He could use the gun to get a TV at a bricks and mortar show. When I showed my gun to the bricks and mortar shop here (I am very proud of it) they were so awed they gave me a 100" plasma for free!
Is that a 747 filled in the traditional way? Dead bodies can be stacked far more densely than living humans are usually stacked. Does it include the cargo hold?
I find killing a dozen people with tools made by others not impressive. And stupid, antisocial and crazy to boot. If he had made the weapon himself or used his bare hands then I would have found it impressive, but still stupid, antisocial and crazy. What he did didn't really involve skill, just a lack of a skill (empathy). Therefore it doesn't qualify for impressive in my book.
Speed improvements of BSD and Linux machines is more usefull. Most users use an Windows machine as their PC, but the servers they interact with usually aren't windows machines. Speeding those servers up means there are less of them needed and thus it saves cost. A home PC on the other hand is usually idle.
Sata 2 spec is cool with that. It allows for port multipliers(Warning, I do not know that brand. It may be crap, it may be gold. It's just the first thing I found). However: during the 10 sec Google quest I found some chipsets have trouble with it. Intel was quoted as having trouble with it.
There is some logic to it: what is healthy to eat is closely connected to your activities and your environment (in -30C / 0F the same activity requires more energy than in a 18C conditioned home). So it may be so that the caveman diet is only healthy if you live as a caveman. Warning: I have done nor read any research on the topic. I am no expert in the field.
That post was clearly spam. If you opened the link it you may very well be part of the reason spam works. I say goatse spam is a good way of conditioning people to recognize spam and not click on spam links.
Don't dump it at all. 1. Spend money to build fast breeder reactors to use the waste (and make electricity). 2. Develop "waste burning" reactors until you get to a waste that is stable or has an extremely long halflife (double the halflife = half the radiation, isotopes with 1,000,000 year halflifes don't radiate more than the background). 3.Then use the new element in production of something useful if you can or mix it with the earth (if the element isn't toxic, if it is: react it to something non-toxic first). 4.... 5. Profit!
That's a bad analogy: IF things are done correctly, the lifetime extension will only be granted with a decent engineering review and report. They'd have to look for trouble like the corrosion in the article with robots. In your analogy this'd be like "I have ran for 40 feet along a pier, the next 60 feet seem sturdy enough so I give the clear for running 40 feet" And of course the report will have to be open. No hiding, hiding has been proven not to work.
Sadly politics and other lies usually play a greater role than openness and the truth in these kind of cases.
Glass already blocks out most of the IR. The plants don't seem to have any trouble with that. In fact that is one of the ways a greenhouse works. Light enters through the glass, hits the ground (covered with black plastic or dark earth) is converted to IR and radiates out from there. Some of it will hit the plants, some of it will miss and hit the glass. The glass reflects most of it back again. Some of that reflected IR will hit the plants, some will hit the plastic/earth and warm it, and so on.
This way the temperature in the greenhouse can be controlled to a greater extent: In the middle of the summer the floor is covered with white plastic, which reflects the light back out. (minor variations are done with the windows, as opening and closing them can be done automatically).
if you could work out the whole 'light uses AC, generator makes DC' issue while maintaining the cost advantage.
Incandescents work perfectly on DC. You other argument was important though.
Nice thought, but I just don't see that working. I like incandescent too because they are instant on, (I have yet to find a fluorescent that actually works like this)
fluorescents are slow, true. Try Leds for the instant-on places (like the bathroom, it's hard to aim in the dark), if your house wiring is good enough. Do you really need instant on in the living room? That blinding brightnes at the moment you flip the switch? I'd hate it. I love my slow dimmable fluorescents for those applications.
works in all temperatures (from -40 in winter for outside lights, fluorescent come on VERY slow in winter)
There are low temp fluorescents. They still contain a significant amount of mercury (normal fluorescents don't. The 1 milligram they have is neglectable). LEDs might help there to.
into ovens (plastic casing on fluorescents and LEDs would melt),
True. That's the only place I still have an incandescent light.
and do not have directionality (the LEDs I got did not shine peripherally, we had to put a CFL in the LED chandler for the kitchen or else the corners were dark).
Do you really need one type of bulb in all cases? If the power in your house is any kind of decent then these bulbs will last 5 times what the incandescents did. This means you don't have to have as many spares. If one breaks, insert the spare of that type that you do have (regardless of light output) and get a new one the next time you are at the shop. This'll happen once a year or so (if your power is decent) so the few days of to much or to little light in that one corner is no problem IMHO.
Simple: make the high-security cuffs with a bar inbetween. This bar should keep the hands far enough apart that the bad guy can't reach the locks, wich are in the middle of the bar. Then the guy needs to be flexible in order to get the locks in front of him so he can open it with the key in between his teeth. If the cops didn't notice he was doing that they don't deserve the job.
Humans in cars is better than no cars, but this is about robocars, which would be better at driving than humans. I, for one, welcome robocars. The classical soccermom who has dropped her cell phone (which she shouldn't be using anyways) and is searching for it should be enough of a reason to ban humans from driving eventually (10 years after robocars became better than the average driver). The humans who really wish to drive on their own can do so on racetracks IMHO.
No, it's the unthinkable. We do not think of it, let alone speak of it. It has no name, because it can not exist. Growth will be eternal, there is no other way it can be.
You want it concentrated. That way you can get to it once the Chinese have build breeder reactors and need the old "waste" to fuel their reactors. This disk should just be a back up plan.
It will probably not last that long because the Chinese will buy it within 30 years because they'll need it to fuel their breeder reactors. Nevertheless this is a decent back-up plan.

Hmm, isn't Chtulu sleeping at the bottom of the ocean?
I have a feeling that is a lie. Most cups don't get reused. I don't believe many would fill a Starbucks cup at McD.

Fluorescents can help you there. They shine all around. Leds are getting there, but I don't know if they are (haven't had to replace one in a while. Philips has LED candle shaped ones. I'd advise those in a chandelier.

If you don't stop at the black people but kill all humans then crime would be solved.
Go with a liquid hydrogen atmosphere and ditch the heatsink entirely. Just don't get the pressure so high the hydrogen goes metallic.

I am sorry. You are right.
