Meteoritic iron differs significantly from cast iron (more nickel, less carbon), but your point still holds. An investigation into the hardness of meteorites found Rockwell B hardness ranging from 60 to 92.

Net neutrality rules put greater control of the internet into the hands of the government and large, well-connected corporations like Google, Apple and Facebook. Do we really trust those entities?
Please explain how net neutrality empowers Google, Apple, and Facebook. There is no mention of htis in your linked article; that only talks about government control
Lack of net neutrality puts control of the internet into the hands of Comcast, Verizon, AT&T/Time Warner, et al. I don't trust those entities at all.
What we need most of all is true competition in broadband internet service, which the vast majority of the US does not have.
Science does not say "there was nothing and then a big bang that created existence"; it says "everything was in one place before it started spreading out". That is a theory that can be tested by observation (the true difference between science and religion). So far, it has held up.
Lots of things might have given the Amiga a chance. One of the biggest would've been if a "productivity" (at least VGA resolution, non-interlaced) graphics mode had been added to the chipset sooner (like when the Amiga 2000 came out).
And the IBM folks felt so insulted that they'd refused to even schedule a second meeting? And then went with a different outfit that had never written an OS?
Might have had something to do with Bill Gates' mom serving on the board of United Way with the chairman of IBM.
Computing has the Turing Award, technology has the Lemelson-MIT Prize, Mathematics has the Fields Medal, I'm sure other non-Nobel fields have prestigious awards as well.
As for "the greatest benefit to mankind" that Nobel wanted to recognize, the list of Turing Award winners includes those who brought us personal computing, the internet, and the world wide web.
Batteries, or any other form of grid-scale storage, aren't going to make nuclear any cheaper, nor alleviate the radioactive waste from nuclear plants, nor capture the carbon dioxide emissions from coal plants.
Note that I am not against nuclear or coal-with-carbon-capture. Solar and wind with storage and distribution advances just look like the more cost-effective approach.
Until "The Greatest Generation" – the Baby Boomers – cough-up to reair the damage that they have knowingly wrought on the earth's environment (earth, water, and sky), I will keep on keeping-on like they did.
The "Greatest Generation"--the ones who won WWII--were the parents of the Baby Boomers. Environmental concerns were secondary to defeating fascism.
If you wanted to be remembered as part of a great generation, you'd emulate them and do what needs to be done regardless of the cost, instead of contributing to a death spiral of apathy.
The per capita public spending in the table you are referring to is not the amount spent per person covered by government programs, as you seem to think. It is the total amount of government spending on healthcare divided by the entire population (that's what "per capita" means). Some people get zero health care paid for by the government, some get a lot; this is averaged over everyone.
Likewise, the out-of-pocket amount is the total amount of out-of-pocket spending across the entire population divided by the population. Some people pay nothing out-of-pocket, some people pay a lot, this is the average across everyone.
The correctly-stated conclusion is that the US actually does pay more than twice as much per capita as other nations that achieve similar healthcare outcomes.
Trump was right about Australia having better health care than the US. If his party actually introduced legislation that would repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with an Australian-style system they would have plenty of support from the opposition party.
If you want an actual 2" x 4" cross section, you could order some, but not from a home improvement store. At a Home Depot or Menard's, I'd get three 1 x 6 boards (it'll take some time to find three that aren't badly cupped, twisted, or warped), glue them up, then mill down to the final size.
Not that it did much good. Cellphones of the day tended to leak over onto my police-band radio anyway. And technically whoever blew up Newt Gringrich's reign by publishing a cell call intercepted in Gainesville, Florida should have been prosecuted, but no one was.
Publishing is a different matter, but the couple that actually recorded the call were prosecuted.
They took a plea agreement.
You do realise that ripping DVDs and BluRays is just as illegal as downloading torrents, right? The powers-that-be would just as readily prosecute you as any downloader if they could.
As long as you delete your ripped copy when you sell the disks, your fair use defense would likely succeed.
I think we should go back to vector displays because they have infinite resolution.
In case that isn't a joke:
Assuming a vector display involved an electron beam hitting a phosphor-coated screen, molecular resolution would be the best it could do. Long before that would come limitations on how tightly the electron beam could be focused, and how quickly the beam could be modulated and scanned.
But given the crazy expensive Amiga's introductory price, it's a valid comparison.
It was a couple of hundred bucks cheaper than the IBM and blew it the hell out of the water, how was the price crazy?
I'm pretty sure I paid around $1500 for my Amiga 1000 and 1081 monitor back in 1985. It definitely outperformed comparably priced PC clones of the same era. The CPI inflation calculator says that equates to $3365 in 2017--more than enough to buy a gaming machine that would play everything in 4K.

Although the legal basis is not completely settled, many lawyers believe that the following (and many other uses) are also fair uses: Space-shifting or format-shifting - that is, taking content you own in one format and putting it into another format, for personal, non-commercial use. For instance, "ripping" an audio CD (that is, making an MP3-format version of an audio CD that you already own) is considered fair use by many lawyers, based on the 1984 Betamax decision and the 1999 Rio MP3 player decision (RIAA v. Diamond Multimedia, 180 F. 3d 1072, 1079, 9th Circ. 1999.)
