Designers of car forced you.. Oil company just delivered what made oil-gasoline car to be useful.. (and some of them, lobbied for shutting down alternative sources of energy).. If oil & gas companies want to "survive", build vertical-farms in Africa (or other hot regions of the Earth), and produce hydrocarbons from air, water & sun.. Invest in GMO, disallow them to spread around the world (microorganisms, from farms, not the idea!), and make plants, algae. microorganisms, which will be producing desired compound efficiently straight away.. Agreement is: you will invest the all money in making vertical-farms (or artificial lakes of algae), GMO which produce fuels. They consume CO2 from the air to grow. Instead of digging it from the Earth and releasing what has been stored millions years ago..

Good and evil are often relative.. But you don't look at this, the right way.. Somebody eats great meal, and prays "thanks God for this delicious meal", but somebody else had to DIE.. to become your delicious food.. whether they were animals or plants.. somebody had to die.. It's old-school human way to partitioning to "us" and "they". Whoever "they" are. You split living organisms to "humans" and "animals".. "plants" are used nearly like "items".. Similar separation is done by nationalists, racists, nazis, etc. they first make border line "we", and "they" (whoever "they" are).. Jews, gays, lesbians, black, gypsy, etc. etc. and they are put in "sub-human" group.. so for them (e.g. nazis) it was easier to kill sub-human, as they didn't treat them, as normal human.. Now imagine, spaceship lands with aliens, somebody who is interpreting "don't kill" as "don't kill human" literally, will have no problem killing "alien".. From his/her perspective they are not humans, so can be e.g. treated as animals, or plants, or bugs, or whatever.. ps. Problem with killing and eating animals and plants will solve by itself, just because of overpopulation, and inability to produce enough food natural ways.. So "orthodox vegan" / "orthodox vegetarian" is simply wasting his/her time (not to mention issues with health), instead of learning how to create GMO organisms, which will produce appropriate organic molecules which could be used instead.

In local Vietnamese restaurants there are used so called "Hot Plates", which look like this: It keeps hot meal for much longer than porcelain plates. They are made of cast iron and wood. Google for "hot plate cast iron" or "lava cast iron kitchenware". 60 ukp per piece. ps. There is needed layer of onions at the bottom, otherwise chicken would be dry and too burned.

Did you miss this.. ? http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/112596-idiocracy-sequel-in-the-real-world/ ps. If you would vote for Jesus in either USA, and Russia, for president, then it will be impossible to have nuclear war between these two countries..

The very long chain of jokes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxFkEj7KPC0

The question is not whether she is better choice as a human (everybody can guess she would be worrying about minorities, women inequalities, etc. etc. but that's just tip of iceberg, the majority is below the sea level.. some clever CIA readers know what I meant ), but whether she will be able to swim with the other "sharks" from other countries around the world, and not this world, and what are her political opinions (and solutions) about f.e. global warming, (i)migrants, nuclear weapons, inequality around the world, etc. etc. (if you play in the mud, you will get dirty) I gave the first chance to Michelle Obama as candidate but her husband said she is not interested (no problem at all) couple days after that.. http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/96844-michelle-obama-for-president/ but somebody else accepted nomination, it appears so (not Oprah).. and he will be the right person in the right moment.. I hope so..

I was thinking about such Android/iOS application: - person is taking photo using smartphone, e.g. see there is broken tree, see there is trash somewhere (or full container), see there is damaged road, see there is something wrong in the city, flooding in the building, whatever wrong.. etc. etc. to photo there is automatically attached location from GPS given by smartphone and satellites. It's send to central server, then to local country server, then to local city server.. and city officers are analyzing photo with small comment added by user (or not), and sending appropriate people for taking care of the problem. The closest to location people are receiving info and taking care of it. ps. Current procedure of reporting anything is pissing off people so they rather want to avoid it.. I found somebody ID, there was police car near, and they started from asking me about the all my personal data.. WTF?! One such accident, and somebody will learn to never return anything to police after finding on the street..

For photons there is polarization by reflection. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/phyopt/polref.html

Time travel to the past would mean there are two or more the same particles existing simultaneously.. e.g. you imaginary travel to past 1h, and there are two copies of you and you+1h.. Particle is in two places at the same 'time'..

As you can see on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_francium The longest living isotope of Francium has half-life just couple minutes.. If you will manage to make 1 kg of Francium, if you will be lucky, after 22 minutes you will 500 grams, after 44 minutes you will have 250 grams, after 1h you will have 125 grams, and so on, so on..

