If the outside layer is thin enough and flashes at a suitably low temperature, the airflow from the moving missle may absorb most of the heat before the mirror is badly damaged (nanotubes?). However, Once you add the tiles, the weight of the missle will moslty be protection and you'll have:
-a smaller payload with which to do damage. -a much larger missle to house the bigger engine (and thus becomes an easier target. -a missle with less range, which won't be as useful -a slower missle, which will also be an easier target.
Oxygen is very reactive and hydrogen is very small and light. There are many oxygen selective membranes which can be used to purify the stream. Hydrogen's ability to diffuse through just about any solid would lend it to use a thin metal plate as a membrane. Last and easiest, it should be simple to find something that O2 will react with that Hydrogen won't (or will to a much lesser degree) that can be regeneratable. Lithium or other alkali metals would probably work well here. (It would have the added benefit of reforming any water in the combined stream back to hydrogen as well).
The first two involve the energy cost of production of the film vs. time or volume gas separated until film failure. The last can be calculated by the reduction of the alkali oxide/hydroxide back to raw alkali (much easier/quicker to do via electrolsis, than of water itself, possibly leading to solar powered electrolsis).
Right. The pure essence of runing netowrk operations may not benefit, but the implementations we tend to use do. In addition to checksumming, I think having hardware support on the NIC for compression, encryption, (firewall rule processing?) would be very helpful...even though direct ethernet communication doesn't need any of this.
No, but if it's electronic print theft you can change the print encoding method to render the print invalid. That would at least force the thief to have the physical print...
Yes, you would have to re-encode all prints on the system--but it can be done
I disagree. Figerprint readers can use two forms of IR. One verifies it's producing heat, the other makes sure it's skin. We've done facial recognition that could tell the difference between a person and a Hollywood mask of that person. It wouldn't even enroll the dummy head as its own person.
Plus, I'll wager that more CC theft is a result of lost/stolen wallet or the card itself. It's much more difficult for your typical criminal to steal your fingerprint, esp. if it requires having a decent educational background just to understand how the biometric device works.
That very same mentallity is what doomes many, many projects. Things which are similar can, in some cases, be wrapped together for savings. However, just saying "it's a space probe so these tasks are similar" is not valid
If you want to build a probe to explore the heliosphere, that's great. If you want to study other planets, that's great too. But do that in another project. In this case, reaching the heliosphere requires energy and fuel. Bolting on instruments and crap to study things on the way out increases flight path complexity, time till results, and weight. This hinders the probes ability to get out to the heliosphere (prime objective) in the first place.
When you make a tool for a job, that tool/project/task needs to fit the order. When you start bolting on other crap, it becomes big, bloated, error prone, and typically comprimises the initial mission.
This brought up an intereting question in my brain that hopefully someone inclined in math can help. While you can have a certain set of digits repeat in an irrational number, it appears that changing the base destroys the pattern. The clever bit I was wondering about is if you could find a (whole number) base that you could use to represent a random decimal string as a repeating pattern.
Possible issue: To prove for sure, you'd need the entire string. But possibly you could do the calculation of pi in a suspected base to know for sure.
Also, what is the calculation typically entered to give the value of pi? 7/2=? sqrt(2)^3?
RTFA. The power comes from magnets / magnetic fields in the pad. It probably works similar to those induction-based stovetops (No heat on the burner, it all goes into the pot/pan).

During Hurricane Isabel in the D.C. area all the stoplights went out. Most people for whatever reason though intersections became a race to see who could get the the intersection first would get right of way.
There weren't any wrecks at the intersections, because two cars colliding at 80 mph (they speed up to bet the other to the light) don't end up in the intersection when all is said and done.
I was honked at repeatedly for trying to stop at an out stoplight. My recommendation is that if you want to live, don't drive in the vicinity of the East Coast.
Yes it is. This guy poses as the Rolland that everyone hates for posting stories that go back to his blog and make him money. It's not the real guy though. The sham of a story is there just to make you hate the real Rolland P. more
I suggest you look into new diesel engines. They can be even cleaner than their non-diesel counterparts with recent innovations in diesel catalytic converters and filters.
Particulates will always be changing because of changing engine designs. However, one mole of diesel will always produce more exhause gas than one mole of gasoline because the average molecular weight is much greater despite being made of the same atoms. From http://hypertextbook.com/physics/matter/density/ we have:
diesel 800 kg/m^3 gasoline 803 kg/m^3
Since their densities are about the same, we can say one unit volume of diesel contains more stuff to burn than gas.
A diesel engine may weigh slightly more than a regular gasoline engine (not if you use modern materials), but it certainly weighs less than a gasoline engine, an electric motor, and a pack of batteries.
a) The engine in the hybrid is smaller, because it runs at one speed (full-out) if it is ever running. This means it does not need to be designed for low end power.
b) You forgot to include that despite the extra generator and batteries, we now get to remove the transmission and can, in the future remove the transfer case (awd/4wd), driveshaft (rwd), steering shaft & powersteering pump (electric replacement + drive by wire), power brake vacuum chamber (electric assist) because we now have an electric unit powerful enough to take care of all these things built in.
Some recent numbers from Honda/Acura's new diesel engine in their... I think it's the new Accord, but they don't call it that: 76 MPG, 130 MPH stop speed, 8 second 0-60 acceleration. That's amazing numbers, and better than any hybrid system out there.
As I said before, gas and diesel doesn't compare because a gallon of diesel produces energy (and emissions) equivellent to perhaps 2 gallons of gas.
I should also metion that the molecules in diesel's weight range are more likely overlapping with polymers and other organtic products which have other uses. Gas is more of a byproduct that doesn't have much function other than as a fuel (and thus is better spent that way)
What diesel engines DOES provide is alternatives to pumping form the ground entirely, which is sweet. However, this is separate from petrolium diesel fuel which is not good
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Even if for some reason (s)he does fall and go * , it doesn't impact/harm anyone else's freedoms (unless he hits something on the way down). In this case, just let him do what makes him happy.
That's probably because Mac software had weird distribution channels. You had to look in the Macintosh-dedicated magazines like MacWorld for current software. Only after it had very large sales numbers did few software pieces begin to be available alongside PC software. The only place that I found that had Mac software (other than System x.y.z) was Babbages.
The world is much more Mac-friendly for finding software today than it was back then.
Also, many good things were free/shareware (Avara, Bolo) or came with the new Mac (like Spectre or the aforementioned Graphing Calculator)
The first time I played Halo and heard the little monsters screaming "They're everywhere" I about died in laughter. As I couldn't help it, I made a fwoosh sound and a scream with my mouth, and turned to see a bunch of people staring at me.
Those of us who played the gamma/beta of Marathon knew of the Random Man "officialy the BoB's" who would run around screeming "They're Everywhere" until killed. Many a deathmatch was interrupted by this Random Man running across your sights. Hunting them down with a flamethrower proved to be fun, as for some reason they always seems to say they're scripted line right before screeming in pain as their burning bodies collapsed into a burnt pile on the ground.
This memory always comes flashing back as the Halo Grunts run in fear screaming that immortal line.
I want you to remember this comment when you decide the DoD should downsized rather than building bigger, more explosive grenades so they don't have to send down the 18
Acceleration can be limited by other factors, such as rate of combustion (diesel vs petrol), gear ratio, etc. that may not have a direct bearing on the total force produced during an entire engine revolution.

Just take the cellphone out of the picture entirely
Nitpick---
It's not an energy source if the machine itself consumes energy to produce work (which is kinda the definition of a machine)
It would prove that you cannot have an unbounded gravity shield.
