A valid moral question. Luckily the situation is more convenient. Call something like "suspend to disk", backup the whole state and you have the equivalent of hibernation. Can be "defrozen" and brought back to life anytime.
What process does produce the methane then? Olivine+Water -> Serpentine+Methane+?
So: x*(Mg2SiO4) + y*(Fe2SiO4) + z*(H2O) -> a*(several longish formulas for different kinds of Serpentine) + CH4 + ?
So where's the carbon coming from? I don't see any on the left side? All nice and pretty but carbon isn't all that common outside Earth, and is fundamental for building proteins - that is earth-like life, and there's no methane without carbon.
+1 insightful. A small mouse doesn't take up that much room in the suitcase, a hard-cover notepad for a mouse pad in case you don't have room to use mouse, and even if that isn't an option, fallback to touchpad/trackpoint as last resort. Note the trackpoint is just a kind of analog joystick. Somehow I don't see too many joysticks used for pointer control. I use a standard, full-size keyboard too, whenever I can. I don't carry one around with me though - usually just borrow a spare when possible. The most braindead design in Laptop I've seen is 17" screen, and a tiny laptop keyboard cramped in the middle of huge empty area of the bottom part of the laptop.
After 2-3h of use and tweaking in prefs to switch off "tap=click" I got pretty proficient in using a touchpad in FPP RPG, a simple arcade, and even had some success in FPS. I can't imagine playing an FPS with the clitoris.
Only problem... They would need to add a subdomain for.misc And then it would do what.com does now. You see, there are many sites with more than one kind of content.
AFAIK ZIP was evil because of some patent issues, and that's why gzip was developed. The patent has supposedly expired in the US, but not necessarily in all other countries (same as with GIF). Any info on that?
Not at all. Even less, because sex is sex in many languages, and in all english-speaking countries. The G-PG13-R-XXX rating is strictly american. Way more countries use other ratings for their cinema movies than use a different word for sex.
Building a bigger aircraft was well within german capabilty. Assuming the bomb would be the Hiroshima bomb size. Their calculations assumed something like 200 ton as the weight of the bomb though. Any plane of that time capable to carry that much cargo?
Actually, if Hitler had nukes, he would most likely nuke himself. They overestimated the amount of material needed, by at least an order of magnitude. If this thing detonated near some observation bunker, all the audience would most likely evaporate. And even if they didn't, Hitler would try to lug the bombs by trains to Russia and by seaships (not u-boots) to US coasts. They would be far too big for a plane.
Well, ten times or not, the draft designs of "hopefully workable" bomb were devices weighting about 200 ton. NOT transportable by plane. At best by a ship/train (but if by train, then in parts, to be assembled at the detonation site.)
By all accounts Nazis were closer to developing a working flying saucer than a working nuclear bomb...
Well, over 1/3 of bombs dropped during the Warsaw Insurrection on Warsaw by Nazis didn't explode, and that was perfectly intentional. Not intentional by Nazis though - bombs manufactured in Czech factories, by people forced to work there, were frequently sabotaged to be duds. Then the rebels would take them apart and build grenades from the explosives, using them against Germans - these "home-made" grenades were the most basic weapons for that fight, as thanks to constant supply of explosives from Czech they were more far more accessible than ammunition. It seems the bombings brought more losses than profits for Germans - deep cellars and sewers of central Warsaw were quite efficient shelters against bombs that did explode, and without supply of such weaponry the insurrection would die out much faster.
But that's how the world works. Word processor in memory protection overlay in GUI overlay in multitasking overlay in 32bit overlay in hicolor overlay in some more overlays and you get Word XP which is still basically a word processor and a good typist still can type faster than the computer can accept and output the characters to screen, despite the fact this one works on 4GHZ CPU, and the first one worked on a 4MHZ one. Add more MIPS and programmers will add more overhead.
Found in bash.org Someone did dd if=/dev/urandom of=homework.doc bs=1k count=600 then mailed it to school. Then said the school mailserver must have garbled it. Got A.
No, it's probably mostly because of overblown HDD transfer benchmarks. They love to show MAXIMUM hdd transfers, which are close to ramdisk speeds, because of cache reads, high speed of disk spinning and data density in a sector. Therefore a single, continuous big file read is really fast. But the seek times still suck - physically moving the head takes a lot of time and only the data from cache can be transferred in the meantime. Read speed of multiple small files scattered over the drive will take much longer than any hard drive manufacturer is willing to admit. Even 20 megabytes per second is A LOT. But you hardly ever experience it, because usually multitasking programs access multiple areas of the disk and fight for access time, what causes a lot of seeks and as result, the slow HDD transfer you usually see. The greatest advantage of a RAMdisk is removing the seek times completely, so the 133MB/s is the SUSTAINED transfer speed, no matter how you read the drive and what you access.
Titan was just another material. An airplane factory didn't have orders for planes. But the production must go on, and order sizes for materials should be preserved, otherwise the supply will be cut and renewing the supply channel for given material will be very hard. So they produced shovels. Of titan. For sale, for common people. Costing about as much as a common shovel (and being "common goods", not "luxury", pennies by American standards.) Lighter, a bit more durable, but just a normal shovel. A friend visiting Soviet Union bought one.
The problem with LD is that it's quite small. Still makes sense inside the Solar System, but as soon as we get somewhere above 1000, we start losing touch, not because of the unit, but because of the big numbers - hard to imagine. It's like "you put 5000 grains of poppy in line" - doesn't matter you "feel" the size of a grain of poppy, you'd still find the distance hard to imagine. But as much as I dislike the non-decimal time units, it's about the scale people feel best (at least from some 0.2s up.) So expressing distances in lightspeed-based units gives best feel. Knowing 1 Astronomical Unit = 8 light minutes, Lunar Distance=1.2s, Proxima Centauri is 4 light years away, the current distance of Voyager, about 27 light hours, gives a nice placement/feel of the unit. One day out of 4 years in the basic interstellar travel. How does that compare in "feel" to 37.000 out of 100.000.000 LD?
Judging by what -you- write, you're a troll. See the post above for nice, understandable explaination. Including such "details" like it's not really "speed of sound" as understood in the atmosphere, but "magnetosonic speed", so indeed, completely different laws of physics apply - colisionless magnetic plasma, not physical gas.
ps Any explanation of why you're questions are totally wrong Maybe because simply I'm not questions? (the rest of the sentence seems garbled)

Okay, so what's the deal with GIF then (except it being ancient and obsolete)? It was supposedly the same algorithm...?
Only problem... .misc .com does now.

apple.com@steve.jobs ?

Fission-powered cars?
More likely they considered revealing the plans in readable resolution a threat to Homeland Security...

What about PS1?
I think it would be fabulous...except, where would you insert the CDs?
MozGest required just version bump in .rdf file (then pack the directory, rename to mozgest.xpi and it will reinstall on new startup.)

Neat idea. RAID maybe? :)
Too bad, that now, once it's in public domain, it can't be patented so they probably won't pick it
