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)"

    Of course not! The stupid people get to be presidents, instead...

    A federal court has granted an injunction sought by President George W Bush to halt a labour dispute at West Coast ports that has cost the economy up to $2bn a day.

    Mr Bush said the dispute over the introduction of new technology had to end because it was damaging the country's economy and posing a threat to national security.

    Nice going there, GWB. Crush a legitimate labour dispute with vague, catch-all arguments like the latter one. Of course, the dispute hurts the economy. That's the whole point! So, instead of addressing the source of discontent you just go and tell these people shut up and get back to work.

    What a wonderful system capitalism is...

    So, using your logic we can come to a conclusion that peaceful people are dumb. Pal, you're the dumbass here, so don't push it ! Intelligent people tend to be peaceful.

    And my real first name comes from a latin word meaning pacifist.
