To clear up a point, there is no ban on research involving embryonic stem cells. The government bannded the use of government money being used to fund research using embryonic stem cells. If a private company wanted to use its own R&D money to research embryonic stem cells, it could. I don't believe all government funded research of embryonic stem cells ended either. I could be wrong on this one but I think that the types of embryonic stem cells that were being researched before the funding ban took place are grandfathered in and can still be government funded.
Remember, don't believe the 30 seconds of 'information' shot off in political ads or on the Today Show or Rush Limbaugh. Most political issues are much more complex than the politicians would like you to believe.
Why wouldn't those apps work with a thin client? I've use both schematic capture and CAD/CAM in the past with X terminals. Why wouldn't a thin client machine with a nice big screen and a good 3d card work that did something similar to X or MS Terminal Services. The reason a web browser is lousy for these things is because it is stateless, a very limited 'widget' set and the client side scripting is very limited. You can propose to use something like java which gives you a lot more flexibility, but then why not just skip the browser and use something like Java Web Start and not have all the browser interface cruft in the way.
I can see building codes being updated in the near -mid future (15-25 years) that will require more outlets per wall and adding more 240 outlets in new homes (not just in the laundry room and kitchen, maybe 1 or 2 in every room). Most of the world already runs at 220-240V for all household appliances. Also with copper wire getting more expensive, it makes sense to run higher voltages instead of larger gauge wire or more wire runs in the home (aluminum wire is not a realistic option either, the stuff sucks to work with because to get the same current capability the wire is too damn thick). Cars are going to higher voltages in the next few years, I think newly built houses will also go that way, just in a longer time frame.
Throw SCR's and TRIAC's in that list as well. I see this affecting high power power-switching and analog control circuitry much more than high speed digital logic and CPU's. Depending on the frequency capabilities of SiC, maybe high power RF circuitry as well.
Voltage does matter. For the same power, you can double the voltage and halve the current (P=I*E, as long as the load doesn't have high reactance). Doubling the voltage to 240V doesn't dramatically require more wire insulation but halving the current can have dramatic effects on the gauge size wire required (and wire price).
Unless they put these in large 3.5" floppy disk-like enclosures.
That's a great idea. They could even make them reusable so that you only keep your most used discs in the enclosures. Enclosure isn't a very marketable name though, I think 'caddy' would be a better name.
so it's safe to say that for an average high-school or lower-level undergraduate textbook, you won't lose anything by getting an older edition.
Except when you hand in the homework and find out you did all the wrong problems because they were changed in the newer edition. This frequently happens in the same high-school and lower-level undergrad classes because the teachers/profs. are usually dimwits that just assign all the odd number problems on pages 54-56 and could care less if you actually grasp the concepts behind the problems. Just hope the odd numbered problems are the ones in the back of the book.
The 000 buck is the lowest caliber I would go. I have looked at the concerns for over-penatration and pellets or bullets going through walls and such but I'll take the chance. I've seen the arguments for using birdshot but I just don't buy them. The smaller pellets just don't have the energy or mass to have enough flesh pentrating power to destroy vital organs. If some PCP doped up killer is my home, I want to put him down fast and keep him down. The birdshot might kill him because the doctors can't sew him up and he bleeds to death, but in that time he has a chance to attack me or my family. The 00 buck in center body mass has enough energy to penetrate the chest cavity and destroy his heart and lungs. I wouldn't shoot a deer with bird shot and expect a kill, I don't expect it with a human either.

Solder in Space

· Score: 1
Soldering *might* be useful outside of one's spacecraft eventually. I'm mostly thinking of plumbing solder for running piping, however.
I don't think plumging in outerspace is really feasible. The space pants just don't ride low enough on the hips and I don't know what kind of crazy physics type anomaly would manifest itself when you expose plumber's crack to the vacuum of outerspace.

I think Poland tried this already. The solution they came up with was to go at night.
So his daughter is Kagome from Inuyasha?
He couldn't get affordable airfare after Priceline dumped him.
I know this is getting off topic but oh well.

You forgot the flux capacitor.
For great justice.

Who will be the first to buy the new AMD Easy Bake Oven (tm)?
Where does aluminium fit in?

Try a web-based schematic capture or CAD/CAM then. I would be interested in your results.
I think large doses of methamphetamines would work as well.

Please don't tell George Lucas about this, I can't afford any more special edition box sets. ;)
When I was there they didn't call it the real thing, they called it 'The Clap'.
Well, the article description says it all. The human jobs are being outsourced to robots.
;)
but it should also be very useful for the ISS, allowing astronauts to stay inside when construction resumes.
I read this as the astronauts stay inside the space station and work at constructing their resumes.
