I think the main objection to the millimetre wave scanner is that it's a virtual strip search.

His head doesn't move a millimetre, it's all body motion. Amazing.

I think they mean they're millimetre wave instead of backscatter X-Ray, but they're still intrusive. They show up anything they find on a 'cartoon' image.

[3]: Err: 100m are enough get the 100M concentration on the square millimetre, right? A perfect lens of that surface would only need to be about 11 meters in diameter.

I'd heard "measure twice, cut once" a hundred times and was terrified of getting any measurements even a millimetre out. The key to a beautiful finished product was precision, I thought.

It starts with a very light millimetre drop to place your finger. Then the tactile bump, and when that gives way, still near the top to the throw and exactly when the switch activates, it's so fast that it's almost like the key itself is pulling away from you.

I've seen people use Excel with millimetre-scaled columns for creating bills and other documents instead of using Word, no joke. You see a surprisingly high amount of excel-based bill templates - and you may want to hotlink the company logo or a signature.

Utilitarianism be damned - not a single millimetre of freedom should be sacrificed in a vain attempt to limit that human tendency.

Radiation at that frequency penetrates less than half a millimetre into the skin, so the beam was supposed to deliver an intense burning sensation to anyone in its path, forcing them to move away, but without, in theory, causing permanent damage. However, the day of the test was cold and rainy.

Recording engineers position their microphones with millimetre precision in order to combat phase issues, and that is in an ideal studio scenario. Doing what you suggest is basically impossible.

They have gotten back to me because an image was fractions of a millimetre off compared to other images in my brochure and similar minuscule details that make the difference between a good and a great product. The best way is to use Google Translate and find the German name of the product you want to manufacture and search like that since a lot of sites are in German only.

Personally, I don't buy the idea that a customer goes into a store and measures whether an iPad or a Galaxy Tab is a few tenths of a millimetre thicker before making their purchasing decision. On the other hand, I do buy the idea that a lot of people are shocked and then angry after their Apple gear gets damaged and they learn how much it's going to cost to repair and how long it's going to take, not least because I personally know several people who have been stung in that way.

In fact, it gives manufacturers an incentive to cram every single cubic millimetre they're given with as much functionality as possible, or at least sensible, because their revenue will depend on this utterly in a freer market. Has that been the case so far? I've repaired my Nexus 4. There are plenty of cubic millimetres of space being used that, strictly speaking, don't really need to be. Most of what's happening here is that these structural cubic millimetres are being shifted to a different and sure, a bit less efficient shape.

Now, imagine that doesn't have to include an aerial, or much of an amplifier, because even if you get a dodgy connection you're transmitting fractions of a millimetre into a chunk of metal, and you're looking at something that can be shrunk down to well within the scale Phonebloks needs, for pennies a block. With something analogous to a router running a zeroconf system on the baseboard, it's not even particularly difficult to see how you might handle service discovery from the blocks you plug in.
