Ok, one would assume that being in "a galaxy far far away" would mean that the story took place within that galaxy, although they never specifically said this, it is a logical assumption that the author seems to have missed.
"Another is dubbed "dataless" and uses nuclear fusion as the fuel. It is a concept that dates back to the 1970s and one originally from the Interplanetary Society."
Here they somehow seemed to have confused "Daedalus" in an impressive homophone that had never even occurred to me before seeing that.
thats as far as I got before closing the tab in disgust
A 40kw reactor like they discuss in the article would use a small amount of uranium, probably less volume of radioactive material than used for the RTGs in the cassini probe. Whereas we have tons and tons of nuclear waste to dispose of, not just spent fuel rods, but reactor internals, coolant, and so on.
Ever read Alice in Wonderland? The verbiage is...unique, to say the least, with long, made-up words, as well as normal words modified in unconventional ways. "Curiouser" springs to mind immediately. Point is, a Lewis Carroll work might not be the best thing to use to check machine-determined readability.
Actually, mitochondria do replicate within the cell, contain their own genetic material and ribosomes and even contain the genes for a full set of their own tRNA molecules. They simply do not have enough genetic information to survive on their own, outside of a cell.
I would argue that they are conditionally alive; they replicate on their own and can perform respiratory functions (albeit requiring the usage of host cell proteins) yet cannot "live" on their own apart from a cellular host.
Fernando Orellana was my professor for a digital art class I took in college. He was way into the computer as a tool for creating artwork, and the fusion of traditional art with the modern and bleeding edge digital techniques. Interestingly, he asked the class one day what each of us would do with an unlimited budget for an art project. No one thought to ask him what he would do but it looks like this is certainly a hint. He's a great guy and has some cool ideas, I'll have to look him up when I'm at school for alumni weekend this year.
an acoustic coupler was a device that you put on the phone head piece, to receive and transmit the audio signal, and transform them (back) into electrical signals for your modem, which didn't have that capability built into it.
There are still people who survived the holocaust alive today. One doesn't need to "best guess" or "interpret" a primary source's experience. Holocaust denial is like calling those people, and the soldiers who liberated them and witnessed the death camps, all liars.
Laptop displays have always lagged behind standalone displays, which incidentally, are still by large 6 bit displays. Laptop displays are just about ALL 6 bit displays, and are temporally dithered to simulate additional colors.
That was a liquid chlorocarbon, which polymerized can be used to create teflon and other useful plastics. It has been well known for some time that these solutions can hold enough oxygen to be viable breathing solutions for applications like deep sea diving. However, that is in no way similar to a blood substitute.
The problems with synthetic blood substitutes are myriad, including but not limited to the difficulties of creating a substance that can function as oxygen donor and CO2 recipient in the same manner as hemoglobin (which achieves this via an affinity curve that varies with pH) while tending to not be immediately filtered out by the kidneys or induce clotting.
or even TFS. You're getting double the bitrate in addition to no DRM. Whether you feel like this is worth it or not is up to you. The only thing you're getting *less* of is DRM, which I suppose, if you want to complain about, is your prerogative.
There are a lot of unused uranium mines out there, is basically what its saying. That does not address the fundamental problem though, which is that easily fissile uranium 235 exists in a finite quantity, and unless the world is willing to begin building commercial breeder reactors, the supply will run out, around the same time as current fossil fuel reserves if use continues at its current rate.
Hydrogen's main source is water (seawater, ideally), not fossils, unless you're referring to the fact that hydocarbons store their energy in form of carbon-hydrogen bonds. But seeing as you mentioned bulky storage, probably not. Also, bio-ethanol (which is a bit redundant) is quite different from the "oil" you mentioned, which is bio-diesel.
Considering english is mandatory in schools there, the number of people who dont know any is quite low, and mainly an older segment of the populace (insert korea-old people-email joke). Also, Romanji (as roman characters are called there) are used everywhere, from signs to advertising to hillarious clothing .
But true enough, in many countries english domain names on a non english keyboard could be a real pain in the ass.
The radium in those clocks only glowed because the radiation excited a zinc based compound mixed with the paint. However, #3 is incorrect due to the phenomenon known as Cherenkov radiation, which is caused by electrons (beta particles) emited from radioactive (or really, any other source) travelling faster than the local speed of light. This is why spent fuel rods stored under water glow blue - cherenkov radiation given off by electrons that are moving faster than the speed of light in the water. However, cherenkov radiation in air is much less common.
There are going to be people vocally declaring that we have no right to "cure" (or prevent, as the case may be) autism, and that it's not a disease. At the same time, others will insist that we should do everything in our power to mitigate the effects of autism, which can be quite formidable...I myself know a family friend a year younger than me who has pretty severe autism, he lives in a group home, but he plays the piano like a concert pianist (and has since he was 12) as well as being completely bilingual. He is quite intelligent but really can't function independently in society. I'm going to reserve judgement on this until the trials are completed and the results are in, but I can promise that there is going to be a HUGE amount of controversy over this.
don't forget, the brain also operates on a much lower voltage than most CPUs. Think of the battery life we could in laptops if they operated on a 70 (well a total change of 30(!)) millivolt potential.
A few years back there was a class action lawsuit against the labels for price fixing, which I believe also had something to do with the price coming down.
Like battery life consumed in decoding wma files? After all, in itunes for windows, there is a built in option to convert non-drm'd WMAs to MP3 or AAC. Not that battery life is necessarily the reason they did it, but it already is pretty easy to convert WMAs to an ipod friendly format for joe blow consumer. Of course it's in Apple's interest to convince people to buy an iPod, but its not like they're preventing you from transcoding the files you've got to work on it (assuming they're not DRM'd).

to use the term "twatter" or "twating" which I find much more hilarious than "squitting"
No, I was thinking more like The Crimson Permanent Assurance

Attack from Mars is one of my favorite pinball games of all time. Loads to do, and a number of different ways to earn replays!
