People who successfully build a Tesla fusion reactor in their basement/kitchen...
I think you mean neutron here, not (anti) neutrino.
Just how will antineutrino detection differentiate between the 5% pure uranium used in electricity generation and the 80% pure which is weapons grade...
The nuclear fuel only gives off copious neutrinos/anti-neutrinos when reactions are taking place, not when at rest, so detecting a rogue bomb isn't the point of the exercise. The point is to more accurately detect nuclear fission/fusion events, not piles of fissile material. A working power reactor will give off a constant neutrino flux whereas a secret test will give off a 'flash' of neutrinos.
I can't wait for a Synology plugin app that supports this. I'd much rather have my NAS push the data to the snowball than have it traverse the network twice.
... or learn to drive extremely defensively: begin slowing down 1/2 mile from red lights and expected turns, keep at least 10 seconds following distance, etc...
NO NO NO!!! The world has enough Prius drivers already!
A special region is a region classified by COSPAR within which terrestrial organisms could readily propagate, or one thought to have an elevated potential for existence of Martian life forms. This is understood to apply to any region on Mars where liquid water occurs, or can occasionally occur, based on the current understanding of requirements for life.
If a hard landing risks biological contamination of a special region, then the whole lander system must be sterilized to COSPAR category IVc."
Are you honestly claiming that digital a metre with a little LCD display... uses more power than a digital metre with an LCD display and an RF transmitter?
I think the OP was comparing ANALOG meters with the new electronic ones. If you look closely, I think the "3W" on that meter means it draws 3W of power (confirmed here) - a decent electronic meter, even one with a transmitter, will consume less power than that. I do decent range ZigBee with 10-20mW of power - the transmitter pulls at most 30mA at 3.3V, so whether or not the meter has a transmitter makes little impact on the total power draw.
My father had an '85 GT, and it was very cool. My wife now owns it. You can walk up to it, crumple in the door panel with your knee, and it'll pop right back out with no damage at all.
The other feature was their 'mill and drill' setup where all the holes for the body panels were drilled at once in a very accurate jig - that meant that you could easily replace the body panels with factory or aftermarket ones to change the style/color/layout of the body. Since they were not structural, you could do anything, really.
I think they imply that when they mentioned they broke the glass on their MixStix(tm) on Earth: From the PDF, emphasis mine:
... in January 2012, the experiment was initiated, as the astronauts broke the glass separating walls in the individual MixStix(TM), thus allowing the distillate and the oak wood shavings to come into contact with each other. At the same time on Earth, we initiated the control experiment by breaking the separating wall in my MixStix(TM) on Islay (which had been sent back to me at Ardbeg Distillery from NanoRack’s laboratories in Houston, USA).
So it looks like Ardbeg sent hooch and shavings to NanoRack in Houston, they created two (identical?) MixStix, and sent one to Russia to be boosted and the other back to Islay.
Plus, FINALLY, they tell us exactly how they 'aged' the whisky (normal aging entails long-term storage in 'previously used' charred oak barrels).
In the Ardbeg experiment, 32 vials, each with six milliliters of unaged whisky, were sent to the space station in 2011 and then mixed with oak shavings. After 971 days of aging, the whisky returned to Earth last year to be compared with samples that had been aged on the ground. Dr. Lumsden and a panel of experts sniffed and tasted, and he ran them through a battery of chemical analyses.

Doesn't the sun contribute a much larger neutrino flux than radioisotopes in the earth?
Good old Nostra-dumbass. So vague he predicted everything and nothing simultaneously. Schrödinger is both spinning/not spinning in his grave.

So I can 'shoot them or threaten to do so' as long as my abode is humble? Where's the dividing line between a mansion and a manor?

We keep sending probes to Mars, and I don't think we sterilize them before we send them.
Yes they do.
There's even a special requirement for wet Mars:
A special region is a region classified by COSPAR within which terrestrial organisms could readily propagate, or one thought to have an elevated potential for existence of Martian life forms. This is understood to apply to any region on Mars where liquid water occurs, or can occasionally occur, based on the current understanding of requirements for life.

Already exists. My wife bought this by accident and looked fabulous while we were on St. Croix.

The original Saturn polycarbonate side panels had a lot of advantages, including no rusting and more ding resistance than metal.
Don't forget the Pontiac Fiero that featured plastic body panels back in the mid '80s.
When I read Hellisheiði, I tried to wipe the smudge off the 'o'.
Yes, you're correct. Those arrogant sisters that plagued me so could only see their maternal lineage thru Other Memory.
Couldn't they read the tapes using a frikkin' laser and the Faraday Effect?

As I replied to the AC, they did do 'Real Science (tm)'.
Real science would have been if they put the two samples in a mass spectrometer and found a significantly different chemistry.
Apparently they did, but that doesn't make sensational headlines.

It seems that it does 'spread'.

Ha! I see what you did there!
TFA specifically says it's the new-fangled 5 GHz spectrum that's the problem.
