Perhaps one day they will be able to apply this technology/technique to creating other parts of the body and rid us of the whole stem cell controversy.
Are you kidding? Those skin cells could be cloned into god fearing fetuses!
This machine is basically a non-cilyndrical Z pinch that is using a different reaction to create neutrons. And alas for this poor guy the neutrons are carrying away his energy. Just like in ITER he would have to capture energetic neutrons and use them to boil water (ok, ok run a steam turbine). Otherwise this machine is just a cool transformer.
I think you are on the right track. When the collision frequency of the gas molecules is not much larger than the frequency of the sound wave the wave can't propagate.
I have found that the best way is to put them in a group with other experienced players and have everybody exercise patience. New players catch on pretty quick, especially if the DM and other players are helping keep up with what they are doing. Also it is best if they play something that doesn't have too many book keeping issues (no wizards for noobs). I also think that it is critical for new players to have the first level experience, that way they are not burdened with a bunch of abilities they haven't "earned". Finally consider playing some one shot modules for low level characters for learning. I don't think any book can substitute for game time.
I blame the media for creating these scientific promises that we can never live up to. Science isn't a process of one great discovery that solves all the worlds problems (or all the cryptographers problems). It is a long hard grind with small rewards along the way. Just like everything else.
Now do you realize your privilege? Or do you think that these kids and teachers just chill at the ghetto starbucks and surf the ghetto-net with their ghetto ibooks?

It seemed kind of flamey to me. I'm sorry. I will keep these thoughts far from the subject line and censor myself, since I am clearly infringing on other peoples freedom. In addition I give his post credit by writing a response. I'm glad you can see how me speaking my mind leads to censorship, because I sure can't. Somewhere in your post there is an implicit contradiction. If can you find it I'll never use the word flamebait again.
Just so you know, the argument goes like this. We have been mucking with things for years but we have obeyed natural rules. That is we controll what gets bred with what, but these things still have to breed and they slowly show more of the traits we want (fatter kernels on the corn, more THC in the weed). We have created some monsters thought this, such as the english bulldog that cannot mate and must be artificially inseminated inorder to proliferate. We don't really have a decoder ring yet for the genome. For example, cloned sheep get some wierd cancer and die off prematurely. So maybe we can insert a gene into a plant that makes it fatter, but maybe it also makes the pland suck up more nutrients from the soil. And then we push it on some farmers and thier ground only can grow mutant freak plant and all thier other crops in the rotation are screwed. Also there some of us have a problem with the way monsanto does business. I'll let you look inot that one on your own. Finally the world hunger problem is about distribution and not quantity.
TI marketeers seems to think that the most appealing thing about this new calculator is that is holds phone numbers. I thinkink the TI-92 was advertised with 3d plots. Not to mention the changeable face plates . . .
The article tells us the frequency of vibration as well as the range of human hearing. NYT Science writing always uses these analogies. Would a NYT audience respond well to a headline:
pulsed YAG laser excites VHF phonons in etched Si crystal
Maybe they would if we put "nano" in the title a few more times
Those on strike are the management level people who run the oil industry, not the workers. In America isn't that called a lockout? It looks like the same thing is going on in Nigeria right now.
As for why the US says little; it seems that they have had some interest in giving Chavez problems. Hasn't Chavez been elected now twice in two or three years? Is there a more favorable to US interests, less democratic option we should be seeing?
No, the US is much more interested in promoting Democracy than securing oil interests.
Experimental setup: A C Clamp with a 3/4" bolt fitting for attatching a torque wrench is placed around the rim of the glass. One such apparatus is submerged in a sink, the other left in atmospheric conditions. A torque wrench is then used to tighten the C Clamp until the glass cracks.
Findings: The glass cracks at similar forces under the water as above the water. In fact the glass in the water was cracked with slightly less applied force. I attribute this slight difference to measurement error and sample prep error. Because the work to crack the glasses is related to the force by the constant arm lenght of my torque wrench I claim that the energy needed to crack a glass under water is not significantly or noticeably greater than a glass on the counter top. Perhaps the error in your experiment was due to your energy enjection methods and not interface properties of glass and water.

Error bars? Standard deviations? Neat device, but (as Again said) the data sets are too small to make any claims.
the phase, haha
I would be much more impressed if he had made the ipod into a geiger counter. You could listen mp3s and hear your exposure counts at the same time!

we need a new moderation +0 METAFUNNY. if a Robot could read slashdot posts and create the mean funny post this might be it.
The carne-matic will come online about the time we have working fusion power: many many years from now.
So I know that we get a nice radio signal from plasma in our ionosphere so has anyone done this for Earth's aurora? Are we just as spooky as Saturn?
In simple terms this is an "audio plot" of the radio emissions from Saturn's aurora.

They are using photons, not protons.

So yes there are hot Lara Crofts within but no video viewing from a Mac . . .

they were handed an intelligent tag the size and weight of a PDA to wear around their necks
Skip the PDA and install it straight into a cell phone.

I have a nature article that says you are wrong. Here it says the Prometheus would be the first ship with an onboard nuclear reactor.
So I guess you didn't read this did you? Or maybe you don't know what nuclear power is? Why don't you just post what you think without being a dick.

On the luminex website in the techincal info section there is a question about whether or not the fabric emits electromagnetic wave.
Answer: Absolutely Not.
Again, does the light emitting fabric emit electromagnetic waves?
I refer you to the 400 to 700 nm section of your electromagnetic spectrum.
