Fortunately the world is pretty good at redistribution. Many countries have started doing it continuously, through taxation. Some are still following the old punctuated equilibrium solution, known as revolution.
It's not such a horrible argument for current fission reactors. They are a medium term solution - easily accessible uranium deposits will run out. It's a much poorer argument against all the different kinds of fission we can probably use... other fuel cycles, thorium, etc. It's a ridiculous argument against fusion. If you had practical industrial scale fusion and you were worried about your lithium supply you'd just get it from sea water.
Dawn Stover doesn't seem to realize that a) unlimited exponential growth is untenable no matter what energy source you use and b) much of the planet is already experiencing negative growth. Virtually all of the rest is heading that way.
Actually, not that many actually ask for transfer of copyright. And most academics completely ignore that anyway. Plus, if you really want to know, you have only to go to a library. Yes, I know it means leaving the basement.
Gliders are airplanes. Perhaps you meant powered airplanes.
Yes, if you look you can find a crappy dictionary that includes jets and/or propellors in the definition, but the good dictionaries define it properly.
Also, your own quote suggests that "first composite airplane" is entirely a subjective title based on how much composite you consider to be enough. And carbon fibre composite at that.
It would be awesome if Microsoft realized they were now the underdog and started making great products and staging a recovery. Sadly, they seem to have decided on the opposite course of action.
On the other hand, I can't type 75+ wpm on an iPad like I can on a real keyboard, but I can do something like 30 (yes, using all eight fingers and a thumb) which is fine for what it gets used for.
Let's see... the first unmanned suborbital space flight was a V2 launched by Germany in 1944. Germany at that time is sort of famous for having different classes of people, the treatment of some making Americans' worst imaginings about Iran look like playland.
The US first launched something into space in 1949. That's twenty years before Mad Men is set, six years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus, and 54 years before Lawrence v. Texas made the remaining anti-sodomy laws in the US unconstitutional.
It seems a country's position on equality of its citizens has very little to do with its success in space flight.
And why are the climate change alarmists vilifying this study?
Because both groups are driven by political agendas and personal beliefs that are largely unconcerned with science or figuring out what is actually going to happen or how best to fix it.
It's "contrary" to the IPCC's mean extrapolation and the even more dramatic predictions on the high end that get all the publicity and people seem to think are "fact."
Sure there is. Back when e-ink was a novelty, there were some big advertising banners made with it. I'm sure if you wanted one you could ask the manufacturer and they'd do a custom job for you.
Saving a little on energy just isn't worth the cost of buying something made in the tens of thousands when you can just pick up something made in the tens of millions.
I suspect it's because classical physics is something we're all reasonably familiar with from our everyday experience but modern physics departs from our expectations in many ways. We know our intuition doesn't work very well with tensor analysis or hydrocarbon structure or protein synthesis, but we expect it to work well with bits of matter flying around. Cranks are just people who mistake their intuition, or deeply held beliefs, for "truth."
Except that, contrary to Slashdot belief, Michelson-Morley type interferometer experiments (there were a lot, not just one) were done to help choose between a whole bunch of theories, some of which predicted a difference and some of which didn't.
The US could theoretically invade North Korea and shut down their ability to do something like that quite quickly. Having a missile that can reach the US means they're safe from invasion.
Oooh, someone invented a robot burger flipper so now we're all doomed? The vending machine was apparently invented in the first century AD, and modern ones have been around since the late 1800s. We could have all moved to buying food out of vending machines a long time ago. It didn't happen. Instead, we used machines to do all the menial jobs we didn't want to, and put MORE people in public facing jobs because we value human interaction. When I was a kid we ate out for birthdays and special occasions. When my parents were kids they almost never ate out. Now, between stops at the coffee shop and actual meals, most people do it multiple times a day.
The service industry includes the financial industry, which was a shadow of it's current self until recently. Not to mention all the people who cut hair, polish nails, listen to you complain about your relationship with your mother, make TV shows and movies, and accost you in hallways trying to get you to buy a cell phone or sign up for a credit card. All of which were either very small industries or completely nonexistent until relatively recently.

You don't trust scientists because a blogger with a degree in journalism writes a silly article?
You're weird.

I doubt it. Wasn't the Wright flyer made of wood and fabric?
That was an awfully long summary to say "it was outsourcing." But the submitter obviously likes to hear himself talk so he gave it a different name.

I tried to stick an SSD in my iPad (I've got the necessary screwdrivers and soldering irons and interface electronics) but it seems it won't fit.
Whoosh....

Because they're morons?
The LAST thing you learn is humility, not the first one.

Sounds like a more reasonable approach than has been used so far.
How do you know? It's quite possible this study refuses to dance at all with the prevailing line of thinking.

You're right. The idea is that the wavelength of the orbiting particle, no matter what it is, has to fit around the lowest orbit.

Yeah, because no woman has ever taken a knife and severed certain anatomy of a male she was displeased with.
Pissing off someone you sleep with is risky for both sexes.
