  1. My hypothesis on Ask Slashdot: Online Science For 8th Grade Students? · · Score: 1

    Maybe they like online stuff because they can sit with their screen away from you and play games? Coolest thing you can do online is definitely show them a cool experiment which will usually mean fire or an explosion. It's even cooler to do that stuff in person. The first day of chem class my teacher always takes a dollar bill, soaks it in a water and alcohol solution, and lights in on fire. She would also do a demonstration where she soaked the inside of one of those water cooler containers with the same solution and drop a match in it. That's the kind of stuff that gets kids excited about science.

  2. Re:Donations on Wikileaks Opens Official Online Store · · Score: 1

    That would only accomplish getting wikileaks $0

  3. Google analytics on Wikileaks Opens Official Online Store · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else find it ironic that the website selling stuff for an organization that loves anonymity for the people uses google analytics?

  4. Already been done? on Facebook-Direct Phones — and Facebook Right On the SIM · · Score: 2

    I believe there is already a method for texting status updates to facebook. Oh there it is

  5. Re:Erm. Why don't they hide both sets of numbers? on Statistician Cracks Code For Lottery Tickets · · Score: 1

    I had a similar thought. Wouldn't it be safer to publish the winning numbers (ones on the left) and have the little boards hidden? Then they can do whatever they want and it would be much much harder to predict winning cards, hell the winning numbers can be the same every time.

  6. Re:Eh, it was probably right on Blogger Sued By Restaurant For Bad Review · · Score: 1

    So how does it compare to nations the US decided were bad enough to invade?

  7. Re:Original summary is entirely wrong. on Universe 250+ Times Bigger Than What Is Observable · · Score: 1

    Is your last name Pedantic by any chance?

  8. Re:Impossible on Kilogram Gets Controversial; Why Not Split the Difference? · · Score: 1

    Last I checked the meter was defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 3.3 nanoseconds.

  9. they dont care about kids on Internet Not Really Dangerous For Kids After All · · Score: 1

    "Those who have aggressively pushed the issue of the dangerous Internet, such as Connecticut's attorney general Richard Blumenthal, are less than happy with the report." if they really cared about kids then they would take the results happily just like any scientist would

  10. not really a battery on Distributed "Nuclear Batteries" the New Infrastructure Answer? · · Score: 1

    ok ive heard stuff similar to these designs, i thinks toshiba is already making one meant for large office buildings (i.e. empire state building, sears tower, twin tower complex, when it was there) it may not be toshiba but it is a big japanese electronics company. and even better, i believe the company is based out of new mexico, and its making one thats like 10ft in diameter and has enough power for 20,000 homes for 7 years. and guess how much? 25 million, thats less than $250 per home per year. oh and i dont know if this is all of them but the new mexico on has no moving parts and is not capible of going super critical, and is housed in a think layer of concrete. this thing is supposed to come out this year, but the US board of nuclear review or whatever isnt ganna review the thing until next year.
