It's impossible for US companies to be competitive with a company that can dump its waste behind the factory, work its employees like slaves, and treat its citizens like government property.
Don't worry, the Republican congress is working hard to ensure that US corporations can stay competitive by eliminating regulations on dumping waste behind the factory, working employees like slaves, and treating citizens like government properties.
Unfortunately, there seems to be an increasing frequency of reports of punishments for online posting. The precedent has been set, and there's no rioting against it. It seems rediculous to me, but this is going to continue for some time until some lawsuit strikes it down.
Is there some interesting physics going on, or is this just taping a bunch of cells vertically to intercept more light at a low incidence angle? Surely,that can't be all there is to it, right?
No wonder the news article didn't quote any tweets. There's nothing to quote. Actually reporting on what was written would probably just get people angry about the response, which is probably not their intention.
Unlikely. Most fusion research is done in universities by government grants. Not many corporations are willing to invest in something whose payout is >~ 40 years down the line. Also, fusion research is international now, and China probably won't let some patent troll in some other country stand in its way.
Ok, but aneutronic fusion isn't really a goal right now. It will perhaps be a future goal once D-T fusion is well underway, but right now most research assumes a D-T reaction.
Nothing is ever 100% safe, but there's no question that it will be safer than coal power. Nuclear fission is already an order of magnitude safer than coal. Nuclear fusion cannot melt down, and the radioactivity is low. The worst that can happen in fusion is if a big disruption causes the reactor to break apart. This would be a big economic loss, but I don't think it would be that dangerous, healthwise.
The plasma would collide with the chamber walls and dissipate. The heat load can damage the walls and melt some tiles, but the damage is not catastrophic by any means. Actually, something similar occurs quite frequently, where the plasma slams into the walls, but not due to failure of the magnetic field, but due to loss of magnetic equilibrium from various instabilities. We call it a disruption. There are large magnetic forces on the chamber and supports during this event, but the structure is well-reinforced. Every so often, we open up the plasma vessel and we can see some erosion of the tiles, but it isn't a serious problem in a smaller device like Alcator C-Mod, since the plasma stored energy is in the 100kJ range.
On a larger device like ITER, disruptions are much more serious, so techniques are developed to quench the plasma immediately before a disruption occurs. This will cause the plasma to radiate much of its energy as light prior to the plasma hitting the wall, which will spread the energy out from the point of impact.
People care more about people who they can feel some level of connection to. We can sympathise more with people we resemble (in habits, ethnicity, or...). Poor people may be more likely to give to poor people because they've been there and they know what it's like to be without. I know many poor people will not feel adverse to stealing from the rich fat cats, just as the rich don't give a fuck about street scum. But the situation is asymmetric because poor are obviously more in need of charity than the rich.
Maybe it's immoral to default on an underwater mortgage. But it's just good business. In these situations, you just have to ask yourself, what would JP Morgan do?.
When installing, the software checks the serial number on the motherboard or something. The customer has to contact you for an activation key based on the hardware hash key. Your customer changes its hardware? They contact you and you give them a new activation. If you ever close business, you ought to send out the activation key generator to your customers.
Of course, this can be cracked. You confuse the crackers by uploading your own cracked version with some defects. The cracked version should watermark anything saved. Perhaps include a phone-home function disguised as an automatic updater. Show a splash screen/demo with "cracked by _____" so any employee using the software knows it ain't legit. The cracked version would be good enough for a hobbyist, but it would dissuade use from your target market.

Sometimes, but in this case, the real hardware is supposed to all be American made.

"The only way a smoker won't die of smoking-related causes is if he dies of something else first." That's practically a tautalogy.

There's a big difference, though, between criminalizing an ideology and criminalizing something which is regarded as obscene.
In USA, the FBI and other agents like to keep a close eye on Nazi or KKK groups, but can't actually arrest them until they actually do something.

Timmy, how come you are wearing 6 tags? And where are your "friends" John and Max?
The problem is the people who elected Sarkozy.
you forgot a key part--superconductor.
Maybe men are more willing to accept a conclusion they don't like if they are shown evidence pointing toward that conclusion.

The superconducting coils, in particular, need to be well shielded from neutrons to maintain their superconductivity.

That's just the membership fee. How much is the actual product?
I think that was his point.
Can you site a case for this?
Being physically in front of the computer should grant certain privileges (unless overridden), like mounting plug-in devices,

That doesn't seem right to me. Untraceable currency makes it easier to accept bribes and pay hookers, both important objectives for politicians.
