That's tough enough to do when all the processors use the same instruction set, but if the system has processors with different instruction sets, it makes it much harder to have the OS/system switch from a lower powered mode where it's running on the ARM processors to a high performance mode where it's running on the x86 processors. It's not impossible, it's just very complicated and I don't see companies lining up to do the work to implement something like that.

It is legally enforceable. Look up promissory estoppel. Basically it's a legal doctrine that says that if someone makes a representation or promise to you regarding something and you take action based on that promise, that person can't sue you for acting on that promise. E.g. if you release something and promise not to sue anyone for redistribution, then legally you no longer have the right to sue anyone for redistribution.

Let me ask you, are MRIs something you consider useful? The work done by scientists to get the superconducting magnets setup and working on the tevatron resulted in knowledge and skills needed to make the superconducting magnets used in MRI systems. The work at the LHC provides cutting edge experience working with superconducting magnets and power systems, ultrahigh speed electronics, distributed storage and computing systems, high bandwidth networking and that's aside from the purely scientific benefits. If you design and build something that requires cutting edge electronics, and cryogenics to work and produces a few petabytes of data each year that needs to be distributed internationally and processed, you'll get a lot of experience and new technologies that probably come in handy for non-science related things as well.

You're not going to be helping the general population by visiting. The money you spend goes directly to the north korean government and not the people. It's not as if your guide/escort is going to let you interact significantly with the average person or buy anything from them.

If you look at reports and studies by a variety of sources (south korean, us, UN, NGO, chinese, etc), they all pretty much paint similar pictures of what's happening in north korean. I suppose everyone could be lying and you magically have the truth of the situation but it's doubtful. Based on a reasonable interpretation of the reports and evidence, the north koreans do have it pretty bad and aren't doing fine and wouldn't be unhappy if things changed. Honestly, it sounds like you're willfully blinding yourself to the evidence out there or are hopelessly naive.

It sounds like you'd be fine with visiting Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge or Soviet gulags as well. Between 1990-1997 Korea lost between 5-12% of the population to starvation with the military getting preferential treatment in regards to food rations and everyone else being effectively left to fend for themselves. North Korea is still suffering from famine and according to reports people are getting about 700 calories a day of food. Also, north koreans are apparently about five inches shorter on average than equivalent south koreans.

Either you're woefully misinformed about the situation in North Korea or you're intentionally blinding yourself to it or you simply don't care. If the problem is the former, I'd suggest reading up on things before saying that things are fine and dandy. If it's the latter, well, you should spend time trying to find some compassion and humanity within yourself instead of traveling so much.

'Capturing the surroundings' still won't help you do any predictions for sources with quantum randomness. At best you can say that a source would exhibit a certain behaviour x% of the time. Quantum systems are not deterministic so even with perfect state information, you can only give probabilities that certain things happen. If you know otherwise, feel free to let others know and collect your nobel prize(s).

Newton's laws of motion don't discuss momentum at all. Also momentum does not increase as the square of velocity, in newtonian mechanics, p=mv so momentum increases proportionally to velocity. Kinetic energy increases as the square of velocity (k=.5*mv^2). But even that doesn't really determine how bad an accident is since you need to know how elastic the collusion is and the impulse since those tend to be better indicators of the severity.

Gravitation effects occurring on neutrinos during a 732km trip are pretty much non-existent and wouldn't add 18m. Neutrinos are very weakly interacting particles and to expect them be significantly affected by gravity on a 732km trip is laughable.

Relative to the earth. The earth is in constant motion but so are the two sites involved in the experiment and in fact, they are in almost the same motion as each other so yes you can talk about sending things straight between the two sites.

Calling people idiots seems to be your standard m.o., perhaps you should check yourself for the idiocy, first.

Linear measurements are what you want. Particle beams travel in straight lines unless they are bent by a magnetic or electric field or something similar. Given that these are neutrinos, they just sent a beam straight from CERN to Gran Sasso right through any intervening rocks.

That hasn't been true for a while. Nowadays, reduced sizes mean that the heat generation doesn't go down because the gates and chip features are small enough that voltage leaks through and generates waste heat. Intel and AMD have done a lot to avoid or mitigate this through better materials and different process technologies. However, it's still there since the TDP for processors have basically been stagnant for a while.
