No bacteria will live in silicon oil, and the heat-related degradation and the wick-seepage effect is less severe with silicone oil too - although a good-grade silicone oil is fairly expensive (about the same as a good-grade scotch). Then there is glycol/diglycol (the antifreeze), very cheap and with huge heat capacity. Then there is diphenyl ether. And squalane hydrocarbon mix.
Pentagon folks plan on having lots of nukes for years to come so they intend to replace, and they want to have all these new nukes with advanced parameters (adjustable dial-in yield, 500 kT max yield, low weight, narrow cone for ICBM warheads) and the existing weaponised designs that allow them to do all this, like W-87, are pretty difficult on pit manufacturing. With the current very slow pit production rate at Los Alamos (Rocky Flats plutonium machining factory has been shut down by FBI in 1989, the new full-scale factory was not completed yet) they want a new design that is easier to make and maintain.
What they don't say is that the new design will have to be tested which will eventualy lead to renewal of full-scale nuclear underground testing. H-bombs are hard to develop - only 5 countries have them - and no other country will be able to join the thermonuclear club without testing. If India or Israel take the opportunity to test and learns how to build these things, world will be worse place.
Maybe they smoked powdered yeast, enriched in vitamine B-12, iron and follic acid. (I have seen expensive vodka made from soybeans in a nutrition/health store. Not making this up.)
No. No Wallmarts on Kennedy. That is so wrong and demeaning. Because the place it is perfect for The One Kennedy Ice-Skating Ring.
Speed-scating, dance-scating, olympic-scating, musical-scating, gator-scating, downhill-scating (during nights when Earth is upside-down) - all off this could be accomodated. And the best thing is that the Shuttles could land and the Ruthan crafts could still take off - the only required modification would be in the landing gear.
The container that holds the experiment is called a Holhraum...
Just curious - apart from frequent discussions about ion-electron Bremstahlung - do you also get any Gruppenfuehrers down there, on your project meetings?
My highschool buddy owns a sci-fi publishing house "Altair" and computer game company "Altair Interactive". Looks like - he will be able to make some money out of it, finally. (Lawyers are good people, down deep.)
No. The way the truth detection works is by comparing what happens when answering a set of different questions. There are easy ones and there are problemetical ones (like "did you strangle your mother in law?"). You need to have in the easy ones in the mix so that you can determine the baseline for truthful reactions. You need to do this with brain scans too because because people do not have identical brains. (Relatives of autistic people often show MRI abnormalities typical for the autism even though they are not symptomatic).
In old times when StB guys (= Czech version of KGB) trained their agents to defeat polygraph, the instruction went like this: "Imagine some very embarassing moment, some fact about you, something you did that would discredit you, something you do not want to be ever revealed. You don't say what it is but bring it up vividly in your memory when you are answering the easy control questions."
This technique of beating polygraph required serious training - while being hooked up to a polygraph - and it could fail if the tested person was not calm + composed, etc. But the point is that any method has a possible countermethods so we should not be too arrogant about "unbeatable brain scan"
I used to eat fried brains when I was kid and the stuff was served to me. (It tastes just like chicken...no, realy, tastes a lot like scrambled eggs - but brownish. It has an aftertaste that I find disgusting.)
In real authentic Mexican taquerias, you can get 100% beef brain tacos - they call it sesos.
The main obstacle in writing a decent code is usualy the management - their frequent changes of mind (about what they want - which is usualy different from what is helpful to the users) and their "good enough" and "legacy first" attitude. Overreaching ambition is another problem - one needs to limit himself to fewer things to do them well - and the management pressures usualy run in oposite direction. (Salesmanship bullshit never helps, especialy if it starts to influence the direction of your project.)
I think much better approach is to identify these marrow-stimulating factors that are produced by tumors. Once you are able to shut off this signaling (by making therapeutic antibodies against these factors, by developing an antagonist for their receptors, etc), you won't have to mess with fibronectin (which has useful function in cell adhesion elsewhere).
Once, I made mistake of telling my boss that he needed to look for my replacement. (We were all working nights and weekend through, for more than 5 months without letoff - and I did not want to let others down by quiting suddenly.) My boss was instructed by his superiors to make me to put it into writinge - "so that they can officialy start interviewing for my position". On Friday afterneoon I wrote a note that I intended to quit in about 4-6 weeks. The next Monday morning my keycard would not work. A guard + an HR doofus were waiting for me, with a box prepared. The argument was that I "might try" to hire away some other employees. That's why they "shifted forward" my own resignation date. I wrote few letters and suddenly I found a check worth extra 2 months. HR from headquarters called me and explained that they "overpaid me by accident but they did not want me to return the money."
(Btw. I just learned that they are now going out of business.)
So the professional way is: 1) Call your boss home, Saturday noon, that you are leaving next Monday. (So that he will have time to calm down). 2) On Monday morning, bring a cake and orange juice with you. While others are running around looking very stressed, offer them something sweet and tell them that you are really going to miss them.
I was always puzzled why some kids like to eat their buggers. I was told that the bugger taste/nutritional content closely parallels the taste of McDonald sandwiches but I doubted the evolutionary significance of Big Mac. So It is the other way around actualy - we are primed to eat this kind of stuff for our own good and Big Mac is just a surrogate.
1. Loud screeching sounds are known to improve teachers' authority. 2. Most kids deserve it, one way or another. 3. And we could reward the good kids - by turning the device off (briefly). 4. Inventing new and terrifying ways of turning food into slop would become obsolete.

Why getting upset? Are you the missing link?

Vigorous excersize helps fighting cancer. So if the capsaicin suppository makes an overweight octagenerian run..

Jesus though so, too. (Obviously, now they have his towel on display, in Turin.)

Don't make fun of the young Cthulhus, they tend to grow over time

from what I heard, the new GIMPS-found number is likely M30402457. We should see soon enuff.
They better start with developing nuclear propulsion - or they won't get anywhere with maned spacecraft.
