Yep. I was thinking that the name sounded familiar--a couple of weeks ago, Nature sent out its yearly survey of Asia/Pacific research institutions that it has published papers for in one or more of their publication. CSIRO was number seven in Australia. These guys are a bona-fide major-league research organization.
Off the top of my head maybe model aircraft with telepresence would be the best mix.
Top of your head didn't read very carefully. OP specifically said autonomy was a requirement, no remote control, not only because he can't devote the time/skill to driving the thing but also because he won't have line-of-sight to it much of the time.
Yes, you got lots and lots of trouble. I'm thinking of the kids in the knickerbockers, shirt-tailed young ones, peeking in the pool hall window after school. You got trouble, folks! Right here in River City!
I beat the final boss and got 17 out 20 achievements in about 15 minutes. I wasn't going to stick around to take 5000 damage or find the two hidden achievements.
SO discovering that the Moon's and Earths isotopes match means it could NOT have formed from a splash of magma from the earth?
No, it means that it probably could not have formed from a splash of magma that came mostly from Theia, which would be the case under the Giant Impact Hypothesis.
Well, we currently only lose about 6-7% of the electric energy we generate to transmission losses.
And in order to achieve that, it's necessary to keep it quite rare for any large amount of electricity to be transmitted for long distances. With room-temperature superconductors, it's possible for electricity generated anywhere in the world to be used anywhere in the world. That's gonna make for a big change.
But, in general, I wouldn't expect anything dramatic. A lot of things would just get "a little more efficient."
You really, really don't have any idea of superconductors are capable of, do you? It's lot more than just making electricity transmission more efficient.
I will just get out my old Eastman & Laird collection and, indeed, chill. He can rest assured that I will not be stirring myself to buy tickets to his movie.
The difference is between selection by an unelected council and an open election (or caucus) in which all are free to vote. Just a minor difference, really. Scarcely worth mentioning.
I think we can agree that the only way for a building to fall straight down is if all of its support is removed simultaneously. If one section goes before another, it should topple. no?
Or if all of its support is *weakened* simultaneously. The fire had spread throughout the entirety of the floor and was weakening all of the supports at the same time.
I read it. Apparently you didn't. "The average time for the upper 18 stories to collapse, based on video evidence, was approximately 40 percent longer than the computer free fall time." After that, yes, it reached close to free-fall acceleration, because at that point the structure could no longer maintain any meaningful resistance to the massive force of the already collapsed floors smashing down on it.
I will agree with that. But a tendency is not the same as did-it-three-times-in-one-day. If all that is required to get a tall building to fall straight down is damage it and set it on fire, the demo industry should look a lot different.
The demo industry looks as it does because it has to get fall-straight-down *all the time* and not just *almost all the time*.
India was under Persian rule for a long time. Now it is no longer Persian or Muslim, but secular (Hindu majority).
Talk to some Pakistanis some time. They want it back.
Similarly, Afghanistan was taken over by Russia after a long Muslim-secular rule.
And now it's in a war to see if it'll be run by the moderate (and corrupt) Muslims or the hard-line Muslims.
Spain for a period was Islamic.
And there are Muslims who haven't forgotten that, either. al-Quaeda in particular has been vocal in calling for the reclaiming of al-Andalus. It's not happening, of course, but they still maintain the claim.
They do? Where in the Constitution must all candidates be officially approved by a panel of unelected religious overlords before they are legally allowed to run? I missed that part, somehow...

Illidan Stormrage demands that you design your nuclear reactors better!

Because 64 bits ought to be enough for anybody!
And ten years later, Best Buy is still in business but Circuit City is not...
And if you can't understand it even if you *are* a diachronous linguistics geek, it's Old English. That's simply a different language.
More to the point, when there's a mass exodus at the top level, it's not going to be long before the lower ranks start emptying out too.
If you can find them...
...who brought you the Critical Update Notification Tool!
"Accusative" always seemed too confrontational to me, though.

Did I ever tell you about bundles? Bundles *bounce*!
Meh, Oz has already had gritty remakes so many times...Wicked, Tin Man...

Yes, yes, very cynical, very hip. Not much truth to it, but hey, it reads well.
...they're going with iBoo-Boo!
