Xenon is just a heavy gas that can be ionised. The reason why it is cool with an ion engine is you can accelerate just a little bit of it, arbitrarily fast. Instead of pushing mass (e.g. a burned fuel) out of the nozzle at a fixed speed, you could in theory push a minute amount of xenon at high speeds for the same force effect.
Less mass. More energy. Same acceleration. The energy is free up there.
"Adrian Kingsley-Hughes of the ZDNet blog "Hardware 2.0" gives a lukewarm review of Windows Vista, having tried out various betas and final release over a period of over 19 months."
Biggest surprise? He's left the default Vista sounds (except for the startup sound) in place.
And further, GM was developed as a safer alternative to the mutation techniques that have been employed in the recent past. The Economist had an interesting article on this about a year ago. I can't find a citation. But prior to application of GM, wheat improvements are gained by inducing random mutations with radiation and dna-snipping chemicals. It seems more sensible to me to skip the dangerous hassle and work on the genome directly, now that the tools to do so are available.
Interesting point. But it is rather lame to anonymously critique the user's science skill level. We don't have the luxury of such peer review of your comments, since you're too irresponsible|scared to identify yourself.
On another matter, I've never seen ANYBODY use TWO Sweet-N-Lows. Always 0.5!

Sewwiously. I don't know why Microsoft doesn't (appear to) invest in static analysis in their code... Imagine outputting a to-do list with, say, *every* freaking buffer overflow exploit in the Windows code tree.
Detecting is the COOL part, because mass (like oh, the Earth) doesn't shield the waves. In addition, you can make a focused beam by moving the impellor along only one axis.
I think there's a possibility that if you can shake the weight quickly, like femtoHz or something, detection is feasible with a small needle.

:-) That's really funny.
Jeez, I didn't even think og RTFA with a freaking jumble of an abstract like that. It's maybe the worst I've seen as far as not making any sense.
That doesn't happen until later.

I think these guys compile an object that makes it easy to examine every possible logic path in the source.
It's more than just source code pattern matching.

He/she wasn't really thinking about it in those terms when he/she quickly typed out a joke trying to score mod points!
The Thetans?
Oh, which i should say is just another way of stating your correct calculation!
I have a degree in Mathematics... one would hope I had a solid grasp of fractions by now. But no....
Actually, I think it works out to about 36 waves per hour.
10 milliHertz = 10 * 1/1000 waves per second
=> 0.01 waves per second
* 60 => 0.6 waves per minute
* 60 => 36 waves per hour
They both appear equally difficult to me.
Are you unaware of the number of countries in Europe?
