IAAPC and yeah I think the controversy was actually about whether the associated gamma rays, and not just the high energy neutrons, were from the deuterated acetone and not some other source sitting around the lab that was radioactive.

The person accusing Taleyarkhan of misinterpreting data was one of his own post-docs. I wonder what that person has to say now? I think it's easy to make allegations and its difficult to shake the effects of false allegations.
I'm seeing lots of parents thinking to themselves... "my kid watches tons of TV as it is... this way they can get exercise..." Mind you, they live in suburbia, but the thought of their kids getting any exercise using technology instead of *gasp* a basketball, frisbee, soccer ball....
Some kids do live in cities where outdoor recreational activities that won't jeopardize their safety are hard to come by. I'm not saying that this applies to your average suburbanite, but out here on the East Coast in big cities its tough for kids, and grown-ups, to find reasonably safe and accessible playing areas. But I do agree, if you live in suburban USA, send your chunky kids outside to play soccer.
Stage 4: I am completely sick of Wii Sports and I want to play some real games. I feel like an idiot sitting around alone in my room flailing my arms around like a retard.
In underdeveloped countries they call that exercise.
I was going to get a Wii but I keep reading on Slashdot that they aren't in stores so I haven't bothered. So you might say that Slashdot is responsible for the loss of interest in Wii.
1/2 mv^2 is the non-relativistic kinetic energy. The mass correction will change the energy rapidly as v approaches c. The mass correction with the Lorentz factor in that expression are needed to get the correct relativistic energy.
The lorentz factor is 1/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2); at 0.99c it will multiply the mass (and energy) by a factor of 7; at 0.999c it will multiply everything by a factor of 22.3.

SCO Vs. Groklaw

· Score: 5, Funny
A few days ago PJ posted a note on Groklaw saying that she is taking some time away from the blog for health reasons;
SCO's lawyers apparently believe that "Pamela Jones" does not exist
I would say that failing to exist would indeed be a serious health problem that you should probably take time out to treat.
Speaking of calm and mature political discussion, since the demise of the Yahoo Message Boards, some guys are trying to re-establish that user base at this site. I'm guessing that this wikia will have a similar user base.
nuclear power is the answer but we have a fairly limited amount of fuel so a complete switch to fission power isn't workable. Everyone has to keep their fingers crossed that the ITER project pans out or other fuel technology for alternative isotope decay to fissile material works out. The latter is getting very little funding, as far as I understand.
yes I was re-emphasizing that fact to reinforce the idea that you wouldn't be able to that much material in a way that would protect it from water and heat. But thanks for trolling my thread. Have a nice day and please drive through.
Either that or find a way to build large scale air scrubbers that simulate plant respiration (stripping the carbon atom off a CO2 molecule and releasing O2), then compress the pure carbon into bricks for use in industry. If it could be done cheaply enough it might not just be eco-friendly, but profitable as well, with the $25 million payment as a bonus.
That is something I have always thought since I was a little kid. Humans do this kind of thing *every* day. Every "invention" we have is a revised,accelerated, optimized and controlled process that the nature already did. I have always wondered why isnt it possible to isolate the parts of the plants that do the C and O2 separation and do it artificially. That way we could *unpollute* the planet.
The problem is that carbon has to be stored and there is no way to store it without some likelihood that the form that it is stored in would be somehow volatile. For instance, if you stored it as graphite you would have to protect that graphite (which would be billions of tons eventually) from catching fire or corroding (by corroding I mean oxidizing by whatever means). If you had it as liquified CO2 then you would have to keep it under pressure forever.
The fact is that nobody needs Richard Branson's pitiful 25 M to work on the problem. Work is underway and has been, although the basic facts are pointing to a lack of a "side effect free" solution.
Yes, Martha, I'm fully aware that the Carnot cycle shows that air conditioners cause a net heating of the environment when the heat dump and the cold reservoir are summed. That is to say the above is a joke.

The procedure was shown on the Apple computer commercial.

you can't plant enough trees to take all that carbon in.
It's called an air-conditioner. Duh.

How much will the treatment cost Rainman?
"About a hundred dollars."
Is there any relationship between Chip and Pin and Fish and Chips?
