One of the hazards that long duration space travellers will face is radiation. The Earth's magnetic field draws incoming particles to the poles, thus protecting us. Could these powerful magnets be utilized on spacecraft to provide a similar function, drawing incoming particles to a sacrificial target or an area of the spacecraft that is hardened against radiation?
Absolutely not. If you're going to go with a nuclear rocket, make it a gas core nuclear rocket, like the Liberty. Gas core nuclear rockets (or nuclear light bulbs) do not spew radioactive waste in their wake. They are clean and physically doable, unlike the Orion.
From what I understand, drugs or not, her voice was already well past its peak (at best) if not totally f****d by the time she died anyway. Some of that was possibly due to age, most of it was probably smoking crack all day for years on end.
Other way around. Launches aren't news, because that means that everything happened the way it was supposed to happen. Scrubbed launches are news because something unexpected, something new, happened.
Consider the Apollo program. Apollo 11 landed on the moon. By the time Apollo 13 was scheduled to launch, everyone was so bored that they were having trouble getting air time on TV. They weren't news until something unexpected happened.
No, because it's both a denial of service attack and interference with the normal operation of a licensed device.
I'm not familiar with the intricate details of the regulations in the so-called "Land of the Free", but wouldn't those objections also apply to the operators of the Stingray as well?
The problem isn't just the police officers; the ones who instructed the police to lie should also be getting jail time. Sadly, as others have pointed out, the only ones with the authority to bring them to justice is they themselves.
Side question here. The FCC regs say any transmitter under a certain power level does not need a license. So, can a theatre owner operate a low power stingray or other cell site simulator to attract all of the cell phones in the theatre and never pass ring signals to them?
The increased life expectancy probably has a lot more to do with widespread adoption of domestic refrigeration technology 75-100 years ago than sterilization techniques.
Except that the alcohol found in bourbon is ethyl, not isopropyl. So drink your bourbon as much as you want to, but that doesn't let you off the hook over the challenge.
Since it does not have a motor with _any_ displacement, wouldn't it be closer to a motorized bicycle? At least that mentions electric drive.
I'd say no. First, the definition for motorized bicycle specifies top speeds which this device handily outpaces. Second, the definition for motor driven cycle specifies that the engine displacement be less than 150cc. Zero is less that 150.

Some recording studios have done this to clean up their power.
Why wouldn't they just run DC?
For some reason, the phrase "I'd buy that for a dollar" is going through my mind.

... but it still won't get you a hickey.
Lifting from the Earth's surface is the entire point. Once you're in orbit, any ol' thrust source will do.
You both should do a little research on Gas Core Nuclear Rockets. Project Orion is never, ever going to fly.

Are you sure? Maybe you have hot, sunny winters, and cold, snowy summers.
Andy Warhol got it wrong / Fifteen minutes is too long.
Andy who?
HP is already doing that with their memristor tech.

Speaking of drugs...

It was, until the 1970s, when Grease became the word.
Thermite works great on just about any kind of storage media. Maybe even clay tablets.
On the other hand, it may just fire the clay or leave you with a metal cast of the data you are trying to destroy.

odd that an actual paper trail was allowed to be released...wonder who forgot the degausser this time?
You'd have to have a seriously powered degausser to destroy an actual paper trail.
They could (and should) declare a mistrial and release the defendant.
Remove the Purell crap.
Oh, come on! Purell is a good fire starting gel.

True, but after a few, he won't care.

To some, it isn't a motorcycle unless it has a Harley Davidson logo on it, and makes a deep throated BrapBrapBrap noise. Doesn't make it so.
