I have noticed an increase in the number of 'First Post!!1!!' messages, so it seems that option B has been taken. Note that this path rules out option A.
Maybe they estimated that a field of that strength will separate H20 or some other molecule that life finds necessary? Just a random guess.
Too bad that the strongest field produced is only 2800T (actually strongest continuous is only 45T), since it only takes 16T to levitate a frog then 100kT would probably launch it (or remaining portions) into space...
With the more litigous environment in the U.S. these days, most companies will only confirm employment. Maybe for bad employees, they will employ the 'read every other line' trick...
I have never had a striped table attacked by a lion. All of my tables were rectangular, but it's reasonable to extrapolate the results to tables of other shapes, such as a table shaped like a zebra. From there, it's only a small leap to the outline of a real zebra. So I can confidently say that the striping on actual physical zebras is effective, based on my experiences. Hope this helps.
The museum is way cool if you have any interest in flight. Even people who don't typically like airplanes or technology like this museum. I took my 80 year old grandmother there, and she enjoyed it. So did my mom, and my wife (NOTE- I don't typically hang out with my grandmother and my mom).
The Enterprise was never a fully functional SS... They used the Enterprise for aerodynamics testing, i.e. they dropped it off the back of a 747 and let it glide in. It has almost everything except the engines. This is backed up by the Wikipedia entry. They even used part of the left wing for testing after the loss of Columbia, which they put back 'slightly damaged'. Not contradicting, just adding to the previous statement.
Short answer: Probably because it never hit an iceberg.
Part of the problem is that the brittleness of the rivets was temperature dependent (colder == more brittle, especially below the transition temperature). If the Olympic had hit the Hawke in frigid weather, instead of September, it probably would have sunk too. Assuming it had rivets of the same composition as the Titanic. IIRC, they kept the Olympic in warmer waters (or at least not frigid) the rest of its service life (I may be thinking of something I read about Liberty Ships which also had similar problems).
Just wait until we start getting faster computers- then the guy walking around with his finger up his nose isn't a redneck, he's just bragging about his new computer!
Of course, this doesn't explain the computer people we see now walking around with their finger in their nose... Maybe they're just overclocking?

Just wait until tomorrow, when they have the story about his neighbor who built five T-34 replicas for the same amount.
Not complete until...

I would not consider this project complete until he finds a German midget to drive it...
The lag on my Tivo is so annoying that I'm considering ditching it and building a MythTV (or something similar, haven't really looked into the alternatives lately). If that's too slow, at least I can upgrade something on it to make it faster.
This isn't going to stop there. I predict this will have far-reaching ramifications, and within a year the people at the top of the chain of command will be replaced.
They should follow the example set by some DSL and cable companies. They should just put a tube down every street, but instead of digging holes for a tube to every house, they should just have a vent to shoot out the packages in an arc so they land on (or near, seems good enough for current package delivery) your doorstep. This would emulate the current setup where they have fast fiber or whatever down the street, but only have about 5mbps (never knew they even made fiber that slow!) to the actual houses.
Further research would be required to determine if we are exactly in line with the axis of the system - but even if we are, we probably still have hundreds of thousands of years to come up with a solution, said Tuthill.
Thanks for putting that at the end of TFA. Now I need to go change my shorts.
No problem, after a few hundreds of thousands of years, we'll have moved out of the path of that death star.
Or, maybe we'll get lucky, and the gamma rays will hit the giant space goat just as it arrives. Two problems solved at once...
> One concern... How do they keep thermal load even if 1/4 of the die is not running?
If running Windows, the OS will cycle through the cores so 3 are always running, and one is cooling. This will usually not cause a problem before the system crashes due to something else.
For other OSes, I would think that the conductive layers over the non-functional core would still be working, and capable of distributing the heat evenly. Same problem as when 1 core is running full tilt and (1, 2, 3 for dual, triple, and quad core) are idling.
Ideally. While it would be wildly impractical to bring this stuff back to Earth, it might work well as a place to top off the tanks of space probes. Just haul some of this stuff into orbit, meet up with the load of oxidizer (maybe from one of the local ice covered moons, or scooped from Saturn), and fill up your tanks. Probably would really speed up exploration of the outer solar system if our probes could just go wherever they want to, instead of waiting for an alignment and slingshotting around. With a little planning, we could probably also send tanks of fuel to orbit Jupiter, or wherever else we want. Not without its own problems, but nothing too much more difficult than what's already been done.

Hope they float, even if they're cheap it's going to add up quickly...
- Property owned by a criminal, or used in a crime can be seized by the government.
- These videos would somehow (IANAL) fit into that category of stuff that can be 'seized' (quotes for obvious reasons)
- The government 'seizes' these videos, then sends DMCA take down notices to YouTube. Problem solved.
Note that the original producers of these videos are welcome to pick up a claim form (at Guantanamo).Just call it Hobolent Green, they'll eat it...

Now back to my job as a political commentator...
I thought that was going to be used for an atom with atomic mass of 404 (atom not found).
I knew someone would say that, having read the previous post...
With all of the traffic that's going to be funneled through them, would a DoS be necessary?

With the luck they've been having, the anchor would have landed on the submarine.
Maybe the cable was cut by a jagged chunk of sub hull...

Probably much lighter than aluminum, for the same strength.
The question I have is, how strong could it be for the same weight? Off to rtfa...
Because a motor would use more power, and would not be 'green'.
The obvious, environmentally friendly solution is a counterweight.
