Unfortunately, MHD is pretty rubbish for submarines due to the existence of the Magnetic Anomaly Detector. That, and at usefully high power levels water starts to break down between the electrodes, creating noisy arcing and bubbles.
This was part of the initial announcement that Win 8 would be available on ARM. Of course x86 applications aren't going to work! You think everything is going to be run through a monumentally slow VM on already underpowered (compared to x86) hardware? Applications written for x86 will remain x86, applications written cross-platform (e.g..NET) will work on both. Not news.
That's akin to saying "this tiger repelling stone works just fine". Airport security, in the long-lines-for-scans-and-patdowns sense, is a load of garbage. It's massively inconvenient and uneconomical, and totally useless if somebody actually wanted to commit mass murder. What better target than several hundred people standing immobile in a confined area?
The AR-15 fires the exact same ammunition as the M-16 assault rifle
Not true. The.223 round and 5.56 NATO, while very similar in appearance, aren't the same internally. Putting a.223 in an M16 will be fine, if liable to be slightly underperforming due to the Leade being different and maybe not cycling properly (often an issue with the M16 family, mainly due to people monkeying around with the gas tube length). Putting a 5.56 NATO round in a cheap AR-15, however, could result in Bad Things happening. At the very least, you'd have cycling issues, chambering issues, and greatly increased wear on the working parts. At worst, you'll have cracking of the bolt, chamber and/or barrel. Yes, you can effectively convert an AR-15 into an M-16. By the time you've done it properly, you'll have a whole new rifle. It's a Ship of Theseus thing.
It's also has only 512MB RAM rather than 1GB and that screen, while wider than 'standard', is also shorter: bad for reading image-heavy books that tend towards 1.41 aspect ratio (A-series).
If it turns out to be easily flashed to vanilla Android, and to have a non-shit screen (the site's tech-specs section doens't even mention, so my suspicion is it's a rubbish TN panel), I'd pony up for one.
European cities (London, for example) are that way because many of them have been in the same place for several hundred, if not a few thousand years. Basically, there's a lot of legacy cruft that has to be kept running and that tends to make everything spread out.
Shot on film, edited on tape. They're blowing huge money on re-compositing the show. Miniature effects shows were likely on film too so should look good in HD, and CG effects were probably rendereed for TV so will either look a bit blurred (probably not noticeable when composited) or be redone entirely.
Don't get ahead of yourself, we're not even rid of DVDs yet! The scanning will likely be done at 6k or 8k, as they appear to have enough budget to re-composit the entire show so I can't see them cheaping out. Higher resolution scanning makes the process easier as you have more to work with before losing actual image data.
There's a checkbox to suppress the dialogue box for subsequent boots. And said 'band-aid' has been my default mode of booting for the last few years without issue. I can't see any argument against using it other than that it isn't labelled "Other Normal Startup".
A SMPS made on slightly above the minimum budget possible should be able to handle a fairly wide range of voltages and frequencies. I have plenty hanging about on or around my desk, and ALL of them handle 110-240v and 50-60Hz. The reason is likely not for consumer friendliness (though it's a nice byproduct) but simply so the same power supply can be sold everywhere rather than having to change the manufacturing process to produce 4 different models.
There are precious few (useful) tools available to track down everything the system is doing, and even fewer to help you improve the situation.
Assuming you're running windows, MSCONFIG handles things that run at startup. It's pretty easy to look through the list and disable anything you don't want.
Or Flourinert. Or Novec. Or Galden. Or Midel 7131. Or Luminon Tr-i. Or Transformer oil (if you can find it and filter it). Or if you're on a budget less than the few thousand these liquids cost, regular mineral oil. Of course, you don't want to dunk HDDs or optical drives in it.
The IAEA? NISA? Both are in the country and sampling. If the government-published figures were far off their figures, you can be certain they'd raise a stink about it.
Depends on what is greater: the energy used to refrigerate the superconducting wires, or the transmission losses of regular wires over the same distance. By heavily insulating and burying the wires you could probably keep the cooling requirements down, and as the wires get longer the transmission losses increase. A trans-continental run would probably be long enough that transmission losses from conventional cables make it unfeasible.
Very impressive h.264 decoding, in fact. Level 4.1, HIGH profile; i.e. can handle mostly unmolested blu-ray data, once the DRM is removed (no transcoding). I'm nabbing one as a media streamer.
The problem is, letters are easy and cheap to deliver. Hell, they can even be sorted and router automatically almost end-to-end. Parcels, however, cannot. Every bit of handling, sorting, etc is done pretty much by hand (with the possible exception of tracking). Normally, high volumes of high-margin mail would subsidise parcel rates, but this is no longer the case, hence the current problem.
Apple has no injunction against any Samsung 7" tablet, and hasn't tried to get one
Samsung itself, along with hundreds of news outlets, would no doubt be interested in hearing your theory. Do you have the slightest shred of evidence to back it up?
Slashdot Mirror
There exists at least one 70mm IB print still in existence, in private hands. Though I can guess whoever owns it would not be willing to let Lucas anywhere near it.
From savant rock-knappers to mere savage spaceship-builders, then?

As long as you didn't leave a Ganymede Rock Lobster in there for a year or so, you're probably fine.

Wait, are you seriously complaining that it turns off Selective Startup when you deselect Selective Startup? Just leave it on!

To clarify: today's solid-state cooling units run off of electricity. So unlike mechanical coolers they do not generate heat themselves
If you've developed a 100% efficient heat-pump, some physicists would very much like to see it.

Um, your link itself explains that Apple sued Samsung first, over "allegedly copying it's products".
