I think the parent was insinuating that any matter+antimatter contact starts detonation. No explosive components required, unlike a critical mass implosion rig required by a nuclear weapon. I don't know if this is indeed the mechanism, but I think it follows just as you hear on Star Trek: matter+antimatter contact is a Bad Thing.
If that is indeed the case, then the reasoning goes like this: One must use a containment field that is not matter, in order to keep a ball of antimatter away from all matter. And if the containment field fails (e.g., turn off the energy source), the antimatter touches the matter nearby. By doing nothing, that is, failing to contain the antimatter in a matterless environment, the thing explodes.
While I agree the USPTO needs further reform, they have never been a regulatory agency. They have been a paid service bureau: you pay the fees, you get the registration. It is only this century's massive cultural shift to "game the system" which has exploited the USPTO's resources and capabilities to the maximum.
I had rooms above garage in California with little issue. I don't know if there was anything special, but the garage's ceiling was plain unpainted sheetrock. My sketches were assuming a good multi-layered floor over the garage anyway, for additional noise damping materials.
I will have to drag out the pencil sketches of a house layout I drew as a teenager in the 1980s. It has a LOT of similarities to the DUH, including a tower and interior patio horseshoe floorplan.
Instead of a motif of elongated curvature, though, I was working with hexagons, and mine was a split-level, not a flat ranch. My movie theater was above the two-car garage.
The tower wasn't a plain observatory, but a hollow tower designed for evaporative cooling: a good way to cool the central patio in the summer is to have a high evaporative "swamp" cooler at the top of a hollow tower, and let the cooled air fall down and into the patio area.
However, just like a film negative, a RAW file needs some kind of color processing to develop the screen-ready image. RAW formats typically pack RGBE, CMYB, or other odd sensor data, often in 12 bits per sample formats. These are not directly usable; you must process that data before you can throw it onto your sRGB video card or your sRGB-ready printer driver. In this case, having it called a "negative" is still quite in keeping with the original meaning: the not-conveniently-viewable-and-least-degraded archival form of an image.
Wasn't it a pair of "modified" Oakley sunglasses which Ethan Hunt wore to receive his mission, at the beginning of Mission: Impossible 2? Media, HUD, soundbud, and a self-destruction device. Just a little more engineering...
That's because we never officially started a war. Congress and the President conspired to take on a military action that they call a "war" when it suits them, but never to actually produce a declaration of war, a cessation of war, or any other legitimate status. Who wants the formality of Articles of War (as the Constitution requires) when a blank-check, do-what-you-want, whenever-you-want permission slip will do just as well? Especially when people might then be interested to see an official end of wartime status, so the people and courts know when to resume the normal order of protecting those inconvenient things like civil liberties?

I've done some OpenGL work with SDL's Perl bindings, but the SDL-perl group has been quite fractured over the past several months. Forks, missing maintainers, etc. I finally got texture-mapping to work, but there are some persistent bugs with missing GL constants or missing APIs which have put my spare-time projects on the shelf for now.
This is a shame, because perl's a nice quick way of working through the edit-try-edit-try-edit development process when working with OpenGL and 3D geometrical stuff in general.
I don't want to learn Yet Another Scripting Language just to try out some OpenGL routines, and I don't want to slog through a ton of C code makefile junk either. Script languages are a great help there.
Things change spin all the time. Bang on an iron slug enough times with an iron hammer, and you'll start to magnetize both objects, just from the impacts.
IBM is an applied science lab. They found no value in making Hydrogen reverse its spin, and nobody but a particle collider holds onto one free electron; they're always on the move. IBM found value in measuring the required energy to apply to a certain metal used in their products, to make that metal reverse its overall spin.
Did you actually read the article? Electrons which are involved in an atomic relationship have a magnetic property called 'spin.' This property can be reversed from an 'up' condition to a 'down' condition. Atoms themselves don't inherently have such a magnetic property, but if the atom's electrons are not evenly matched 'up' for 'down', then the atom is considered to be oriented to the majority.
To reverse an atom's spin, one must influence the spin of the electrons. This technique does just that.
How many bits need to flip to turn 0x00 to 0x22? It's only off by two bits. One bit to transpose case for 'h' -> 'H', and one bit to transpose 'D' to 'B'.

It would seem to me that being on the most active list for long periods of time might indicate bloat and haphazard development, just as easily as it could indicate anything else.

If they see a cluster from some company then the BSA will get a phone call.
Most companies forbid employees from signing external contracts, why would a company allow them to submit corporate machines to potentially invasive tests by external auditors? People will click 'no' because it doesn't involve them, it involves their company.
The typical approach is to synchronize the clocks beforehand, and correlate gps track data with capture timestamps after getting back home.
While new cameras offer GPS hookups, I imagine compatibility and logistics is a hassle.
Sometime, there'll be GPS in the camera, but then you have to take pictures with the camera itself in a position to receive GPS signal, and the long camera wakeup times will be even longer.
K I S S. Use a GPS that can be enhanced and specialized. Use a camera that is made for taking pictures. Correlate the data as convenient.
Writing new values to 2^128 data storage cells would require the energy required to boil the oceans. There likely aren't even 2^128 water molecules IN the oceans, though(*), so you will have to construct the data storage cells in some other way. See the metaphor now?

I wish more of the older FFs were ported to newer platforms. (Heck, a generic SNES-on-PS2 emulator would be very cool.) I've never played FF7 but hear a lot about it. This could open a lot of past-their-prime games to a wider audience, much like the Atari classics movement.
Nevermind that the others have pointed out the "C" in the image. At -40, the scales equate. That is, -40C == -40F. So it almost doesn't matter which scale we're discussing.
