I'm pretty sure heat flow issues are also part of the reason. Vacuum is the best possible insulator, whereas helium is excellent at transferring heat away from the spindle.
But this clearly wasn't true in the 40s, 50s and 60s in this country. Rather, the exact opposite was more likely. Conservatism has changed, which is ironic if you think about it.
I would hasten to add that the researchers by and large would be happy to have their research disseminated as widely as possible. This is shown by the fact that in my experience researchers will happily send you a preprint of finished paper if you email them. It is just how things are done. The barrier to dissemination here is the for-profit publishers.
This is simply untrue, certainly with windows 7, and really also with XP for my last several years of using it. I suppose you could say I spent 10 hours a year installing drivers and whatnot in XP, but even that is not an issue for 7. Literally my only problem since installing Win7 has been a bad stick of RAM. Other then that I haven't had to do much of anything other then agree to let various things update now and then.
These structures are effectively 0-dimensional as far as electrons (and holes, since the places electrons should be are treated like particles) are concerned. There is no place for the electrons to go. This is as opposed to nanowires (1D) and thin films (2D)
While I suspect you are picking a school at random to make fun of Kansas, as someone who spent a summer in the KSU physics dept. doing research as an undergrad I feel compelled to defend them. I suppose you have a point if you are talking about MBAs or comunication majors or some other low form of life, but in the sciences state schools, and KSU in the physics department specifically, due lots of cutting edge science and offer outstanding opportunities for students. KSU for instance is home the the JR McDonald National Accelerator Laboratory, and there were a great many undergrads working there alongside the graduate students.
None of those things is going to happen, and budgeting for them is a waste of money better spent on actual space science and astronomy, like the stuff outlined in the new AAS Decadal Survey Of Astronomy and Astrophysics: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12951
While you are correct that is was well known that the world was round amongst educated people and sailors, I think that if you asked the vast majority of random people what shape the earth was 500 years ago they would have answered flat. The whole point of that scene is that while there exist at any time intelligent and/or educated people as individuals 'people' taken as a mass are nowhere near as educated or able to swiftly change worldview based on even readily apparent facts.
The only time this came up in undergrad for me, it was with a math professor of mine, and she really did write the best book in the field. When I later took another class from her, she was writing a book for that too and just gave everyone in the class preprint manuscripts. I think the scenario of the evil professor assigning their own expensive crappy book and cackling is pretty much a made up one.
And yet my students in Japan would always go to a shrine before a big test or a big baseball game. Spirituality in Japan is complex, but I know that doesn't fit your argument, so carry on.
I think that you have hit exactly upon his problem. The game is a Western shooter/simulator, not a historical simulator. If it was historical a lot more of the cowboys would be black for one thing. The Old West of a Clint Eastwood movie is no more real then a sci fi shooter. Which is just as well, since I want to be the guy from High Plains Drifter, not die of dysentery.
As ar as I can tell from the article the resonator is in a supersposition of energy states, not positional states. I don't blame you for being confused though, since the article is written in journalist-speak. The state will collapse upon measurement of the energy in the system.
'2013 First suspect indicted on DNA only evidence, no previous criminal record. New FBI program hailed a major success.'
This happens now in rape cases, to prevent the statue of limitations from running out. They will just indict the genetic material from the rape kit taken on scene.
Also, you need to lay off the caffeine.

Do you know a lot of vending machines that accept half-dollar coins (the size that is large enough for the microSD card)?
Which is of course why the movie is worse then the book, as they left out the last chapter. The 21st chapter, a number symbolic of adulthood, where Alex discovers on his own that the violence of his youth has stop being as appealing, even without external enforcement. In other words, he grows up. Thus the whole meaning of the story is changed.
The OP is in fact being asinine, but that being said I don't Drive on New Year's Eve for precisely this reason. Icy conditions and drunken revelry are a bad mix. If I am not somewhere with public transportation I just stay home. New Years is a stupid holiday anyway.

That goalpost must be heavy.

A live Japanese girl would do that either . Padded bra in the face is not nearly as satisfying.
Also, 'Insightful' not 'Funny'? Really?

Indeed. Currently lack mod points.
It even has a name. The teachers I taught with in Japan complained that they were becoming 'wapuro baka', word processor stupid.

And we respond by cutting down more rainforest and acidifying more ocean...
