That makes one think. If you miniaturized it enough, you could have characteristics any train operator would die for to have: your train could be in more than one location at a given moment of time !
...of millions of nano-ized steam engines swarming through my home, heating it, doing all the work --- and throwing it back into the 19th century.
Hm. I'll consider growing a beard with whiskers, to fit into the picture.
Hm.
...that although this is not an idiosyncracy of the sole US media landscape, it is still a particularity that the media landscapes in e.g. many European do not exhibit.
Allright. I relativated it. Now what ?
I am on a project for ( smoke-testing ) the core app. of a major european airport. Same problems there. Management, after having been informed, said: "Not a priority".
I guess only their bonuses are "a priority" ? I am thinking seriously of giving pointers to the whole project to Anonymous.
Molybden(i)um most frigging certainly is NOT a "rare earth element". It belongs to the iron group, along with e.g. Vanadium, Chrome, Nickel and, well, yes, Iron. Molybden(i)um occurs in extractable concentrations on almost all locations where iron ore is abundant.
This is opening the gate to the PR people from the major "tech" companies, who - which is a well-known fact - are not nerds.
Also, the "mattering" level of the "Ask Slashdot" discussions will decrease.
Aggregate judgment: this leads/. away from its self-professed core competence of "News for nerds, stuff that matters".
Bad idea,/. !!

Make sure you have management backing - but truly, I am serious: DO make sure you DO have management backing ! -,then get to work. Document as much as you can, then identify the hottest points, fixing them, one after the other. As you make your way through the mess, your understanding will deepen. Ask if you can hire an intern ( ? ).
So, to summarize:
1) get political backing
2) document, document, document
3) fix, in single-tasking mode
4) if necessary, GOTO #1)
For your next career move, this is great to have on your CV.
Science is a methodology for finding truths, not a body of truths.
No, it is not.
There is no such thing as a "methodology for finding truths". There is only such a thing as "a broadly shared view upon what constitutes a way to plausibly describe causal relationships". Science is a way to describe the world we live in, including ourselves, in such a way as to yield reliable results. "Reliability" is defined outside of science; as a matter of fact, we are right here and right now engaged in discussing the definition of "reliability".
QFD.
Your is the strangest of mindsets. "Enemies of the United States" ? "Collecting all data it sends back to us" ?
This is about science, dude. Cool down. The moment is not close for the US to militarily occupy outer space. ( It will have gone bankrupt before that time ).
Actually, a few hundred thousand homo sapiens suffice. That is how many of us are estimated to have lived concurrently with the Neandertal men. We won.

Who emits that judgment ? The poster ?

Yeah, only a steamboat will work at that scale. Air molecules would punch holes through the sails of a miniatured clipper. Alas.

...how this lady chirps for one particular piece of equipment. Who paid her ?
... how Information Field Theory, or IFT, could be applied to computer science ? Or to the totally clueless management above my current project ?

Actually, not. ANY coffee in the USA ( which is not congruent to "America", I am sorry to break the news to you ) is overrated horse piss. QFD
Italy is about to make the Euro zone implode. Correlation / causation ? Hmm...

But the orientation of the orbital plane around a star most probably IS randomly distributed.
Take care. Making too many assumptions has ruined more than one theory. What entitles us to assume this ??

You seem to have accomplished quite the feat: posting a comment that is less intelligent than the non-existent beings you describe. Bravo.

Mod parent up. Math is not reality, only a language that helps us manipulate the world around us. What reality "truly" is, can probably not be said.
