It doesn't matter whether he *can* write or not. He's not allowed to do much writing while the writers are on strike. Some contract or threat of something prevents him.
I like my ThinkPad a lot, but "perfect"? Not quite. I had to send it in to get the system board replaced after two years of heavy use. They did a great job of turning it around, btw. Also, the texture of the lid could be improved. It gets marred over time. The most used keys (e.g. the spacebar) get shiny over time too, so when you use the built-in light (a nice feature) over the screen, there's some glare. Probably there is nothing better, but nothing is perfect.
X-ray blocking (which shows up as opacity) is proportional to the atomic weight and density of the stuff. e.g. lead, atomic weight 207, is much better at blocking x-rays than sodium, atomic weight 23. And sodium is harder to distinguish from organic material (C, H, N, O: all/= 16) than lead is, but it is distinguishable. And having a toothpaste tube with a chunk of higher density material inside it is certainly going to raise suspicion, don't you think? Finally, sodium, and the hydrogen generated when it contacts water, is not going give much of a bang. You'd make a mess, maybe burn somebody, but you wouldn't bring a plane down with it.
When I was at Loma Linda (Calif.) medical center about 5 1/2 years ago when my son was there for a heart transplant, I saw that they had a proton therapy facility for cancer and I don't think it was brand new even then. I didn't have time to learn about it then, so I don't know how many others existed at that time, but there was at least that one.
Is it a TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotope, General Atomics) reactor like the one at WSU in Pullman? If so, it's bigger than the 20' x 6' quoted above. And it uses a swimming pool for shielding the core.
Popular Mechanics compiled these links to make it easier to compare leading presidential candidates on several issues of interest to our readers, primarily in areas of science and technology.
The article does not limit to science and technology. That is a simplification made in the summary and the/. post's title.
OK, if you could make a right at the equator, drive to a pole, make another right, drive back to the equator, make a right and end up where you started, you're right, but then, you can't drive from the equator to a pole - anywhere.
Portland is also rated very "green" and is an attractive city (partly because it's green in the literal sense as well - all that rain is good for something).
Same thing for me at Fry's three months ago. Vista was the only option when I went to buy a new desktop for home. My wife uses it primarily, so I left it as-is.
Replying to undo incorrect mod.
So I'll just say it, wavelength does have to do with resolution. That is why electron microscopes have higher resolution than light microscopes. See a demo for visible light.
Parent is incorrect. At least it wasn't modded informative.
The other companies would only be infringing the patent if they PLANNED in advance, and just for you, to delay your shipment. If it just happens, it is no problem (for them).
You have some nerve telling people about how science works after making such a stupid comment.
Uranium, beryllium, and mercury come from the environment, too. I suppose you'd have no problem with someone dumping a load of them into your backyard, then?
But to the extent that they would lose access to the US market, they will not want to do that, which is why they'd rather wrest control of the existing one away from the US, while leaving it intact.
The thing that strikes me about those photos is how dull gray the moon is. And the actual moon dust samples the astronauts brought back are quite dark gray as well. Compare that with how bright white the moon looks on a clear night when it's not near the horizon. Amazing how vision fools us.

You do have a choice not to buy an iPod, however, you can't use AAC format files on some other players, so you can't put music from iTunes on them.
Check out the recent FoxTrot comic strip. Deals with the DMCA in a funny way.

That was supposed to be "[less than or equal to] 16".

Like spelling deficiencies?

Well, brevity is the soul of wit, or lingerie, or something.

In the US you mean, right?

Portland ranks number six among U.S. big cities in tax burden. Hippies love paying taxes, or at least they like someone to pay them.

No. Alpha (non-penetrating) radiation did it.

Too quick. Should have said "when you CAN carry one".
Why carry two devices when you carry one?
Hint: it's not zero.
I've got one, but I prefer the trackpad. Takes less force to move the cursor. To each his own.
