16 gauge wire is 1.29mm. And why do I have a strong sense that it this is accurate? Because of the technical detail of the sources listed. And how can you politicize wire gauges?
Wikipedia is a great resource I find for technical articles on various topics. What is molybdenum used for? Wikipedia has the answer.
Getting an accurate opinion on a controversial political sitnation would be more an issue with Wikipedia, as you would have lots of bias on either sides. In that case I agree that Wikipedia would be better used as a quick summary of views, rather than an authoritative view on the facts.
It makes a great technical resource for "dry" science based topics that no-one really has any reason to falsify. For hot button issues, I'll find more unbiased sources.
If all I get for that kind of performance requirements is fancy light shows I'm going to put my precious hardware resources someplace else Thankyouverymuch.
It looks like a porcupine, and boy does it growl like a porcupine. Monster Cable Products Inc, would you like to try a bite and see if it tastes like a porcupine?
It's good they are at least owning up to the fact it isn't ready rather than sweeping design problems under the rug. Sure they probably shouldn't have had the huge 787 rollout fainfair months ago.
it scares the shit out of me just to think if Microsoft made airplanes.
I am very with my 15/1.5 FIOS service. It's $50 a month (internet only, no TV) and I can redline it all day, every day at 15mbit down without any annoying bandwidth throttling, Mystery Bandwidth ceilings where Comcast tell you to stop but they won't tell you what your cap is, etc. etc. etc.
Behold! When I noticed a response to this I secretly told myself "well it's probably a duh response", knowing just how well known the Fed's scare tactics come with "dem damn turrists". haha! I was correct!
Only a tiny, tiny fraction of the books and scrolls within the Library of Alexandria survived, and who knows what kind of complex science and engineering was put into those books. The day it burned the world lost the greatest knowledge resource at the time.
Here is the project's website. It is also being planned for Desktop computers with an inexpensive USB accelerometer attachment. This actually makes sense, as desktops move less than laptops and are less prone to spurious vibrations like the clickityclack of the the train.
if they're inexpensive enough, I wouldn't mind dropping 15$ on a USB accelerometer. Heck, I'd drop $25 if it was at all accurate, as I'm highly interested as to see how sensitive and see what kinds of vibrations it does pick up.
Virgin Galactic may bet he first one to fulltime commerical spaceflight, but this industry has not even begun to bloom. It will be one of the biggest lucrative business secters in the coming decades, and I wholeheartedly look forward to the first commerical space IPO.
If they're so concerned about effects why not just calculate the health risks? WiFi has a limit of 4watts EIRP (includes antenna gain and output wattage). So, example of a 15db antenna would be a max of.1 watts. Anyone a foot or more away from the antenna would be safe.
Considering the fact that most City wifi antennas are on powerpoles, light poles or other such high-up places, a cellphone would be a higher source of radiation than wifi.
I have found that soft red light used to illuminate my dash certainly doesn't keep me awake. Maybe a brilliant electric blue would at least keep me more awake. Whether it "simulates morning" or if it's simply brighter/more intense, as long as it works is all that I care about.
From what I understand Polygraph tests are legally prohibited from most work environments. I hope they extend those laws to brainscans, thought detectors, etc.
With all the technology in the realm of brain scans, etc., what's to stop some nefarious employer requiring mandatory scans for every employee?
With such powerful technologies, and with such rapid development there's going to be an everpressing need for privacy laws that protect our thoughts, literally.
The Intelligent Design crowd has pushed "scientific" evidence that is in their favor. Under what jurisdiction would the "scientific" basis fall? Would it be the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS?) The School District's "science" advisor? The teachers themselves?
Without a concrete definition of whose "science" you are using, any teacher could find some half-baked textbook that proclaims to be scientific and tell the School Administrators they're teaching true "scientific" information.
I agree. The Wright Brothers knew only some basic math and mostly built their airplane through ingenious yet fairly simple experimentation.
That's why I emphasized modern-day aircraft. Designing a 777 or the new 7E7 off pure experimentation would take insanely more amounts of time and money. Math makes it a LOT easier, and its probable all turbine-driven commercial craft wouldn't exist at their current efficiencies without math being in the design process. Laugh all you want about their gas-guzzling reputations, but it would be interesting to see someone design such a sophisticated aircraft without advanced math.
of course pilots don't need to know the math behind why their plane works. I sure hope the designers of the planes knew their math! Without them the planes wouldn't work.
It always amazes me how applicable math becomes hundreds of years after it's written. Think if Maxwell's equations, Newton's equations, Einstein's equations. Fluid Dynamics equations were probably pioneered well before they were applied to human machines. Modern-day aircraft would not operate without their understanding.
Where the math goes, human technology will probably soon follow.
God no, I don't wear 8-yard wool traditional kilts in the heat of summer. A lightweight Utilikilt is very comfortable in the summertime, and it doesn't have the itch of a traditional wool kilt.
Google has got one very relaxed, energizing and creatively stimulating atmosphere and still is one of the top tech companies out there. More and more startups are going the way of a relaxed corporate atmosphere and in doing so are helping set a new paradigm in corporate culture. The age of the suit is steadily moving into the past. I doubt it will ever go away, but there is more emphasis on what a person does over how they look when the do it.
Who says regimental is bad when your boss is dying of heat in his oven-suit?
Seriously though, fashion isn't the main reason I'd rather be a geek than an executive. I love working hands-on with projects, on a nitty gritty level you can only get by being a techie. That's the kind of work I perfer, and I just don't see that kind of thing in management.

Utilikilts aren't made from heavy wool. They are made from a rugged yet light cloth that is anything but sweaty in summer.

Isn't that why they made sandals in the first place? Yes, without socks.
