don't need nukes to target Iranian facilities, there's new bunker busters for the 25 meter deep processing facilities and their plants on the surface can be taken out with convential explosives. Be even smarter to let Israel do it, what the heck are we paying them for? ok, that was sorta a troll.
any ground strike will have a bad "downwind chernobyl effect", whether on a nuclear plant or not. with a nuke plant you get alot more, not just the reactor's fuel but all the years and years worth of spent fuel in the cooling pond. anyway, we're talking about the middle east, most of those countries don't have nuke plants. Israel, Iran, who else?
problem is that would only work for twenty five minutes or so, then you've only released a few and after the first one hits the USSR you'd get thousands in return. Preemptive first strike has to be very massive and totally debilitating.
those little kiloton-range fission firecrackers the indians and pakis have? naw. Now 200 one to three megaton thermonuclear devices would be another matter
That's an ice age in important drivers of the world's economy, not the same as global cooling. Global warming could indeed cause local cold temperatures, already there is evidence of cooling of parts of the ocean likely due to melting artic and landed ice/glaciers.
I was speaking of the thickness of insulation, not of the wire. yes, higher current requires higher cross sectional area to dissipate less power. sheesh! But remember the insualation thickness also has to take into account back-EMF for any application, which for higher current on an inductive load goes higher. still, it's about the voltage
but that's the point, anything that spits out photons (microwave or any other frequency), can only be a photon drive, and bouncing the photons internally accomplishes absolutely nothing, it doesn't make more microwaves nor does it increase microwave energy (and I'd like to poke the writer of that article in the eyes just for speaking of near-light speed of microwaves). In short, this "invention" is a load of crap and a waste of time based on a lack of understanding of EM.
just think of the great internal and external ill-will and general hell you can raise in such a place, what fun! remember kiddies, besides the money your employer also exists for your personal amusement
not to worry, the party's just getting started, the california AG and the U.S. congress and AG are starting to look into this, so Dunn may be in for more slow-roasting on the spit.
don't know how health insurance works? Mr. Smith maxes out his credit cards for necessary surgery and followup, a few months later the insurance company decides not to cover some procedures, and Mr. Smith is screwed. Happening to me, actually. Planning my ass.
the answer is, healthcare, biology, nanotech, security and disaster recovery, alternative energy and energy storage, mass transit, ubiquitous networking and communication, hedge funds, supply chain and distribution logistics, and probably not a few other fields I missed.
who says you need an internet or any kind of network to make a multimedia encyclopedia useful? for that matter, you wouldn't even need personal ownership of a computer.
Language has largely lliterate people? Make a multimedia encyclopedia, including articles on how to read and write!
And that bit about academics who look down on contributions from amateurs just frosts me, their sole purpose and job is to teach: providing leadership, correction, quality improvement, and encouragement to amateur contributors to a resevoir of knowledge should be looked on as a wonderful opportunity, not a distraction or annoyance.
the U.S. had its biggest growth, in technology and economy, during times when the populace was much more religious. Blaming the lack of R&D and shortsightedness of our big oil/big corp oligarchy on the fundies is just silly, most of the presidents and executive brnach in the last 30 years haven't been fundies

what if we could record your state of mind at the time too?
anyone could buy it and then resell it in california, just raises the price a tad

almost, it means attack first

The needed thickness only depends on the voltage. Anyway, why talk about households, no big deal for a businesses to have 6000A service at 480VAC.

it does? book, chapter and verse? unless you're pulling Deuteronomy 4:7 out of context.....

well, lets not forget about the batshit insane egomaniac CEOs steve jobs and balmer. well, balmer is like batshit nutjob lite.

well, it broke up, maybe not fall but under new style of management. what is word for rule by mafias?
dude, Russia isn't communist anymore. that government fell. maybe you missed it. So yeah, you'd be hard pressed to call Russia communist!
