There was an article on some PV cell or other at 1/100 the cost. It was supposed to be cheap enough you could cover building walls with it. What ever happened to that one? Searching for a couple year old post with common keywords is pretty futile.
Yeah, but a train usually doesn't move 350 mi/hr.
However, it generally makes more sense for a terrorist to target a train station rather than a train itself, since there's a lot more people. Planes have the (dis)advantage that they are steerable. You could hijack a train, but where would you go? You can't exactly crash it into the Pentagon.
How the hell did this story get past the editors? We already know what kind of worthless discussion will take place as a result. There's no point in discussing all the copious evidence for evolution. Anyone who would listen to such a thing already believes evolution. Fundies only accept one kind of argument, and logic isn't it.
How much do you think people would pay for something like that? Probably not much. But maybe your real customers would be the manufacturers, as a source of advertising.
When the head is vaporized by a 67 kW laser, it's a safe assumption that there will be some retinal damage. I think cataracts are the least of your worries.
Typical religious nonsense. They cannot understand the simple truth because of all the mystical baggage such as the concept of a soul.
People who choose to do bad things do such because it is their nature. Their nature is a combination of their genes and the external factors affecting their physical development.
It's completely fair and just to punish people who were born bad and do bad things. Don't say that the person had no choice what body he was born into. The person IS the body; there is no distinction.
I don't think there will be too many coercions. Why would your [parent/spouse/roommate] bother to force you to vote for a particular person when [he/she] could just log in as you and vote emself. Same ip. Who's gonna know?
How did parent get modded insightful? Durr, everyone with two brain cells and a pathway between them knows the charge is bullshit. It's a simple abuse of power.
Yeah, but the aliens that we encounter will probably consider it an invasion, and start building berserker probes to wipe out any Earthling life they encounter.
We need to penalize people and corporations that patent stuff that has prior art. And if they KNEW it had prior art, then, well, they should face triple penalties.
It is possible to have negative temperatures under certain circumstances, using the thermodynamic definition of temperature, but these negative temperatures are actually hotter than any positive temperature. (Positive) absolute zero is still the coldest something can be, while negative absolute zero is the hottest anything can possibly be.
Negative temperatures are only possible in a system where the number of quantum states available decreases as energy is added to the system.
The difference is a recurring cost versus a nonrecurring cost. If your profit per unit is higher than your per item, you want to sell as many as possible even if you've sunk a lot into NRE.
But I thought that it was said that Microsoft was selling the xbox for lower than the per item cost.

Both this thing and a helicopter produce lift by forcing air downward. The pressure thing is nonsense.

True, but heat pumps are more efficient than resistive heaters.
Unless you are running a server or something, there's no reason to leave your computer on when you aren't using it. It just wastes power.
It's a contest. It supposed to be harder than real life.

No, that's what the media is for. That is, media that isn't in bed with the government.

in the Litestep hotkeys module I actually use the windows key for something useful now.
Forget it. You'll NEVER know. The only thing you can do is prepare for future elections so we DO know.
How much is 1 + 1? And 2 isn't a satifactory answer.

alcohol is definitely detrimental, but the prohibition taught us that the backlash of abolishing it is worse
