No, it's not, cryogenic hydrogen deutride was given up on VERY early in the development of thermonuclear weapons. The cryogenics couldn't be shrunk enough, the extra kick was too small, and solid lithium deutride was better at both. Beside the explosives isn't just a little bit of TNT, it's a fission bomb, THAT is the hard part to get.
Actually some Tokamak designs have broken the electical break even point (at least in theory, the energy was not captured to make more electricity through steam). The problem is they are nowhere near doing it economically and the reaction can not be perpetually maintained.
Yes and he will go to work at Fermilab or one of the other national labs and get to play with more big toys then he could ever dream of. It won't be until he is much older that he will even really think about the consequences of his lifes work. The outcome of that self reflection seems to be evenly split between those who think they have done good for humanity and those who disagree.
Is it possible that this has as much that the politicians don't want to have to bow to power of a few media barrons when they go up for reelection as it does to do with the will of the people?
On the left lane thing I call bullshit. I have driven on the Autobahn many times (lived in Germany a total of about a 12 months over several years) and as long as you are going at least a couple miles per hour over the general flow of traffic you should be ok. You DO have to look out for overtaking traffic and move over for them but that generally isn't a problem unless you are an idiot. btw on limited access roads the most dangerous thing you can do is change lanes, most accidents on the roads occour because two vehicles attempt to occupy the same space, happens most often when one of them is changing lanes. btw the stretch north of Munich that is unlimited speed (one of the few stretches that still is) is where I achieved my personal high speed, 185mph in a F50, would have gone faster but I didn't think I could handle even a fairly modest curve any faster and was worried about slower traffic around the bend.
Saleen S7 sucks. It's WAY overpriced and the 0-60 is only 3.8. I know tuners that have achieved over 600HP out of that same block without nitro. The top speed is impressive as is the fact that you can almost drive the car near those speeds (Saleen did a VERY nice job on the suspension tuning, but not nice enough to justify the price, for half as much you can get a Lingenfelter Vette with 550bhp and 550lb/ft of torque.)
That reminds me of one of the more famous comedians routines. He talks about getting a new sports car just after he made it and having out on a rainy day. He sees a state trooper by the side of the road and knows he can't safely slow down before he gets to him so he accelerates! When the trooper finally catches up to him many miles down the road the cop asks him what he thinks he's doing. He replied that he can afford the ticket and that he just wanted to see the cop get wet =)
Yep, go to a car show some time, 90+% of them are working stiffs who rebuilt the cars themselves. There is a class of lawyer/CEO who buys their way into the hobby and therefore subsidizes someone elses time but for the most part car enthusiasts are not rich folk.
You don't have to go that fast for a wing to come into play. For instance the speed sensitive wing on the Chrysler Crossfire deploys at around 57mph. DiamlerChrysler spent a lot of time and money in windtunnels and computer sims to find out the best speed to deploy that spoiler. Even most American drivers will regularly go faster than 57mph.
They also outsource their engine designers to other firms. For instance the Ford Duratec engine line was designed in partnership with Porsche. The snobs took the money and pounded out a first rate engine design then told Ford their was no way they could ever make it. Within 3 months of production beginning at the Cleveland engine plant the average tolerance to spec was at half the deviation that the Porsche engineers specified. A lot of this had to do with the completely new machine tools that Ford installed in Cleveland but a lot of it had to do with the fact that the UAW knew that they would lose all the high paying jobs to Mexico if they weren't able to beat expectations. I expect my Duratec Ford to go at least 200K miles before a tuneup and at the body will most likely wear out in Ohio winters long before the engine is shot.
Just watch where you park it. Any bodywork on an NSX will be in the thousands and can only be done in a handfull of garages around the country that are Acura certified for the NSX. A friends father had one and a caddy at the country club slammed the trunk without checking to see if the clubs would clear the lid. They didn't and the country club's insurance had to pay around $5K for the repairs, needless to say that caddy was out of a job.
You must be on a silly metered connection then because this will not be enough bandwidth to push you from one tier to another. Europeans whine about how strange it is to pay for incoming cell calls but then put up with all sorts of other metered services. Personally I don't pay for incoming cell service, I don't pay anything but a flat 34.95 a month for unlimited calling. The only long distance calls I make are on my employers behalf and all those go to the calling card which is programmed into my cellphones quickdial =)
Actually this will cost you very little in extra bandwidth because Verisigns email server disconnects with a 550 as soon as you start the DATA portion of the handshake.
Yeah except that intercepting the response and checking to see if it is for Verisigns search page isn't difficult. They have automated their stupidity lets automate our response.
I'm an MCSE and an RHCE and I can't really see a lot of difference between the two. The new Win2k and above MCSE is much more real world than the NT4 tests were. They can't compete with the lab work for the RHCE but I think most people who recieved one of the newer MCSE's should be able to study up and get the RHCE without a problem.
Maybe they just realized that the law might spur a new generation of patriots willing to fight the government to regain those lost rights. I'm not really a hut in the woods of Montanna type of guy but I can see why people would be willing to fight a government like the one presently in power. Ashcroft is possibly the worst things to happen to America since the McCarthy hearings.
The GUI is slick, but the install is 13.5MB. I use GS along with a couple other freeware/open source tools to allow print to pdf for free. It's definitly harder to setup than Acrobat but it doesn't cost a penny. But all that is beside the point, the point is that pdf is an unencumbered technology that Adobe was nice enough to open up for all to use.
Basically the only way that will happen is if Visa, Mastercard, and one of the major EU bank cards colaborate to make a single system. The problem they would have is that transactions are still way too costly for them to process for them to do micropayments, their internal costs are around 18 cents per transaction variable cost plus a couple cent for the amoratization of their fixed costs.
Of couse it f'ing does. The patent is on a plugin system not a specific plugin. The point is that Lotus Notes R3 had a plugin system which meets all of the requirements of the patent before the patent was granted. In other words the patents methods had already been invented and used commercially before the patent was even submitted. With a patent this broad that will generally invalidate the patent or at least limit its scope significantly.
The pdf standard is completely free and open. Adobe does not charge any fees or in any way restrict you from using pdf, not only that but they have the complete spec available for download on their site (as well as all of the past iterations of the standard!) That is why Ghostscript ps2pdf and all those other tools are allowed to exist.
The flash for graphics thing was probably an anti-theft mechanism. Unlike JPG or GIF you can't just right click and save as then reuse their IP. There are of course still ways to get at the info but they are almost infinitly more complex.
I prefer something that uses my filesystems native tree format liky Inxight's Hyperbolic tree viewer. This gives many of the advantages of a 3D viewer without totally changing the relationship between files.
p.s. for some reason the demo wouldn't run under Mozilla despite the fact that I know I have the Sun JRE installed correctly. Worked fine under IE6 =( Even worse I know it used to run under Mozilla or else I never would have found it.
Which is of course an essential part of the balancing act between the judicial, legislative, and executive branches that makes our form of government so resistant to abuse.
Nah. Because a judge must ok the warrant the obtaining of a warrant is still relegated to bankers hours when a free judge can be found despite email, faxes, cellphones, etc. There are of course extrenuating circumstances where a judge may be contacted outside court hours but you better have a DAMN good reason to do so.

My personal favorite was a single board computer and CDROM stuffed into a model funnycar, you would lift the hood to insert or remove the CD's.
