That's the kinetic energy of a flying mosquito per proton. The whole beam is supposed to have the kinetic energy of an aircraft carrier.
But you're thinking heat. Temperature is different. According to the conversion on Wikipedia, 1 TeV is just over one thousand trillion degrees. That's pretty hot.
If Android is going to be open source, you have to take the good with the bad. Also there's the little matter of an antitrust investigation if Google starts leveraging their dominance in one area to control another.
To be fair, lots of these sites could probably use a interface makeover. If a company wasn't lazy and just displayed the content straight from the browser they could potentially add something useful.
Your link goes to a blog post about a game where you try to guess whether an article title is from a real physics paper or an automatically generated one. If you follow through to the "snarxiv," you find out that it only generates titles and abstracts, not papers.
Did you not think anyone would click your link, or do you need some help from Watson?
Colitis and Crohn's disease are autoimmune, so yes, they're going to be very difficult to cure. Cancer and AIDS at least have well identified targets. Wipe out all the cancerous cells or virus particles and you're done. Most autoimmune diseases have the complication that you're still not sure exactly what's wrong, and even if you did know, the cells that are causing the problems are usually also necessary for staying alive.
Titan's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen. That would definitely not be frozen at Mars' distance from the sun. It extends a long way out though, so if you put Titan in a reasonably close orbit of Mars it would probably transfer. And there's lots of it.
Moving the planet might be tricky though. Especially if you don't want to lose the atmosphere.
Most military drones aren't really flown like a plane most of the time. They're more like Mars rovers. Go here, circle this point, kill this. When they lose contact they're quite capable of loitering waiting to get it back, then flying home if they get low on fuel.
The judge found that Cox didn't present ANY evidence that she is in fact a journalist and should be protected by shield laws, which was her libel defense. He gave some examples of evidence she might have offered (but didn't). He didn't actually say anything about bloggers. And it does seem she's probably guilty - even Cringely admits that.
The judge said she failed to bring forth ANY evidence and listed some examples. So by your own admission, most news media, as bad as they are, meets even the judge's example criteria.
Slashdotters these days seem to have a lot of trouble with the difference between "and" and "or". Particularly in cases where the actual logic operation isn't clearly stated, they seem to always assume it's the one that makes the statement ridiculous.
You're attacking the wrong part. The issue is whether she qualifies for extra protection above and beyond her constitutional rights. The court said she doesn't. That doesn't mean she's guilty of libel, just that she doesn't qualify for special protection.
The libel case is apparently still ongoing, but the judge has thrown out her defence relying on journalist shield laws. On the topic of whether she's actually guilty of libel or not, Cringely says:
I am not a lawyer (despite the fact that I look really quite stylish in a three-piece suit). But I have talked to a few lawyers over the years about libel and defamation, and what Cox did in her post sounds like a textbook definition of it.
As evidenced by that little snippet I quoted above -- and the multiple copycat sites Cox created -- it's clear she was trying to use cheap SEO tricks to build a Google bomb out of "Padrick" and "Obsidian." And it worked. Google "Kevin Padrick" and the first results page is full of extremely similar sites with names like BankruptcyTrusteeFraud, OregonShyster, and RealEstateHoax.
Yes, but protection as a journalist should also require that you are willing (and do) take responsibility for your journalistic integrity. If a random blogger fakes a photo or writes something without checking the facts he likely doesn't expect to, and probably can't, be held accountable. A journalist can and should be.
If you're a journalist you need to sign your real name to things and your photo and an address where you can be found should be public knowledge.
As I said, "projectile" can mean anything that moves. By your definition any orbital spacecraft is a projectile with FAR greater range than an ICBM. Clearly this is irrelevant to the discussion.
I'm not arguing with you that an ICBM does not spend most of it's time in ballistic flight (it's in the name after all). I'm saying that it is clear from the context of this thread that "projectile" means an unpowered projectile, as shot from a gun, as in the definition I provided. A ballistic missile (or any other kind of rocket or missile) does not count because it is powered.
It is FAR easier to design a rocket with a long range than it is to build an unpowered projectile with the same range.
"Projectile" can technically mean anything that moves, including something like a cruise missile that's powered the whole way. From the context of this thread, it's clear that "projectile" is being used as in definition 1 here, to mean something that does not propel itself. A ballistic missile has a rocket engine and propels itself. "Ballistic" doesn't imply "projectile."
I think w hat happened is that the drug was invented, it worked, and it was sold. Then later, someone figured out that it works better if the dose is adjusted depending on this metabolite level.
That second discovery no doubt required work and money to test so if you're going to have a patent system that idea should be patentable. I agree the company has aver stepped the bounds by arguing that anybody who administers the drug even knowing about the metabolite is infringing the patent though.

Ah, a philosopher. Who quotes dead Greeks and can't spell "cite."
A little less "adult table" and a little more listening and you might learn something.

There's a very open philosophy.

Does your TV not have the manufacturer's name written on it? Do you not see commercials during movies or non-network TV shows?
It's the Facebook app for your computer!!11!!

If there's actually anything secret in it.
So much work. Just plug your home computer into the USB port on your work computer and have it pretend to be a keyboard. It's a simple circuit.

If your engine cuts out, there's not much else you can do.
The US flies lots of these things all the time. One had to have a critical failure and go down sometime.
Toyota. Funny name that. Almost sounds... foreign. Not like General Motors.
Of course, Chevrolet is a French name.
What's that other little American transportation related saying? Something about Boeing?
Even you're being too generous.

You could buy an Apple keyboard instead.
Crack open that battery and what do you find? A couple of standard sized lithium batteries.
It's also not a projectile.
