The article has a quote similar to that one, but with different wording that leaves them actually very little wiggle room.
âoeWe recently detected an organized and systematic attempt to obtain information on a number of AT&T customer accounts, including yours,â AT&T said in an e-mail to customers. âoeWe do not believe that the perpetrators of this attack obtained access to your online account or any of the information contained in that account.â
Considering the type of attack they describe this sounds more like a scouting mission rather than a full on attack.
It makes sense due to its high porosity. The lattice should break up the sound waves really well while also not supplying a surface that the sound waves could reflect off of.
B&N's brick and mortar stores are going to close up and blow away.
B&N knows that they have to start distributing their titles via electronic means. This is their future, if they just rolled over they may as give up and declare bankruptcy.
So they have a chance if they are successful, but fucked if they don't, so they must try or die.
The lattice is constructed through several steps, Carter said. First, lasers beam ultraviolet light into a reservoir of a resin that forms polymer fibers when the light hits it. The fibers follow the path the light takes, and using multiple beams creates multiple interconnected fibers.
Next, the rest of the resin is washed away, the polymer fibers are coated with a very thin layer of nickel, and the polymer fibers are then dissolved, leaving only the metal lattice.
The dimensions of the lattice can be adjusted by changing the properties of a perforated mask through which the ultraviolet line is beamed, the paper said.
Due to its expense I can't see this being used as a drywall replacement. Drywall is used to due to how cheap it is, not because it is the best at its job.
If it was used in the same fashion as drywall then the actual lattice would be covered by a paper layer and then acoustic mud, just like drywall.
It is a very long journey from "Hey, this result doesn't look right." to "OMG, we have discovered an example of particles exceeding the speed of light."

It's also easier to "lie" when you can carefully construct the "truth" which is much easier when writing it out vs doing it to someones face.
Because it works towards peoples distrust of modern society.
That which they don't understand They Really do not understand so they mistrust it.
Kinda like the Freemasons, no one knows what the fuck they do, and they won't say, so you can blame them for everything under the sun.
I would imagine that that technology would fit in better at ones local community college or tech school.
The community college or tech school could have a side business that allows supervised access to the technology for a price.
Perhaps try your local community college?
Some of that might even be available at your local high school.
Per that Wikipedia article they used nitroglycerin which is not what the binary liquid explosives would produce.
It has in fact been successfully used in an airplane attack. And someone actually died as a result.
Mind linking some proof of that?
I've done some googling for that and the closest I can come is 4 failed bombings on buses in the UK where one person died of an asthma attack.
And when MP-3's came along the music stores didn't shut down.
Well, actually they did.
It makes sense due to its high porosity. The lattice should break up the sound waves really well while also not supplying a surface that the sound waves could reflect off of.
The signal to noise ratio would have made it unmanageable.
Get a few experienced people looking for prior art would work better than having two thousand people who don't do this on a regular basis.
Slashdot seems to think that old Star Trek shows count as prior art, I doubt that would cut it in the court of law.

Sorry they are currently stuck in a time loop from computer chips that turn back time when they are destroyed.

Which Golden Girl would you plow first?
The cosmonaut of course.
Someone linked a cnet article with more information including how it is produced.
From reading it it sounds like it will be easier to produce, but I really don't know a damn thing on this subject.
What's your take?

The cnet article someone else linked has a lot more information.

It looks like this will be significantly cheaper to produce than aerogels and sturdier.
As long as it is cheaper that aerogels then it is a significant achievement in material science.
If it costs more than aerogels to produce then it is just another nice research project.
Most probably we are talking space station stuff here, the question is whether it will be used on Earth.
The most resistant to vibrations.
The most able to transfer thermal energy.

I normally don't link videos, but in this case it makes sense.
I think this is what he is talking about.

It was bad enough with safe search on, I don't want to know what you found with safe search off.

Anyone have a link to a basic algebra howto?
Oddly enough I do.

This reminds me of the story Manna.

Management costs more per person than the people they supervise, if you can get rid of management you can significantly improve your profits.
Well it has the little red button to make it non-functional, but I can't locate the clutch.
