gee, and I was happy with my hypothetical death ray leaving a pile of cooked bones hitting the floor with a clatter. I can't think of any better way to move things forward in multi-species negotiating session with one asshole antennaed green man holding up the discussion.
Well, medical texts on laser ablation give the poop: 320 to 560 KJ / Kg heat of vaporization, after getting to 1600 degrees C with 1.3 KJ / Kg of heating. So 10 kg (22 lbs) of bones * 1.3 * 1600 = 21 MJ to get to point of vaporization, plus the about 440 * 10 KJ = 4 MJ to vaporize them for a total of 25 MJ. So that really doesn't throw the calculation that far off for a total vaporization, does it? Thus we won't worry about the protein and blubber, close enough.
Have you seen the prices of NTP time servers that use CDMA cell communication for time source? The advantage over GPS based (which are also expensive) is that GPS based time source doesn't work so well with antennae indoors or in area surrounded by tall buildings. So I'd just be interested in project that uses CDMA to get time signal (which doesn't require subscription to any provider).
indeed, let's just consider the human body a bag of water. To raise 75 kg of water 70 degrees C requires 4 kilojoules per kg for each degree, so 21 MJ. But then to vaporize water at 100 degrees C is 2.3 MJ / kg or 172 MJ. So our answer is about 200 MJ. A gallon of gasoline is about 130 MJ, so the energy in about one and a half gallons would do the job. Or if your home pulls 12.4 KWhour a day in the summer that's 44 MJ, so less than 3 days worth of summer power
IPCC made dire predictions about global warming driving stronger hurricanes in 2007. but no hurricanes over cat 1 have made landfall on the USA since 2005. here we are halfway through hurricane season and exactly nothing has happened. oops.
The FDA is saying they will take control of e-cigarettes, one reason being that many under 18 are using them. Never mind that even 40+ years ago 12 year olds who wanted to smoke found ways of getting their illegal cigarettes
bullshit, a real libertarian would say if someone wants to use something less dangerous to themselves and others to get their nicotine, let them pay for it, let companies sell it
do you realize how very low the yield of a nuclear explosion from a reactor is? My textbook "Nuclear Engineering - Theory and Technology of Commercial Nuclear Power, 2nd Edition" gives an answer for typical civilian reactor on page 157, about 0.25 kiloton. Meanwhile, the Chinese have five megaton thermonuclear weapons on their ICBM. Conclusion, your posited scenario is silly in the extreme.
pure nonsense, you have bought into the agenda of the mankind-haters. The truth is prosperity lowers the birth rate, the birth rate for those of european descent in the USA is below the rate needed to sustain a growing population. The 2nd derivative of the population growth curve shows the world population will peak in the 2070s around 8.5 billion people then decline. There is thus no problem with babies being born, and even the resource scarcity arguments assume that metals and whatnot disappear from the planet after first use. The crust of the earth is 20 miles thick, no shortage of anything. Of course, if you or like minded people really are so bent out of shape over so many human lives, feel free to off yourself. Take a load of 00 buck in the face for the team.
problem is, you're addressing markets Microsoft never had anyway. Its outlook for market it does have is rosy with only growth in sight - and note this is even with slow economy, wait till it picks up.
yeah, I'm a Microsoft bashing Linux Desktop and BSD Server and Android mobile enthusiast, but the sucky reality is the business desktop and office app world and home desktop world is Microsoft based with only growth projected
that's fine too, they'll keep buying Microsoft since that's what's pre-loaded on almost everything sold. suckers. Remember Ballmer and MS only "in trouble" because their ever growing profits and income are growing quite as fast as they'd like. they aren't hurting at all
I have worked with laboratory grade spirit and mercury thermometers with calibration reports in the $200 to $300 range. Those reports can go to more than 0.5 degrees over the range of the instrument. Your claim of accuracy of hand made thermometers is laughable.
So do you imagine that merely taking the freezing and boiling points and making a hundred equal divisions gets you an accurate thermometer? Look at a calibration report and educate yourself.
We won't even go into the issues of purity of spirits or mercury, or boiling point elavation and freezing point depressions due to impurities in water, or of barometers in that era for determining STP.
Creating an accurate thermometer is difficult, you are ignorant.
There was a global cooling trend around the 70s, so I'm always amused at people who use that time period as a baseline for what's normal. Ditto for "climatologists" who plug in numbers from lip blown hand crafted thermometers of 1900 and then interpolate to have sample density to compare to todays digital instruments in heat islands.

hard to do, I've noticed. the droplets are big and don't go that far. better than cigarette smoke anyway, second hand smoke doesn't dry my eyes out

George and Frederic did performing of another kind together, but would they want a recording of it? I don't think Freddy would go for that

of course, the problem couldn't be your stinkpad is a piece of shit with problems no one use is having. oh noes

$41,000 a year to push the buttons in a modern elevator? $20 an hour?
I see a year and a half of public school for Obama, after he went to Catholic school (isn't that one step lower than public school 8D ? )
wrong, the modern made machine ones have accuracy worse than that. look at the calibration report for one.
you are talking out of your ass
in case anyone was doubting you: https://www.weeklystandard.com/keyword/Senate-Elevator-Operator
and yes, the jobs are in conventional modern elevators that are fully automatic other than the press of a button

look it up already, 7-10 meter asteroid, target of this experiment, absolutely cannot reach the ground regardless of composition, they burn up.
30 meter range is another matter, but that' is not on the table for this experiment
by a bunch of very inaacurate devices for the first 50 years at least

I meant back then in the 16th century of course, as a child I used to overfill glasses and watch that effect though not understanding it.
And there are insects that walk on water though their normal "waterline" when body floating is in their midsection.
You'd think some smart person would have noticed, or maybe a Muslim scientist in the 900s did but their works were lost....
False, there are omissions in your knowlege.

oh, there is a compensation for it but manner in which it is done is not public nor transparent.
you imagine words, there was not a word of denial, only accusations of poor scientific rigor
sigh, another victim of moden education with no reading comprehension.
so Microsoft wants only the agile and extreme to survive, while the slackers get left behind. makes sense to me.
