Juries don't necessarily bother with correlation either. The movie Erin Brockovich is a fun movie to watch, and it is based on what really happened, problem is, as I understand it, actual cancer rates in the affected area are below the statistical average.
That science stuff is complicated, I'll vote on the jury based on how I feel. Legally, there should have been a "preponderance of evidence" against PG&E before 1 dollar was awarded in damages.
It could be a for-profit company that charges you X dollars per Y time unit. This would be based on trust, they would never sell or compromise your private info because this would undermine your trust and thus damage their value as well as losing your as a customer.
This might be highly unlikely, but I tried to sell this concept years ago -- could not get funding. And, if I ran it, you could trust it -- not that you necessarily would. In my concept, you also were allowed to get free accounts with some limitations in hopes you would sign up for the full paid account. Once I lost control (death or otherwise), it would be hard to enforce trust, but a culture that understood the value of trust might be inclined to continue being trustworthy.
An company like this could also have "opt-in" advertising, info sharing, etc. and pay you a cut of the value of the info. -- still, no breach of trust. It could also support financial transactions, including the often discussed micropayment -- so they would be additional "profit" incentive that would be comprised if your trust is betrayed.
Too bad the rules don't apply to product managers at Microsoft. If a defect in their product is critical enough to require a patch, the fee for recertification comes out of their budget / bonus / salary, etc. This would be incentive.
Just a movie version, not the real thing. The original Mosaical tables may or may not have had rounded corners, but they definitely had the awesome feature of being double-side. I don't know of any tablet device offering this today.
Ex 3515 Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both sides; on the front and on the back they were written.
I am not a physicist. However, I suspect one practical benefit is that we should be able to reduce the amount of money we spend funding high-energy physics that will never produce anything of practical value. Although new scientific knowledge has intrinsic merit, the percentage of funding for this aspect of pure science has left other science starving for funds. The large hadron collider cost 7.5 billion euros (about 10 billion USD).
Never mind, they are already planning to upgrade it. Nobody ever asks for less money.
The US government does not blow up (kill) brown people.
White people -- Britain, the civil war and Germany being prime examples Yellow people -- Japan Black people -- Relatively few in comparison, but Haiti, etc. do add up, especially if you factor in the deaths due to slavery. Red people -- Native Americans at least got casinos as a consolation prize
No, charity maycome without attachments or requirements. Say I want to have a charity to help drug users - I will most certainly require certain behaviors from the recipients of the charity in order to receive benefits. This does not change the fact that I am being charitable and giving away my resources for no personal benefit.
Pfft, they re-attach fingers these days, so you can cut them off multiple times. A friend of mine claims her father has cut off the same finger 3 times (and had it re-attached three times). Fact is, I believe her, the story she tells is too stupid (and funny) for it to be fake.
There is a bunch of older articles that talk about the shortages, and increased prices last summer and that mention the summer of 2012 is likely to be worse. Chicken little would be proud.
Premise: The Bible is God's book, flawless in the original and preserved perfectly till today.
Question: Does life exists exist on other planets -- Answer: Don't know, the Bible does not mention this at all.
Question: If life exists elsewhere, did God create it -- Answer: Don't know, Bible only explains the origin of life (at least the major forms of life) on this planet.
Seems like accommodating life on other planets will not be a severe blow to Bible believers. Now, certainly some religions that claim to be based on the Bible have drawn conclusions re: life elsewhere, but it is not because the "Bible tells them so."
And unsurprisingly the Slashdot headline fails to note that the program work has been halted and that it was never approved. Doing a little feasibility research is entirely reasonable for the military. That is, assuming they don't waste too much money on something that has serious downsides -- yeah I know, leap of faith time.
Crazy ideas turn out to be reasonable once in a great while -- we call they breakthroughs.
Its not really a surprise. Dogs will eat their own (or others) vomit and crap. Rotten meat is not a problem. rocks and nails, Mmmm good. So, its no surprise that MS will eat their own dogfood -- it's better than other canine comestibles.
Give me free electricity and I can sell you call the butanol you could ever want for $1.00 a gallon by sucking the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen out of the air and ocean respectively. Burns about like gasoline, definitely a better fuel than ethanol. It will take me a few years to work out the kinks in the manufacturing process, but it is just a large scale engineering problem.
You keep hearing about thorium reactor, because a lot of people are convinced it would be a very good idea to do this based on the options that are clearly possible in the near term. Maybe, you should do your own research on the LFTR reactor and see why lots of people think so. And just so you know (in case you did not), fusion will also have radioactive byproducts, expected to be less of a problem than LFTR reactors though.
Ultimately might be able to get LFTR power for as low USD 0.01 per kwh, and there are millions of years worth of it. This excites people, we've never seen large scale energy this cheap or this long-term, not in the history of the world. Fusion won't hit this price for a long time, if ever.
Every large-scale technology has risks. People are killing by falling of the roof installing solar panels. Coal -- you get pollution, explosions and mine collapses -- and plenty of radiation, coal being mixed with thorium and uranium, we shove plenty of radiation into the air when burning coal. People die from natural gas, hydro, wind, wood and candles too.
I just don't know that we can afford to wait another 50 or 100 years for Fusion to be viable on a large commercial scale. There are just not many options that allow the whole planet to have power intensive economies. It is morally wrong as far as I am concerned to decide that others should not have abundant power, while I get to keep mine, or even worse, that no-one is allowed abundant power. Widespread death, disease, etc. will rule.
Bet on fusion, please go right ahead. Bet on solar power satellites, too. Bet on anti-matter production production in solar orbit near Mercury too, but please lets be sure to bet on something very likely to keep us in the game until we get the "perfect" sollution. I.e., Bet on LFTR as a safe bet, if not the perfect solution.
Though I expect you were going for humor, this is an excellent example of something provably and commonly associated with violent behavior. Yet, it would appear that society has somehow managed to avoid "Mad Max" even though beer is not so labeled. Touché

Ahem. Planck Time
So, you are getting at most about 1.85492e+43 FPS with your truck. As a practical matter, anything past a trillion FPS is probably overkill
Hopefully, once they master ice cream physics, they can refocus their efforts on understanding frogurt.

That is a pleasant surprise. Glad you shared.

Apples to apples
Battery efficiency 95%
Power generation efficiency 50-70%
Electric transmission efficiency 80-98%
Assuming best case, net efficiency 0.98 * 0.95 * 0.7 * 0.98 or about 64% for an electric car.
No problem as long as you are mining the atmosphere of Jupiter. Transportation costs back to our planet might bit a little high though.
It will be worth it if you can reheat your burrito without having to walk all the way to the kitchen.
All you need is a 10MW LFTR reactor to supply power for the charging station.
2nd article should have been this one, sorry 'bout that
March 28 article mentions rolling blackouts
March 16 article the projected power shortfall is around 9.3%
There is a bunch of older articles that talk about the shortages, and increased prices last summer and that mention the summer of 2012 is likely to be worse. Chicken little would be proud.

Well, a little war at least in Libya. But, on the plus side, its not a trillion dollars worth of destruction.
