Hydrogen wasn't the Hindenburg's downfall. It was the diesel fuel. At low pressure hydrogen is relatively benign. Hydrogen however, is somewhat harder to contain, and can embrittle metal.
Anyone looking at Microsoft mobile solutions as a consumer product is looking at them wrong. These toys are meant to keep Microsoft relevant in the mobile business space. Write once, run Microsoft. Businesses don't need to hire ancillary dev teams to write their ancillary mobile apps they can utilize in-house talent and existing code bases. Even LOBs are going to be able to spill over into the mobile space since they won't be shackled to orange shield implementations that scare the CSOs. If businesses adopt Microsoft mobiles the hope is that consumers--used to their work devices--will find the familiarity attractive enough to stick with the brand.
Time will tell if the strategy pays off. The ability to use C#/XAML and avoid the costs and penalties of HTML5/JavaScript is a very attractive proposition for businesses.
Because those decadent Caribbean vacations, err political summits, are going to be paid for by those sinner companies instead of the tax payer. Jeez, some people need a billboard in front of their face before they get it...
That just makes so much sense. I can't understand why no one's thought of it sooner. Think of all the prosecution costs that could be saved!...and prison beds!
Indeed. But then it had a rather exclusive set of specs for a car of that day. Of course it should since it was basically a street legal race car. The 0-60 isn't my only evaluation factor. The only thing those kind of cars are good for is the 1/4 mile. Handling is abysmal. Reliability, economy, comfort, etc. are likewise awful.
It's kind of like comparing a Cray-1 to a Galaxy SIII. You can get similar number on a drag, but the SIII will run circles around it in every other way.
More like an aged lion, all roar, but scarcely any bite. Interesting museum pieces but easily outclassed on the road even by many econo-boxes of today.
They've already found that. Quite some time ago actually with the other rovers. Which actually still keep finding cool things (even water related) BTW.
I suspect that any means of producing Oxygen for the purpose of a fuel oxidizer would be a net negative gain. However, perhaps they could find fluorspar (fluorite) in sufficient concentrations to make it an interesting candiate for an alternate to oxygen.
So $1.2M salary divided 18,500 ways... Or approximately $65 per employee, per year? I'm certain that would make a dent. Of course you apparently didn't read the article or you would have noted Rayburn actually did chop his salary up 18,500 ways when he set his salary at $1 in response to critics.
Not sure how easy that would be for profitability. There a number of new expenses that I'm not sure customers would be willing to pay for. Drivers, ordering website, etc.. There might be an interesting collaboration with the local pizza delivery joint...
I think I remember something about "small town" and "rural" market. You can forget niche unless that niche is a one-stop-shop for porn, buggy whips and beer.
Yes, it was a struggling company that was pushed over the edge by short sighted people that thought they deserved something the company couldn't afford. Kinda like the US auto industry but without the bailouts.

Here's a concept photo, though I can't say how detached it is from physics.

Place it in a box suspended over said cat with some uranium and a radioactive decay counter as the trigger to release the payload.
Free speech? The the western media outlets have free speech. They just happen to "speech" what ever political agenda their CEOs ask of them.
As opposed to what? The South African manufacturers?

Can you think of a better way to get private companies to fill the holes in the government budget?

Does this mean rich people can just kill the poor and pay fines now?
Couldn't they before?
gloves, shoes, and maybe rain gear make the fence pointless? Oh, well I suppose the contractor installing the fence benefits so I guess it's OK.
Are you sure? I thought it came from volcanic ash. But in this case Curiosity will kill the cat.

Trouble is that their evidence for that falls within the statistical margin of error.

You gonna miss Twinkies aren't you? Sad to see people get so bitter over a creamy filling...
Hey, BETA was better!
That's fine. These fools were high school kids or older.
Well placed criticism is insightful even if at the same time inciteful.
