Ummm, haven't there been numerous nuclear powered space craft already?
Those probes to Jupiter and beyond had nuclear batterys (voyager). Alien machine intelligences will eventually find them, mispronounce their name, and bring them back here to mate with Captain Kirk.
I remember a big to-do about a plutonium powered probe that was doing a flyby past Earth. There was a lot of noise about how, if it burned up in the atmosphere, the plutonium would scatter across the earth, killing everything. The news media reporting that it was scientifically proven that one single atom of plutonium falling to Earth would instantly kill 100 people a day, for the next 100,000 years. They are never wrong, are they?
During something like Katrina, there is a lot more crap in the water than just bacteria.
What does this thing do with gasoline, pesticides, and other chemicals coming out of drowned cars, stores, homes, and factories? If it isn't removing these chemicals, then you can't be sure the processed water is safe to drink. You will probably see a lot of sick people who relied on this product, and got poisoned because of the false sense oc security.
Nothing special in making up these type of calculations. For all-integer solutions, all you need to do is get the factors of the base number (700 Watts), which in this case are "2, 2, 5, 5, 7", then put these numbers in an equation of the form "A (count) B (wattage) Bulbs for C (time) hours". Replace A, B, and C with permutations of the factors multiplied together.
If you don't understand that, then just randomly choose A and B, and calculate C using "C = 700 / (A * B)", but you are likely to get non-integer results for C.
Are they going to remove its power supply, or at least put some safety trigger lock on it? I mean, if they aren't careful, they could burn a hold right through the shuttle with it!
Microsoft should submit a movie of it working properly, like they did for the brouser issues. Just ignore the guy's clothing changing randomly during the continuous demonstration.
Considering how many new "reality TV" shows we get every year in the US, I doubt they are anywhere near the limit yet. For example, "Surviver" is up to what, about version 30 by now?
So, I'm busy writing my school report, copying^hresearching the information in Wikipedia and EB. Now yo say that they are both wrong? So, now where should I go to crib^hresearch my paper? I only have 10 minutes left to do my paper, it must be at least five pages long, and it needs to include pictures!
But so are the latest Microsoft and Intel compilers. And they *do* generate faster code in newer versions.
Really? Ok, show me where I can see their benchmarks for code running on the Power, the Alpha, the Itanium, or any other non-intel based processors. Maybe some NetBSD/VAX, Linux/Alpha, or other non-Windows based systems. The Intel compilers do run on some Linux systems, but they have to be 86 based.
It's much easier to do intel-only optimizations in intel-only compilers. However, MicroSoft fanboy desires otherwise, there are other chips out there.
I like this sort of library for providing intresting old books. Where else can you find an old book on photomicrography. Plus the images in those old books are copyright free. You can use these illustrations in many fun ways (for the SlashDot crowd, that means using photoshop to make pornographic versions).
If the "magnetic bottle" popped, while containing enough energy to power a ship at the speeds this was supposed to be going, then I'd expect more than a little pop and a burst outer shell. I'd expect a blast and fireball large enough to wake up everyone in a large area.
Unless they just ran out of fuel and crashed empty. Would that have been because of a english to metric conversion problem? That would show that they are just like us.

Whatever happened to educating yourself, conducting some degree of investigation and then reporting?
He attended the Dan Rather school of journalism?

Wonder what they would have done if it could have been written in C?
So, what is Ubuntu, Gutsy, and Xorg?

Does this bring us closer to personel flying cars, that have been promised to us for decades?
You could also run 35 4 Watt bulbs for 5 hours.

All I get back is "My hovercraft is full of eels".

Take one of those celebrity nude photos with pixelated parts, cut out the pixelated parts, then run this on them.
You get photos of the celebrities, wearing japanese clothing!
If it floats on water, then it must weigh less than a duck, which means...
A WITCH! It's a witch!
Are we sending Windows to China in retaliation for the lead-paint and poisonous pet food that China is shipping to us?
It's part of the mad scientist rules.
You need to start with the giant man-eating badgers, then you get to build camera mounts for squirrels; only then, do you get to work with the sharks.

To do this properly, you are supposed to use a WOODEN table!

I've got web 2.0 running on my mac, but I can't find a version for Windows. Can you get me a copy for Windows?
On viewing the dead baby mammoth, Bill Clinton stated that he was impressed with its beauty, and wanted to have a date with it.
And if Tom had his ball with him, he would have done it in half the time.
The original book was good, but the later ones were stupid. "Angels did it", is pretty lame for a Science Fiction author.
Their magnetic bottle lost containment.
