'A trained geologist can do more research in an hour than a robot in a whole year'
Yes but: - we lack geologists with Martian field experience - in some situations an hour is all the geologist will get, where the robot will outlive him by more than a year

Nope, we don't care, because it all starts with 'in 1524 a French expedition...'

"When Opera's current ECMAScript engine, called Futhark, was first released in a public version, it was the fastest engine on the market" says Opera, but who cared then about speed.
I only use IE for 'technically challenging sites'. On Vista my first browser is xxx (switched 10 years ago), I use FF3 on second line and if nothing goes IE7. I tried IE8, it is not compatible enough even in compatibility mode.
So updating to IE8 would certainly make my system more secure, but so does switching it of.
For me science is more about useful models than asymptotical truth: For me within the horizon the earth is flat, passed the horizon the earth is spherical. Within the atmosphere things fall downwards and not towards gravitational canter of the earth. I use Newtonian physics and the atomic model of Bohr, no general relativity and quantum physics as within my horizon things are too slow and too big.
A litle off topic, but I agree. The new WYSWYG is done through a browser.
Not that I use Drupal as I find that too complex. I use a package using a hierarchical database (i.e. a filesystem) to minimize technical load and some good skins so no html, no css knowledge here.
"Mr. von und zu Guttenberg is descended from an old and noble lineage"
Names from "old and noble lineages" behave differently from more "common names". Where over time some names disappear, the same way some genes get lost over a number of generations, noble names are immortal. [citation needed (von Klausewitz is a good start;)]
A possible way to compensate this, is to ad a probabilistic expression to old names; the older the name, the less probable it becomes. Quantum physics notation could come to help as a name becomes probabilistic entity.

Maybe, or if the claim was truthful, she still has to find 160,000$ to pay her lawyer.
"according to the Oxford dictionary, realize is more correct (because of its Greek origins)"
or is it from latin 'realis' ?
Even the royal opera has problems to set 140 characters on stage
In the good old days an ESA launch was French when successful and strictly ESA otherwise.

In 100bc the greeks had a laptop size computer, that did bigger and better things than my computer, posting on slashdot.
The filtering works for me. But I know people where the filter catches 400 spams a day and 5 hams, making it totally useless.
M$ is OK but M€ (that's an EURO symbol) has a problem displaying on slashdot
'That works out to 11.16 million per hour.'
I have to remember that when my wife says my new car is expensive, I will answer: 6 sec

Well said. And according to Ockham even that is not always true: Better a simple mistake than a brilliant error.
Clever:
Previous test where negative, but flawed. So give us another billion and we will produce the new flawed life on Mars test.

I haven't downloaded images for years, that's why I get only a mere 2500 spams a month :)
Yeah, but after removing any trace Ninjas can't help boasting. That's why there are so many Ninja movies out there

pascal, python, ruby,
Using English helps, as words can be used without connotation. Spam is spam, the same for bug, loop, goto, byte, computer,

Rule two: don't use the same identity all the time. I dropped my previous slashdot identity as it could be linked to my xxx identity.
