Those guys fell from the fraud tree and hit every single branch on the way down:
- Created their own, "serious sounding" journal for publication - Do not disclose the actual device they claim to have been running - Do not allow independent observation of the experiment - Experiment is an open system (making it SO easy to fake) - Making totally implausible claims that would be too much even if it DID work.
Not only have they yet to prove they did any kind of fusion, they also would not produce energy with the process they claim to do even if they were doing it (trans-iron fusion is not exothermic).
And the really stupid thing is that there will be tons of "sceptics" that have no fucking clue about science that will eat up their claims just because they are "anti-established science". Wankers.
I like McDonalds. I have to admit this are european McDonalds (the ones in the US I have been at looked more like a miniature Ghetto), but once a month or so it does not hurt.
On the other hand, I am 1.85m and 90Kg, so it seems you not liking McDonalds doesnt work out for you, fatty.
They win fake prices set up by banks, names to be confused with real nobel prices, in an effort to leech on the publicity of the real nobel prices and somehow legitimize economics as a science.
I can tell you an example: I was victim to credit card fraud a couple of years ago (I think it was skimmed at a parking lot acception credit cards as a pass).
I went to the police after an unautorized payment was made. They came back to me a few months later with what happened: Somebody in Germany got the credit card data from somebody in california to buy stuff to be delivered to moscow (1 Playstation and a Gameboy). I never understood how such an tranaction was accepted for payment with credit card...). The woman in germany stated to the police that she was doing one of those "easy money from home! Just need a computer and an account!" jobs, getting lists of what to buy for whom.
Some comcept here: Get a few idiots that take the fall, lose a part of the money in the process, but be clean at the end. Just as in that case: The value was too low for anybody really to have consequences.
Well, this surprising announcement comes a week after everybody else reported that they aquired them just to completely shut them down. After december, all user data will be deleted.
If you just get articles from citation search its not obvious why, but if you ever see a print issue it becomes obvious:
They cover a _huge_ range of fields. You can have articles about egyptian mummies, rainforrest status in south america, neutron scattering and virus chrystallography within 20 pages or so.
So people have to write the arcticles in a way that at least readers from most of the fields involved can understand it and see why it is important. Otherwise, it would better to publish it in a publication of a narrower scope.
The only sat imagery in google earth has only reasolutions of up to 15m/pixel. Everything thats good enough identify individual houses has always been areal imagery. I mean, just look at citites, you can actually _see_ the tilt of the scyscrapers not centered in the image (which would be nil for a sat in LEO or above. If you really look around you can even see the shadow the for observation plane at some point.
And just in case: government has kept aerial imagery catalogs for decades. Its not that google invented flying planes with cameras around.
I mean, anything beyond jupiter would be a challenge. But jupiter itself? Hohmann transfer orbit, maybe with a sling around mars (would give very very low boost in deltaV, so not worth the launch window constrains IRL but ok for this)...
Importing an external 3D file in the debug version is surely a nice accomplishment. But he did great care to make it look like it was actually build ingame in his video. Douchebag.
He made it up. Or made a misstake and realized it later.
Fact is that _after_ the famous "not enough space here for the solution" stuff he still did quite some work so proof a _very_ limited subset of the last theorem.
Which does not make any sense if he had had a proof for the superset long before.
They havent been doing anything _but_ buing for the last years. Nearly all things "Google XXXXX" besides search are external aqusitions. Here for some quick reminders where google maps or picasa came from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Google
Its not that hard to understand, right? Otherwise, if you are really dense you could have read the video descriptions:
Flashing points are discovery events, the rest are the orbits of the known objects. And of course discoveries _require_ and observation (more than one, but that doesnt matter on that time scale). They even explain the reason for the patterns.
Well, it certainly was better than the sickass of macos before X, featuring the most braindead "multitasking" this side of an iphone.
And the last sentence: Its always brought up, usually by stupid people and in combination with a car analogy. Guess what, you shut down your car with the "ignition" key, too!
Sorry, you cannot make that claim. Copying OS/2 Warp was just as easy as windows 95. It was just that people did not WANT to copy it. I got one computer with it pre-installed and never felt bad about wiping it.
The problem is that right at the top, where the helium starts to be around with higher probability than all other gases, the thermal equilibrium no longer has to be fulfilled.
Helium atoms can get escape velocity by a single colission with high energy radiation from the sun / solar wind particles.
Well, to be honest, TEX isnt optimal for the kind of papers science and nature publish... you are much less likely to encounter complex formula than raytraces bling visualization.
Well, they are delivered to google with infrared and optical cameras. The second part is of course pure conjecture and not very realistic, but the first is already realized.
Its a meassurement with 1 significant digit. Thats a more correct way than the typicel " about 1 inch (2.54cm)" type conversion that implies a higher accuracy in one type of unit

8mm at 3 miles is impossible with a diode laser. Coherence length and beam divergence simply do not work that way.
A spot size of 4-8 meter, on the other hand, would be typical for a normal, single refocused laser pointer.
But if you consider that the average distance to the surface (for heat conductivity) also increases with R - making it even worse for smaller bodies.
We bought a machine for FEM a few weeks ago (there was budget left for 2010).
4*12 core opteron, 256GByte ram. 12k.
Which is peanuts, pretty much.
So i have little doubt that 1TB Ram is quite affortable nowadays if you have big-iron level money available.

Brain usage would help.
We live in the year 2010. Ever heard of a remote control?
UAV= unmanned aerial vehicle.
Are you blind?
It uses ionizing radiation, which is known to cause DNA damage, in constrast to cell phones, wifi, etc?

And of course not so good for your MRI machine, which will need a 50 million$ refill every year...
