UV wave generation requires significantly more energy consumption than microwaves. Plus, UV radiation is highly absorbed in the atmosphere, leading to low signal to noise ratio.

Indeed it did, to the point where it wasn't interesting. Which is why RoN didn't pick up on the e-sports (or even multiplayer) scene, unfortunately.

Yet nobody found it. The closest thing to a roach rush people found was the 5-roach build [1], which is slower and it suffers a lot economically if the rush fails. For the record, though, I've played against the 7-roach build a couple of we

This is half true. Indeed, currently European/NA players play quite "standard" at tournaments, avoiding rushes and "all-in" strategies. The Koreans, however, at GSL have shown that they're neither afraid nor hesitant to do so. edit: GSL, no

Sir, you get an A in my book just for the effort! I've been looking for a way to get a small guitar recording studio going at home, and I got so frustrated with Cubase messing with my audio card that I sort of "gave up". Nobody writes low l

This is certainly interesting. Surely, some conclusions could be drawn from transplant recipients even today. Being a matter which could cause significant controversy in the medical community, I wouldn't expect to see any non-anecdotal data

The article is only referring to the motion to dismiss the case, not the case itself. The ruling by the judge, Justice Paul Wooten of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, did not find that the girl was liable, but merely permitted a lawsuit br

Wow, this place really does not like sarcasm. There's nothing for me to get over. I can't stop people from using drugs. However, oversimplified statements made to dazzle, like yours, really tick me. There are many kinds and definitions of a

Preventing the site from declining into a set of meanness and stupidity (I believe the two are closely related) is something I think about constantly. Does that imply anything regarding hateful posts in HN, or is it just a 'hey, there's a

I meant that even today, it's near impossible to predict the state of the economy next week, let alone in 20 years. We're also talking about a completely different society, like most societies changed from the '60s to the '80s and so forth.

That's another very interesting difficulty: the symbol for ohm is supposed to be the Greek capital omega. Resolving such ambiguities (where applicable, of course) would probably add a lot of complicated code, and I'm not 100% sure it's triv

Alcohol doesn't kill brain cells. It's a myth. Also, while I disapprove of marijuana abuse (I've used twice, never felt like it could benefit me in any way), I would like all movements to legalize marijuana to wait until there's a) a compre

I'm behind this statement. As another wise man once said, we could also take the warning labels off everything and let our problems solve themselves.

I'd rather not have my privacy invaded, but you make a fair point. This is one of the few reasons I'm currently (actively) trying to stay away from the US. As far as it's in my power, I refuse to be presumed guilty, and go through such an o

There is, however, a somewhat deeper concern. Namely that providing the tools that makes misdeeds easier makes a person accountable to a degree. Under law? I mean, I know there's a similar law where I live (Greece) for prostitution, and i

I think a better way to put it is this: When you hear "XPS" your mind doesn't immediately go to the Dell laptop (probably). When you hear "Microsoft" though, "Windows", "Office", "Xbox", all the jazz, immediately go through your head.

You make an interesting case, which I think is backed up by two things, in the special case of the x86 instruction set: - Instruction opcodes and arguments don't occupy a fixed space or position. This leads to a significant increase in leth

After a quick glance on the OP's comments, I don't think it's that his posts lack content or insight, but rather are expressed in a style and/or tone some find unpleasant.
