Your screed conflicts with your sig. If the final verdict of science is that carbon is the catastrophic problem you claim it is, we will have to quickly switch our energy baseload from fossil fuels to nuclear. We will have no choice but to get good at it.
What journalists don't realize is that finding ultra-radioactive plants and animals is GOOD news, not bad. The problem in the vicinity of Chernobyl and Fukushima is not high levels of radiation, but widely scattered radioisotopes. We need to identify bioconcentrators that can be exploited to soak up unusual-in-the-environment metals, such as cesium, that have long-lived radioactive isotopes. The cleanup will consist of getting those bioconcentrating mushrooms to grow across the contaminated region, then harvesting and isolating them as nuclear waste.
Liberal arts educated journalists vs. science is an old story. And on 60 Minutes in particular, the journalists themselves probably support evolution only because of their personal experience in having pet dinosaurs as kids.
You need to have your head examined. Check into any major hospital to have this done and you will see an Earthly application for large superconducting magnets.
Apple pay is just one of the many implementations of the NFC standard, which is why no merchant has to "sign up for Apple Pay." Android is invited to come up with a cool implementation of its own.
This is why I would rather see intellectual property redefined as a personal right of the creator, with no transfers permitted. Authors and inventors would hire third parties to publicize and develop their works, rather than selling out to them for what is so often a pittance. People who work on commission are more motivated to make given IP a market success than those who can buy it and sit on it.
On the other hand, it's the people who can make billions marketing near- term technology X who can invest his F-U money in speculative technology Y. Space applications beyond Earth orbit, after years of languishing, are benefiting from this effect.
Yes. Tapestries of that era depict serfs slowly pulling long parchment scrolls bearing the brightly colored playing field diagonally across a refectory table as knights took turns shooting.
Breeder reactors are not perpetual motion devices. They must exten the usable amount if nuclear fuel by making some if the nonfissionable isotopes into fissionables.
Philadelphia did return a significant amount of data. It even drilled I to the surface, though I don't know whether the unanchored proble could actually pierce the surface.
There may be amore important reason to develop wave energy. In most parts of the UK, shoreline erosion is a serious problem. Any technology that saps the energy of incoming waves is a good thing for countries with this problem.
There was another problem with Biosphere 2: use of window glass, rather than quartz glass, to let sunlight into the structure. Even in Arizona, window glass does not let enough UV through for adequate photosynthesis. But just as the ISS allows us to find out what happens to the human body in long periods of microgravity, Biosphere was our first test of social interactions on a long voyage in isolation.
Lessons learned: watch that CO2-absorbing concrete and UV-absorbing glass, and don't staff with whiny prima donnas.
Not a lot of reprocessing is being done because right now there is no pressing need. Fresh uranium is cheap, we have just finished recycling all those Cold War bombs, and Yuccca-class dry storage would work fine for at least several decades of the waste we have piled up right now. But medicine needs radioisotopes. NASA has run out of plutonium for RTGs. It's nice to have all that spent fuel as a known reserve of uranium, but the first reprocessing will be driven more by demand for isotopes other than the uranium.
How many people could afford to drive if every car had to be individually approved by Washington, and if every post-sale defect resulted in suits for the individual buyers, rather than a manufacturer recall?
Start treating nuclear designs in the same legal manner as automobile designs, and the whole cost problem goes away.

All scientists outside the massively politicized field of climatology know this. Let the Planck and BICEP2 teams work this out in the way of science.
Fortunately the FDA has no jurisdiction in the UK. Or in the rest of the world.

Ammo that only ISIS will be able to afford.

Good call on the pernicious effect of the precautionary principle, though its a lot more about hipster primitivism than statism.
And get to work on making those kids.
Any story about 'rightsholders' who are not the creators of work evokes my automatic Big Fat Don't Care response. Go, torrenters!

To get today's reactions, it used to be necessary to drop the name Tesla - the man, not the car.
I suppose that communications satellites, GPS and terrestrial mapping don't feed a lot of people either.

'Philae'. That's what I get from posting on iOS.

The Apple Pay implementation of NFC would work, though because of the gloves you would have to use the passcode option, not the fingerprint.

SSD cache is best used for commonly accessed software, especially the boot-time loads. Some operating systems will optimize this for you.
