  1. SpaceX has had one Falcon 9 launch failure in its entire history. A simple google search and you can avoid the embarrassment of looking daft.

  2. Re:New kind of pickup truck? on Tesla's 'Master Plan, Part Deux' Includes Trucks, Buses and Ride-Sharing (latimes.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    What a silly comment. That's not a concept from Tesla, but a mockup from a fan. That it's a Model X front photoshopped onto a truck should've clued you off.

  3. Re:Can it be closed? on Pdf.js Reaches First Milestone · · Score: 1

    That capability is Safari's, nothing to do with OS X. Google Chrome can also display PDF's inline.

  4. Re:sweet on Campaign Saves Unique Turing Archive · · Score: 0

    You give enough of a fuck to huff and puff. You must be steaming mad that Slashdot isn't catering to your tastes.

  5. No bias necessary on China's Politburo Behind Google Cyber-Attack? · · Score: 1

    Examples such as many middle eastern counties (Saudi, Jordan and Egypt etc) urging US to bomb Iran

    Not surprising, really. Relations between the majority Sunni Arab countries and Iran have always been tense and they would loathe the prospect of a nuclear armed Iran.

  6. Solar Cells on Rudolph the Cadmium-Nosed Reindeer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most thin film solar cells are based on cadmium telluride. Cadmium is one of the rarer metals so making children's bracelets out of it seems like a waste as well.

  7. Re:Everyone should have one... on LHC Shut Down Again — By Baguette-Dropping Bird · · Score: 1

    It needs to be if they plan on toasting bread with temperatures near absolute zero.

  8. Re:DNA is digital on Sequencing a Human Genome In a Week · · Score: 1

    You're using a very liberal definition of DNA.

  9. DNA is digital on Sequencing a Human Genome In a Week · · Score: 2, Informative

    Four bases and not much in between.

  10. Re:Canada: more sanity than greed. on Canada Rejects Business Method Patents · · Score: 1

    About three quarters of Canada's population lives within 100 miles of the border. So in that sense he hasn't confused anything.

  11. Exact word matching can be done on Google Unveils Search Options and Google Squared · · Score: 1

    Don't know about regex or non-alphanumeric characters, but to get an exact match just add a + before the word or the phrase in quotes.

  12. Re:It's just a fresnel lens on Optical Concentrator To Make Solar Power Cheaper · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not a fresnel lens. The light is reflected internally and concentrated towards the center rather than being refracted towards a focal point some distance away. As always, pictures speak louder than words: http://www.morgansolar.com/images/technology/lgophoto1_full.jpg

  13. Re:Maybe is Obama on Stephen Hawking Going To Canada · · Score: 1

    1. Stephen Hawking is British, not American. 2. What is the likelihood of a McCain voter moving to Canada of all places?

  14. What about the most displaced article? on Six Degrees of Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    That is, the article who has the largest average of shortest paths to every other article.
