Wouldn't the best shape be a tetrahedron with a sphere engraved inside? the arms and exterior structure of the tetrahedron will allow for a rigid skeleton and optimum angles to deflect flak and radar and big arms to maximize the displacement of engines from the center of mass. The sphere is good in withstanding internal pressures, and can act as a centrifuge, not to mention containing atmosphere.
JARKA (OP) - Indonesian octopuses have discovered rubber flippers that attach themselves onto vertebrate animals that transport them across water - unusually sophisticated behavior that the researchers believe is the first evidence of intelligence in synthetic tools.
The origamians have an interesting sub-solution. Provided that there are an even number of slices, and all slices contain the middle of the pizza, if we enumerate the slices, the total area of the even slices will equal the total area of the odd slices.
Personally, I cut my pizza into 42 slices in a grid pattern. That way, once I'm done with eating the entire pizza, I have the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything snugly nestled within my belly.
Oh, so Wikipedia is reaching the end of its logistics curve. It has been growing exponentially the last few years. Someday or another, there has to eventually be a time where the Wikipedian population explosion meets its consequences.
Firstly, call Microsoft Microsoft. Secondly, porting free software to non-free OSes is good, for it gives people who are stuck using Windows a choice. It also raises awareness about FOSS projects. Since when were these people sucking up to Microsoft?
I hope they solved the problem where it snapped to the panel and the edge of the screen alternately when you maximized it in Gnome with a resolution of 1024x768.
It's saying that there was a previous universe before us, one whose planets weren't accelerating fast enough after their Big Bang to escape from the accelerating effects of gravity. That universe ultimately collapsed back together into a Bog Crunch. From the remains of that universe, ours was born, which is fast enough to escape gravity, and we will move further and further apart.... until there is not any heat.
Oh, no, what the parent actually means is that you should first encode it in mp3, then trans-encode it in flac. If your player demands it, trans-encode the flac back to mp3. Volia. Superior sound quality.
I have this idea on tags. Basically they're organized hierarchically like folders in a file system. A file can have multiple tags. You can drag 'n drop files onto tags or tags onto files so that it's not much effort to tag a file. You can use logical AND OR, XOR etc. statements to display the groups of tags/folders you want to view. Multiple tags can be implemented on a UNIX filesystem through hard links.
Actually, Google's abusing the monopoly of the iPhones. And they do provide an open-source version, don't they? I'd thing that the FOSS version and the Google version are 'compatible' to each other to some extent, so the carriers can easily switch to the FOSS version should the need arise.
The non-expanding ammunition is so that they can penetrate body armor. Though it's useless in this situation. Actually, I remember there being an international treaty forbidding the use of expanding ammunition
For the people who prefer to calculate using timezone offsets, the time is 0900 UTC, as reported by NASA.
Since I live in Singapore, with geographical time +0700, the meteor showers appear at 1600, which means I get to see nothing at all. However, NASA also reports another wave at 2100-2200 UTC which means that I get to watch 'em at 0400 tomorrow. (1400 PST Tuesday aftn.)

A newspaper is several sheets of paper that have news printed on them. Compare television news, Google news, blogs and CMSs that provide news.

Then lets' port it to KPD and call it the KIMP!
Other groups have aleready made games out of protein folding puzzles.

Some of us would dearly like to kick our caffeine habit that's become part of our routine. It makes us impatient and irritable.
AFAIK, book piracy is rampant in China. I wonder where the 'compensation' money will goes to. Do the authors actually profit? I think not.
<insert technology here> compatible does not mean that it optimizes programs that use that technology well, only that it supports it.

In communist China, they censor Obama on censoring you so they can censor YOU!
You can try, but you'd get mojibake in Slashdot.
Dead, I brought home a goose I'd hunted; it's gagged to death. No risk of lead poisoning.
Joe, what have you done! And why are you covered in black feathers! What are these carcas- dead crows!

Relevant comment: Freezing causes water to expand solidify into crystals. Your brain cells turn into a banana just taken out of a freezer.
Security is a practice, not a product.
I posted a relevant comment here. Check the NASA article.
