  1. What realllly happened on Serious Magnet Failure at CERN's New Accelerator · · Score: 0

    Brian Greene and his army of staunch string theorists realized their idea would be disproven and the Higgs would not be found, so they sabotaged the project to save their government funding.

  2. hm... on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 0

    seems like this shouldn't be much of a big deal. Just as there is a robots.txt file to keep bots out, if Shell wins in court, this shouldn't require much more than a line of code in the main html of web pages to allow bots.

    The ruling could not be grandfathered, so all that should happen is that Google require the opt-in code for all sites that have not been indexed by its spiders, something that web page creators/providers can even default into the main html. All of those who wish not to be indexed whose sites originated previous to the ruling would have the same robots.txt file restriction applied, while those who create webpages after the ruling either put in the opt-in code or don't.

    This is a pretty inconsequential case, IMO.

    Well, the same could be said of Ken Lay. He certainly did a "bang-up" job at Enron... until he got caught defrauding the public.



    Lay even won the prestigious Gas magazine's "Man of the Year award"

    "Who's served by the delisting of Apple?" asked Jahan Raissi, a partner at Shartsis Friese who represents companies in SEC matters. "If it was Joe's Shlock and Poultry Farm, then sure, get them out of there. But not Apple."


    Welcome to America, where the corporation reigns. You do the crime, you have to face the punishment. The stockholders had better sell quick. Its only fitting that my brand new Macbook crashed yesterday. Im in a perfectly good mood for Apple to suffer.

    I am assuming that is a joke, correct? THere are many pluto-sized planets, even in our own solar system. Thats why Pluto was demoted as a planet. Though the odds of us seeing a planet of Pluto's size are relatively slim considering the fact that against all the background of space, a small object such as that might not stick out, there are infinitely many Pluto-sized objects out there.
