Some of this research has already been done. I know isolating metal ions and atoms inside C60 and fusing the resulting C60 into a tube (or bonding them close to each other) does not display superconductive properties.
I would suspect fullerines have similar conductance to graphite
Plus, a previous slashdot story indicated that fullerines undergo total disentegration under some conditions
IMHO, the key is to disconnect you local phone wiring from the phone company wiring. My house has a box outside with one half "Owner" and the other half "Verizon" (with a little lock on it). Inside there are 8 connectors, 2 for each wire.
I don't use phone service but I do want to use the phone wires for CAT 3 communication throughout the house. When I checked the lines, the wires which are supposed to be dead still carry voltage. I assume disconnecting them at the aforementioned box will eliminate the voltage.
This voltage/signal may be why Vonage says to not do it. the router will provide its own power and the stuff coming from the phone company may signifigantly affect the signal quality.
Once disconnected, I don't see any reasom why it shouldn't work. One questeion though; do you need a crossover for the RJ-11 on the router for it to work?
Except that molar quanitity is what will be preserved. Oxygen is 16/18ths of the weight of water. Even if that's what you meant, you forget the hydrogen exists as H2 and not free floating atoms
No, actually that mean's it's quite succeptable. An insulator doesn't conduct electricity and thus is not typically succeptable to ESD. However, those very properties are what make it a poor static guard. Since it doesn't conduct it can't conduct away other charges.
In this case it the material is conductive, but that means the electrical states are readily changeable. Which means ESD will change the states (and thus corrupt data)
Density of air at STP = 0.00129 g/cm^3
= 0.00000000129 g/m^3 O2 = 32g/mol N2 = 28g/mol air = 21% O2 & 79% N2 air = 32(.21)+28(.79) = 29.16 g/mol mol = 6.02e23 molecules/atoms per mol
0.00000000129 g / 29.16 g * 6.02e23 ~ 37715640
(=3.77e7 atoms/m^3)
=> density @ STP In space, we have 3e11 (hydrogen) atoms @ warp 1000 if the parent's calculations are correct
This give almost 1000x the atmospheric pressure on earth!
Interestingly enough, at the speed of light that would mean the atmospheric pressure against the front of your spaceship should be about the same as STP pressure on earth.
Granted the pressure on the rear of the frame would still be zero since you're in space, but it's interesting
Gasoline is a byproduct of chemical production stocks being separated from crude oil. As long as we need plastics, paint (acryllic acid), pharmaceuticals, solvents (nail polish remover/ acetone), etc. we will have gasoline, propane, butane, etc. as well
I should add that to get relatively (> 96%) pure ethanol from water you need one of those stocks (benzine) to extract it. Water and ethanol form an azeotrope at 96% EtOH to H2O
Remotes would be much easier to fix, because they are mounted to vehicles. Take the vehicle to the garage and have the remote repaired.
Much easier to have the remotes come to you than go out to every stoplight receiver for repairs. Since all vehicles need maintenance on their other parts anyway, this shouldn't be as big a deal
Actually, it depends on the car. Since power steering units have different gearboxes from manual, most auto manufacturers make the gear ratio steeper in the power assisted units...which is that much harder to turn than manual boxes at any speed. The only thing rolling gets you away from is the resistive friction of the tires against the ground
Ok, i've seen this come up several times, and I really need to speak up.
This view of light and perception is actually quite wrong.
The appearence of color is not due to the reflection of one and only one color. It is by the absorbtion of another frequency which constructively interfears with the color you are perceving to produce white light. For instance, The appearence of blue is created by the abbsorbtion of yellowish light frequencies
Here is another way to think about it: A chemical bond has a given energy, which can be energized by a photon of a specific energy (frequency). How can a homogenious material (Take Gold, which actually is an element) absorb every wavelength except one? It doesn't--it can't. It can absorb only at the energy of the Au-Au interactions comprising the solid. Yet, it tends to have a yellowish color
(yes there is white gold, and yes there are some color changes with impurties--it's an oversimplification)
Ok, so they float. But why do the droplets gravitate together in clouds, as opposed to the expected entropically favoriable dispersion?
If answer = local updrafts: You would think that wind currents would actually aid this dispersion process. It seems difficult to say the updrafts are semi-localized: How can clouds be from a localized stable wind updraft? It would be localized wind that remains as an intact process despite being blown around by the general wind (in a perpendicular direction to the local wind)
Actually, no, it doesn't. RedHat up2date can only update things you have installed as RPM's (thus appearing in the RPM database), and only reports those that are in RedHat's Official RPM Collection. I don't know if it's possible to add other RPM sources as you can with Debian's apt/dpkg functions.
If you have something you installed with the./configure;make;make test;make install, you are on your own to update it as needed unless it has it's own built-in update functionality.

Altenators in new cars aren't really good for this:
An altenator is different from a generator in that the supplied field is electromagnetic...it depends on another voltage source. This source is supplied (initially) by the battery or residual magnetic field when you start up the car, and is varied by the regulator. When your car needs recharging, the regulator ups the current or voltage in the altenators field wire, and your car cranks out more volts and recharges the battery. When the battery is mostly charged the regulator trims the field down so the alternator produces about 13V.
This has the advantage of not robbing your engine of power and gas milage when the battery has a full charge. However, to use it as a generator, you're going to have to hard wire the field to a constant (and not to the altenator output-- this creates a infinite voltage loop that will kill the altenator).
