Are we talking about the fountain of 511keV positron/electron annihilation photons from the galactic poles, or are we talking some exotic gammas from an Neutralino annihilation?
Everyone else in the fray is already simulating nuclear weapon designs on supercomputers.
The hydrodynamic calculations are similar enough the military isn't going to share code with the hyperflight guys, so this will just become another black project to be run by the same people.:)
This just gives justification for the research disappearing, and stopping any amateur work.
Yeah, I thought Iran or another ME country would Nuke Israel, thus breaking...
the rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in gives way and suddenly it's day again the sun is in the east even though the day is done two suns in the sunset hmmmmmmmmm could be the human race is run...
I digress.
So: No, no Jihadi Idalist, just a Psycho Ex-KGB Agent with delusions of Stalin.
It's nice that we haven't downblended all the Plutonium and Uranium we bought from them; we may need it.
It's nice to know, in the world of Nuclear Overkill, One Trident sub is #3 on the list of "Most Nuclear Weapons".
It's sad to know, that MAD only works with Sane People.
How much fuel does it take to put a kg of DU on Mars? I would bet it's substantial.
Not only do you have to get it off Earth, You have to slow it down at the end of the trip, unless you want to dig it up and recast it, lol. "Shielding Shipped Separately.":)
Not to mention the fact that a solid foot of DU won't "stop" Cosmics; I see ~4V pulses, ~1 per minute most times on systems that see a 511kev pulse at about 200mV. Dealing with that is an important part of a design, lol.
That's just the amount of energy it was able to dump in my detector after going thru a foot or so of lead; it kept going.:)
I've been ocing processors for years now; I've never felt comfortable letting even the die temp get that hot.
I've ran a i7-920 at ~5.5G for a few seconds, it only hit 80C before it turned off. It still runs; most 920s are good for 4.3-4.6 on a good heatpipe heatsink.
I'm running a 3930k now at 4.6G; it only has issues ripping DVD's, for some reason. It won't do that over ~4.2G.
I'm using a few year old 6x 6mm heatpipes in a copper base; it even has a "Black nickel" finish, so the copper fins won't corrode.
I never run above 60C with stable clocks, usually...
Slashdot Mirror
...were made of fused quartz, because UV wont go thru normal glass.
That's why the erasable ones were so expensive.
lol.
I have had numerous problems with counterfeit transistors and Zener diodes.
How can you profitably screen thousands of rectifier diodes for their zener point, then grind off the original markings, and mold on new partnumbers??
At $0.003 each?
At least the transistors failed spectacularly. :)
That was what was unclear; thanks. :)
idrtfa.
Cool beans; tell him I said hey; and he was right about those chicks. :)
Great job on the whole moving out of the domes thing; how's R. Daneel?

Inquiring minds want to know... :)
Rage is fun; of course, I only paid 9.99 for it, so I didn't feel screwed.
If I'd paid 60, I'd be pissed.
I recently replayed DNF, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered, lol.
Sir! We have a problem!
There is a dedicated team of hackers attempting to plant a virus in our main system.
We think it's a team led by Jeff Goldblum and the Android from Star Trek; Arnold help us if Mr Crusher is involved as well!
Cancel concern; they had a nuke with them with an easy pal code. We lost 10000 units, NBD.

They are the modern Gestapo; Orwell just missed it by a few years.
The future will be the image from the book:
A Boot, Stamping on a Face, Forever.
Yeah, this caught my eye as well. :)

The pump is Bad... :)
...Due largely to the information they have on everyone.
"Sure would hate to see something about XXXXXXX XXXXXX come out just before the election, Mr. Senator."
I feel certain it will get worse before it gets better.

Seriously, what processor will run that hot?
As I mentioned above, almost everyone over 50 in the US was vaccinated in the 60's.
We lined up in school, lol.
I still have my scar. :)
Large numbers of people in the US were vaccinated for smallpox in the 60's; pretty much everyone over 50 or so.
Not so now or anywhere else, either. :)
I read it as IT was the Yeti, implying an imminent attack by a hoard of Pennywise the Clowns Appearing as Yeti.
I'm very happy to see this is not the case.
Carry on with the pedantry.
On how guilty the ones accusing you of treason actually are, IMHO.
Who do you think is the traitor here, Snowden?
I certainly don't think so, and neither do a bunch of other people. We all get to vote this fall. :)
I realize all the good jobs are in the Govt; around here they get handed down from generation to generation, lol.
That doesn't make me any more supportive of the whole Gestapo-ization of America; I think that's a bad thing, personally.
Amazingly enough, this is our most popular game after all these years. :)
We play other games that don't have this fast-twitch playstyle, but nothing else is like it.
Another favorite always played on a LAN weekend, is Unreal Tournament 2003.
Zoom instagib with ~10 players and as many bots as will fit is a lot of fun. :)
That's for after the election.
the "Because we say so." part.
You can't vote out the Gestapo.
I played Q2:Ground Zero for ~6 hours on my lan last weekend; It's still the best for gameplay. :)
We do a "give all" at the start, and one per each kill you make; It keeps the game moving. :)
And I have my own skins, that I made; something not seen since UT2003.
The "Catholic Schoolgirl" bot in UT2k3 was the best programming I've seen, lol.
