Note that an square of 400 x 400 km equals 160,000 km, not 400 km.
The amount of materials needed to cover such a square with a solar plant probably exceeds the world's production capacity for iron, aluminium etc in a calendar year (I made some rough numbers some years ago). That is without counting the energy needed to build such a plant...
If my numbers are right, 2843 MPG is 1208.7 km/liter. Last year, a French team had 3039 km/l, but if memory serves, 3 years ago there was a Japanese team with more than that (3836 km/l, or 9023 MPG). These guys would have made 14th in Europe. And this is news?
We had the same kind of misinformation 2 years ago.
The photos that this guy manages to take are stunning! He gives full details about the process and equipment. The web is in Spanish, I hope it won't be a problem.
Well, I'm a Spaniard and I do use cajón for big box. My little cousin has a cajón where she puts all her toys (it's not a drawer). She also plays on the cajón de arena (a big box filled with sand).
If it's on the RAE dictionary, it's likely that somebody would use it. Go figure.
Seriously: they have a waiting list to get in. How slick is that? You've got countries falling over themselves, remaking themselves in your image, in order to be part of your empire. Not too shabby. Yet nobody forces them. All that EU says is: these are the rules of the club, you want to get in? Follow them.
I, for one, expect that Turkey won't join the EU in a long time. At least, enough to improve MUCH socially, economically, human-rights wise.
Anybody heard of Cyprus (a member of the EU) or Greece and the conflicts they have with Turkey? Turkey doesn't even recognise Cyprus as an independent state!
As much as I personally enjoy going out with my turk friends, their political class scares me, and some turks I've talked with agreed (of course some didn't).
Wrong. The force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, so the scalar product Fv=0 and no power is needed to keep the load on track. The only work needed is to accelerate the load: E=mv^2/2.
My university took part this year with very limited money, only undergraduate students working on the project and they achieved around 1200 MPG. Minimum speed for the competition is set at 30 Km/h. The external design is very similar to the one depicted.
Not that impressive. In the european competition they would have finished at the 20+ position.
I can't remember it well, but 2 months ago I read in a spanish newspaper that a group of some spanish university had developed a car that worked with liquid air (why only nitrogen? it's easier with air).
Slashdot Mirror
SuperMongo (SM) has been doing something similar for many years, check their website.
It "just" embeds a tiff file. Maybe your browser is fooling you.
Touché. ;)
160,000 km -> 160,000 km^2 (seems slashdot doesn't like superscript, ASCII code 253)

Actually he considered the first 1 million primes, not the primes until 1 million, I would say that is unbiased, but I might well be wrong.
Because with different architectures you need different OS and apps?
Am I the only one to have read Lemming instead of Leming. I guess the suicidal traits were already obvious to his parents when they chose the name.
I'm just hoping for a cool videogame!

Isn't that like a century plant?
It's fairly common here (south of Spain), I have one in my garden!!
Here?

Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics. The best math book for school children. Really got me into the subject.

which are most, if not all the phones in market nowadays here. No need for an expensive gadget that doesn't even have a keyboard.

Besides, I think your math is wrong.
(7.2e6 N) * 6 (km / s) = 43.2 GW
That is GigaWatt.

Opteron has 940 pin, Athlon64 939. Hypertransport is a packet protocol, its pin count is completely unrelated ;-)
It's located in Barcelona.
Now, some crap to avoid lameness filter:
