Double Pulsar Discovered

jabberjaw writes "Nature is reporting that a set of two pulsars could be emitting gravitational waves. Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves in his general theory of relativity, but a gravitational wave has yet to be detected. Find out more about gravitational waves and pulsars at Eric Weisstein's World of Physics."

    I just have one question: "Double pulsar." Is this or isn't this a common element in hardcore porn? Yes or no.

    Thanks. But I have never "trolled".
    It was a 'joke' which is why there is a moderation designation "funny" (along with one for "troll" for actual trolls).
    Please go have a look at the jargon dictionary for the proper definition.
    I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again. *shakes finger at you*

    Oh no no, you misunderstand. I put "Troll" in quotes because I didn't agree with the mod. But I see now you have your 5 funny points, so all is right in the /. world.

    Question. Why would decreasing Slashdot's signal-to-noise ratio cause the editors to admit anything?

    Decreasing the s/n ratio helps to publicaly discredit slashdot as a news site. This, in turn, helps lower the commercial value of slashdot, which will hopefully liberate slashdot of the censorship and other bullshit.

    WOW quicktime and realmedia! My 2 most favourite movie formats! oh the sarcasm!

    non-opinion mode:

    quicktime for windows is awful to use, it flickers with XPs alphablending crap and its skinned is round and not square which is space wasting and take resources/hard to accellerate for Windows 10 year old GUI.

    realmedia is just some mock-up of a format which heavily cuts down on FPS, colors and resolution. PLEASE dont use any WMF because of M$ hunger for taking-things-over-and-making-them-suck. how about divX or old MPG2?

    BTW M$ took over internet by bundling IE and giving it out free, now they want online video streaming standard with their WMV format. As its not open at all, M$ should be hacked or forced to give out source code and complete specs. At least give Linux etc a chance.
