I have never seen their magazine before but this is basically just an advertisement to get people to subscribe. I get the marketing value of it but usually Slashdot folks see through this sort of thing.
You're thinking hot like lightbulbs. Ordinary bulbs are hot to the touch since 80% of the input energy is wasted as heat. But a mercury vapor tube/bulb is not hot, you can touch it, because it's at 25 kHz so it can use low power and have very little heat waste. That's why fluorescent lighting is more efficient and cheaper. Likewise these won't be hot compared to the bodies around them.
I submitted this link but it says 'pending', so maybe they liked your writeup and my link. It's mashably terrific. I think we could all live without a physorg monopoly for one day.
Because it's a plasma antenna, it's tunable on the fly. No jamming tech ( though it will surely follow ) works on every f at once. The invisibility is just because it shuts off so then is basically inert.
The orbiting star that eclipses it every 3.5 days basically throws most knowledge of black holes out the window - it defies the standard evolution of black holes as we have known them.
That's brilliant stuff. I can't vote it up or I would. Actually, I don't know how to do anything yet because I am a rookie, I am just tickled I had an article get honored. I thought it would have been the one about the guy trying to sell his missile base on Ebay but serious science probably makes for better humor - and I bet all of the Austin Powers jokes that go with owning your own missile silo have been done already.

They hate plagiarizers. But they are plagiarizers. And they hate irony!

Fucking facepalm. I can't believe I typoed that. :(
That's what we call irony.

Oh sure, exploit the newbie. But that's funny stuff.
And I can't find a cached version of it anywhere.
