That touches on a thought I've often had: if "ignorance of the law is no excuse", then I'd really like to see a physical copy of all the laws by which I'm required to abide - federal, state, and local. I'm sorta surprised no one's played this as a tactic - I would have expected some grandstanding politician to roll out wheelbarrows of paperwork to make a point.
No. It's height. Wave height = 2 * wave amplitude. Internal waves do not occur at the surface, but they can affect the height of the surface (i.e. you can "see" internal waves on a ship's radar as the changes in sea surface height match the crests/troughs of the waves). Like a surface gravity wave, the main motion/movement of a water particle in an internal wave is circular/orbital, although there is also some along-wave direction movement (Stokes drift).
Also keep in mind that tsunami waves caused by earthquakes are mostly internal, and only become large surface waves when the water becomes shallow, and all that displacement has nowhere to go but up.
If you are using another definition of the word wave (such as that used by physics to refer to light, sound, etc.) when talking about water, you really should specify what you mean.
It's clear from the article they're using the latter meaning of "wave". The definition above is a visual description of what are generally caused by wind. You want definition 11 in your link.
One unexpected finding... was the degree of turbulence produced as the waves originate, as tides and currents pass over ridges on the seafloor.
So? It's not an oval racer. It's built to a performance envelope defined by a specific event. The factors that are important here are acceleration, downforce, and mechanical grip; not top speed. Looking at the sketch in TFA, it's clear by the presence of the front wing that they're targeting massive downforce, which eats into top speed by creating drag.
with 1MW power, the 50KWh battery would be dead in 3 minutes at full throttle.. jeez. Roughly equivalent to a gasoline car with a 2-gallon tank... lol. (1 gal=33KWh)
Do all these people posting 50kWh/1020kW 180s comments not understand racing? Or hybrid drive systems? Or Mountain roads? As TFA mentions, the Pikes Peak course contains over 150 turns, so you'll be off throttle or at partial throttle most of the time, especially with that much torque available, and regenerative braking will give some of it back.
Or perhaps the race car engineers that are building the race car don't know anything about the race they're building it for. That seems likely./sarcasm
This is not entirely true, in the United States banks under the FDIC coverage only insure you to a max of $250.000 regardless of how much money you have in your bank account, while C oinbase for example gives you insurance for the full amount of your bitcoins
Which is why everyone who wants to keep more than that in the bank divides it into multiple accounts, since each account is insured to $250k, not each person.
Yes. It will also require installation of Starforce, Uplay malware and require a constant internet connection. Oh and it won't be at all usable until the fifth post-release patch. Ubisoft will also whine that every user is a dirty pirate haxor who is stealing money from them.
I used to have lazy eye, but after having to deal with Ubisoft DRM it now twitches uncontrollably.
If someone came onto your lawn and started yelling about how they were going to rape your daughter, they're not going to get a little slap on the wrist. They'd get arrested, thrown in jail, and possibly be put on a sex offender list.
IF YOU WOULDN'T DO IT IN REAL LIFE, THEN DON'T FUCKING DO IT ON THE INTERNET.
The fact that you can type anything you like into that inanimate magic light box sitting in front of you that uncritically accepts whatever you say makes it easier than ever for people to be dicks on a massive scale. You've highlighted the lesson every kid needs to be taught before they touch an internet-connected device:
If you threaten to rape someone on the internet, you threaten to rape them in real life. Because if you say it on the internet, you're saying it in real life. Because the internet is real life.
It's not this semi-non-existent alternative reality that "doesn't count."
They are tracking (or rather, were previously) cell phones without fingerprints. The point of this initiative is to verify that the identify registered to the cell phone actually belongs to the person using the cell phone. IE, terrorists have been using cell phones registered to other people (or fake identities), and fingerprinting all cell phone users hopefully will make that more difficult or at least provide an avenue for investigation.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. That makes more sense. I read TFA twice and did not get that meaning out of it.

Generally when talking about water, the definition of a wave specifies it is on the surface:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/wave"a disturbance on the surface of a liquid body, as the sea or a lake, in the form of a moving ridge or swell."
If you are using another definition of the word wave (such as that used by physics to refer to light, sound, etc.) when talking about water, you really should specify what you mean.

Watch the animation.
NASA was just messing around, you see, they had an experimental EM drive... and next think you know they accidentally the whole spacetime.
I watched the show! My favorite episode was the one where they encountered a space-time anomaly while someone was on the holodeck.
This brings us one step closer to DUI Telepresence Crown Victoria Figure-8 racing!
I'm assuming they resorted to this method after unsuccessfully adding {{OVERRIDE_GRADE_MODE}{SET GRADE='A'}} and variants into all their essays.
And I thought hail was bad!
How do you loose a pair of cities on an industry?
Unless you're talking about DRM, in which case the users are already f***ed.

And here's the onboad video, which is pretty amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y20CLumT2Sg
260 kph in real units is only 160 miles per hour
Which is plenty fast for Pikes Peak. When Sebastian Loeb set the record with his 900-hp car, his maximum speed on course was 150mph.

I'm done. I'll come back tomorrow. Laters...
Yeah, me too - I'm so dune with this nonsense.
The Common Law is so 'Caveat Emptor' it isn't funny.
I would say it's more like qui habet pecuniam pro advocatorum
I would say it's more like "semper ubi sub ubi", because sooner or later Comcast will make you eat your shorts.
That's the first thing I thought of. Different Sierra Nevada. Although now I think the brewery should make a new beer called "Dream Chaser."

Link: Suicide Linux
The question is: "What is the maximally fucked-up linux distro?"
Well, that would be Suicide Linux, obviously.
Yes. It will also require installation of Starforce, Uplay malware and require a constant internet connection. Oh and it won't be at all usable until the fifth post-release patch. Ubisoft will also whine that every user is a dirty pirate haxor who is stealing money from them.

The technology's great - something that I feel was inevitable, yet still a tremendous breakthrough.
That being said, does no one proofread anymore?
So Amazon just patented 3-D printing... ON A TRUCK? What other existing technologies can we add "on a truck" to to create a novel invention?
