Statistics are a wonderful thing... barring bad design or the possibility that they repeated the experiment until they got a good result, inferential stats says it is a solid result. If anything, seeing an effect with small N suggests that it is more likely to be actually significant instead of just statistically significant.
I have been thoroughly amused by a lot of these comments, but does anyone know what the racial makeup is of slashdot readers as compared to the video gamers and the general public?
That's right... all forward progress needs to be stopped. All the creative people need to put on their headphones that squash intelligent thought. In fact, we should probably do it to everyone straight from the womb, just to make sure no free thinkers get by...
You never know what might actually work until you try. It sounds like they have made some progress on something that even in one-dimension was thought to be impossible for a long time. Good for them!
I want the line item that says garbage collection fee to pay for the garbage collection fee, not the policemans' ball, nor high-speed internet. I don't care if they add another fee for those, but it should be spelled out as such.
From the bill it actually sounds the other way around. That taxes, garbage collection fees, etc... can not be used to subsidize greenlight. Which doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
Yes, I guess it takes a responsible exchange service that will guarantee their product. The good thing about batteries is it is fairly straightforward to check their charge capacity.
That's the advantage of swapping, some one else is worrying about battery replacement. Kind of like your BBQ propane tank, they get old, but its not your problem.

unfortunately PTA, it also contains propyl cyanide, so while you might be able to taste the raspberry, you won't enjoy it for long
How clever is it though? As you suggest fluid dynamics could probably be used as well, and certainly other mathematical approaches could be taken. So why did the authors choose to use quantum mechanics instead of these? I fail to see what can be taken away from this, or what benefit this has in modeling high-level cognition.
has anyone even considered that some 17th century explorer is just playing a trick on everyone by having taken an old skeleton from southeast Asia and dumping it in the water...
The key words are published earlier this month in PNAS. A working cathode prototype is the only unpublished news. Which isn't very exciting to someone that doesn't know anything about the mechanistic differences between an anode and a cathode anyway. Not compared to using bugs to build batteries.

We still have one in my little town outside of Austin, TX! - Not sure if my son is willing to get on it again though.
If only policy makers would stop being beauty queens, and the general public pageant voters. We should all get back to our proper places...

Woops, guess I am a little behind schedule
I have to say, every now and then, /. surprises me in a good way. People actually give a damn here.
I am sure that is just a side-effect of the nicotine

Cyanobacteria not algae, in most instances it isn't good for animals to eat...
Huhmmm... this reminds me of a movie/book with a large meat eating dinosaur in it.
Not a bad idea - dragging the conspiracy nuts to the moon...
The nice thing about GPS is you wouldn't have to pay taxes for driving up and down your driveway...
is somewhere around 435 square miles, and 400 feet deep. In which way are the two alike?
Couldn't we just then drop a bunch of limestone into the ocean to mitigate the acidification?

Actually... Check out the lng/lunix project.

Making bacon cut through iron... what is better than that?

Seems like 500 TB in the library of congress, At 10Tb an inch -- About 400 square inches for the library of congress.
It isn't just selecting those that can survive in outer-space but those that are more able to adapt to changing conditions.
