Right, so without knowing much about physics I'm guessing that momentum is preserved and IceCube works a little bit like a giant cloud chamber but looks for trails of Cherenkov radiation rather than an ionized particle trail.

While I knew that IceCube existed it didn't occur to me until know that I have no idea how they filter out collisions from particles that comes from above or sideways. Is the resulting flash of light not omnidirectional? Is it polarize

That's almost forty years ago. You are basically playing Where's Waldo with military aviation history.

These places do exist. They are very nice. For some reason they always seem to be privately owned by one person rather than publicly traded or owned by a corporation. At least in my experience.

It's easy to get bitter about these things. "Experience" seems to be code for: "we've spent fifteen years painting ourself into a corner and now we need a guy who will get us out of it in three months or less&quot

Most consumer electronics companies are like this. It's not only a yearly release cycle but a Christmas release cycle. New Shiny Thing has to be in the stores by late November so all development has to be done in August so the factor

I'm not trolling. Violent crime necessitates armed law enforcement. While the rise in violent crime isn't caused by unarmed police officers the fact that they are unarmed didn't prohibit the rise in violent crime.

I've heard the opposite. Keeping the shades open is so that the rescue crews can look into the plane in case of a crash/accident.

I would like to see how this kind of immigration is defined. I once worked for a company that was founded and went through the startup phase outside of the US. Once it was somewhat mature and had a steady income stream the CEO moved to the

The analyses on why movies looks like they do today has been done to death already. What happened was that piracy and other forms of commodification gutted the entire middle segment of movie making. What remains today is indie movies and Ma

I'm guessing it's because the AC voltage will introduce noise on the DC low voltage current. But like everything else it depends. Is the DC feeding something like a lightbulb or a fan? Then it probably won't matter. Does th

I just checked. The power button is locked out but the volume knob works now. Now I feel stupid, but it's quite possible that it has been patched during a yearly service.

My Nissan has a center console that cedes ALL controls to the rear camera app when the car is put in reverse. So if you have music playing you can twist the physical volume knob all you like while in reverse and nothing will happen! If yo

That's probably because there's a legal obligation to put an expiration date on it. Where I live all consumables have to have an expiration date so there is a best before date on table salt. Salt. Most likely this is because it&
