this is not gonna end up like the ill-fated Project Orion. That too was a supposed to be a a new concept, but the sucker never got a chance to take off...
Well, maybe it's better for us all... That was pretty cool, though.
Oh no, please ! This question has been asked over and over again. This is treated in details in the FAQs at SNPP, but looks like a lot of people aren't satisfied with that. Quite frankly, this is beyond me.
I mean, come on, isn't it clear the authors never intended to locate Sprinfield somewhere in particular ? But as the fans were asking endlessly about the location, they started to sprinkle the episodes with contradictory hints.
Keep on guessing, people...
Mmmh, there are two ways to go, actually: 1) Magnetic fusion consists is raising the temperature, indeed. 2) Inertial fusion consists in creating a huge local density.
And tokamaks do achieve pressure levels that are equivalent to those found in the sun, thanks to the large confinement magnetic field.
Now, wait just a sec, here. Do you people complaining about having this posted on Slashdot think that somehow, there are two separate worlds: a technological one, and a political one ? Well, folks, there's just one and like it or not, we can't just ignore what's going on around our techno sphere. Heck, I'm not much into politics myself but I don't think I'm allowed to just look in another direction, especially when science and techno get every day more and more employed for stuff I don't approve. So, this news sure is gonna trigger a lot of trolls and flames... Fine. It's stuff worth talking about, anyway.
Frankly, there's no surprise here. Besides the education problem, it's no secret that the advancancement in US science is due, for a good part, to people coming from abroad. But believe me, this kind of story makes you think twice before you emigrate... Well, at least, I do.
Ok, so let's see:
- Koweit City area: circa 17820 km^2
- Earth land area: circa 1.5x10^8 km^2
So, if I'm not mistaken, this gives about 0.01% of the job completed... Way to go, guys !
Not the Curies: Marie Curie died of a cancer undoubtely provoked by her exposure to radiations but her husband, Pierre Curie, got run over by a carriage...

You, sir, are a moron...

your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular ?
... won't believe this until NetCraft confirms it.
...or about 3700 m^2, for us insensitive clods...

Virtual/Multiple Desktops (Yes, there is a difference)
Ok, I know I'm ignorant... Would you enlighten me on what this difference may be ?
I mean, 3 apps ? That's two more than really needed if you can have Emacs run on this thing...
Yep, "mc", "emacs" and "latex" do it for me.
Reminds me of this poor guy who shipped his mac with UPS ground (and yes, the images are still online).
They took care of his computer all right...
... I protect my porn better than that!
That's what you think, eh ? Muah muah muah !

s/taurus/torus/. Oh, and there still is a project called ITER. It's been scaled down all right, but it's still around.

Maybe you'll be happy to know that in french, it's pronounced "Fre-Nel". The "s" does not have any function.
French boy, eh ?
