at least it has been tested on
human breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver, and prostate tumors that have been transplanted into mice
Yeah, it helps a mouse immune system kill the tumors. Its likely it would also help a human immune system kill them.
Now they need to make sure that it doesn't also kill the non-tumorous parts of the human breast, ovary, colon, bladder, liver and prostate in question.
There are some lasers which are not single spatial mode and consequently their light beams diverge more than required by the diffraction limit. However all such devices are classified as "lasers" based on their method of producing that light: stimulated emission. Lasers are employed in applications where light of the required spatial or temporal coherence could not be produced using simpler technologies.
The light originally came from a laser, so it's laser light even though its diverging in all directions. Bollocks.
Apple or someone else needs to step it up here and offer some true 'CD quality downloads.'
I think what we have here is TFS contradicting itself when it contradicts TFA. Presumably he wants "better than CD quality downloads."
Likewise, it can be used to toss things into the outer system - the counterweight is moving at far above escape speed (~7000 m/s at 96000 km), so you can just let something go there, and it'll be heading off in the general direction of Jupiter. It won't go as high as Saturn's orbit without a higher counterweight, of course, but lower aphelions are possible by releasing at a lower altitude than the counterweight...
While the GEO station would presumably be a safe enough place to live, you'd have to be very confident that you could avoid any cable-snapping events before the counterweight would cease being an extremely depressing working environment. In the event of a snap, things would be a lot grimmer than in Space 1999... though presumably they could spare some mass for some suitable escape vehicles.
it seems to me that hunting while drinking is no different than driving while drinking.
Kudos to you for doing your part to stop that nonsense.
I'd probably argue that its worse. With driving, you don't want to hit anything. With shooting, there are some far-away moving things that you do want to shoot, and some that you REALLY don't.
If you fly ANY sort of "Drone" over my property, I'm going to shoot it down, and I don't give a fuck what the law says.
Am I the only one reading some of the comments on here who can't help wondering why (some/many) Americans seem to think guns are the solution to just about every problem? I find it hard to believe someone could be so much of an asshole that if a kid across the street with a small RC plane isn't very careful, they're gonna shoot his toy because its somehow violating their rights.
I'm not really trying to be provocative, just
