"Those of us whose advanced concepts of civilization clash with yours are also free to stay here and make their advanced concepts into reality and that's what we choose to do."
At gunpoint? That's the only way to overthrow freedom.
Intermediate color LEDs are available that can improve this problem. It should be possible to even out the spectrum from a large variety of LEDs entirely, if it is worth the trouble of manufacturing all the different types.
You're right. In addition, most of the power in CMOS circuits is dissipated charging and discharging capacitances. For the highest speed processors, CMOS is not used because dynamic (mostly NMOS) circuits are about 4 times faster. Similar power dissipation explanations occur here also.
Your claim has absolutely no basis in reality. Noise in transistors is wideband, not "hum". Furthermore good FETs have lower noise in the audio band than any tube has ever had. The best tubes have noise figures near 3dB (referenced to reasonable source resistances at room temperature). FETs can be below 1dB.
Tubes are limited by the fact that the cathode has to be hot, which gives the tube a high noise temperature, even when the filtering effect of the gate is taken into account. If the filament is powered by AC (it usually is) that is a source of hum. Hum in transistor amps is caused by poor power supply filtering or poor shielding.
High quality creativity. This includes good art, new digital electronics, custom cars... The market for original craftmanship is substantial when the need for mass-produced basics has been satisfied.
Manmade diamonds are superior in quality (freedom from lattice flaws) compared to natural diamonds. This should be the selling point to a woman who thinks she needs a flawless diamond.
At MIT (1970) graduate level courses are available to any undergraduate meeting the prerequisites. If you do the extra work, you can get the equivalent of an advanced degree for the cost of a bachelor's. Of course, you only get the bachelor's diploma.
I bought some GRC ink cartridges at Staples to replace Canon originals. The Canon has a little stainless steel ball in it as part of a conductive path to determine if there's any ink left. The GRC ball is not stainless and rusted.
24 x 36 x (2x90) x (2x90) = 27993600. The factors of two come from line pairs per millimeter. Other considerations such as the irregularity of film and the use of a color filter matrix in digital makes any mathematical comparison difficult.
I love the Foveon idea and the much better resolution it provides. What keeps me from buying a camera with the Foveon sensor is the review I saw that showed it providing poor color reproduction: pure green is reproduced as olive drab.
Yes, the battery solution is massively expensive, however battery energy storage can be efficient. My understanding is that secondary batteries can be 90% efficient if the charge/discharge rate is slow. I would be surprised if the lake storage method were anywhere near 90%. There are pump losses, friction losses in the pipes, and in the linked scheme there is an additional motor/generator loss.
There is no such thing as "Vitamin B". There are different B vitamins, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6, and B12 are the best known. Each has different short and long term safety levels, different for each person.
I have a Matrox Marvel G200 which captures in Motion JPEG (avi) format using "lavrec", part of the "MJPEG tools" suite. Also included are filtering and deinterlacing tools and a good tutorial. Filtering speed is a little faster than 1 frame per second (720X480) and MPEG creation is about the same rate (500MHz PIII). If there is an adequate driver for your All-In-Wonder you ought to be able to use the MJPEG-tools. Reading the source code is educational.
Some ICs are routinely lapped to fit them into packages that require very thin chips. IIRC taking a 1 mm chip down to 100 um is reasonable. This is an industrial process, not something you want to try at home. It's too easy to damage the side of the chip that the circuitry is on. I think the lapping is normally done at the wafer stage of production (just before dicing); most people aren't going to have their ICs in wafer form.
The copying of bugs was the big clue that alerted Cadence that Avant! was thieving. Identical flaws are much more obvious than identical proper functioning.
7 years ago I got my employer to tell me how much their very generous health care program cost. The figure was about $2000 a year per employee. That's not much compared to salary levels.
The "about half" figure is either bogus or represents huge amounts of waste.

Advanced? By what standard?

The US dollar is only worth about half of what it was 20 years ago.

500 gallon tanks of propane for home heating are common in New Hampshire. Truck delivery is about once a month in the winter.

If thermal coefficient of expansion problems aren't excessive, diamond will make an excellent heat spreader for silicon or other semiconductors.

Noone can live anywhere without someone producing. This is not "force" in the political-ethical sense, it is a law of nature.

Cadmium is a nasty poison. So is lead. So is sulfuric acid.
Quality does vary by brand. Poor brands fail sooner and are likely to leak and damage the equipment they are installed in when they leak.
You mean invaded and occupied the building where the fraudulent recount would have taken place if not for the invasion/occupation.

So it's supposed to be an advantage to the U.S.A. to adopt the policies that are causing western Europe to become progressively weaker?
