Why would a key that is twice as long take 36 orders of magnitude less time to crack?
Gender and sex are not synonymous when discussing discrimination. There is a sharp distinction between sexual discrimination and gender discrimination. As an example, sexual discrimination would be something like "you must have a penis to be in management," whereas gender discrimination is when a male that identifies (and thus dresses) as a woman gets harassed when entering a public restroom.
Finally, you have to worry about inductors to a lesser extent. Current inductors aren't quite good enough, but we're working on that too =) Nanoscale metallic alloys are definitely the way to go.
Now my experience with electronics is quite brief at best, but I was under the impression that inductors were specifically avoided in electronic circuitry for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that they tend to be bulky. This is not a big problem because the effects of an inductor can be simulated with an RC circuit.
Is this a typo, or is there some reason why they use inductors on nano-scale circuits (where the size issue would be even more pronounced)?
One of the biggest (in retrospect) security related problems that occurred at VTech was the second "attack." There was a two hour period after the first shooting in which no shooting occurred. During this two hour period, there was no way to warn the students about the shootings and give security advice/information. The main way that a university communicates with its students is via e-mail, but most students do not check their e-mail midday because they are in lectures. The second set of students who were shot could've been saved if there was a more rapid security bulletin delivery system in place.
There has been a shift in security information delivery systems in universities lately, in response to the VTech problems. My university has installed centrally controlled LCD screens in the highly trafficked areas on campus. This is another such method of enabling rapid deployment of important information. If every student has a PDA, the university can know for sure that security bulletins can be delivered quickly.
So actually, yes. This can prevent another attack.
Sulphur Hexafluoride is commonly used in the production of silicon chips, so the only real new part here is that the sulphur was deposited using lasers. I imagine many researchers in the semiconductor industry have thought of this before.
Nuclear power plants can not be used to create materials for bombs. The real risk is in fuel enrichment plants, which in the past have generally been a necessary part of the nuclear power process and have thus coincided with nuclear power generation. This can be avoided by using a heavy water moderated plant design, such as the CANDU and its derivatives, currently in use in Canada, India, and a number of other countries. These plants can use natural uranium, which contains less than 1% U235, compared to the roughly 5% U235 required for other reactor designs. No fuel enrichment is necessary using this design. Thus, if we know countries are using this type of reactor, and fuel enrichment facilities pop up, any claims that it is necessary for power generation are clearly false.

The summary states that the detection system detects the sound made by air escaping. This is not true. The sound of the air escaping is OUTSIDE the spaceship (as said in the article) and therefore cannot be detected within the craft. The detection system is simply the array of vibration sensors.
Carry cloak with you. Demand money at teller. Teller follows your demands but alerts security/police somehow. Upon receiving money, place cloak on self. Police are unable to see you, and therefore cannot follow you even if you just walk out.
If a large explosion occurs on a train, everyone in the car and perhaps adjacent cars are injured or killed.
If a large explosion occurs on an airplane, everyone in the plane will die (or be severely injured), as well as whatever the plane hits on the way down, which, in the vicinity of an airport, may be other expensive planes or the densely populated airport.
Why didn't they test the N64? They have the Playstation and Dreamcast, both of which are from that era. Especially given that the Gamecube's energy consumption is so much lower than that of the PS2 or XBox, one would expect that they would test the N64. I wonder: are all Nintendo consoles more energy efficient than their contemporaries?
The light from the flashlight will appear to be travelling at c to both the observer holding the flashlight (and travelling at 0.999c) and a stationary observer.
This is because of time dilation, which would result in making everything, from the flashlight holder's perspective, appear to be moving really really fast (including the light). A velocity that would normally be measured as 0.001 c will instead be measured as c due to this time dilation.
The stationary observer would, of course, measure the speed of the light as c.
Now, if two flashlight wielders were travelling towards each other in opposite directions, both at 0.99c in their respective directions, I have no idea how to explain what they observe.
And if she wants to keep you, she'll play video games with you. Any girl for whom you need to change yourself to be together with is not going to stick with you when the times get rough, and isn't worth having in the first place. If she doesn't like you for you, it's her loss.
Technically you could be a nanometer away from the gas and not get burned, as long as you don't touch it, and are in a vacuum. These particles would have to have been in a vacuum, or they would collide with surrounding air molecules and give off most of their energy.

And I don't know if snakes really have gender.
Would you be willing to tutor a male student at the same rates?
Are you giving the aforementioned goods away in striving to hoard less?

What do either of those plans have to do with nuclear power specifically?
Couldn't both of those plants just as easily be coal plants?
(Not that I disagree with you; I'm just looking for something I may have missed)

There is no dark side of the moon. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.

During the first performance of Igor Stravinksy's ballet, Rite Of Spring, there was a riot.
Technically, it was Professor Farnsworth who had it right. He was the scientist who designed the robots. Bender just happened to be one of them.
Very hot.
