So, it is armor, that dodges the bullets when they are heading for your body. Um, wouldn't the armor work best when it is BETWEEN me and the lead projectile?
When it comes to planets, it is better to be overweight. If the planet is too small, it might not be able to maintain its atmosphere and any life would die. Having higher gravity will put a handicap on the size of terrestrial life, but aquatic life would survive just fine.
This is the reason that Slashdotters who support Linux shouldn't be fixing every Windows PC around and giving others pirated software. So many people think they're sticking it to the man by using pirated proprietary software, but it only increases the user base of it.
Microsoft is happy to let the Chinese pirate everything, because it locks them in and increases their user base. Without it, alternatives like Red Flag Linux might actually have a few users.
The majority of people donâ(TM)t care whether a program is proprietary or open source because the majority of people will never modify their operating system. A free launch is a free launch regardless of packaging and I have no doubt that most of the people who have Linux computers use it because it is free, just as most of the people who use Windows use it because it came with their system. The only difference between the two people is that one person knew how to install an operating system and/or build a computer and the other guy didnâ(TM)t.
Name the sites after atomic scientists. That way, even if civilization takes a turn for the worst and the usual safety systems go under, our great*10^5-grandchildren will know to avoid Mount Einstein while they are roaming the lands hunting polar bears.
With a 50 year long copyright, if I produced a song as a teenager, I would still own the rights even after the time that I am eligible for my pension.
With a 95 year long copyright, if I produced a song, the recording industry would be profiting off of my works for decades after I am dead.
So what if an institution cant meat their quota? âoeNO, you cannot hire any more Einsteins until you find at least one more Marie Curie, or else we will cut your grant!â
Anyone got the math for how much video memory you'd need to render a landscape at high enough resolution with a large and complex enough environment to fool the human eye?
We already have more than enough to do that. We need better level of detail algorithms so we stop wasting the processorsâ(TM) valuable time rendering those leaves 27 miles away.

Really, do it, this Slashdot artical alone would have knocked that listing off the map of Google.

Looks like MIT just gave us a little picklet, will we repair our roads or use the potholes to power our cars?
Great, now my grandma is going to call me up to ask why the Internets isn't working. Then I will have to go to Walmart just to buy my free webbrowser.
It will soon be discoverd that two quadrupeds can be killed with one stone.
Aka the cheapest microscope that we can put in a rocket.
How could this be for publicity? Their customers wonâ(TM)t be able to buy the tickets without the Travelosity Gnome to help them.
The Chinese has issued a strong warning to travelers home from the Beijing Olympics...
Humans will always be better adapted to survive an electromagnetic pulse.
Every time I hear the name Hasbro, it is suing someone for infringing upon some old game that they either made or bought decades ago.
Is the bad man going to sue Santa too?
Another industry offshores off to Asia.

I live in the 21st century, I use tools to convert units into more sensible measurements! It's 524 meters.
