Now that I think about it some more, the actual speedup will be either.33 (if the bits used to be parallel to the direction of travel of the head), or nonexistant(if they used to be perpendicular).
The areal density will be greater, so at the same rotational velocity the peak data transer rate should be around 1.15 ( sqrt(133/100) ) times as high as before. Seek times might also be reduced (for the same amount of data on the disk), but when both drives are full, I think the seek times would both be the same.
They could use encryption, like WEP or WPA for 802.11b/g. I can't see why they would have more trouble securing the connection than the somewhat above average home user.
It does seem that if you're waiting in line for 6 hours, you probably want it more than anyone else. Why wouldn't it be fair for the people that want laptop the most to get it?
Unfortunately, assuming 36 kWh per gallon of gasoline, and $.12 per kWh of electricity, the equivalent of 1 gallon of gas in electricity costs $4.32. This doesn't take into account relative efficiencies, but electricity is definitely not free.
IE7 will have a broker process that will control access to the outside system. IE won't be able to do much by yourself. I guess Microsoft already thought of that, a few years too late, though.
Random luck, as far as I have heard. Stuff like that happens in a quantum mechanical universe. As for why it's more likely that the negative particle is more likely to be pulled in, I haven't heard a really good explanation. One explanation is that the negative particle has less energy and is therefore more likely to be pulled in, but I'm not certain about that.
Not at all. This x-ray radiation is due to the fact that the matter falling in is heated by compression. That matter adds to the mass when it finally arrives. If no matter were in the area, none of these x-rays would be produced.
Hawking radiation is completely different. What happens is that due to quantum fluctuations, random particles pop into being all the time. They pop into being in pairs, a particle and antiparticle, and normally soon annihilate each other. When they pop into existence near a black hole, sometimes the negative particle falls into the black hole, and the positive particle escapes.
The particle that goes into the black hole annihilates some of the hole, and decreases its mass. The escaping particle cannot reach its antiparticle, so it can't be annihilated. It goes out as radiation, increasing the mass of the rest of the universe.
The end result is that matter has (in effect) jumped out from the black hole into the rest of the universe.
It's not as if the SR-71 flies at 1/7th the speed of the shuttle and still needs to pump fuel through its skin to cool it off. Notice that titanium burns at around 600 degrees C, while the shuttle's skin gets up to around 800 degrees C in places.
Considering that the specific heat of a piece of silica probably isn't very high, I doubt that it would be used to try to hold heat, rather than keep it out.
Not as much as one in the same time slot, but if you only want to watch about half of an hour of television on Sunday, for whatever reason, you'd have to choose between them. They're competing for viewer time.
you're solely responsible for backing up what you want to keep, and most of your applications will be missing when you get it back.
This is as opposed to buying a new computer, where...you will be responsible for copying over what you want to keep, and reinstalling your applications.

Getting hit with radar lock is a pretty good indicator.
What about infrared-guided missiles?

Yes, because phishers would never do anything illegal, such as impersonating a military officer.

The article does mention putting on a divergent section, though.

Are sure that the reason isn't that aerated water is at least somewhat compressible, while regular water is not?
Oddly enough, pluralization is one place where English is more regular than German. In most cases, though, you're right.
Yes, there's a lot more of it in space (including fancy gamma rays), and there's generally a very small mass budget for shielding.

Wouldn't the titanium burst into flames every time it entered the atmosphere?
What, it's not working. You should probably inform the people who are trying to get it to work. Maybe they can fix your problems.
Ahh, we've finally found a good use for the Cell processor!
Hard to do that in your car, though.
For reference: RMB1,000 is about $123,so that's not a bad price for a computer, though I'd be worried about the performance.
No but Google did bring in some $90000 worth of support through their Summer of Code project.
