  1. Maybe GM is correct on Former Employee Stole Ford Secrets Worth $50 Million · · Score: 0

    Maybe GM is correct in its valuation, but it's their engineers who are vastly underpaid on a regular basis.

  2. borkborkbork on Gaming In Sweden Bigger Than Football and Hockey · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does this mean when Starcraft 2 comes out I will start seeing borkborkborks instead of just kekekes?

  3. Re:If you want speed... on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 1

    Lynx is not graphical at all. Its first release was in 1992, and remains the gold standard for text based rendering or website accessibility. I don't even know why all those linksian browsers exist, other than as a hobby for their creators. Is there some way they can compete with Lynx that I am overlooking?

  4. Re:"Great Heavens! That's a laser!" on Anti-Matter Created By Laser At Livermore · · Score: 1

    The LASER is misnamed; the expanded abbreviation is Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

    However the internal mechanism is not an amplifier, but an oscillation chamber. The proper name therefore is Light Oscillation by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, or LOSER.

  5. simple question on Anti-Matter Created By Laser At Livermore · · Score: 1

    for anyone that could and would answer: How could the antimatter be stored or handled for use? Given that these are positrons, would it be possible to contain them is a ceramic container, amongst Hydrogen-1, or both? I found the upthread PET scan remark interesting, but that works by measuring the decaying atoms as they travel through the blood. I don't see a way of using the positrons from the laser in a PET scan. Something like a CAT scan (x-rays) I would understand As an off-sub-thread follow-up, most hospitals using short half-life material are connected to a cyclotron lab via a pneumatic transport tube (the same kind they have at my local Costco)
