I have a real one, and it does the same thing. In fact all of them I have had (including the old flying saucer style from the TiBook era) do that. It's the inrush current, not a defect.
A fake one could be made any number of ways that could be potentially dangerous, If it's made with an autotransformer, it would be possible to have the "hot" side of the AC line connected directly to one or the other output contact. A slightly more sophisticated system has the AC line isolated only by a single capacitor, if the capacitor shorts or becomes leaky, some fraction of line voltage appears on the output. Many old tube radios were made with similar design, and if you touch any metal including the mounting screws holding it in the case, it can shock you, and if well-grounded, kill you. Millions of them were made this way, only a few people were ever hurt/killed.
If it's a "chopper" style power supply, a failure could put anything up to 311 volts on the output.
The wire is plenty adequate to pass lethal current, that's as little as 20 ma. Whether it is actually fatal depends on how well-grounded you are when you touch it.
Perhaps you can take and antenna and point it where you think Voyager might be with this sort of equipment. I am extremely skeptical that you can "track" it, that is, lock on to the carrier and then follow it. I bet you can't see the carrier at all, much less see the data.
Because Facebook can't come after you will full force of arms, put you in jail, and otherwise make your life miserable or unlivable by misusing your information.
I agree, not surprising at all. If Apple does it successfully, Microsoft will come along with a failed and poorly executed copy about 3- 4 years later. Predictable as the Sun rising in the East.
It has no magnetic field now. The theory is that there was an active geodynamo (hey, I have used that word twice this week...) originally as the result of residual heat of formation and radioisotope decay, just like the Earth. Mars, being smaller, cooled quicker from the original heat of formation and has smaller quantities of radioisotopes for the volume, so the formerly molten mantle and core have largely solidified. I think the current theory is that the core is still partially molten but not nearly enough to generate the dynamo, and thus no magnetic field to speak of. There are still residual localized magnetic fields possibly laid down when the global field was still active but then altered by the last bit of tectonic activity (which is also essentially non-existent).
In case anyone was wondering, Iron (Fe) is the limit to what is formed in convention fusion processes because any element heavier than iron takes more energy to fuse than is produced by the fusion. Iron and lighter fuse with an energy surplus, anything heavier requires an energy input and produces a deficit.
Landing on a carrier is much more difficult because the motions of the ship and the disturbances on the airplane are random. In space, the motions of all the objects are highly predictable.
What, you mean that the people of Ghana don't actually need high-speed internet access and would be better off spending their time not getting murdered by roving gang of thugs and warlords, and trying to find something to eat? How will they ever keep up with Game of Thrones? Didn't think of that, huh?
In a related development, Dropbox also announced their cloud storage plan for your personal valuables. They will install lockers along the side of the road, and you can (for a nominal fee) store your expensive jewelry, negotiable securities, collectible items, and personal photos there.
Not correct. If you cannot accurately sense this rate (~15 deg/hr) you will go far off the trajectory in a 10-15 minute boost. It absolutely cannot tolerate errors of a few degrees. Checking for the proper rates is an absolutely standard pre-launch check and typically, any biases in this are calibrated out while on the pad based on the known alignment of the rocket and the lat/long of the pad.
I am not sure about the Proton, but earlier Russian boosters used differential throttling of the engines to control the attitude. The brown is probably excess oxidizer from running it off-mixture to throttle the engine and control the attitude - in this case to chase the erroneous gyro readings.
What you do mean there is no angular velocity? It's on the Earth and the Earth is turning. Gyros for this application can easily sense Earth rate, that's an absolutely classic check for proper operation prelaunch.
This is not about liberals or conservatives (and I am as conservative as they get). And I have owned and own many high-performance muscle cars and sports cars.
The Prius is a FAR superior and more practical car to a Pinto or Nova and it carries batteries. A Pinto is a notoriously crappy car, little better than a big lawn tractor. A Nova is a very crude and simplistic muscle car with nearly no consideration for safety or comfort that could not be sold on the US market today for any number of reasons, most of them good.
I don't have a Prius, but have ridden in them and driven them. They are dandy cars for what they purport to do (and for the record, for the first 100 feet it will eat your small-block Nova for breakfast, MUCH better off the line) and perfectly practical and very economical. No one in their right mind would choose to drive a Pinto instead. The only thing I have found wrong with the Prius is that some of them tend to wander around on the highway due to the "low=drag" wheel alignment, which can easily be corrected.

You are missing the subtle subtexts. "Crocosaurus VS Dinoshark" was better than Citizen Kane.

Safe to say it was one of the dumbest Star Trek premises ever.

Ahem, I hope your toast Jesus reference is frivolous. We all know the only true representations of Jesus are on tortillas.

Global warming is going to destroy the Earth's magnetic field or geodynamo? Is there anything global warming *can't* do?

IT IS NOT ZERO, its 0.004187 degrees per second around some vector. The Earth is turning!

I hear that has 4 simultaneous days in one single rotation of the Earth and that anything else is evil oneness. Gotta get me some of that
This is equivalent to "no matter how much gasoline I pour on it, this fire just won't go out"
Sorry, I am not a
pervert,
alcohol or drug abuser,
high officer in the KKK,
tax cheat,
so I don't qualify
Maybe they didn't care how that would be read outside the US. I know I don't.
the correct syntax is ('coding' .NE. 'computer science')
And you are correct coding is not computer science, and computer science is not a science, it's a conceit to call it engineering.
