At least two or threeschemes aim to do fusion with D-D or p-B11... they are more practical than the white elephant in France and make the helium 3 issue moot.
She was Secretary of State for years. She resigned the job years ago. If this issue is really that important, why did nobody speak up after her first couple of months? I'm not saying let her off the hook, but the controversy seems timed for political reasons.
Unless they run on nuclear fusion, zombies that don't eat will stumble around for a few days tops, then weaken and drop in their tracks. I mean, where do they get the energy to run around for week after week? Where's the thermodynamics?
Over the past 10-15 years we've seen the politicians sell the Chicago Skyway, the parking meters, and the red light/speeding cameras to private interests. The money is gone and the city is still stuck with deficits in the hundreds of millions. Maybe the mayor and councilmen should get those jackets with ad patches like NASCAR.
A civilization advanced enough to get here from another star would have better control of matter than we do. Coming here would be pointless; all we have to offer is just more carbon, oxygen and iron -- who cares? Cheaper to harvest atoms and energy more local to them and organize them beneficially.
I think thousands of wounded/displaced Ukrainians would disagree, and the dead ones if they could talk. Plus the families of the people on the downed airliner.
The more complex the system, the more potentially undesirable states you have. Undesirable states take work to remove. Human efforts being imperfect, undesirable states appear spontaneously and accumulate over time, requiring further work.
Calling these things nanobots or microbots is misleading. They're little tubes propelled by hydrogen gas bubbles. No onboard or remote intellegence or control of any kind really. Micro-torpedoes maybe.
TFA says the sample was removed from a display for safety concerns. According to this source, Pu 239 has a specific activity of.063 curies/g. For a 2.7ug sample, that's 0.175 uC. I don't get why anyone thought safety was an issue for such a tiny source.
Human effort is the only thing that requires compensation.
Careful there. Raw materials cost in proportion to their rarity and difficulty in digging them up. Service providers (Banks, ISPs, Telecoms) routinely charge inflated BS fees, which, if charged rationally, would amount to billionths of a cent.Government licensing fees, fines and taxes also have little relationship to reality outside of what the market will bear. In commerce, the relationship between real value and dollar cost is a matter of power politics (CEO vs worker wages).
In a competitive environment, those companies that don't adopt the latest tools to keep costs as low as possible for a given level of quality are eventually driven out of business. Even boutique manufacturers such as Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce have crap-tons of automation.

I'm surprised CIA/NSA/etc can't simply compel a company to open their stuff up to spook software/hardware.
Gloves already connect with chin, jaw, chest, belly...

He masterfully played a character who willfully disdained violence and used his massive intellect for the good of sentient beings everywhere.
But who could totally kick ass if he needed to...

You've no idea what a pain it is to get a monkey to use a condom.
Do geiger counters dream of radioactive sheep?
I don't think Putin's an asshole

Atmospheric pressure on Mars is 1% that of Earth. How're you going to get any lift?
Please get back to work.
Because as we all know the demand for programming is infinite....

"Penny?" knock knock knock. "Penny?" knock knock knock. "Penny?"

Also: How do you keep a 30 kW laser, at any frequency, from blinding everybody in the general direction of the target?
Some of these things work in IR so scattered/reflected light might burn your head off but it won't blind anybody.
