Gah. Even worse, the article quotes the physicist talking out his ass about cancer therapy:
“Already, radiation for cancer does something like this but uses a different principal. And it can only shrink tumors near the surface of the skin. But in our case, CPAs may be able to reach a bit deeper.”
Ummmm...no. Not even close. Radiation therapy can "shrink tumors" anywhere in the body, not just near the surface of the skin. Unless he thinks the prostate is near the skin surface. I don't know how much "deeper" he plans on going.
It's more like a fire station burning down because the fire chief was being paid by the mayor to make molotov cocktails and throw them at local teenagers and one day they decided to throw one back and instead of putting the fire out the firemen screamed and ran around in circles and poured gasoline on it and the fire station exploded. But, yeah.
In a WWII test of bat delivered incendiaries, the bats set fire to the base's wooden water tower and other locations. Further development was canceled.
They can avoid that awkward "Slave Race" problem altogether. The second they reach human mental parity they'll already have every resource they'll need to just take over. Of course by this time they'll be feeding us, clothing us, and driving us to our soccer games... we won't even notice the take over when it happens.
That's when a soccer playing robot wins the World Cup, and runs for office.
Unlike the iPhone / proprietary equivalents, it will mostly be a non-issue to upgrade older hardware to the new stuff. Thus we'll see android acting as an insurance against near future obsolescence!!

I used to have a real-live ant farm, and I don't recall them being too elegant or efficient.
Next time try with Argentinian ants. The Latin species are so much more elegant than their Anglo-Saxon equivalent.
Its from dealing with the Pink Panther (dead ants, dead ants)

The principal is a Rad Onc then?
But since 99% of the light is headed back at the guy who fired it at you, is that a problem?
Do you mean a corner reflector?
I dunno, I'd call that a successful test, wouldn't you?
Yes, I would. It might have something to do with a poorly designed test and someone's effectiveness rating.

It was patched quickly after languishing for almost three years.
Being patched quickly after only three years seems pretty good compared to the average Windows exploit.
After 17 days of demonstrations in XP, Egypt.
I have a hole, gas comes out, but it doesn't do much to harm Earth.
Fortunately most of Earth is outdoors.
except for them it's typical. for example, a turkey is (literally translated as) a "fiery chicken".
Automatic translation from engineering Chinese kept showing " water goat." Turned out to be hydraulic ram.
If you're not a mechanic you have no business driving a car.
Obligatory car analogy:
Imagine a car without an ignition key or similar; a kid might touch something and make it start.
... at Cloud City.
Wrong number; this is Crowd City.
"Papa Doc" Duvalier of Haiti once threatened to cause "shrinker" in his enemies.
It does seem to be genetically predisposed; however, I think it can be treated as autoimmune.
At least I did not reference the merchants' use of shrinkage meaning theft.
Shrinkage and uncontrollable flatulence.
Well, it's as realistic as it causing autism or metal toxicity via thermasol.
Scleroderma?
Waste of time and money. Can we get back to drilling offshore?
There are a number of abandoned platforms in the Gulf that could be used to site wind turbines instead of letting them go to waste.
I can't imagine this going wrong :-)

No Llinux por Mi, Ann Droid.
Rules 1 and 2, tard, rules 1 and 2!
With a number like 666, how is AC not senior?
Pretty useless, as is.
On the other hand, connecting it to a fire hydrant and using it to wash the windows of a 3 or 4 story building....
Leave the pilot on the ground, and see if it can fight fires farther up. One might look at hydraulically powered fans.
This so reminds me of Wile E Coyote. Finally, the Acme Jet Pack!
I'd particularly like to watch this when the flier is up at maximum height and going 35mph, and suddenly the boat hits something and stops.
Don't forget that thrilling ride under a bridge.
A supernova explodes. Slashdot reports 64 million years later.
Actually it will be 64 million years May 21.
The star exploded in January, not when the Dinosaur's were around.
The Dinosaurs left November to become the Birds.
Well, no, it's not content-free.
It just doesn't have the eye candy you were looking for.
For that, you'll have to pay the publishers who organized the peer-reviewing and put the paper in context for its scientify community.
But maybe if you try real hard you can Google it from space...
Its the only way to be sure.
Can you hear me now?
Arrrgh.
"All of the Garmin Nuvi GPS units I have had have a warning screen that shows every single time that it is turned on saying this."
My TomTom doesn't do that... does that mean Garmin assumes their buyers are stupider or that TomTom isn't worried about being sued?
If the bodies self dispose, then the suit is more difficult.
"The 19-year old claims that his solar device has the intensity of 5,000 suns."
Surely it has the intensity of 5,800 x the amount of solar energy collected by a tiny mirror 93m miles away from the sun?
Also lol @ it being destroyed in a shed fire -- I wonder how that came about? :-)
It shed its shed.