The reason new car altenators are not ideal is because the voltage regulator is internal to the altenator. This was done for simplicity and to make sure the regulator was always grounded, but it really complicates what we're trying to do. Older cars (until late 70's, early 80's) have external regulators and cars older than that (early to mid 60's ?) had generators (field was a permenant magnet).
Also, you do NOT want to bypass the car battery. It is an excellent power conditioner for the not-so-even generation of the altenator/generator
U.S. DoD, as per a previous Slashdot article. Testing on several currently IPv4 systems we have is already beginning in order to get checked off for IPv6 "compatability"
If I purchase futures on a bombing attempt in a Tokyo subway, the bet, er. investment doesn't necessarily have to be on the bomb actually going off.
Let's assume some this activity has a large amount of optimism in the investing community... enough that the DoD notices and takes action to stop it.
As a result, the bomber and his bomb are found and stopped. The resulting investigation determines that (s)he was going to but the bomb in a Tokyo subway within the date of futures delivery. This plot can still be proven to have come within the future's contractual guidelines (and thus pay out), since the bomber was found to exist _and_ have been planning to bomb said target on said date. You just have to make sure the contract doesn't specify that the attempt be successful.
The DoD may even have limitations in their plan to cut out success propability of any event (to prevent aforementioned "profit from others misery" liability)
Kali did exist, it was used exactly as you mentioned. I tried it a couple times and it seemed to work farily well. As for how it worked, I haven't a clue. Since each machine had it's own Kali install (as I remember it), the proxy would be local to each machine if that's indeed how it worked. For the gamecubes, you would have one machine managing multiple cube connections. There may be a latency bias between cubes on the same network and ones on remote networks because of that in my scenario
However, if this was implemented successfully with free code, it would be possible for later game designers to build a client into their game, allowing the gamecube to act as it's own IP proxy (using aforementioned code).
If you have a PC on the GameCube network, it should be easy for it to cache the list of gamecubes in it's local area.
From here, you just need a bit of software to "register" those gamecubes with some Internet registery (a central server of PC-represented gamecube networks). The server can then give PC's information on the available other networks and gamecubes in them based on pings, etc. The PC will have to select which ones it wants to play with based on user preference settings and then set up direct connections between themselves.
After the PC's are talking to each other directly, the PC's should be able to craft "fake" packets for the gamecubes on the other networks. From here the UDP packets with TTL=255 just have to be routed out between the PC's (IP in IP encapsulation?) to give the appearance of a larger local network.
In the 1600's, it was possible to make things go through the air. You can throw a rock through the air. Birds can fly outright. It, therefore, was somehow possible to do.
Supersonic flight was believed impossible, but mostly as an engineering challange (resisting massive pressures, etc.) not scientific law.
Superluminal speed is impossible from scientific law. We have never, EVER seen anything or made anything go faster than light. We may be able to get things moving AT the speed of light or close to it, but I doubt beyond.
The only thing we have "seen" which may account for this [that I can think of] is the (currently unknown) path of an electron around a nucleas. But for all we know that may be 4+ dimensional travel, or travel outside our space-time.
I've seen all of this to a somewhat lesser time frame in the Navy, and I side with the rebuttal. There are a few things that are different (AF to DoN)
1) We do run some Linux machines, but only in dev environments on land. (All "production" machines have a very, VERY rigerous process of being certified for their "production environment". there is a entire department that does this.)
2) A division (NMCI) is sweeping through and reinstalling everything IT. From the cables & patch panels through the computers. The network will be run ala Big Brother for much more $$$ than it was before. No one will be allowed to install software on their own mahcine, and only pre-approved software will be allowed to be installed at all. As we work in a lab, this has made things interesting for people with custom 286's with data acquisitions cards that only work under DOS or QNX...
I really hope you AF guys never have to worry about Marines in charge IT...
If they do DRM through this council I wouldn't worry too much. The GPL says that they have to release the source for what they do. This puts them in one of two spots:
1) They source for their DRM items will be public and can be used in other GPL kernels. Thus, we won't be SOL for the DVDs and CDROMs of tommorow. We will also know how it works (enter the DMCA questioning)
2) They implement DRM as a binary driver (ala nVidea). As such., the group members will have to develop their own modules independently and will probably have incompatible DRM schemes. This will mean the DRM method used by the media manufactiures will only work on certain CE devices and fracture the market. This would be a major pain in the ass for everyone. I reach this conclusion since the meetings are supposed to be public, and thus I don't think they have much reason to discuss a closed standard if they truly want it to be closed.
But that's the problem. 260 FPS is damn fast, but _eventually_ it won't run at that pace.
Go back and run the FPS settings in GLQuake (the first one) and you'll probably end up with a higher number than 260. That was the meter then, but the meter of tommorow is always going to be slower.
The more a card can do now, the more it'll be able to do tommorow (though more slowly, maybe 60-80 fps, as you mentioned). However, if it can only do 130 fps now, it may be in the 30-40 fps range tommorow, which is unacceptable (though still beyond the eye-noticable limit of 90 fps for today's graphics)
If the card could do 520 fps now, it may take 2 or 3 generations to get down to 80 fps, which saves peiople $$$ in buying new cards through those generations.
This is why people look at seemingly insane specs and claim it's too slow. They want more for tommorow as well.
