  1. Country matters here more so than in most cases. US has a "fair use" provision. Other countries have different laws in place though. Main issue would be if you are making money off it. Second issue would be if the copyright owner feels they have an obligation to defend their copyright regardless. Third issue is if you and the copyright owner are in the same country. As it sounds like you are thinking of making money with this you would be well advised to go to a professional or at least jump over to one of the "ask a lawyer" sites. lol Images from the TV show V just popped into my head.
  2. There are also plants. Some of them will even change color in response. Assorted animal species could also work depending on what you want. Most sensors aren't particularly impacting, mainly just so they can continue to act as a sensor and not for environmental reasons. Real benefit would be for dual function uses. Ornamental or food crops that tell you when they are having problems or that something is wrong in your (shared) environment.
  3. If they truly meant Teradynes per second, they might yet be saved. The "yank" is SI derived unit for the equivalent N/s. I can't imagine anyone ever wanting to refer to their engine as having an output of 4*10^10 yanks.
  4. Probably is just the result of underlying properties we are not fully aware of. I'm thinking c is a minimum for some other system that just appears as a fairly arbitrary maximum to us.
  5. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Dyne Memory Alpha to the rescue! Edit: Real thing too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyne
  6. How to put it... It is okay to be selfish, it is not okay to be selfish 24/7. That is how I see it anyways. Mainly what you are talking about(and possibly feeling) sounds like peer pressure.
  7. Meh, you don't have to reach far at all for a scientific reason for love. Different chemicals produced naturally by the body have addictive qualities. You associate a person with that high and you have love. In my own opinion love for our species has an additional intellectual component, but the chemical basis is pretty straightforward. EDIT: Cross posted with iNow. But his is better so go read his instead

  9. ^The more important question is where are you building this bomb. Link below should give you an idea of the minimum mass needed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_vessel#Scaling All kinds of regulations associated and cost would be high. If you can give some specifics we might be able to get the pressure down to something safer to work with.
  10. Are you asking about the flyby anomaly itself, maybe?
  11. Looks like it was just a "maybe" opinion by presumably an expert in the field. Dromaeosaurinae is the subfamily if you want to look into it more.
  12. To find ideal efficiency your graph should look roughly like this: I don't know any better way to explain it. What you have is the very rough CO2 equivalent of a steam engine. Energy from Evaporation - Condensation has been around for a long while. Eyeballing it, your graph seems to be missing a pressure drop between B and C.
  13. Sometimes posts have appeared to change without the line appearing. I've never not seen it on mine, but don't always see it on others.
  14. Just curious do other people see the "edit by" line at the bottom of a post after you edit it? I have been wondering if there is a time limit on editing as well or if it is just until another poster responds.
  15. You would need to compress and cool the CO2 to cause it to form a liquid. Then to cause it to expand you will need a heat source and obviously decompression. Heat sink, heat source, equals Carnot cycle. To have it to also move the the piston you are increasing your demand on the environmental heat sink and heat source. In practical terms I would expect minimal useful work out of this setup.
  16. Likely there was just an intermediate branch that has since died off. Reptiles can quite provably inhabit the same areas while being capable of laying eggs on land and are better able to deal with moving between saltwater, brackish and freshwater.
  17. As long as the matter is outside the event horizon it is still free to go on its merry way.
  18. Can you try copy/pasting using a different browser? Looking around seems like different plugins are the most common cause of problems.
  19. Where does the energy for the initial pressure come from? R744 really isn't my favorite refrigerant anyways. R12 or R134a would likely serve you better IMO. CO2 should be left for dry ice systems, deposit free cleaning and possibly Mars exploration.
  20. I think you could use ocean pressure to condense it. Bit extreme but could be done. More concerning is the lack of mention of an external energy source to evaporate it again. Looks like a perpetual motion attempt if I'm understanding it correctly. Could be wrong but what it appears to me as. For the most part the paper itself is readable. Still could use proofreading by someone local. Maybe they could help clarify the meaning as well if we are in fact misunderstanding it.
  21. My present thinking is that anything time reversed still appears to us as moving forwards. Been kind of thinking that we may be able to look at a black hole as acting as a double temporal mirror depending on the properties of hawking radiation. Can't look into it much though until we get some hard evidence of hawking radiation in the first place. In any case I think proof or any zones are essentially hidden from our view. Literally or in the sense that our interpretation of events will be forward biased.
  22. You'll want to search around so it'll be customized to you and your projects/interests. "Best resources for [insert programming language here] programming" is a pretty good search to get started with. I give you mine and you'd be getting JavaScript, regular expressions and html5 resources. Quite likely not what you desire. Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled discussion.
  23. Yeah, epigenetic changes are interesting. Makes sense for life to have more tricks in its toolkit than the fairly static DNA. Do wish we understood the mechanisms better. Seems like we could get some decent use out of it without messing with(or messing up) the underlying DNA.
