No. 14TeV is the energy of a single hadron, not the energy involved on the whole LHC.
So if the beam had a current of 1 amp (1 Coulomb / sec) then the energy of the particles in the beam would be 6.241×10^18 * 7x10^-13 = 4.3*10^6 kW*Hr. That's a lot of energy, and I'm guessing the beam currents are MUCH less than 1 amp.
BTW, power = energy / time or work / time.
The pure electric car is ideal because it has zero emissions (as well as allow for economies of scale with where you get your electricity from). Same thing with hydrogen fuel-cell technology, its emissions are just water.
Nonsense. These is no zero emission vehicle. You just move the emissions somewhere else. Unless you've got a solar-powered car. Or a sailboat with no auxiliary.
The problem is, when it gets implemented on many websites, there will be loads of ads on either side of the text, completely distracting and ruining any advantage offered by the text format.
At least that is my fear based on my expectation that this method wouldn't work well when I read the summary. Whenever I see narrow columns of text now it's surrounded by distracting ads that make it more difficult to read.
Right. Computers can be entertaining, but it takes a little work. It's not a matter of sitting down in front of the thing with a beer and some Cheetos and being passively entertained, like a TV does.
No, I completely agree with you. It doesn't make a lot of sense. My comment was more about the strange way that the word inhumane seems to be defined (or not so defined, really).
The fact that we do get attached to cars but would still not call someone inhumane who destroyed one (even one to which we have attachments) is odd, given that someone would call inhumane one who allowed a robot (of the sort we actually have, not the sci-fi sort) to come to harm.
No one is accused of being inhumane when they crash a car. Why is it any different if they destroy a robot? Limbs are more life-like than wheels? What if my car talks and I take it with me fishing? How strange.
I get more spam in my Gmail account than in my Hotmail account. Of course, it's neatly stored in a spam folder so I can delete it en masse without selecting as opposed to picking it out, then deleting it en masse in Hotmail.
My 7 year old son won an XBOX 360 w/ 12GB HD and we've been using it for a couple of months and recently it started freezing up in the middle of play. Any suggestions for hardware defects to look for?
If it were molten non-metal (e.g. silicates, or something more like magma) would it still generate a magnetic field? If it were 1% metal, 99% magma, would it generate a magnetic field 1% of what it would have with molten metal?

Yeah, it's been tryin' to rain here all day, but I think it's gonna wait until the weekend.
Well, as a 48 yo grandmother, I take offen. . . oh, wait. . . never mind.
Sort of. But many of them are more like the toilet bowl, with similar contents.

Mods are clueless on this one.
Problem is, some people aren't afraid of dying, or judgment.

In any case, not just Agent Orange but we all win, as we know something we didn't know before.
Nitpick: TFA says they didn't get into space. TFS says "remains of 200 people were lost in the mountains after their trip to space."

Ha. I just copied that off the bottom of the page, right below your comment.

Plus, slashdotters like car analogies ;-)

Just curious: why is Lesotho, a small land-locked mountainous country with few Muslims, few paved roads, and no major airport on your list?

I just noticed a pattern. My next sig should also start with "There is no. . . "

As of right now, the right answer is 40% as informative as the wrong answer (+2 Informative vs. +5 Informative). Go figure.
Something tells me whoever had this drive didn't have it because they NEEDED to transfer 120GB of data and the HD was a good way to do it.

I suppose I should meta-moderate more often, but I suppose I'd have my own posts filtered from what i could meta-moderate.
well, the guy who submitted the story uses Fahrvergnuegen as his nick, so maybe he thinks in German. . .
Gut fahrt is German for "Have a nice trip" or something like that. Not sure why he used German but that's beside the point.
