Some people seem to solve this problem with their tipis. Some of these pictures show a firebox installed in the tent along with a stove pipe. For a city sized dome, you would need a separate extraction system for waste gases - a municipal sized central vacuuming system. Such systems (AVAC) already exist in European cities for garbage collection. Maybe both systems could be combined together as air is going to be moving when there aren't any bags of rubbish being extracted.
Judge Dredd comic has a forum where readers can discuss the different stories. I see the same discussions there, as we had in high-school English when taught about the "classical" plays, novels and stories.
If a small roll of Sellotape can generate X-rays in a vacuum chambers, we just need a larger or stickier roll to generate these gamma-rays and anti-matter. Alternatively, get someone to pull the tape extra fast.
Didn't somebody do some research where they could analyze the shadows of a painting to convert it into geometry? Then it would be possible to convert any painting into a plaster sculpture.

This could be used to coordinate efforts between the military and civilians, should the need arise. In the sake of the great terrorism debate, what if a vehicle was known to be in the US, and it is expected to detonate a nuke on US soil. This kind of crowdsourcing would have a better chance of finding it than putting everyone in the law enforcement and intelligence communities on the road hunting.
This research would have been conducted empirically when there have been police alerts for stolen cars, 4x4s and trucks.
I'm guessing it is more "How willing will people be to give out information and share it, rather than keep it to themselves?" Much like that experiment with those little robots that would flash lights whenever they found food, but then realized that led to more competition while they were "feeding", so they only flashed their lights once they were close to being full, and would be finished by the time others arrived.
With a $40,000 prize reward, there is the temptation to just trawl the web looking for tips on road discussion groups. Search words would be fairly simple like "red balloon" and "guy in black suit".
When I first saw that balloon, the Flash game "Bloons" came to mind.
If bacteria can survive in the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere, and chunks of atmosphere can be blown away by the solar wind, is it possible that such bacteria could make the journey from Earth to Mars?
I believe that is what they do in Europe, and why it is so hard to start up a company there, because even as a software or hardware engineer you have to take out liability insurance in case your product fails. In the UK, there are umbrella companies to handle this for a commission.
Once mining companies (and property/land developers) realize that their is a risk that they might be sued in the future, they will create subsidiary companies that are legally responsible for the project. Once the project has been completed, the subsidiary company is liquidated along with any legal responsibilities. Either way, the owners will be absolved from any blame.
Back in the mid 1990's, the USENET feed for some universities (and the companies who were downstream from them) was still provided by ISDN, which would often fail. Consequently, it was referred to as a "two plastic cups tied together by a wet piece of string".
I wonder how long they were going to let him work as a software engineer? Once he had a PhD. in combustion (reaction diffusion equations + computational fluid dynamics), there wouldn't be much in mathematics or software engineering he could learn. Was the MBA the only career path they were offering him? Those RD and CFD skills would be extremely attractive in the analysis of derivatives and stock markets.
Going by the cost of replacement components for a laptop, buying a replacement LCD screen from some companies is more expensive than buying a new laptop with equivalent capabilities.
There was article some time ago, about an construction worker/engineer had built his own cruise missile from a GPS receiver, some compressed gas tanks and copper piping (oxygen/hydrogen) for fuel, a handful of stepper motors for the guidance fins, and an standard construction workers ultrasonic/laser distance measuring unit to determine the height off the ground.
There are some parasites which make their way into the human brain and form cysts. If one of these forms next to the pituitary gland, that will force the person to grow taller than average. I always wondered whether these giants weren't simply a biblical city that had a parasite problem.
When someone applies to do supercomputing research projects, they are allocated a set number of hours, and a particular number of processors per booking. They might not all ten thousand nodes of a national supercomputer. Some projects might just need a thousand nodes. The admin's will maintain a schedule and timetable much like the batch processing days of mainframes.
This system may just have 1/37th the performance of the lowest machine on the super computer list, but it will offer more performance than a cluster of standard PC's, and take up less space. Maybe it will be used as a server. Some university departments have systems like these to run as Matlab servers, where all the image and signal processing is performed remotely.
This will be enough for a group of researchers to develop their particular simulation model, generate some preliminary results and submit an booking request to use a larger supercomputer.
n the early 1980s, at least two operating systems achieved machine independence through extensive use of p-code. The Business Operating System (BOS) was a cross-platform operating system designed to run p-code programs exclusively. The UCSD p-System, developed at The University of California, San Diego, was a self-compiling and self-hosted operating system based on p-code optimized for generation by the Pascal programming language.
Back then, everything was awe-inspiring and amazing in the tech world
That era was when Nvida/3dfx were first founded - the first texture mapping graphics cards came out, then full transformation and lighting in hardware, Quake, then wide screen resolutions. 450 MHz Pentium III processors seemed super-zippy fast. Microsoft introduced 'sockets' to Windows and announced that Windows NT had made UNIX legacy. SGI wanted to prove that a software based OpenGL would be as fast as custom game rendering code. ADSL broadband was becoming available in some apartments. Previously low-key student houses who just happened to have broadband connections found themselves the most popular destinations for new students. The battle between Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator had begun. Cell phones still had a long antennae coming out the top.
Just before in 1994, having a 56K modem was a major advancement, Windows 3.1 was still the main development target. Reading USENET, text based discussion boards and subscribing to mailing lists was the main method of getting news. Viewing images would require using ftp manually or using uuencode/decode to get a server to fetch a 640x480 image, encode it as ASCII, slice the file up and send it to you in chunks, which you could then reassemble manually.
Now, if your cable provider goes from 50 Mbits to 70 Mbits, that isn't noticable, though laptop screen have shrunk a bit, and everyone uses LCD monitors now. Just about every mobile phone seems to look like a touchpad PDA or has a little keyboard and allows the user to play movies and music. MP3 players are the size of credit cards. USB Keychains now store more information than a DVD let alone a 1996 hard disk drive. What could just about be done on supercomputer in 1996, can now be done on a graphics card.
Important information about FluMist FluMist is a "live virus" vaccine. Influenza virus vaccine is also available in an injectable form, which is a "killed virus" vaccine. This medication guide addresses only the nasal spray form of this vaccine.
For at least 21 days after receiving FluMist, avoid close contact with anyone who has a weak immune system caused by disease (such as cancer, HIV, or AIDS), or by certain medicines such as steroids, cancer chemotherapy, or radiation treatment. A person with a weak immune system can become ill if they have close contact with you after you have recently received a an influenza vaccine.

Yes, but you need someone to hold the kite steady while the thunderstorm passes overhead.

You get them at the party market in the UK. I might buy a dozen or so some day and go cluster ballooning

What if there was only one super-high-energy photon that left the supernova, and collided with an proton creating two gamma rays later on?

FluMist
Important information about FluMist
FluMist is a "live virus" vaccine. Influenza virus vaccine is also available in an injectable form, which is a "killed virus" vaccine. This medication guide addresses only the nasal spray form of this vaccine.

A person with a weak immune system can become ill if they have close contact with you after you have recently received a an influenza vaccine.
The nasal spray version of the vaccine does contain live virus, but "attenuated" so that it can only reproduce in the lining of the nose.
