Oooh, priceless:
Additionally, residual Po-210 thermal energy must dissipated while the weapon is in a storage mode-in essence the
system produces 104 kW of heat energy which if harnessed through a RTG generator, could be used to provide
significant electrical energy. "We don't yet know how to get rid of 104 kW of thermal power per rifle around the clock, but it might be useful in some way." Like... melting the gun in an instant.
Bah. Clay tablets and abaci, now that's hardware. But those storage slaves... awfully slow and they dropped and broke bits left and right. We invented ECC and caching to fix that.
In high school a buddy of mine was the son of a chemistry teacher and we managed to buy at the university supply shop by piggybacking on the school's purchases.
Potassium chlorate, white phosphorus, concentrated sulfuric and nitric acid... No problem.
You get my drift. I'd be so in jail these days.
Good old 70s... No surprise that no kids are interested in science any more. He became a chemist but I discovered computers a few years later.
Personally, I still believe that the outcomes of all the dice throws are predetermined. We just don't know how. The Bell Inequality proves that there are no hidden variables. Get over it. Quantum mechanics is counterintuitive. Your standpoint is like Einstein's, and he was refuted.
Wasn't it proven that the multiverse interpretation is mathematically equivalent to the other more traditional approaches like wavefunction collapse and decoherence?
I like SF as much as probably most people here, but I can't see the scientific significance.
There was dual actuator drive on the market a number of years ago. It turned out to be so much of a niche product that it cost more than two competing standard drives, which give you the same throughput and twice the capacity.
If I leave my machine for some time and try to get back to a running decent-size app like Outlook or Firefox, it takes about 30 seconds of paging until they are responsive. This does not happen when WDS is disabled or on Snooze. I guess it depends a lot on how much you're indexing. My Indexing Status shows "Items indexed so far: 2,135,782."
If Google hadn't raised tons of privacy/confidentiality concerns by sending index info across the Net, GDS would be the standard these days. They had a huge head start and blew it.
Google filed a 49-page document with the Justice Department in April claiming Vista's desktop search tool slowed down competing programs, including Google's own free offering, and that it's difficult for users to figure out how to turn off the Microsoft program.
It creates so much IO load that so far every machine I used it on got down to a crawl once it indexed a couple 100,000 files. I guess that's why they turn it off automatically once any user interaction is noticed. But by then it has consumed so much virtual memory that every other app has to be paged back in slowly. That gets better with 2 GB of memory but not much. Oh well, I guess I need 64bit and 4GB.
It helps to put the index on a different disk than your OS and your page file, but not a lot.
They might do that, but they still need data to support their standpoint. Either there is (good) data, in which case the science is wrong or still open, or there isn't (or only bad data.)
The bottom line is, the data for global warming and the anthropogenic greenhouse effect is so overwhelming that you have a hard time coming up with alternate science. The logical result is that you're at the fringe if you try to do so, so you'd better have really good data. Come up with some and you'll be able to sway at least some of the scientific community.
It's like Klaus said "I don't like spooky action at a distance - quantum theory must be wrong. Or at least it's bad for the economy to believe in it."

Pork barrels or to distract from other unsavory realities, I can't quite make up my mind.

It'd use nuclear processes, duh.
Is that a peak that sneaks up on you? Like a volcano or something?

Exactly my thoughts.
Now I can't get the Moody Blues tune out of my head!
1. Write up some really outlandish fiction ...
2. Promote it as a religion
3.
4. Profit!
Works every single time... not just for Scientology.
we're going to *grow* flying cars?
Ok, where are the silicone based life forms?
Because the hypocrites are still in the majority.
For Houston...

>So the answer to the question "Would your average user be able to distinguish 'faulty software' from 'lucky'?" is yes.
Hmm, would somebody with that level of intelligence play a slot machine in the first place?
The Metaverse, of course. Duh.

Several years ago an ex soldier successfully sued the German Bundeswehr due to infertility after a radar maintenance accident.

Scientists listen to data, not what politicians/economists etc want.
