I'm MUCH more comfortable with seeds that have mutagenesis induced by external UV than I am with seeds that have cross-species (and sometimes cross-kingdom) genes inserted into them. I would be less comfortable with seeds that have mutagenesis induced by chemical means.
And did this plane have phones in the back of the seat in front of you...
No, it did not. In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw a 'flight phone' in a seat. I think most airlines have ripped those out in favor of 'entertainment centers'.
I flew on American Airlines last week (after the recent relaxation of in-flight electronics rules). They offered WiFi on the plane for 'a nominal fee', but specifically prohibited VOIP and other phonecall-like behavior.
I HOPE that sets a precedent - I REALLY do not want to be on a plane with cell phone yakkers.
The actual size might not be a big deal, but if the atomically thin size provides better thermal stability or phase noise, then it's a major win regardless.
I know of one specific example where virtualization is too fast - I'm told that Motorola's app to program their radios had to be run on an actual ancient system.
I just learned that $32,400/yr in the US makes you a 1 percent-er. There must be an awful lot of people on government aid for the 1% level to be only 2.8x the US single person poverty level.
It's much more coupled than that. We're finding that the sun is massively connected to the Earth via magnetic flux tubes that dump charged particles into the magnetosphere, and that the day side of the magnetosphere is sometimes wide open to solar wind.
Never said they did, or that they livestock care about the clock, just that farmers raise more than things that real food eat. I've never understood the 'farmer justification' either. The wikipedia article gives lots of reasons farmers should hate DST.
Farmers produce more than vegetables. Think cows, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, etc - you know, things with eyes that wake up and start moving around at dawn.
Human activity generates a staggering number of neutrinos/sec. From this article:
"Thus, an average [4000 MWth, 1300MWe] nuclear power plant may generate over 10^20 antineutrinos per second above this threshold [1.8MeV], but also a much larger number (97%/3% = ~30 times this number) below the energy threshold, which cannot be seen with present detector technology." That's 3.1x10^21 neutrinos/sec for each 4GWth reactor!
Also, from the same reactor, "... 185 MW is radiated away as antineutrino radiation and never appears in the engineering."
...run a little fiber along the ditch (or across the lawn - you can bury it a couple of inches to avoid the lawn mower). Get a couple of gigabit switches and fiber converters, and you can wail on a NAS from either house.
I live on my family's 'compound', and have priced running the few km of fiber needed - still a little expensive for 4 houses on 50 acres, but very do-able across a lawn.
I remember vaguely some chatter about a 'desktop' wakefield generator, but I haven't kept up.
I remember from my younger years a local CB'er that had a 'lean-yar' [linear] amplifier that had one massive tube with about 10kV on the plate at about 1A. At that acceleration, he was probably getting soft X-rays from Bremsstrahlung.
The size of your ego is only exceeded by the vastness of your ignorance of how broken American politics are. I'm done with you - I don't have time to go into all of the details of your misunderstanding of how things are here. I'm glad you're happy to live in a socialist country - I would not be.
It's clear you don't understand conservativism at all, or my stance on welfare.
IF YOU MUST HAVE A FEDERAL WELFARE STATE (which I disagree with from the get-go), then as with all other things governmental it must be applied equally. The left's definition of equal is one way to look at it if the word 'equal' means 'discriminatory'. We give money to those that 'deserve' it (based on gender, race, etc - all those things that it's ILLEGAL to discriminate on).
The other definition of equal is the dictionary one - if you give X to person A, you give X to persons B-Z. As I pointed out, that would be cheaper overall than the means-based, divisive, class warfare mess we have now.
The other way to do federal welfare and still stay within the Constitution would be to allocate money for the states to disburse based solely on population, not any other criterion. I would much rather see 50 experiments in how to best serve your citizens that a one-size-fits-all onerous federal approach.
I'm as far from a communist as you could imagine. I'm actually a very conservative conservative. If you want non-discrimination, you have to apply rules equally in all circumstances, not only when discrimination fits in with your liberal 'affirmative action' agenda.
If you're going to provide welfare at the federal level at all, it has to be 'general welfare' - that is, programs that benefit all citizens. Here's my proposal: if everyone got the same base benefit from the government, no one would feel like they're 'supporting freeloaders' or look down their nose at those who choose to subsist on only that amount - everyone gets 'their fair share', and are those that choose to (hopefully 99% of the population) would naturally not be prevented from working a normal job to augment that governmental stipend (and also pay taxes on that additional income).
It would be an interesting experiment to implement this - I could, if I chose to, take a year off to write a book or make flowerpots or whatever and not have to worry about having enough money to subsist on.
A house with a 120V / 100 A feed can be accommodate with a 12000 W generator.
Close to true. With AC systems you have the additional worry of power factor, since the phase of the voltage and current do not have to be the same. For perfectly resistive loads, your simplification is true. For inductive loads (motors) and capacitive loads, the apparent power is very different from the 'actual' or 'consumed' power. You statement would be closer to true as "A house with a 120V / 100 A feed can be accommodate with a 12000 VA generator. " The difference between Watts and Volt*Amps is the power factor.
With a perfectly inductive load, I could require the generator to supply 100 VA, but actually consume 0 actual Watts!
I did the math a few years ago - it would actually be cheaper for the US government to mail a check to every single household for the maximum welfare amount/year than it currently costs to administer the program.

The dongle receivers are typically I/Q receivers.

That was the hottie from the original A-Team, you realize?
...virtualization is fast enough...
I know of one specific example where virtualization is too fast - I'm told that Motorola's app to program their radios had to be run on an actual ancient system.

The link in your sig is broken.
Ok, how about this one - those cosmic rays that are being let in willy-nilly have a [possibly slight] impact on climate.
It's much more coupled than that. We're finding that the sun is massively connected to the Earth via magnetic flux tubes that dump charged particles into the magnetosphere, and that the day side of the magnetosphere is sometimes wide open to solar wind.
Dear ComputerWorld,
The word is "manufacturers", not "manufactures". Sheesh!

Great response, thanks.

Heck, an old-school tube-type TV or monitor with a 27kV anode gets you electrons at about 0.33c, and that's shooting the electrons right at your eyes!

You mean cash for clunkers?
I have a Brother 9840-CDW and I must say it's a reliable beast. I can scan/copy/print from my Mac and my wife's nasty windows boxes.
