In WWII, the HMS Hood was, for all practical purposes, destroyed by a single shell. More recently, the USS Cole was severely damaged and 17 sailors killed by a small craft carrying a shaped charge.
Faults build up stress until they break. The longer the stress builds, the bigger the earthquake. If fracking promotes earthquakes, that means they'll be more frequent, less damaging, and less deadly. I'd rather experience a Richter 4 daily than a Richter 7 every 20 years.
If reporting on a story indicates a bias regarding the story itself...
Although story choice is part of the bias (which stories are ignored are starkly different from NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, MSNBC to Limbaugh, Beck, Savage, Cain, Carr), presentation is also important. Watch and listen to whose speeches are praised, and whose are sneered at and taken out of context.
Recent news coverage of Ferguson, Missouri is illustrative. Leftish news sources have been dwelling on it with the intention of promoting violence (a claim which of course they'll deny, but it's in line with their ideology) while much of the right-wing focus is on those reporting or pontificating on the news.
(Hydraulic) torque converters are at very best 95% efficient, which sucks. Why do you think heavy vehicles with automatic transmissions require a separate radiator for the transmission?
Wikipedia is what it should be; there is no need for it to evolve. Wikipedia's essence is not "big software project", it is "community hyperlinked encyclopedia".
What we're seeing is bureaucratic expansion for the usual reasons, and wasteful development costs to keep engineers interested in not leaving.
If you're on minimum wage, get your internet at the library. You shouldn't be paying over $120/month for food. You probably should walk or bike to work.
It's not that hard to get to a point where you're able to make small, hack-ish changes to an existing program.
Sometimes yes, mostly no. Most programs are so incredibly complex that it's difficult to find the file that contains the code that needs to be changed. Good luck then finding the precise lines to changed (amidst a forest of #ifdef ) and then changing it without side effects. Oh, and in addition to understanding the language the program was written in (often obscured C++), the would-be program enhancer often has to learn Makefile-ese.
I've spent several days looking at "ls" in hopes of making a simple change, and given up in frustration
How about driverless cars the size of a small riding mower, fully enclosed. Good for in-city commutes. Limiting to 30 mph means a stopping distance of 60 feet. Football-shaped bodies to make head-on collisions unlikely.
And if she sleeps in a separate bed, she won't have to listen to him snoring and smell his farts. And if he insists she wear earplugs, she will indeed sleep in a separate bed.
...when it comes to length the problem isn't resistance, it's the capacitance of the wire (which is a function purely of length). The longer the run length the higher the current needs to be to achieve the same voltage.
It's much more complicated than that with high speed signals. I'm not willing to go through all the details, nor can I remember them all. If you want to understand you have to learn about characteristic impedance, skin depth, dielectric loss, etc.. Some coax comes rated with a loss of so many db per 100 feet, and that's determined mostly by resistance (at frequency) divided by characteristic impedance.
Let's assume it's like a some Bowie knives (inlaid copper strip catches opponent's blade), and that once two light saber beams touch they can't slide against each other.
If you'd bothered to read TFA you could have examined the graph of external quantum efficiency vs wavelength, which shows a relative efficiency improvement from about 33% to about 40%. That's 0.33 * 1.22 = 0.4.

When Nixon ended the draft, SDS, the murderous leftist student organization, floundered around for a new issue. They hit on environmentalism...

There are at least 20 isotopes of plutonium, with half-lives from under 1 microsecond to 80 million years. Do you have a particular one in mind?

Most importantly, find a roommate.

You have no idea what "earn" means.
Your problem is San Francisco, not buses. In Los Angeles, even in midsummer crowded buses don't smell bad.

One problem is that partner A will consider as part of A's contribution things partner B doesn't care about, and vice versa.
A: "Dear, I spend 50 hours a week keeping the house clean."
B: "Why bother? When I lived alone, I spent 5 hours a year keeping the house clean."
B: "I just mowed the lawn and risked my life cutting that dead branch off the big tree."
A: "Why won't you help me in the garden?"
Shock value, by those who think that somebody will find it shocking.

IIRC, Arthur C. Clarke's analogy was that HAL was afraid because he'd never slept before.
Brilliant! A worthy successor to Hardware Wars, with echoes of the end of Blazing Saddles.
I thought the new light saber version was Christian symbolism.
Yes, but agar works better.

Typical photovoltaic is unconcentrated single crystal silicon, the best daylight efficiency for which is 25%. Typical production devices are less, generally no better than 22%.http://www.solarplaza.com/article/1975-2013-all-solar-efficiency-records-in-one-char
That's not how ad hominem works. It's "you're bad, therefor your argument is false."
As contrasted with a self-serving democrat who has never run a business.
