No, he just claimed that magnetic fields have no effect on electromagnetic radiation, and he's right about it. And it doesn't matter if that electromagnetic radiation is low energy (radio waves), mid energy (visible light) of high energy (X rays, gamma rays).
Magnetic fields affect charged particles (both high-energy and low-energy). So the magnetic field does protect you from charged particles. Especially it protects you from the particles of the solar wind.
Just update the rule to "even digital sum". The digital sum of one-digit numbers (1 to 9) is odd iff the number itself is odd. The digital sum of 10 is 1, which is odd.
While I quickly recognized that "Pi" sounds like "Pie", the only association I have with that is something to eat. I still can't see the connection to porn. However I wonder if Raspberry Pi are squared.:-)
OK, I've now looked up the exact eigenenergies of the Dirac hydrogen problem. And that also is proportional to the electron mass. Only the factor differs (and depends on j in addition to n). And for completeness, I've also checked the lamb shift, and that again is proportional to the electron mass.
The "rest mass" is the quantity usually just called "mass" by physicists. It is used as opposite to the outdated concept of "relativistic mass" which confuses more than it clears. The "rest" mass is calculated from energy and momentum as sqrt((E/c^2)^2-(p/c)^2) and is a property of an object which is independent of its motion. The name "rest mass" comes from the fact that the "relativistic mass" equals it when the object is at rest (provided it can be at rest at all). The easiest is to forget about "relativistic mass" and "rest mass" and do like modern physicists do: Just speak of the mass.
But the binding energy is not independent of the masses. For example, look at the binding energy of the electron in the atom. It is flat out proportional to the electron mass. A zero-mass electron could not be bound at all. I don't know about the nucleus, but I'd be surprised if the quark mass didn't enter in the binding energy.
Fascinating... I should have looked much earlier. There's a complete Linux file system in a tar file (which of course contains an/etc directory). There's also an XML file in it with some suggestive entries:
<DeviceConfig> <Settings> <!-- Brand settings --> <Brand>thalia</Brand> <DeviceName>Oyo</DeviceName> <DeviceUserAgentID>OYO</DeviceUserAgentID> <ForceRegistration>Yes</ForceRegistration> <UserCanExitForcedRegistration>No</UserCanExitForcedRegistration> <ManualFilename>/home/books/OYO I Thalia Neue FW final content.pdf</ManualFilename> </Settings> </DeviceConfig>
So if I understand correctly, by editing that file up front, even forced registration could have been bypassed (however it might not have allowed access to the files prior to registration).
On some webpage (German language) I've even found how to get a terminal to it (I can't currently check, though, because I don't have a MicroSD card available).
Maybe it's even possible to add a better PDF reader:-)
Soon, with the further miniaturisation of wearable computing, you won't be able to tell the difference between a gesticulating drunken bum, and a drunken, gesticulating businessman I've never been able to tell the difference. What is it?
There were no properly spelled instances in the source text. OTOH, given that there was only one misspelled instance, the g at the end is also superfluous.
Who tells you that this information will be used only to sell you books? Indeed, I guess soon the main use of such data will not be to determine what to advertise, but how to advertise to you. You are reading SF? Well, from the pool of ads, select those which use a somewhat SF setting. You are reading romances? Well, there's another ad optimized for that. For very popular books, even ads targeted at the readers of that particular book could be used.
Also, future technology might allow automatic special tailoring of the ads to a specific profile. That's personalized ads in the literal sense.

I don't think rubbing your penis or vagina on an unknown bacterium is a good idea.

No. The Hurd is also free. And without Linux, it probably would have seen far more development by now. Or maybe they'd run a BSD.
No. Science is a method to gain knowledge about the world. Of course science can go away, as soon as nobody practices it any more.
No. While it gets quite complicated, it still remains real. :-)

I'm sure you can use industrial diamonds for this.
So you are eating Schrödinger's breakfast?
Your clothes. Since all clothes are now devices, you are no longer allowed to wear them at the workplace. :-)

"Sorry, we don't allow those devices at the work place."
Christ, 'nice loans', I meant nice lawns. Now when will the computer learn to understand not just what I typed, but what I meant, ha? Ha?
Well, I'm pretty sure they also have nice loans. And when they lose those, they'll also lose the nice lawns.

I've never been able to tell the difference. What is it?
The businessman gets money for it.
Actually, making idiotic statements looks more and more common. If something will look unusual, it is someone making an intelligent statement.
Why spend $2 for an ice scraper? Apple has worked hard on making the iPhone thin enough to double as ice scraper, so why not use just that? :-)
Yeah, it's a shame that we still have no implanted clock which communicates the current time directly to our brain.
Thanks to this Slashdot story, I think the press should already be alerted by now.

With another price point it has good B-movie potential.
Plot: What is a struggling city to do? Gift high-risk vacations to city employees having high-paying pension plans.
With $150 million per trip, those pension plans must be very high paying to make this worthwhile.

The QR codes which pop up everywhere left and right serve the exact same purpose. Strangely enough, they do seem to fill a real need.
