It might not be mush faster than FW-800, but it CANNOT be slower. (as FW just adds an additional layer of complexity, with the drive being sata anyways)
Take a closer look at the data, and read between the lines: 3*10^5 megatons== More than all nukes of the world together.
In that distance (250km), its enough radiation to set everything but a swamp to fire. -> you get half a million km^2 of burning land. Add to this the evaporation of km^3 of crust material, and you will increase the particle density in the stratosphere by orders of magnitudes. Nuclear winter, anybody?
if the boulder hits a ocean (likely), the water vapour would do that job nicely, too. Also the tsunamis would be "deep impacts" style -> EVERY coaster city on the respective ocean will be gone without trace. All other cities will still get enough wave by just what can squeez through. Also, "coastal" has to be taken with a grain of salt, because waves of such an impact could easily travel inland for 100-200 km.
Even LA, SF, and tokyo wiped of the face of the earth alone would create the fall of civilisation as we know it (speak about trillions of investment money being vaporized in a second).
such an event would likely kill 100M-1B people the first hours, and at least half the human population during the aftermath.
I wouldnt outright deny the possibility. While a nuke is really only a small sting to the earths crust, that region is kinda irritated... A penetration strike at the right spot _could_ weaken the crust enough to start a local outbreak, which _might_ cause a chain reaction.
Otoh, you could get as much "fuck usa up" if you just put one of those nukes into the center of each metropolis.
Well, in fact its not that easy. For example, your cheap diode laser is temperature dependent. As the (anti)stokes raman lines are energy shifts from the baseline, using a normal laser will give you different callibrations for different energies. So you want a temperature stabilized one (e.g. thermoelectric cooling with feedback loop). Now you got 1k instead of 500. Same goes for the prisma. You really want a grating, for good results. $2k.
Then every single one has to be calibrated and tested. And then you actually want to make profit.
The barely existing economy of scale doesnt really help much.
gamma knife= bad at best, horrible in practice. There IS NO SAFE LEVEL FOR IONIZING RADIATION. Splitting it in 8 beams only increases the amount of affected tissue. The only reason its in use is that its marginally better than dying.
Bragg-peak of decellerating particles== huge dosage in a very tiny volume, relatively little interaction of the particles during the inition part of ther journey through the body.
And, as i post this right now from beamline 8.0 of the Advanced Light Source in berkeley, i can tell you that biological molecules have nice brought absorption spectra, and while there might by sharp pi-resonances, those are smeared out a lot in liquid solutions (plus, the carbon edge is really crowded, there is no empty space to "design a molecule" to.
Your pin-codes, when your children go to school (and which route they take), where your wife is shopping, when you usually leave your windows open, ect.
All this would be free speech, and to tell it the world isnt a crime... but still lowers your personal security.
At 80 Kelvin, ice will be fine even in ultrahigh vacuum. So energy has to come from somewhere to allow the ice to evaporate. Those headshields are very good insulators, which leaves the sun as energy source.
Sorry, but spaceflight is one of those occassions where there is a rather distinctive difference between weight (N) and mass (kg). Hint: in orbit, the stuff still was 540Kg, but 0N....
Sorry, i DONT WANT to reencode something to mp3 from a 128 kbit source. (especially between different algoithms. Artefacts have the nasty habbit to get amplified by the different psychoaccustic models).
To crack the DRM, i would expect the program to decrypt the file, without transcoding it.
What do you consider "reliable" ? There are usb sticks around that survive driven over by a semi. Flash regularily survives a round in the washing maschine/dryer.
The "ruggedness" of SSD is much bigger than mechanical, although the "soft errors" are yet really to be explored (i.e. aging of flash cells with the lover structure sizes, ect, cell vs controller failure rates, ect).
Otoh, with SSDs, it should be very cheap to create on-disk-redundancy (maybe 2 redundant controllers with fail-over, chipkill for the flash banks, ect)
Just like you will see people buring american flags wearing nikes and baseball caps, your will get khmer rouge organizing their deportations with KonzentaratonCamp v0.21b.
Technology or knowledge doesnt make people better.
Well, the thing is, a _real_ quantum computer would also be to fragile to move. Thats a reality in ultra-low-temperature equipment of the needed sensitivity.
And still, even if they were on-site, if they wanted to cheat, how would you check that its really the QC that does the calculations? Even if there is a cable going into it, who says the real data didnt elsewhere? Or somebody put a laptop somewhere inside the QC?
There is simply no way to verify the claim without taking the whole assembly apart, which of course would be impossible on a single prototype.
(just saying. I dont believe their claims either, but your argument isnt as good as you think it is)
Well, thats obvious. If it takes digital images, you can use _any_ imaging technique. ultrasound/heat imagin/auperzoom lenses... electron microscopes, telecopes, doppler radar. the possibilities are endless.
"instead a kind of special-purpose machine that uses some quantum mechanics to solve problems."
Well, _any_ mosfet based transitor uses quantum mechanics to solve problems (you get real problems explaining band-formation and the influence of substrate doting classically). That statement is trimmed down to be as slippery as possible.

For a 2.5" drive, 1 minute of idle operation costs more energy than a spinup-and down.
