Let me just say that fusion power is aweful; we should be using solar power instead.
The difference is I'm about 93 million miles from the reactor that produces "solar" power, but the nearest nuclear reactor to me is about 15 miles away.
What? There's a fusion reactor near you? Then why are these ITER-people wasting theire time and our money to "research" fusion?!
There's a reason why the air smells so fresh after it rained. The rain literally cleans the air by collecting particles on the way down. Rain is far from being clean like the stuff that springs from your water tab.
There was a scientific project which tested if it is possible to just dump the excess energy into a slab of concrete. Concrete has a high heat capacity, is literally dirt-cheap and available virtually everywhere. The question was, how can it be made able to sustain a delta T of several hundert K (about 400K - which rules out water for the task) for a sustained period of time without falling apart.
Maybe they're worried about the radioactive waste that a fusion reactor generates when it reaches it's end of life. After all, fast neutrons generated during fusion will activate materials near it. But as far is I know, these activated stuff will only have a half-life of about 300a. Sure, it has to be dumped in a safe place, but...
The problem is, there's a misprint in the wording. It's not bear arms, it's bare arms. Everyone has the right to bare arms.
I guess that's a relief for every constitution abiding citizen of the US of A, especially in summer. I've been told that it can get really hot in California during that time. After all, bear arms are not that practical as a source of meat.
That annoys me as hell, too. Most of the time, a page misses a search term I entered completely. But I added that search term to rule out these pages. Using quotes fixes the order of search times - that's no substitute.:(
P4 2.8GHz and FF on WinXP. And "rapes" my CPU. So why should i blame it on Intel/Windows?/. is fine on this machine (with JS). And performance is not the only issue Flash, tbh.
The point is, gold can not be copied as private data can be. If a bank loses/sells your gold, you'll notice it as soon you are going to check if it's still there. But data? It can be sold without you ever knowing it.
in my userContent.css to get partial math glyphs from installed STIXfonts. To get every MathML char rendered with STIXfonts I had to disable custom fonts for webpages and set all fonts to STIXGeneral. Unfortunately STIXGeneral seems to be only available with serif. Which isn't all that good for reading text from displays.
Scientific evidence is produced by probing the thing/system science wants to describe. How is it faith to take the basis of this description at face value? How can scientific evidence be revelation if it's tested again and again?
Properties of nature exist independently of what science may know about them. Laws of nature which are required to build weapons are always there, it can't be invented. Dogma, on the other hand, is purely artifical.
Isn't that what the "T" in RTG is for? Since you can't shutdown the decay, it's always warm and in winter you should get an extra few Watts since the temperature gradient is steeper. Just in case if you want to warm sth up (if you really have to).

I found a page at the institutes site which conducted the research project. I'm afraid it's german only: http://www.dlr.de/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-1/86_read-13498/ But there seems to be a whole department designated to research these type of heat reservoirs which also puts more effort into further develop storing heat in concrete: http://www.dlr.de/tt/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-4727/7819_read-12192/

From these sites only two are fast enough that i could use them on my netbook. The rest even maxes out my desktop CPU.

Did you live in a hole in the ground for the last 50 years? Seriously, just take a look at the history of the middle east.
Finally. But how to use them properly with webbrowsers? For Firefox I had to use
math { font-family: STIXGeneral, STIXVariants, STIXIntegralsSm, STIXIntegralsD, STIXIntegralsUp, STIXIntegralsUpSm, STIXIntegralsUpD, STIXSizeOneSym, STIXSizeTwoSym, STIXSizeThreeSym, STIXSizeFourSym, STIXSizeFiveSym, STIXNonUnicode; }
in my userContent.css to get partial math glyphs from installed STIXfonts.

Geeks treating the real world like some sort of math problem is a reductive and mostly pointless exercise.
Logic is futile?

That's the part where "super powered" comes into play.
With this out in the wild, cutting video gets a new meaning. Right beneath paper cuts.
Just yesterday I installed Beta 'cause i had issues with stable. Maybe i should stop my extensive use of Googles services...
Apples and oranges. Emacs is an OS while IE is only a webbrowser.
At least that's how it should work in Windows. AFAIK Linux has in general bad support for screen readers.

Am I dreaming or was this a failed attempt to make a joke related to EVE Online?

That's sth i don't like about /. at all, too. Posts about news in science seldom link to the original article/source.
Yes.
This happened months ago. How is this news?
