A ~0.2 kg block of pure Gd148 (~1 in^3) initially yields ~120 watts, sufficient in theory to meet the complete basal power needs of an entire human body for ~1 century (given suitable nucleochemical energy conversion and load buffering mechanisms, and a sufficiently well-divided structure).
So, could this also be used to power a laptop?
Imagine a laptop battery that doesn't have to be recharged, ever.
Sure, the cost would be greater, but imagine the savings.
How much is the price of Gd148 anyway?

If you have 7 feet and divide by 3, you still have 7.33.. feet, and you can write it that way. To write 7 ft. 4 in. is more accurate, but the two are synonymous.
Likewise to 7 meters divided by 3 is 7.33.. meters or 7 meter 3 decimeters 3 centimeters...3 nanometers...etc.
I don't think divide means what you think it means.
7 meters divided by 3 is 2.33 meters.
7 feet divided by 3 is 28 inches (2 ft 4 in)

And how doe every photo of the formation, from all kinds of different angles, all see the same spiral that the 3D twisting project into to the observer? Someone watching on-axis would see that perfect spiral, but not all the observers at all the angles.
Have you seen northern Norway?

It would take maybe 1-2 hours to cross Norway from west to east so far north. So if the missile was launched north-east of norway most of northern norway would be on the same axis.

When posting things to facebook I usually limit pictures etc to "friends of friends". I like to think my friends are just as selective on who they add as friends as I am. The whole web-of-trust-thing.
By adding everyone you shred that web. Imagine someone stalking a friend of you. Instead of stalking him/her directly, they try to add friends from her friendlist to get close to him/her.
Adding people you don't know is stupid.

Actually we do.
I wish they could make my phone (Nokia 6110 navigator) larger so I could have a longer lasting battery. But they don't make that phone.
Double the battery would be excellent. Don't even have to double the size, just make it a bit thicker.

Take one meter. Make a cube of that side, a cubic meter. Fill that with water near the sea level and you get a volume of 1 Liter of water. Which happens to have a mass of Kilogram.
I have to stop you right there. 1x1x1 meter is in fact 1000 liters, and 1000 Kg.
It would we very impractical to buy 1 liter of milk and have to carry a box with the size of 1 cubic meter

Actually, it's the same in norwegian: tretten (13) to nitten (19)
Ofcourse we use a different word, namely tenåring.
In swedish the word is tonåring, and the words are from tretton (13) to nitton (19).
Some other countries, for instance Denmark, just use the word teenager to mean 13-19.

Submission + - Company changes name to include SQL attack
Harald Paulsen writes: Edvin Syse, a Norwegian business owner took some inspiration from a XKCD strip featuring a SQL injection attack. He sent in the paperwork to legally change the name of his one man company to include an ficticious SQL-injection. So far his attempts to lower his taxes has failed but he did get a call from the norwegian business register asking why his company was suddenly so popular.
