Actually I am wondering why an Na or Cl ion would be smaller than a water molecule with 3 atoms. Are they dragging polarized water molecules with them that would prevent them from passing through holes that are small enough for water? This is bit vague so far.
As said at http://cms.web.cern.ch/news/cms-search-standard-model-higgs-boson-lhc-data-2010-and-2011, they have excluded 128 – 525 GeV at 99% confidence level. I am not sure they measure higher than 525 GeV with LHC for now. I would expect that existing theories for the Higgs put limits on its mass. Of course theories can be wrong, but if all theories about the Higgs are wrong, then there is no such particle.
There is no way heat could cause a nuclear decay unless you get to 50 million Kelvin or so. With a laser it could conceivably be done, if the laser is powerful enough to reach that temperature. The reason is that things happen in the atom's nucleus, and you need to interact with via strong and/or weak forces (don't remember the details), not electromagnetism. Neutrons can do it, but that means radiation. Since the article doesn't say where the energy comes from, it's surely a scam.
The logarithmic scale in the graph at the HotHardware link is really confusing. I think a linear scale would show the differences between the drives much better.
You are not counting the weight of the engine. An electric motor is much lighter than any gasoline engine or turbine. Therefore the energy density of an electric propulsion system is better than 1% of a gasoline system.
Most of the things he complains about would be bad practices for any business. How can a business keep customers at arm's length and expect to have a good relationship with them? How can a business let its customers completely dictate how they do their work? If you run a business, you are responsible for keeping it sustainable, and sometimes that means you have to say no to your customers.
Since I couldn't boot any more, I simply swapped in my old hard drive. I didn't try to update the firmware of the Vertex, which would have been difficult anyway.
I got an OCZ Vertex 5 months and was very happy with the speed increase. Yesterday the laptop blue-screened and wouldn't boot any more. The BIOS test reported a read error. I am waiting for an RMA number from OCZ.
There are special DVD media to be had that are meant for archiving, and they do seem to last quite bit longer than normal media. I don't remember the brand name, but I recall that the Taiyo Yuden media have about the same durability. Taiyo Yuden media are not available in stores, but places like newegg.com sell them.
... in that the time comes closer and closer to the definite value (Tarmon Gai'don), but never quite reaches it. And like in a true converging sequence, the progress made in each book becomes smaller and smaller. This is achieved by filling the books with more and more repetitions (warders in shifting cloaks, anyone?), bringing in additional characters and endless, pointless political maneuvering of all involved. When I stopped reading around book 5 or 6, I figured things had already come to a standstill and nothing would happen any more.
What worries me a little about the post is that all bad news about GoDaddy seem to come from a single source: NoDaddy.com.
That doesn't discount them, but I can tell you from my own experience that GoDaddy is a lot better than RegisterFly.
True, the British/American pure direct representational approach does seem to bring stability. But it does so at the cost plurality: You cannot successfully start a new party for which 10% of the people would vote, because 10% overall is too little to get a representative in any particular location. But 10% is a significant minority, why shouldn't they be heard?
I also think it's a unfair to quote failed examples of proportional systems that were fixed 50 years ago. Nowadays Germany and France are very stable, and their voting systems don't stifle significant minorities like the British/American system does.
How do artificial muscles come into this? I didn't see any mention of muscle in the abstract, just 'artificial tissue' and 'electrical contacts'. The elastic behavior is wonderful, but how do you pump energy into those nanotubes to make them expand or compress?
What really draws me to a flash disk is random access time. For many uses (software development in my case) the real drawback of notebooks is the long random access time of their hard disks, and you can't replace them with fast a 3.5" WD Raptor drive. Reducing build times by a couple of minutes would really help me.
I don't understand why they say the prices for Intel and AMD quad core system are the same when the Intel QX6700 seems to go for $1500 on newegg, while a pair of AMD CPUs seems to range from $600 to $1000 (couldn't find real prices yet).

Look again. Everything is strongly typed, including primitives.
Just saying, because the material is from 2006/2007...

Any transformer does the same the thing with much better efficiency, but at smaller distances.
