What plopez said. If a person wants to end it, by definition he's reached the end of his ability to cope with life. If he doesn't have a neat, civilized way to check out, he's going to find a way that isn't neat and civilized and no amount of "careful selection" and "training" is gonna stop him. And he's well-selected for engineering talent and resourcefulness too, so no amount of "system redundancy" is gonna do it, either.
I seem to recall much debate regarding the the very existence of exoplanets.
I don't, and I'm seventy years old. Do you have a citation for that?
In the Fifties there were a number of claimed detections of exoplanets, and those met with entirely valid rejection because the means of detection weren't up to it. The astrophysics community wasn't saying "There's nothing there" -- it was saying "You haven't demonstrated a statistically valid pattern in all that noise."
You can solve any problem if you define it the way you want...for example, my wife once took a drafting course from a guy who said he'd made fools of centuries of mathematicians by trisecting an angle. Of course, his solution was an approximation, but he conveniently left out "theoretically exact" as part of the definition of a constructive solution. He said he was working on squaring the circle, too...
I'd reserve your hosannas until this kid's magic formula gets published, along with a formal statement of the problem.
Ummm, no. Completely different mechanisms of energy storage. A battery accepts charge with almost no voltage change, while the voltage across a capacitor is proportional to the amount of stored charge. If you want to use a capacitor for storage, both your charging system and your load have to accommodate a big voltage range.
Yes, the later Spitfires were powered by the Griffon (you could call it Merlin 2.0), and a number of those are flying today. Parts are available -- cheap no, available yes.
Probably media-speak for disassembling. In fact, that's precisely how a mechanical engineer coworker once described a 6502 disassembler I'd written in my 8-bit Atari days.
One of the best ways to see a Shuttle landing was via the infrared camera on the NASA feed. You'd see a black & white image, with the nose and leading edges glowing from the reentry heating; then at the instant of touchdown, the tires would switch on like searchlights.
Je crois que non. Our late cat Rasputin liked every part of a mouse but the liver...as you could learn to your dismay if you went out on the patio barefoot.
Slashdot Mirror
How do these principles differ from the art of recruiting old-fashioned, y'know, spies?
We should only catch about 15 pieces of flair.
The people and governments of the world are going to have to wake up
The Slashdotters of the world are going to have to wake up and RTFA.

Also, the past-tense verb that you desire is "copyrighted."
Present perfect tense, passive voice, professor.
This is an achievement in experimental methodology.
In other words, this is Leonard making Sheldon's head explode.
"Mutable choice" was pretty bemusing, too...
engineers who think they are scientists.
Computer engineers who think they're engineers, for that matter...
As a store selling TVs it's future is grimm.
...and another perfectly good English word loses its identity because a TV program was named after its homophone...
whilst global warming has spawned an "industry"
...which is in direct competition with the fossil fuels industry for the same dollars.

Not compared to "Rear Admiral, Lower Half".
And, of course, we also observe Veteran's Day (11 NOV)....
Yeah, that's when teachers, mail carriers and DMV clerks get the day off but if you're only a veteran you have to go to work.

If you told her you could get a 45-degree slope on a 3-4-5 triangle, perhaps she was onto something.

A contestant on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader? once got the question "How many watts are there in a kilowatt-hour?"...
Because they get to redefine the language and you don't. Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel, or bandwidth by the gazigabyte.
