The installed scanners are xray back scatter scanners. The give very high resolution images compared to mm wave and unlike medical xray equipment (with trained personnel), you get some TSA goon being responsible for your xray calibration and dosage.
OpenJDK was "copied" with permission. And then released with a patent exclusion IIRC. Basically your golden as long as you don't embrace, extend,... you should know the rest.
Not a single photon even after 100s of times the age of the universe is not a "tiny fraction" by any stretch of the imagination. Its none.
The *size* of a photon in the visible region is much larger than an atom. Blue light is in the 400nm range while an atoms radius is in the 0.1nm range. So a photon intersects many atoms.. often all at once.
Tunneling is exponential in nature. If you get say 1 in 10 photons through a 1um think piece of material. Then you only get a 1 in 100 with 2um thick.
Now lets assume that the thickness is now 1mm. Now just one photon in 1x10^1000 gets through.
Now lets assume we have a red laser (700nm) that has a power output of the sun (3.846×10^26 W). Thats 1.3x10^45 photons per second. After waiting 1000 billion years, thats still only 4.5x10^55 photons. So none get through. You could use all the energy in the visible universe and still not a single photon gets through.
So in other words, there really is such a thing as truly opaque objects.
By the way. Much less than one in ten photons of 700nm light would get through most pure metals.
I was referring to musicians in particular, since thats the topic. What i am taking about is that if a bar/pub organized *independent* artist to be played on the stereo with permission of these artists. They still are forced to pay the organization that collects money for public performances etc even though they *don't* represent or pay these artists
I always thought the GPL reading of derived work sounding more like something that the MPAA come up with. If i reference another text book, and the information in the other textbook is needed to understand my book. Its still not a derivative work as far as any reasonable person would claim. Yet that's what the GPL claims is (as far as I understand).
I have always liked Linus much more pragmatic approach to the whole thing.
So will you pay for the lawyer? No. Then whats the point of that BS legaleses dribble if i am not suppose to be able to understand it without a lawyer. And what the point of the preamble if its not the stuff that the lawyer will use in court anyway?
It has always been assumed that they had planets, or that its at least common on stars with the right composition and no close binary partner. But since we had only one set of observations, ie here. A lot of protoplantary disk dynamics was blind guess work. Now its just guess work.
We have already learnt some interesting things. The number of large Jupiter size planets that are in close orbits is much higher than expected. So migration after formation seems to be more important that first suspected (Uranus IIRC migrated quite a bit)
Well perfect fusion engines can get you say 1-10%c. That's doable for space probes. Antimatter is also theoretically possible. The efficiency bound for antiproton production is at least 1%, then 50%c and higher becomes something we can talk about. Then there are beamed energy proposals.
We really don't need new *physics* to reach the stars.
You need to be logical to be a good mechanic. Don't know why you assume IT is the logic department. I have had more than my fare share of problems from quite stupid and illogical IT department polices--and yes the guy in charge was an IT guy not a management guy.
In many countries , plea bargaining is a corruption of Justis.
I have always wondered why a jury would trust the "cell mate" testimony when they get a 20 year term reduced to 10. How many people *wouldn't* lie in that situation.

Android doesn't run java.
OpenJDK was "copied" with permission. And then released with a patent exclusion IIRC. Basically your golden as long as you don't embrace, extend,... you should know the rest.
However java, for the most part is *not* slower. I have a some java code that replaces some C. Its more than 5x faster.
And get off my lawn.

For many materials nothing ever effectively sneaks through at least in the visible region.

Physicists don't actually use terms like "opaque" very often.
Yes we do.

Not really. 1mm of just about any pure metal will not transmit any visible wavelengths till the light source is powerful enough to vaporize it.

This is depressingly insightful. It has never been about the artists. Or they would be permitted to be independent.
Hay, i like cows. They are very tasty.

They could also not take the schools laptops home. There is a reason why I get my own laptop and don't take the company issue one.
We have a lot more options than just not voting. The vote is only a small part of representative democracy.
I hate mono. ;)
Its not the language that infringes the patents. Its the implementation. Its common to develop applications for the JVM in languages other than java.
Because FORTRAN is faster ;)
That patents don't have anything to do with the *language* but its implementation.
