The magnetic fields controlling the plasma aren't created by the plasma istelf! They're being created by external electromagnets that are themselves powered by the energy drawn from the fusion. Also, fusion was already created with this technology, several years ago.
HAHAHA! I generally agree with people that say Bush puts his own interests in front of the world's, but...
What is the difference if it is in Japan? They have a lot less room for powerplants, and need it more than France. And that's besides the fact that France is closer to oil producing countries than Japan. So, stop finding fault with America where there isn't one. I really don't think either of my points are that large either, but, still, how is it best for humanity that it's put in France? Just let me take a wild guess here, you're *from* France, aren't you?
For that, we'd need the world's largest nerd bar! Wait a minute! We should create a/- (SlashBar) that uses all of the latest geeky tech to transport nerds into a world were they can have a life, meeting other nerds, all using cyberspace! Wait....
This is probably the worst answer to this, but, if you can't wait for a laptop to start up just to use it, you might want to think about those rackmount screen and keyboard combos. They're expensive*, and I'm not sure if they have a mouse, but if you need convenience!!

Gah, reminds me of a fun ol' presentation I had to give in a public speaking class. Mainly, I was supposed to show the unwashed masses how to install RAM in their computers*. Well, all was going well, until question time, when one of my *ahem* peers, asked me what that "big grey box" was. I just muttered "oh god", and then said, "the computer".
*This was before I decided it would be better if everyone just relied on me, as long as I received a monetary gift for that reliance. Call it a tribute.
Look Troll - READ for comprehension!
There was no scam on the seller's part! No monies were exchanged between the buyer and the seller! None! So, what scam happened? Did the buyer give anything of value to the seller? NO! Then, how is that a scam? The seller gained nothing but satisfaction, and lost valuable time and a three ring binder. The buyer, well, was the real scammer. Your analogy to people giving money to buy a gun that kills someone is also horribly horribly wrong. If the person buys the gun out of his own hard earned money from his job, did his employer commit a crime? NO! Someone giving a person $20 in a Christmas card, which is then spent on a gun to kill someone is also not commiting a crime! That's moot anyway, as he was not perpetrating a scam. Also, saying that he defrauded ebay because he shipped something outside of ebay that was different than what was listed is also terribly stupid. eBay policy cannot, I repeat *NOT*, restrict someone from doing something *outside* of eBay. Your points about paypal are also stupid, as paypal was never used for the purchase of anything, only the receipt of donations. I could almost swear that you're trolling, but I'm hoping this is only a momentary lapse.
I *don't* see that in the constitution? Where does it say it only applies to political speech? Last time I checked it was only freedom of speech, as in being able to speak freely. Sure, be one of those that interprets as you believe the founding fathers would have wanted it to be interpreted as, but, who says your right?:-) Anyway, on to the expensive cell phones, the fact that they're cheap is a byproduct of our capitalist system (which I like, mind you). There was a large enough demand and the technological background was there to produce these things cheaply. So, blame capitalism!:-) And, I invoke Quirk's law, that an intentional invocation of Godwin's law is void.
sorry too then, I'll take you off of my foes list (I'm quick to pull the trigger). Anyway, no, I don't know too much about QM. I'm learning, I just bought a heckuva a lot of Dover books, and I'm reading up on them. Anyway, cya
Look, sorry if you got all pissed off about my nitpicking your nitpick of a post. You *do* understand that not everyone knows QM on/.? Sure, I simplified, sorry if I nitpicked your simplifications (truly am sorry if I did), but jeez, I never once got into wave particle duality, maybe I should have, but, and this is big, does it ruin the point? Anyway, it's obvious to all that you're just pissed off, or why else would you go searching around at 0 to see a comment just so you could flame! C'mon man! Lighten up. I even apologized at the end of my post if I seemed harsh. Anyway, you're devotion to spin is laudable, Karl Rove should hire you! Anyway, to debunk your post, wave particle duality is slightly outdated, sure, it sums things up pretty well, but, it's just a way of describing things, read QED by Feynman, you'll see a much better way to do it, and one that is used more often. Since you obviously know some physics, it should be a good read.
Wrong. If you do the one-photon measurement you see that it goes through only one slit (for interference, it would have to 'split' and go through several slits at once). This topic was cleared a loooong time ago.
That's just funny! You're trying to apply classical mechanics to a quantum world! That is what was cleared up a long time ago, that classical mechanics doesn't *work* in the quantum world.
The first interpretation, created by Einstein, Bohr and other dignitaries of the time, was the "Copenhagen Interpretation" which requires an "observer".
Wrong again. It's not about observers, it's about measurement - or the meaning of it, which is interaction.
But, what measures the particles? The observer!
I believe Feynman has a strange third interpretation involving particles travelling backwards in time, that cancel out the waves of forward travelling particles at specific points in space-time.
Yet again wrong - and it's not Feynmann, either. The 'backward-travelling' particles are actually the 'forward-travelling' antiparticles - the negative energy sets the sign straight in the time phase of the wave function. And it comes from preserving causality in QFT.
Sure, it's wrong, but it's funny hearing someone vehemently applying science incorrectly finally get something right, and something that's *advanced*!
On the other hand, basic interference of light explains all this rather clearly. What a pathetic joke of an article!
Gah, I'm gonna die laughing one of these days. Here, let me imitate you! Wrong! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrt!This was solved a looooooooooooooong time ago! Hahahaha, erk...... [END TRANSMISSION]
Sorry for the flame, I've just been studying up recently! Your post just sounded a lot like the guy in Pop Sci who told string theorists off over "designer" physics. Hehe
OK, nothing works, just think of a tree with 3 levels, 2 nodes in the second level, and an infinite number of nodes (leaves) in the third level, and that both nodes in the second level are connected to each node in the third level.
Now, just to add to my explanation above, imagine that each path has a cost based on how long it would take to travel that distance. When you iterate through the 3rd level nodes, and find out how much it would cost in time for the photon to travel to that node, you can then figure out if they are out of phase or not, and predict the outcome of the interference pattern!
Feynman's interpretation was called the transactional interpretation, and it involved all particles sending messages back and forth through time to each other, to determine how to react (I think). The book Q is for Quantum has a lot of good stuff on that.
Anyway, the shadow particles in the article are just another physical interpretation of Feynman's path integrals. A path integral is just the sum of all possible paths that a particle can take.
Here's an explanation of the interference pattern in the double slit experiment:
Let's say that a photon does travel through both slits at the same time. Now, with the photon traveling through both slits, they follow every possible path. This diagram is just of three possible paths. That second level represents the slits, and the third level represents all posible paths. Now, if those electrons reach the slits at the same time, the will hit the target surface, right in between those two slits at the same time. Now, since it took the same amount of time, they won't cancel each other out like they would if they were out of phase (think of a sin wave and a sin wave shifted +pi added together, equals 0). Therefore, that point is brightest with twice the brightness of one photon hitting it. Now, move to the left or right, and it will take one photon just a little too long, and they will cancel each other out, turning that patch black. This is repeatable in both directions.:-)

Also, the DoD wanted to be able to easily convert interstates into airports, in case the Russians nuked all of the big ones.
Yeah, talk about street-cred, pirating Harry Potter.
What, it was overrated at 0? Jeez, don't mod it down because it wasn't *as* insightful as other comments!

Actually, they'd only need to lower usage by 29.6% to equal a 40% increase in capacity. (7/5)^-1=.714
