1) Build temperature regulated greenhouse 2) Fill it with higher pressure martian atmosphere (say 10x pressurised) 3) Pump in a "bit" more oxygen 4) Plant sugar cane first thing in the morning thats been kept alive elsewhere before 5) Sugar cane is bottlenecked by CO2 content of air on earth, on mars probably not, but it should create enough oxygen over the day to sustain itself at night. 6) ????? 7) Profit!!!
Im not sure whether that merger would be allowed by monopoly laws around the world, Intel has been in too much trouble already... This would probably be blocked.
Nvidia only has a 5.5bn Dollar market cap, If Intel came out and offered 8bn (an acceptable premium in the current market) I'm sure the shareholders would agree and Intel would have no issues raising the cash...
Four companies did become three, but that shouldnt have any direct impact on the CPU market... Intel has been competing in the graphics world though so that market shrinks...
There was a lot of Oil on the water, absorbing more surface light than water would, heating the air disproportionately. Air traffic is diverted around the area leading to fewer contrails and fewer clouds forming (you should have seen the weather in Europe in spring when that Volcano erupted. Not a cloud in the sky for 2 weeks in London! As a result of the above 2, you get dispropotionate warming, that could easily affect the gulf stream in significant enough ways. Europe being cloudless for almost a month in spring with the volcano doesn't help much either with rain...
A good experiment would be to take a sampling of various types of wildlife--perhaps the ones most sensitive to certain radiation effects--and record the data on a yearly basis. Once the animals stop succumbing to radiation effects, it might be safe to move in, but you're going to have to consider other problems such as plant sequestration of radioactive isotopes.
Either it might be safe, or you might have created radiation resistant super creatures that will take over the world!!!!!!!!!!1111One
You assume that these "aliens" are likely to have the same limitations as us.
The are likely to share this absolute superiority complex of humanity if they haven't been in contact with others. And they are likely to use THEIR method of communication, just because we believe (currently) that Radio is the most likely, that means very little...
Whats to say that they didnt have a low energy period (say an extended ice age on earth) where average metabolisms slowed and lifespans extended greatly at the "later" stages of evolution prior to space-faring?
Once [the Maryland State Police] learned of the video on YouTube, Graber's parents' house was raided, searched, and four of his computers were confiscated. Graber was arrested, booked, and jailed. Their actions are a calculated method of intimidation.
Uhm... The phone isn't locked. You can use it with ANY sim card... I bought a slightly more expensive one on the same kind of deal (nice little touchscreen samsumg) when I lost a phone travelling and still had my SIM.
Uhm... Maybe in the States with a very messed up mobile phone market...
I know you can get Nokias for under 30 bucks...
http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.209-1392.aspx - alcatel do one for 15 bucks. Bluetooth, Colour screen... This is with the manufacturer and the store making a profit.
Don't think profit is the driver on this project though.
I would say it would be economical given that it's the cheapest solution to the global problem... If there was anything that was better for the job for less outlay...
Saturn WAS/WAS NOT economical for what it was (what can you compare to?), the Space Shuttle was NOT given it's job could be done much cheaper with other means.
I don't know why the government doesn't just fund the development of a bunch of nuclear power plants and put them on the coast or on the ocean somewhere.
There's a reason there are no bikes and very few motorbikes - longevity is severely reduced if you choose either.
The Metro, though very good, would not be able to manage if people stopped driving.
Depends on where you live. I'm really hoping the Cycle Highways in London work well, would love to cycle to work, but currently risk outweighs benefits.

And on Earth? Was the life here to begin with or was it introduced accidentally?
Attach to an asteroid and mine reaction mass from that.
How about...

You are trolling.
That article is a joke.
$70 - they only double...
How unbelievably arrogant.

Pi-pi-pick up a penguin (or a few huge asteroids) - would that work as reaction mass?

I'm really hoping it'll be the first step towards something better.
I hate (as a driver and a pedestrian) cyclists around london, I would love to cycle but won't do so until
a) It's much safer for me
b) I won't make life hell for everyone else
Hopefully this is the first step of many.

Economical is a relative measure.
This would cost a bit more but if people are really scared they wont mind higher taxes in exchange.
People ALWAYS mind higher taxes...
The only people I have come across that support Nuclear are Nuclear scientists, and deluded Slashdot posters, indulging in wishfull thinking.

Try cycling on the road in Moscow...

In Moscow its not even close...
is it confidence in the technology or legal requirement?
Thanks for the image, will drop by millenium bridge in 40 minutes if thats ok, looking over the river over cigarette breaks...
The WORLDS population is ONLY consuming twice that? I honestly had no idea that it was so little...
I'm actually waiting on the patent to come throught...
Funding would be welcome...
or this...
