Even the simplest things can be told incorrectly, and even the smallest error can get picked up by the media and blown out of proportion to either discredit the institute or spread ignorance. Communication is not as obvious as just telling what you are working on.
And what's the ultimate goal? To build an aircraft that goes faster than the previous ones? With enough money you can always best the previous record, but after a while it becomes pointless, just like those record speed cars that are basically just a rocket on wheels. This is basically just a rocket on wings.
Just stop calling medicine, psychology, sociology and economics sciences, just stop publishing them, and stop funding them. The avalanche of bullshit will suddenly stop.
The title of RTFA does refer to terrorists, but there is nothing in the actual quotes even remotely suggesting it. If it was an attempt at humour, it's crap; if it was an attempt to steer the opinion of its readers: likewise. We have enough reason to hate publishers without making shit up.
There was an enormous hype predicting the fall of web2.0 in 2008, yet it was one of the few sectors that managed to grow in the crisis. Stop publishing these fake stories by sour speculants.
The thing is, the current theories, even if they're wrong with dark matter, they're "close" to whatever the real situation is because they work so well in most cases. That means the "correct' theory won't be too extremely different, or must at least reduce to the current theories for the special cases we have observed.
They work in small scale, but most cases is streching it. Gravitational anomalies are pretty widespread, not just one or two special galaxies. Also, those 'theories' are without any predictive power, as they are mostly fit to existing data. In fact, "dark matter" itself is treated like a free variable in most of these theories, changing mass and distribution a hundred times to fit the observations. For the orbital speed of stars to be independent of their position in the galaxy, the distribution of dark matter would have to be very special, far more special than gravity alone could explain (as in most theories dark matter only participates in the gravitational interaction).
They don't have to. They only have to move their physical presence out of Germany, like they did with China. If Germany will try to implement a Netherlands-like net filter as a result, the already popular pirate party will gain sufficient support from the angry crowd to stop it.
This system stores all greywater used in the building and processes it in an on-site treatment plant, reducing water consumption by 90% compared to a traditional building.
Security is exactly why cars should be opensourced. Today's cars have crappy security, at least with opensource owners would have a chance of fixing it. If you are afraid of an attacker replacing the entire code, that doesn't require the software to be opensource, the attacker could write his own from scratch.
Even the article mentions that most of the other languages use C code. Dynamic languages tend to have good foreign function interfaces, and this one seems to have one too. The only thing that has to be reimplemented is a wrapper if you want a friendly interface.

But a suborbital rocket like this is still slower than a ballistic missile.
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." - Benjamin Franklin
Assuming they can improve the materials somewhat, being able to do that in a plane instead of a rocket would be pretty useful.
This vehicle is basically a rocket, not a plane.

Spend more money on this.
Because it's good for...what exactly? I fail to see the practicality of a plane that goes so fast it burns itself to pieces.

This. People preferring information over food is not the start of the end, but a sign that our race is advancing.
But 250000E per infringement is not simply higher, it's a completely different order of magnitude.

When your self-replication is imperfect, just claim that it also has 'evolution' included.
Define life. Creating self-replicating chemicals that work in a completely artificial environment is not life.
No, but you can store it in an amoeba.
You are confusing Europe with America.
The only thing producing more energy than it consumes is a perpetuum mobile.
Just like real astronauts. Also, you are wrong:
A 11% difference between full white and full back is more or less insignificant to me.
Shadowing the backlight consumes some power in LCDs, except if the part is dark enough so they can dim the light in that sector.

Putting the condenser behind the turbine ensures that it gets a nice airflow, improving its efficiency.
They don't want you to go blind.
