Turing B into He seems like fission, not fusion. Is that what a fusor does? Also, you seem to write that the reaction generates energy. If that's the case, you don't "need" gigawatts, you produce them (from that particular reaction anyway)
Well, POSIX requires CHAR_BIT to be 8, so if you change that it's normal if it breaks. But otherwise to test portability this seems interesting, although it would be most interesting if it could detect when something isn't done right. Most importantly though, you'd need a compiler to target this architecture. For instance, NULL being 0 is usually not part of the computer architecture itself; 0 is addressable on x86, causing this bug: http://lwn.net/Articles/341773/
This led me to look at the wikipedia article for "radiometer". A radiometer measures the strength of the radiation; whether the measurable effect is caused by heat or anything else is not relevant as long as it's proportional to the quantity being measured; in that sense the common toy *is* a radiometer. As for the reason it moves, it turns out it's more complicated than that.
Let's see... 128 bits = 2^128 possibilities 2^128 > (2^10)^12 = 1024^12 > 10^36 Supercomputer we're talking about = 10^18 operations/s Meaning it would take about 10^18s (about the age of the universe) to cycle through 128bit keyspace.
encrypting a DVD in no way prevents you from making copies of it (copies of encrypted bits play just like the original) Typically you can't burn the "key" part of a DVD, so a player can't decrypt the encrypted bits on the copy.
While I haven't used C#, from what I've heard it's vastly superior to Java; so I understand if you like it. However, still from what I've heard, mono is a very poor implementation of.Net. For instance, the VM uses a GC designed for C, and apparently the library is not written especially carefully.
And you do realize that "obscure" and "secret" have different meanings, right? In a usual encryption scheme, the algorithm is public (or possibly obscure) and the key is secret. With physical access to the device however, you can't really do better than obscurity, although some physical devices are really well protected.
is it possible any of the participates were led to believe they would be receiving all or a portion of the money they were counting out? The article pointed out they were posing the experiment as a "finger dexterity test". I think it's reasonable to think that the test subjects wouldn't expect to keep the money. Furthermore, they almost certainly took the money back before doing the pain test.
I love signals and slots. They require a bit of a different way of thinking, and a semi-proprietary compiler (it's open source but still). I'm not against the concept, but, really, stringizing function names? So if you type the name wrong you only get an error at run-time. Bye-bye type safety!
That difference in mass comes is released as energy according to e=mc^2 There's also a difference in mass in the case of a chemical reaction, still according to E=mc^2. It's just that, in proportion, it's much less.
With fission, you have the same amount of matter you started with (same number of nucleons). What you are doing is releasing energy tied up in the nuclear bonds.
names aren't exactly sensitive information Names are actually the most sensitive information, since that's the easiest way to identify you. It's the association of the name with whatever you used it for that's valuable, not the name in itself.
I expect the correlation between campaign contributions and policy decisions is as strong in Europe as it is in the United States. That may be true, but campaign contributions are typically much more limited.
No longer did they have to log in to a VPN and run a very network intensive publishing app via satellite from remote places just to submit the story. Wait. The desktop app was more network intensive than the web app? Were they using X forwarding or something? And the web app somehow doesn't require the VPN? This doesn't make sense.
Gravitational potential energy is another largely untapped resource. While some forms of this like dams and tidal generators have been developed, there is literally an unlimited amount of energy in the form of space-time bending due to gravity. Say what? Dams actually harvest solar energy (solar energy causes water to evaporate and go up). Tidal energy is actually kinetic energy; it is due to earth's rotation (depletion of this energy causes tidal locking).

So a 1.3% difference in radius is "trivially easy to miss" but 4% is "one hell of an oversight"?
(1.04^(1/3) is about 1.013)

What would be the crime?
Obstruction of justice?
Let's see...

Well, Bell Labs is now Alcatel-Lucent, so I doubt AT&T has access to its IP.

I'm glad you're so much smarter than those researchers would couldn't possibly know about sampling bias.

That is, broadly speaking, the way that nuclear fission works.
That's also (speaking just as broadly) how combustion works. What a coincidence.

All this for a mere 50% more! A bargain!
To solve the problem, I always BCC myself. Since my address goes to several destinations it's especially useful.
