Nobel Prizes for Physics Awarded to Smart People

Posted by chrisd on from the cowboyneal-prize-for-coolness dept.

bobol6 writes "The 2002 Nobel Prize for Physics is out. The $1 Million is split two ways: Riccardo Giacconi gets half for building the first X-Ray telescopes, and Raymond Davis, Jr and Masatoshi Koshiba split the other half. Davis invented the water tank neutrino detector, and Koshiba used a more sophisticated one to discover neutrino oscillation. The original press release is available . News articles can be found at Science Daily and The New York Times. (Free Blah di Blah)"

    I've never quite understood why people think that "getting laid" is so important.

    Yeah, sex is fun, but all the crap that comes with it just makes it not worth it.

    Playing the stupid "courting game" with the girl. "Oh, you're so pretty and smart. I've never met someone like you. Tell me about yourself..."
    STDs
    "I'm not just another fuck, am I?" and other inane questions
    "Please call me tomorrow"/"When can we meet again?"
    and so on ad nauseam.

    Yet another rejected quality story that got rejected by slashdot fuckfaces. Brought to you by Hacker underground.

    XBOX Mediaplayer Infringing GPL

    Anonymous windows coders have made a mediaplayer for X-box which uses GPL licensed FFMPEG and XVID sources in their closed-source product. Developers can't be contacted because they don't publish their e-mail addresses. As a result XVID development has been stopped. This isn't the first time someone decides to steal open source code - Sigma Designs stole XVID code, but was forced to release the source

    Most PEOPLE are 10x more ethical than abortion clinic bombers. Hell, most FUNDAMENTALISTS are more ethical than that.

    As Israel being founded by terrorism, that's ridiculous. Israel was created by the UN by charter and was immediately ATTACKED by the surrounding nations. Israel did not strike first until 1978.

  16. Runners up? (Re:Not one single useful comment) by phorm · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    It's hard to grouch overly that somebody else deserved the prize when the runners up aren't listed. One thing that sucks, it seems that for one to become a brilliant Nobel winning scientist, it generally takes a lifetime of research (they all look fairly old).
    What's the youngest age of somebody to win a Nobel? It would somewhat suck if you won a million bucks but were too old to fully enjoy it.
