  1. Re:Longer lifetimes is the answer on Quantum Setback For Warp Drives · · Score: 0

    Depends on whether we can engineer ourselves to live 50 years in a tiny spacecraft with a bunch of strangers.

    Well hopefully they aren't strangers the entire time.

  2. Re:I missed it? on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 0

    Does it work for film the same as it does for TV shows? I thought if you distribute a copy prior to it's official release, it's now a punishable offense, and not just a civil suit.

  3. Time for a Pip-boy on Solving Obama's BlackBerry Dilemma · · Score: 0

    I think that would solve all the problems listed here. Anyone have any plans drawn up?

  4. Oblig Joke on Have Mathematics Exams Become Easier? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't believe nobody included the obligatory joke on this. Also, my first post on slashdot :)

    Teaching Math in the 1950's:

            A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?

    Teaching Math in the 1960's:

            A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

    Teaching Math in the 1970's:

            A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

    Teaching Math in the 1980's:

            A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Underline the number 20.

    Teaching Math in the 1990's:

            A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. )

    Teaching Math in the 2000's:

            Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
