Better in a filing cabinet rather than on a cold radiator. My co-worker placed his file folder full of engineering documents on thermal copy/fax paper at the end of one summer. First time the heat turned on in the fall, he had a folder full of black paper. Thermal copiers are old, abandoned tech, though reusable plastic thermal paper may be new.
You (and other posters in this thread) are looking at one side of it. Sure, finding coding bugs and fixing them may be necessary for a valid result. But what after that? You still won't know whether the code is valid if you can't thoroughly understand the problem space.
It's not just about absorption of energy - a solid, stiff bumper can absorb energy. It's about rate of deceleration. The the theoretical minimum is total change in speed over total change in distance (constant deceleration). The minimum change in speed is fixed by the impacting speed and end speed. The maximum change in distance is fixed by the depth of the bumper. The way to minimize deceleration is to get the declereation to happen over a greater distance than the bumper: allow the engine compartment to crumple and cushion the deceleration, not just the bumper.
Certainly, the commentary should be, but that's the network's, not the NFLs. The game itself? I don't think so, but I'm not an expert
The NFL would like you to believe that they can copyright the game, and their lawyers might bleed you of your money by taking you to court if you test that, but the game itself cannot be copyrighted, Of course the broadcast/recording can be copyrighted.
When you buy a $30 Blu-Ray, you are buying a single license to view it, not the information itself.
No. The industry would like you to believe that all you're buying is a license, but when you buy a $30 Blu-Ray, you are buying the physical disc, and you can do anything you want with it. YOf course, you're not really buying the information, either. ou can't own information, the best you can do is hold it secret for a while.
On the other hand, copyright law gives performance rights to the holder of the copyright. This is why the NFL can charge you for showing the superbowl as a public performance, although I don't understand how that could apply to private, not-for-profit assemblies of people watching a public broadcast just because they have a big TV.
My gas pedal has stuck as I was coming up to a red light, and it was very hard to stop. I attributed it to the snow on the ground, until it happened again at the next light and I noticed the engine was still revving. I almost crashed until I realized what was happening and put the car into neutral. (unfortunately, I overshot and put the car into park momentarily, which resulted in a slow leak of my transmission fluid that cost about $600 to fix).
Anyway, in my experience, braking is problematic at best in competition with the accelerator. The brake might be enough to hold the car in place while revving the engine at a stop, but I doubt you could make a reasonable controlled stop at full throttle while at speed. (Your results may vary depending on your transmission, brakes, and engine)
I believe it might have to do with the US Congress.
If you bring up an item for vote, it might well be passed. But if you can table an item, putting it aside for further debate, you may be able to kill it by effectively preventing it from being considered for a vote before that session of Congress ends.
Embrace Extend Extinguish was their pattern. And they followed that in order to protect their business from the threat of Netscape becoming a server/development platform not sold by Microsoft. Fortunately, they were only partially successful.
Around here it commonly gets colder than 0F (-18C) and they use salt to good effect. True, sodium chloride doesn't work that good below about 15F (-9C), but if you can afford it, calcium chloride suppresses freezing at least down to -20F (-29C).
And fertilizer (ammonium) actually works down to about 20F (-7C) see more here
In practice, a combination of plowing, very high sodium chloride levels, and the action of rolling tires can make roads fairly safe to drive even below 0F.
Illinois has a 6.25% sales tax rate
add Cook County's 1.75%
add the Regional Transportation Authority's 1%
Add Chicago's 1.25%
Add Chicago's special tax district (which soaks the areas around downtown and the McCormick Place convention center) 1%
That adds up to 11.25%, unless you're buying soft drinks, where it rises to 14.25%.
To be fair, the taxes on food and medicine are lower (2.25%, but restaurants do not qualify as food)
Then again, Chicago has among the highest gasoline taxes in the nation.
And Illinois has a 3% income tax, too.
Using heat to distil water is not usually the economical way to purify it, though I have no idea if that applies to what chipmakers need.
I've been involved in projects for the food and medical industries requiring "pure" water, though those do not have requirements as exacting as the purity required for chip making. The systems I've seen have multiple stages through various levels of increasing efficiency filtration, softening, and deionization beds. One of the bigger problems is that pure water is very aggressive, and tends to pick up impurities from whatever piping and tanks the water travels through.
Reading between the lines of TFA, it sounds like Intel was set up to remove the impurites it expected, but not the ones that the fertilizer created, or at least not in the quantities found.
People who get all their news from The New York Times and NPR as every bit as ignorant as those who get all their news from Fox and The Wall Street Journal.
No one in the preceding posts said T-Rexes did not go extinct or that they evolved into birds,
They said that birds evolved from dinosaurs - but there were more than one type of dinosaur species and undoubtedly they did not all survive to evolve into birds.
As a side note, the difference between a motor and an engine is that a motor rotates, an engine reciprocates.
Huh. I didn't know that.
Not surprising that you didn't know that, since it isn't true.
An engine is a machine that does work using a source of energy like the coiled rope of a catapult or the tank of gas for your internal combustion engine.
A motor is an engine that moves something, like, say, a motorcycle.
For example, a small device that turns heat into power could power an IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE using the bodies own heating/cooling systems?
How would that work?
To power a heat engine, you need a temperature difference.
To power a heat engine efficiently, you need a temperature difference significant in comparison to the absolute temperatures.
As the temperature difference approaches 0, the efficiency approaches 0.
The maximum theoretical efficiency between body temperature and body temperatue + 3C is about 1%
How much of a temperature difference do you think you can find within the human body across a machine of a few micormeters (or even millimeters) in length?

I agree, I used to have DirecTV but switched to ATT Uverse because DiecTV wouldn't switch me to HD (calimed I couldn't get a signal) ATT's menu system/user interface sucks compared to DirecTV. It's slow, complicated, and clumsy.,
Close.
Copyright laws were first made because competing publishers weren'r making money, so the Queen
gave exclusive rights to one of her friends and patrons. Later, the law was established to give those rights to the first publisher to print the book (unless, of course, the Queen decided to grant exclusive rights to one of her friends and patrons instead).
Authors had nothing to do with it.

If the cost of assessing it [open source] was greater than the cost of the software, you would have to think twice
And how will you know the cost of the software if you don't asses it?

Why would running liquid through the chip not be able to control the temperature?
In nano-scale channels, liquid doesn't run.
The Soviets tried the cooperative thing . . .
Try telling that to Stalin's competition.
I have nothing against the scientists and engineers who build this stuff.

China being top exporter and anything manufactured, is bound to have the occasional glitch.

Except that copyright (in the US anyway) doesn't cover information.
