The paper is on Scripta Materilia, Volume 60, Issue 11, Pages 933-936 (why don't know why but I'm not able to copy and paste while using Chrome). It's available on ScienceDirect. It's over a year old and I don't know if there's any newer paper on the same subject by this group of authors.
The usage of AFM/SSRM to make this kind of consideration is pretty new, at least for me but this is not my field, besides being also a materials scientist. The paper is interesting but I would like to see more quantitative detail.
Not difficult to build this if you work from GRASS source code for the GIS part. I believe it's C but if I recall correctly (I looked at it a long time ago) it's well written. Maybe just expand GRASS. Would be interesting to look at. I'm not working with GIS anymore but I could contribute, if someone else get interested.
I disagree somewhat. Technical ceramics are in wide use like refractories. Or the semiconductor that powers your computer. In eletronics like diodes. Or as seals in advanced valves. Or the C-C thermal protection spacecrafts use. As electrodes in fuel cells. For a single example take a look at the multiple uses silicon carbide has:
Been a long time since I took that History of Technology in college, but we've probably been using ceramics for as long as we've been using metals. And even if we've been using metals since almost the dawn of civilization metallurgy as a science is pretty recent. De Re Metallica by Agricola was published in mid 1500. Metallography - our ability to understand metals microstructure using microscopes - started in the late 19th century.
But your suggestions to Civ are right on the spot:)
You can always charge a fuel cell by reversing the potential difference I believe. But, most of the time, doing this is not an energy efficient process. There are fuel cells made for situations like this (SOEC comes to mind).
Most installs I have done have gone off without a hitch, but when something doesn't work, it's hell trying to find an answer. Scouring through message boards and countless other sites trying to get an answer on the simplest questions is not fun. Plus, in many instances, the Linux community comes back with the harshest of answers saying that if I don't know how to recompile my kernel, or don't know how to fix a driver issue, I shouldn't be using Linux in the first place.
Funny. Just like you, I tried to migrate from a mostly Windows desktop to Linux. My install borked completely - reasons unknow. But if there was something that surprised me a lot was the willingness of the community to help me. People - on the openSUSE forum and IRC channel - were amazing. Every obscure way to try to get things working was tried - and it finally worked. This myth that the community is harsh or unfriendly is unjustified. If you want to give Linux a try again I suggest you - if you can't find answers on a trivial Google search - to ask on the forums or on IRC. There's a lot of people - myself included - waiting to help.
How would you apply an evidence-based method to what's fundamentally a subjective debate like law? What's truth in legislation? Legislation is the normatization of competition rules between social groups. What truth can be found on it?
Since I never met this quote before and found it quite insightful here is the link for interview where Stroustrup said it for those like me who didn't know it - it's worth reading.
What? Did you read the link you posted? They tried to hire a research department and asked them to sign a NDA. WTF? What's more normal than this? A load of people reading your post, myself included, had signed one in some point of their lives. And the university just screamed "Oh, I'm important, BP wants to buy me off". Bullshit. On a situation like this any company will hire external consultants - and get them to sign NDAs.
BP release live feeds to the spill. Get the footage. That's how close anyone will get to measure the volume. No better method. No hidden way. Get the footage they released and tell me how bad is the spill?
I'm sorry if this sound really offensive, but you're fully out of touch with reality.
JavaScript itself is not problem, even if "use strict" would come handy. The biggest problem is DOM and other associated APIs a JavaScript programmer must deal with. It's horrible. But along good practices (Crockford's Javascript The Good Parts come to mind) it is a very nice language to deal with.
Even if just like I'm not running Windows and Silverlight is an annoyance - I'd really wish to be able to see Project Tuva website without rebooting - your answer is, well, substandard.
Deep Zoom is very well done and it would be very difficult to implement something similar in JavaScript. Would not be impossible, tough. Give credit where credit is due.
Norway also covertly tortures people, just like China, if they talk about NATOs false-flag terrorism or other issues the government wants the population to stay quitet about.
I must admit I know nothing about Norway but this sparked my curiosity. Can you elaborate or point to sources with more information?

I'll check it out. Thank you.

Thank you for your kindness pointing out the usefulness of that mysterious blank spot. You changed my life in a way I couldn't imagine before!
The summary defines black silicon as:
silicon wafers treated with sulfur gases and femtosecond laser pulses
Is this a thin film deposition (pulsed laser?)? Can you give a more accurate description? Maybe pointers to interesting papers?
Thank you!
Do you know where this quote comes from? I'm trying to find it but I can't.

GPS is not in GEO. GPS is in a Middle Orbit (MEO): about 20200km.

Just remember satellites already goes through this kind of cycle everyday.

Maybe we could just redefine what room temperature is!
There was two splits in this time frame if I recall correctly.

As stated somewhere else in this thread she was not defined the certification due to the MySpace picture only.

Are the Dong Feng 21D claims credible? Sources point to a chinese blog entry:

It sounds somewhat like a propaganda piece. I wouldn't take it at face value.

Take a look at Crockford's JavaScript: The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language for reference.

From a great operating system to a shitty mobile browser, how sad.
lynx does have bookmarks. I don't remember if it has something like history.
