as a consequence, luck, resourcefulness, and help by natives played vital roles in survival. Without these, no expedition party would have made it.
None of the above applies to the moon or to Mars; survival would rely on technology alone, and at our current capability, odds are too low to overcome.
Need an outlet for imagination? how about renewable energy, climate stabilization, global economic theory, etc?
Plenty of huge challenges right here to work on that we'll need solved in order to survive on this planet.
Unfortunately, mac support for instrumentation software was better 10 years ago than it is today, although G5/OSx is re-gathering interest in the platform.
Companies claim they cannot support multiple platforms anymore, and or course that means a lot of instrumentation software is windows only - I just went through this buying a new instrument for my lab. 3rd party options are extremely risky if validation for GMP compliance will be an issue. Universities are a different world than the commercial product development lab because of regulatory hurdles like this.
Another big problem area for engineering types is lack of CAD support for mac.
Sad, but true for Mac purists who have to use PCs in the lab, myself included.
His main problem is not the car, but the fact that he believed what he was sold from Honda Dealer would all be true.
Surely there were plenty of independent channels he could have turned to, including locals with the same type of car, for real-world independent info before he bought the car.
The recent junk-science story here lamented lack of critical thinking in everyday life: Believe TV advertisers at your own peril.
FWIW, EPA give plenty of caveats on their web site regarding lack of applicability of their mileage-rating model to individual performance, so calling them out for this also doesn't work.
Can someone explain to me how Wi-Fi is going to be a safe bet to use throughout the flight?
1) they control the access point, so they could only power it up when they decide it's okay to do so; e.g., avoiding takeoff and landings 2) They spec/own/validate the access point to satisfy their own (and insurers) concerns.
1) this is NOT purported to be a traditional fission bomb
2) the significance is that you could store energy in the Hf "golf ball", hit it with a pulse of x-ray, then release the stored energy as much HIGHER energy gamma rays (think anti-personnel, not "big boom")
3) the political ramifications are that you could work on this weapon while not violating nuclear proliferation treaties
sheesh, you weren't even close with your analysis.
green tea works because it's an anti-oxidant, meaning it removes oxygen (oxides) from the hard drives.
not to be pedantic, but this is not oxidation. As the original article states, the tannins bind to the tiny ceramic particles that that are unwanted on the surface. Thereby solubilizing them, allowing them to be rinsed free.
What the article doesn't state but could have environmental impact is the ability to avoid organic solvents vs. being able to process with water. Since tannins are (mostly) water soluble, this would be another plus for this process.
I have an original graphite station. I added a lucent external antenna (I don't remember the specs, maybe a 5dB boost?) that required a "case hack" I saw posted somewhere. In may case, the antenna plugs directly into the embedded PCMCIA card. the addition did boost performance for me, but I still found that some areas downstairs remained spotty.
I noticed that the Dr. Bott is more expensive than the lucent. To be honest, I think you will be disappointed to spend a hundred bucks and find only marginal improvement.
Okay, before everyone gets too excited, let's remember what is true about technology,- it DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK CORRECTLY. I just used this link with my home address. It shows the satillite view of my block with.90xx meter resolution, but the little red dot is on the wrong end of the street. I double checked and I had typed in my address correctly.
"Silly Putty is a dilatant compound, a silicone based polymer..." This statement makes sense also because the inventor was (is) a Dow chemist/engineer. Dow has always been a leader in silicone chemistry.
The recipie from U of M is a borate cross-linked PVA (from the Elmer's), better known as slime. This is NOT a silicone polymer.
Before I flame UofM Chemistry dept., I will give them a change to correct this gaff.

...Holmium, tee hee, a freaking knee slapper.
c'mon, mod him up, WAY UP!
You have totally missed the concept:
1) this is NOT purported to be a traditional fission bomb
2) the significance is that you could store energy in the Hf "golf ball", hit it with a pulse of x-ray, then release the stored energy as much HIGHER energy gamma rays (think anti-personnel, not "big boom")
3) the political ramifications are that you could work on this weapon while not violating nuclear proliferation treaties
sheesh, you weren't even close with your analysis.
FYI,
Carbon has been the "big thing" here on earth for the last 4 billion years.

What good is 20 hours of music if the machine only plays for 10?
Excellent reasoning skills.
Just like," what good is an entire menu selection in a restaurant when you can only eat one meal at a time?"
nice.

"So, if microsoft says: why would we work with #2 and stop making office for macs?"
where do you think excel and word came from? Where do you think MS got the idea for windows?
Do you think for one second gates would be so dumb as to let apple out of his sight? Of course he would not.
c'mon.
