I thought that was the idea behind Nestle's Don Carlos V. Ten years ago I bought some in Mexico and left the bars in the car but they remained solid. Also, this chocolate is not gritty and is available in the U.S. (At least in some markets)
Yes because armed predator drones are so good at crop dusting (using sarin), search and rescue (contacts sighted, shall we light them up?), communication relays (2 confirmed kills, over), etc.
The most you can hope to get out of direct sunlight is 1.2 kw per m2, but more likely it's going to be 1 kw per m2.
The wing area is 510 square meters. Let's say that that you will cover just the wings with solar panels. Figuring 1 kw per m2, that's 510 kw, which is I'm estimating is close to 600 hp. I think you need more than 50 times that to operate a 747. Consider a DC-6 flew with nearly 10,000 hp and it's much smaller and slower than a 747.
So spewing billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere is NOT against UN regulations? That, it seems to me, is the REAL geoengineering experiment. At least the fertilization team is going to learn something that might be useful.
Another thing to consider is Linux, traditionally, has supported multiple simultaneous users so that it might be feasible to put several students on one Raspberry pi but you'd need to use a USB expander to enable several keyboards to be plugged into one computer at once.
You should consider shopping around because for the bare panels you can easily find 300 watt panels for $400 in the U.S. And if you estimate the installation and other goodies, let's say that doubles the cost, you are still talking about $5000 installed.
Yep, totally agree. the scotch tape superconductivity is helping superconductivity work at 80 Kelvin. The Carbon soaked in water, then dried is superconducting at 300 fucking kelvin. No scotch tape required! The cool thing about this is, if true, you could verify it in your kitchen.
I disagree. The Mosquito was one of the best twin engine planes made during WWII. It was made almost entirely of wood. Wood is subject to rot, insects and other problems but for it's purpose it was the best material for the job: Non-strategic, easy to work with--they had cabinet makers making the aircraft. Sure, you don't see many Mossies remaining today but they lasted as long as the needed to.
I think that even if a CNC-eating bacteria were to be developed, reasonable precautions could be made. It's unlikely that a warplane, for example, is going to fly through a fog of CNC-eating bacteria and fall out of the sky. It's probably a process that would take months or years. Keeping CNC dry would slow the process as well.
I think this could spur hypersonic development and scramjet technologies. Scramjets could be a viable way to launch payloads into space without total reliance on rockets and thus reduce launch costs. So some cold-waresque competition could help in this area.
A Makerbot kit might be nice for printing things in PLA plastic. Check out the Rostock printer. It's faster than the Makerbot and has higher resolution.
Well, they really are different units. a pound is analogous to a newton and a kilogram is analogous to a slug. In a weightless environment a dinosaur weighs zero pounds but it still has a mass of x kilograms.
In my last job we had a group member that was living in Seattle while we were in Houston. We'd have weekly meetings and he'd phone in. It worked out pretty well. For someone living in China, you'd just have to figure out a schedule that would allow you to meet with your group over the phone.
DARPA: Hey there! That's a pretty nifty marble shooter!
You: Uh, thanks.
DARPA: Here have some money.
You: Cool!
Two Weeks Later:
DARPA: Say about that marble shooter, do you think you could set that up so that instead of marbles it shoots 1/2" steel ball bearings and up the velocity to 1800 m/s and a rate of 700 bearings per minute?
You: Umm hmm.
One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; DARPA will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new military overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted geek, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their hackerspaces.

It's from this website which provides fodder for climate change denialists: http://www.co2science.org/subject/b/summaries/biodivc3vsc4.php
Hmm, I recall some recent studies that showed 14mm per year sea rise.
If you are confused on these issues, why not consult a climatologist? He or she could probably set you straight in a few minutes.
Yeah but the original article (from 2002) had a question mark in the title so the answer would be 'No"

So what's a poor textbook company supposed to do now? Oh, I know, pay teachers to choose my textbooks and ignore the free ones!

They are going to a palindrome.
Doc, note: i dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod.

Or better yet yell "Hey, Dibs, get down off that roof! Stupid surgeon."

Yeah, and while you are at it, scan the brazil nuts and bananas. (two foods with the most radioactivity where the radioactivity occurs naturally)
The 1313 moniker refers to a specific level of Coruscant which is a haven for criminals, bounty hunters, and crime lords.
Well there's that but there was also 1313 Mockingbird lane, lest we forget! (Munster's street address)

The "drive system to the main blade" looks flimsy because there is no "drive system to the main blade." Autogyro