Simulations of particle collisions are done @ CERN every day in 3D right now... What AI has to do with simulated Universe.. ? AI has to analyze provided data from this world, and return the most optimal answer. e.g. you feed AI with city map, all routes, some are full of cars, and it has to give you the best (the shortest time) path to destination.. Simulation does not have to go the shortest, the most optimal path.. You can restart it, and start from the beginning, and observe what is going on..

But Oxygen atom has no rest-mass mentioned by you.. It's much much smaller (O-16 approximately 2.66e-26 kg) It's quite obvious what is this particle. What is rest-mass of proton? Divide one by another. Round a bit. There is just couple possible isotopes with this mass number/Baryon number.

If you will be using analog TV signal on modern 40"...60" OLED/LED/LCD TV, you just wasted money. There is needed digital TV transmission, satellite dish transmission, or cable TV transmission (fiber wire), to fully utilize potential and enjoy modern TV image quality.. Obsolete analog PAL/NTSC which is interpolated to Full HD (by TV cpu/gpu), is not the real Full HD. Digital TV aerial looks like that (change to graphics mode): https://www.google.com/search?q=digital+tv+aerial HDMI cable goes from satellite TV receiver, cable TV box, to your TV. Just 1 to 3 meters. It's just the last stage of transmission once MPEG stream was decoded.

Studiot, You have two methods to transfer information: analog and digital. Do you have satellite dish? Do you have cable TV? Signal from them must be plugged to Satellite/Cable TV receiver. Data is transferred as MPEG stream. Receiver decodes it and outputs Full HD (1920x1080) stream and user must plug HDMI cable to receiver and TV, to have full quality. Or do you have obsolete aerial antenna on the roof? It's analog, the most likely. Aerial digital TV, which sends and receives MPEG streams also, requires special receivers-decoders, unless your TV has it built-in. If you have Full HD TV, to be able to have full quality, you must also have digital data transfer (decoded MPEG streams).

Without HDMI and digital data transfer from satellite and/or digital TV channels in Full HD quality, your new (I assume modern?) televisor purchase will be completely senseless, as quality of image will be horrible in comparison to what you might really have..

Are you talking about it? I bought two such just two months ago, for $0.15 per each, in TV antennas and satellite dish shop.. Cut wire, made some adjustments to wire, and screw plugs on wire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable In the middle of article you have list of standards with datasheet.

"Polycrystalline tungsten is an intrinsically brittle" Just in second paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten Try bending tungsten electrode (used in TIG welding).

Code-locked briefcase also.. ? ps. It would be quite "unpleasant" to wipe out nuclear rockets starting to launch... from the sky... so better keep them on the ground..

Nobody here will write entire essay about it for you. But I will give hint: emulators use it very often to speed up their work. Three letters abbreviation.

Better example is pendulum. Bob has the largest potential energy at the maximum angle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mathematics)#Simple_gravity_pendulum

Do you even realize that single couple hundred KB file (not to mention MB, or GB) has to be split to hundred little chunks... ? If transmission of single chunk e.g. 1 KB is corrupted, just resending single chunk 1 KB chunk is needed, instead of restarting entire transmission from scratch.. Nobody needs/wants 64 bits+ chunks.

Nonsense.. You have IP v4 with just 4 bytes (4x 8 bits) per address = 32 bits IP address. but there is also newer IP v6 with much higher resolution. 8x 16 bit shorts = 128 bits IP v6 address. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 You don't want to have too large chunks.. Even 1 KB can be too big (especially for 3D real-time games!).. Here you have f.e. discussion about packet sizes: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2613734/maximum-packet-size-for-a-tcp-connection No, I did not..

"graphics space"? Do you mean gfx card memory? They have much smaller capacity than typical physical memory available to CPU.. 1 GB, 2 GB.. while e.g. DIMM/DDR (on mb) have now 8,16,32 GB per single module.

No, pointers to memory are not transferred through Internet. They are local to CPU. Files are the same whether you compress them on 32 bit or 64 bit machines. If file uses 64 bit integers, 32 bit machine can read such file without problem.

No, no "more memory"... more data... higher resolution, higher precision integers, higher precision floating point numbers. 64 bit applications have 64 bit integers and 64 bit address pointers. So they use MORE MEMORY for the same. And they work slower than 32 bit equivalent application. But in some cases, when application is using more than 4 GB of data, it's necessary.
