It's my "alma mater". From the "nature" article I gather some bods from Bochum "Theroretical Electrical Engineering" were involved.
So it's "alma mater" but not my department...
I had 2 old Dell Precision M4300 with 1920x1200 displays - those were beautiful. One is now dead but the other still serving my daughter. An 18yo's eyesight allows for really small font sizes being used, so the number of facebook posts being shown at once is incredible (she does lots of work on the laptop too, to give her credit she deserves)
Focus group research has confirmed with a great number of users that people's memory for applications they could possibly want to find in a menu only has a 9-bit index, so "512 should be enough for everyone", right?
... Helium.. has roughly half of the lifting capacity of Hydrogen....
not really, the "lifting capacity" is from the difference in mass between lifting gas and surrounding air. Air is ~29 g/mol, so the ratio of lifting capacity of H2:He is
[(29 - 2) / 29] : [(29 - 4) / 29] = 27/25,
works out at 8% difference. The containment vessel's weight is typically more significant than the gas itself in a lighter-than-air craft.
Balloons with He3 give only 3% more lift than He4, lunacy!
Have hokey windows97 license which has been used very occasionally for years despite "Genuine Advantage" warnings. Since I just upgraded my computer can I swap that for shiny new windows10? I'm not chinese BTW
Facebook shouldn't be so judgemental, why should people's decision to commit suicide not be honoured? How is "save a few lives" a good thing if those lives are lived by people who don't want to live those lives!
Oh dear/. moderation system is going to call the Samaritans on me now...
I like cheap knockoffs just like the next guy, if they effectively do the same thing as the "real thing". If they don't then it's more of a problem. (the stated case has nothing to do with alibaba I believe)
An enormous hole had been made by the impact of the projectile, and the sand and gravel had been flung violently in every direction over the heath, forming heaps visible a mile and a half away. The heather was on fire eastward, and a thin blue smoke rose against the dawn.

Mars' atmosphere is.. around 20 mBar..it's near-vacuum. And vacuum makes for a very good thermal insulator.
"For all practical purposes" is not correct. The thermal conductivity of a gas is near-independent of pressure down to very low pressures, until the mean free path of particles becomes large compared to the distance to the solid where the heat gets dumped.
20mBar and the MFP is still tiny. You need a pretty good vacuum (10^-4mbar or so) in a coffee flask otherwise it doesn't change a thing.
Excel checks formulas for "consistency" so if you have
b1 : = a1+1 , b2: =a2+1 , b3: =a42 + 1 , b4: =a4+1 ,
then the ropey B3 will be flagged up. Of course there are sometimes false positives and you switch this check off or ignore it, and who knows how many false negatives. The message "just say no to Excel" still stands.
the cameras a re supposed to have a 30 seconds buffer that always records, so you get the 30 seconds before you press "Start". That, and the fact that the battery is supposed to last a whole shift, makes them a very interesting device. Where can I buy one of those?
beta radiation is high-energy electrons, not neutrons.
Beta decay happens in certain nuclei, upping the atomic number while keeping the nucleon count constant. A proton flips into a neutron and the spare electric charge flies off with the electron, which has comparatively little mass.
Neutrons are emitted during fission events, a nucleus splits (roughly) in half with a few neutrons left over. These neutrons are generally "fast", i.e. high-energy, and the "fast" in fast breeder refers to the fact that these fast neutrons are used for breeding rather than slowed-down ("thermal") neutrons.

Ok, breaking international law is one thing, but oh my god, Apostrophe Crime!
any relation to Erich Mielke? The old man would have loved a Nest in every house.
So this means we will learn that Israel "officially" has nuclear bombs?

One Big Ad orgy is it.
No ads on the BBC, ever. Or at least until the current Government is done with commercialising it.
That holds in this country, however, content from the BBC website is ad-ridden when viewed from outside UK.

Now I have reason to get one.

Lol ,G+ is ... an ANTI-social network.
G+ suits me fine, I have no friends IRL either.
You insensitive clod. People sometimes go on at me about being antisocial, I think they're being overly judgemental in implying it's a bad thing.
No [r] way!
Kenya imagine a worse country-name pun than that?
Oman that's awful!
