Wrong. Per default, Autobahn has not speed limits.

Unless indicated otherwise, if you enter the autobahn, NO LIMIT.

Yes, there are speed limits quite commonly, but if you discount Stadtautobahn stuff and the Ruhrpott, 2/3rds of it are unlimited. Case in point: You can drive Stuttgart/Berlin and have all but 50km or so of the distance unlimited.

In theory. In practice, helium will interact with, for example, iron alloys (steel), ending up with de-electonized protons migrating through the bulk metal, and at the other end snatching up some of the fermi-gas and going their merry way.

The same way, in vacuum systems, getting rid out of the stupid hydrogen magically appearing out of nice stainless steel enclosures that have been ultrasonic cleaned and baked under vacuum is a real problem. I have seen suggestions of burning the whole chambers under vacuum at 650C to get the protons out, and even that isn't really the end of things.

How the hell do you get a 15k phone bill?

And why are you bragging about your stupidity to not get a contract to accomdate your usage profile?

Are you posting in Bizarro land?

Your own link tells us that over 91% of the users of chrome didn't even encounter a SINGLE java applet in a whole MONTH.

Thats an absolutely overwhelming sign that java is almost extinction-level rare in the web. Hell, I would bet that the rate of people encountering embedded MIDI files was much higher.

The F16 was always the bargain bin little sister of the F15 (the "real" fighter jet).

Its main appeal was that it was _cheap_, not that it was good.

Obviously that comment IS needed and insightful, seeing all the mouth breathers who cannot tell about the RT from the Pro.

People cry about 900g being heavy, but try to find a laptop of that size thats even remotely as capable. Even the smallert Macbook air is heavier, and its inferior in every single way.

Plus the docking station with 4k capable video out should take care about it anyway.

Ah, right. Because nobody cares about an order of magnitude speed difference.
Because all those nice, docile consumers in their walled google/apple gardens don't need to MAKE anything, and media decoding is done in hardware codecs.

I guess your office is stuffed with professional web-browsers?

If the US wanted bitcoin gone, they could have done so.

There exists something called an "51% attack", which means that anybody having more than half the hashrate of the Network is acknowledged as the boss and can do as he wants (stuff like spending the same bitcoin multiple times, manipulate the difficulty of future block mining, etc).

Back in April, before mass ASICS, the US could have trivially gotten that far. Hell, last year anybody willing to spend 5-10 million could have done it with off-the-counter hardware.

For an agencies who have a double digit BILLION black budgets, this is totally peanuts.

I don't think its disturbing to be able to buy them "so easily".

I mean, seriously. You need a credit card or paypal to buy from them, so you are no infant in the "I eat metal stuff" phase.

And secondly, you have dozens of way more deadly things in your appartment at any time, anyway.

DX made a new site just for their lasers. I think the name is yourlaser.com or something.

IIRC, they did this because custom troubles for the main DX stuff,even if their were no lasers, got out of hand, in particular in australia.

No, it did NOT work as planned. Because those dipoles were supposed to de-orbit after a few months.

Instead, a significant part is STILL up there.

You might not realize it, but I would bet a lot of money that 90% of the time, you are using less than 20% of the power your car has.

Seriously. If you have a 200HP car, it will do that if you floor the pedal a bit below the redline. Normal driving? It takes maybe 15-20HP to keep a car moving at 70MPH on the highway.

This is just like Kafkas "Der Prozess".

You got secret laws that people/companies are ordered by a secret court to be followed, and they are not even allowed to tell anybody about it.

Land of the free.
