The Hydrogen atom is fairly well explored, and has a nucleic charge of +e, while the electron orbiting it has a charge of -e. As the electron becomes excited, it moves farther away from the nucleus until it is finally ionized.
In more complex atom, such as Rubidium, you have a nucleic charge of +37e, and 37 electrons with a charge of -e surrounding it. When observed from a distance, these add to a net charge of 0, making it neutral.
If you are able to excite the outermost electron of an atom, the electron will move very far away from the nucleus, such that the nucleus and the other electrons are close together compared to the distance between the excited electron and the nucleus. From this outer electron's perspective, the other parts of the atom combine to form a net charge of +e. With a charge of -e orbiting a charge of +e, this atom will behave like a Hydrogen atom. This is a Rydberg atom.
What they have done is make a molecule out of two Rydberg atoms made from Rubidium. This should be similar to two Hydrogen atoms making a H2 molecule. Very excited electron energies are unstable and have very brief lifetimes, so it's unusual that the entire molecule would have lasted for 18us.
17% is completely healthy. In fact, most health professionals recommend a target BF% of 16%. Essentially, it breaks down like this: 05%BF: Essential fats; don't go below this 10%BF: Athletic range; 20%BF: Healthy range; with a 16% optimum 25%BF: Overfat; but not considered horrible >25%BF: Obese
(For women, the numbers are 8%,17%,25%, and 30%, with an optimum of 20%)
I would pay to watch that. A modernized version of "Twelve Angry Men" (and I don't mean that episode of Monk) might not be a bad thing, if pulled off right.
No, let's not. You know that the year after that they'll release "Thirteen Angry Men" with George Clooney and Steve Martin.
Send up seawater. Don't think there's gonna be a shortage of that in many million years. Hell, everyone keeps complaining about Venice slowly sinking into the rising ocean.
Yea and the huge flood that global warming is sure to incur. It might be a good idea to start bailing the water out now.
A little OT but I wonder if this came about during the same brainstorming session that is trying to figure out how to accidentally push space junk into China's upcoming space stations.
OMG we should, like, totally send up ice from the south pole!
This is especially so when your audience is a bunch of scholars, scientists, and enthusiasts that are in the know and recognize glaring mistakes like this.
Or, rather, people who are already damn well aware of this fact. If somebody took the time to point this out in an astrophysics journal, I would assume that they were either being paid by the word, or an exceptionally patronizing person.
The difference being that the state can say "Whoops! You shouldn't be in jail," but in most cases you'll have a hard time convincing anybody that they did it on purpose. With these judges, we already know they did.
The point of it is that things like "Oh don't worry, nobody would think to look at/admin.pl so there's no point in putting a password on it" is not a good idea. Of course something has to be unknown or inaccessible for good security - that's not the same thing as claiming your system is secure when you're just hoping somebody doesn't notice a gaping flaw.
There's nothing wrong with obscurity in a secure system, but obscurity alone is not genuine security.
No problem. I'm starting to realize that there are a number of linux users now that have never been elbow deep in what seems like the fundamentals, assuming he was a linux user at all!

Anyone who thinks German brewers adhere to that these days needs their head testing.
I tested it and it turns out German beer is 100% carbon dioxide!
executing... (that doesn't quite sound right, but okay... you get the idea)
In America, at least, we usually just keep adding syllables until it not only sound right, but it makes us sound super smart.
Try "executivizing"

"Who the hell their base belong to?"
Us.
Don't you worry about the details there, Sparky.
Who is us and how can we stop them?
They were shocked when I introduced them to another tester who tested board games in the 1970's.
Oh wow, so before video games people used to play with pieces of lumber? :D
I like how you felt the need to provide a wikipedia link, just in case we wouldn't know what that was.
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I hear some kids on my lawn.
How about if the FBI confiscated the luggage from every room in a hotel, just because 1 of them had 50 kilos of cocaine in their room?
And to make it even more appropriate to this situation, the man with the cocaine hasn't stayed at that hotel for months.
Yeah, I know it's right in front of me, but how am I supposed to know what 13NF stands for?
As far as I know, it's only child porn
"Where will it stop?"
As far as you know, only child porn. What you don't know is the problem with censorship in the first place.
I wonder if www.heavensgate.com is still available?
I would pay to watch that. A modernized version of "Twelve Angry Men" (and I don't mean that episode of Monk) might not be a bad thing, if pulled off right.

That would have been Bush's regime / posse....
There's a new gang in town now...
Just have to wait and see...
If you want to see what the new gang is up to, I suggest reading this story: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/16/0945237

I guess I be a pirate then. *ARRR* Where do I get my eye-patch?
It's awesome that you do the voices too!

The only question is how much damage are you willing to sustain before deciding to build them.
There's also the option of not laying all your cards on the table before the other players have even been dealt to.

It's not a bad idea. Subtlety doesn't go over well with some geeks (that whole denser-than-rocks thing and all).
But how does that compare to people who are denser-than-apples?
All I care about is that my new machine is Windows 7 Compatible!
