. However, with the upswing in magstripe data thefts the banks have switched to chip. Next step is to disable magstripe payments by default unless the customer requests it.

A railgun creates an EMP every time it is fired. Everything on that ship is EMP hardened anyway.

Nah, for separate pieces you use BrickLink. Often far cheaper than the Lego website.

If you're willing to pay for it the Magratheans will probably build it for you.

That's why the cloud sync should be instantaneous.
Sorry, I misread fusion as fossil.
Isn't water kinda expensive in deserts?
According to wikipedia:
Composition
80 ± 3.2% hydrogen (H2)
19 ± 3.2% helium (He)
1.5 ± 0.5% methane (CH4)
~0.019% hydrogen deuteride (HD)
~0.00015% ethane (C2H6)
Ices:
ammonia (NH3)
water (H2O)
ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH)
methane ice (?) (CH4â5.75H2O)
So yes, there is a lot of hydrogen. However, to burn hydrogen you need oxygen. Where are you going to get that amount of oxygen?
You also have to remove the SO2, the HCl and the HF.

The Mosquitos aren't radioactive.
But they are! Ordinary background radiation, mostly caused by the sodium in their blood.
