Yeah, but they're not looking for alot of speed. From the article:
Charles Eriksen, an oceanography professor and one of the developers of the Seaglider, says that such a propulsion system isn't fast. At best, the glider can make about one knot -- slightly more than 1 mile an hour.
But since it will use only one-half watt of electrical energy to produce that speed, Eriksen says the Seaglider has a range of "thousands of kilometers" and remain in the ocean gather data for much longer.
"We can operate one of these for a year and across whole ocean basins," says Eriksen.
It doesnt matter if it is twice as difficult to push the glider through water. They'll just use the same amount of energy, but expect half the speed thet the glider would have in air.
In an E.R. bridge, matter wont survive, but it is possible for energy to. All we would have to do is convert spaceships with people into pure energy. The trick is reconfiguring this energy back to its origional state, i.e. the people and the spaceship.
I dont know if this has allready been stated, but Alpha particles are just helium nuclei with the electrons stripped off. They travel in particle form and get stopped by most objects. I think tissue paper was even mentioned in this post. Its beta particles (free electrons) that are the risk. They travel in wave form and penetrate through the object leaving damage. If you do get some alpha's on you, they can easily be washed away, thusly averting the damage.
I'd have to agree that if you have not read the books yet, to watch the movie first. I read the books first and found myself finding all sorts of little errors and differences between the movie and the books. Ultimately, this made the movie a bit less enjoyable and for lack of better words, good. However, the movies are good and the books are excellent, so dont discredit either.
Unlike Hubble, space shuttle astronauts will not service the James Webb Space Telescope because it will be too far away.
My question is, what happens when things go awry? Frankly, the idea of an unservicable telescope doesn't suit me well. I can only hope that Hubble's mishaps will improve the Webb telescope, but accidents and miscalculations are possible and probabe.
A charge-coupled device (CCD) is a specially made integrated circuit that responds to light. CCDs are used to capture and store image data in telescopes, scanners, bar code readers, and digital still and video cameras. A good CCD can produce an image in extremely dim light, and its resolution (i.e., sharpness or data density) doesn't degrade in low light the way those of film cameras do.
It seems like alot of people here have posted commenting on A Brief History of TIme and The Elegant Universe. So they are probaly the best books. But check out the Wu Li Masters. Its a very interesting and rather eccentric way of describing the same information. At the least its a fun book to read.
It only makes sense that the printer companies would use such ploys. Most people would never take the time to record how fast pages are actually printed, and it is even less likely that someone would try and calculate the DPI.
D&D and Magic and all the other great games Wizards have brought us are probably going to remain the same games, as both D&D and Magic have fundamental rules and structures. However, we probaly wont see as many new games, or rather as many new GOOD games or new additions to the games we allready love. One guy on the post said:
"Wizards is both saving themselves and shooting themselves in the foot. Their cutting their Operations budget and saving a lot on payroll and benefits but they're losing talent. And now most of this talent will go work for their competition.
In truth, if disgruntled employees of Wizards wanted to hurt their former masters the best thing they could do is stop freelancing for them. Leave Wizards no talent to draw from and let them twist in the wind.
Of course this kind of solidarity is rare amongst freelancers, especially gamers."
Chances are other companies will begin to produce the new concepts as the people laid off from Wizards join them.
Electrons dont flow at all through copper. Its a longitudinal wave. The electrons just pass the energy along from one to the other down the length of the wire.
You want to know a really good way to stay awake legally? Combine pop drinks with coffee. Instead of brewing the coffee with water, use Jolt or some other highly caffinated beverage. Dont brew it for taste though.

Here is a site about the pathway sialic acid took through human cells. Its a bit confusing, but informative never-the-less. And here is a PDF of the basic functions of sialic acid. It also has a bit on directed evolution.
I know that a typical LAN party accessory for me has been Bawls a high caffine drink that incorperates Guarana, an herbal energy inducer. Plus, what ever happened to just having coffee?

Mac OS X v10.2 comes with full Unicode support and thousands of dollars worth of high-quality fonts -- including Japanese and Chinese -- and supports non-Roman alphabets (like Arabic, Thai and Hebrew) via improved input and a new Unicode Character Palette.>
Which is a really simple but nice addition. I dont know how many times I've been browsing the ent and run across a Japaneese site. Having dial up, I dont usually feel like downloading 5 mb Unicode translator packs.

Cigarette smoke produces alpha particles. Tests of aplha detectors were nearly of the scales when put to a cigarette. Here is another link to a site about radioactive cigarettes.

Environmentalists and First nation groups are allways uneasy. Chances are nothing is going to happen.

The Dancing Wu Li Masters: Gary Zukav" A book about the dynamics of new physics without mathematics.
The Elegant Universe: Brian Greene" Again, another new physics book with neat pics and no mathmaticas. Specific to Superstrings mostly.
A Brief History of Time: Stephen Hawking" A good book about allmost everything between classical physics and the physics of the last few years. I.E. Relativity, quantum mechanics etc.
Here is a link to the HP Source Forge site. It has a lot of information on Linux printing
