Just because it contains only N & O, doesn't mean it leaves only friendlies in the air. NxOy is the cause of many city smogs and lung problems.
And O3 is also a nasty pollutant down here in the breathing zone.
Hopefully ultraviolet is able to break it back down to N2 and O2 easily - then it is a friendly.
it's buggy too. I have Leg number "NaN" with flyby altitude of 12 digit integer.
I feel all i am doing is minimax. I spend 95% of my time finding the min position of a planet in an orbit - they could automate that - and the user then spends there time looking more at orbits than the 3rd decimal place after delta-V.
They could also let it run 500 times in the browser to find a few low energy starting candidates.
There should also be a visualization of the variant orbits so I can move closer to that global maximum. At the moment there are no visual clues to where any minima could lie.
It was the 2007 Doctor Who episode Grid Lock where in the year 5 billion and 53 the traffic in New New York was so bad it took 6 years to travel 10 miles in the high occupancy lane.
try to pronounce the common English words "moths", "months" or "strengths" and then tell me that "maths" is awkward. IAAL(inguist) and "ths" is pretty standard English.
Addis Abeba has certainly more that 2 traffic lights. Here are 3 on google maps. Cars don't stop behind a pedestrian crossing when there are no lights.
I still think you are going to run around a corner and see crates lying around, and know that some baddy is in this room, coz that's what the crates are for. No amount of technology is going to fix bad map design like that. There will also be impervious surfaces and materials, like the floor you are standing on.
Visual Studio doesn't even get told by Windows64 about some exceptions that happen - making it even impossible to debug 32 bit software on Win64. link. Obviously the Win64 people and the VisStudio people don't talk to each other
Chrome extensions are sandboxed, unlike firefox extensions. Through the extension API there is no access to the password database for extensions. Even when the user looks at passwords in chrome the password is not written in a window, it is written directly on the canvas, giving no access to hackers.
The only way to get to the password database is to connect directly to the opensql database and decrypt the passwords with the userID - and that is how chrome password dumpers work.
this story is pretty meaningless - and has nothing to do with Chrome or really with Browsers.
Though it is an interesting idea to prohibit access to passworded objects in the DOM - but that would prevent "password strength checkers" to work.
what about superweeds that are now glyphosate resistant and mirid bug plagues in Northern China because they haven't been using pesticides on their bollworm killing GM-Cotton from Monsanto.
Nothing is as simple as Monsanto wants you to believe.
We are only now seeing the effects of decades of use of this stuff.
Why can't they lower a half sphere (metal, fabic, plastic, whatever) that sits perhaps 50 meters or more above the leak and catches all the rising oil? - and at the top of it are two or three pumps pumping to the surface at a rate faster than the leak is leaking?
I'll be putting a satellite dish (hidden) in my garden, where Google maps can't see it, and subscribe to my Indian, Chinese, or Iranian internet provider.
You've got it all wrong. I don't even think you read TFA, because you said "assume... it's moving out with the tide" - you don't get it.
The kite is not moving, it is hovering - tethered - and the energy is generated by the turbine attached to the kite. The "flying" is probably just to lift it to optimal position, drag and angle. The energy is generated by water moving HORIZONTALLY in and out of the bay, not UP and DOWN. You don't need a high tide, you need bay with a lot of horizontal water movement.
The advantage about this method to other sea methods, is you can lift the kite out of the water in a storm or for maintenance, it doesn't have to stay down there. The only infrastructure you need down on the seabed is a hook to hold it, not gates or turbines.
if you say the first race has the "ethical obligation" to sterilize the second race, then you shouldn't say " We have to begin our interstellar colonization before the probe gets here", you should say "We have the ethical responsibility to graciously be the loozers and lie down and let doom hit us", because anything else is "unacceptable"

100,000 pounds=45359 kg (not needed to calculate g force)
240 mph= 108 meter/second
300 feet = 91 meter
From highschool physics v^2-u^2=2as
u= initial speed=0, v= final speed=108. a=acceleration, s=distance.
so acceleration = v^2/2s
gforce = a/9.81=v^2/2/s/9.81=108^2/2/91/9.81=6.44g, which is not going to kill a navy pilot, but will make a mere mortal full horrible.

Patent of Dyson Sphere is already here.
i don't think so. "There" was 95% of the book and "back again" was 5%
and back again.

If you can show me a vehicle that can get me 25km to work and back in snow, sleet and rain for 1000W then I am in.
is destroying the tuna, shrimp, crabs and any other life in the dead zone, that hasn't already died because of nitrate run-off from the Mississippi.

just wait until the add Photoshop to the mix. Then the whole thing dies.

I've seen lorikeets often get drunk on fermented eucalyptus nectar - their normal food - on a hot day. Typical, normal behaviour - they love alcohol.
just use https://www.google.com as your search page. it's been available for a few weeks now.

you're right. they won't be risking baby shuttle getting blown up.
