Why can't they just scrape off of the original, classic Google search page. Isn't that the simplest possible interface Google could possibly provide? It consists of a textbox and 2 buttons.
Very curious as to how this new technology has any application. Would someone please explain to me what it does? We can transmit light through a solid at any angle (glass? lenses?) and we can reflect light at any angle (mirrors, lenses?). What door does this new "metamaterial" open up?
Your burger business is next to another burger business. They sell their burgers for half the price you do. If you pulled your head out of your ass, you would realize that competition is the only way to maximize profits.
This is somewhat ignorant. For example, I speed on the highways or in curvy country areas (the former being to make time and the latter being for fun). I have never and will never speed in an area where I can cause harm to a person or their possessions (other than pure land). There's a HUGE difference between putting only oneself at risk, and putting other people at risk. And before anyone brings it up, there's not much of a difference between a wolfpack doing 50 or 80 on the highway -- they're both life threatening if an accident occurs.
I don't see what people don't understand about this. "But it's such a huge investment!" I'm currently looking to spend at the most $40,000 to have a renewable energy system installed (solar, wind, storage, backup). After thirty years of not paying an electric bill, I will have paid for the system and my family, (their families when I'm gone), and I will never have to worry about having a critical resource controlled by anyone. I'm surprised by how many people don't see the merit until I put it like that. Part of me believes the aforementioned operation should be extended to communities and eventually countries. Having a supply of energy is necessary to be successful nowadays, and will only become more and more crucial. For now, the energy is supplied by money-hungry entities who harvest energy from sources very harmful to the Earth, and gouge the consumers because they can. In the future, if our species is going to grow up and care about its future, it will have to make sure energy resources are top priority for everyone, and I'll begin by doing my part for myself and family.
What do you mean geothermal could be compared to hydrocarbons? Isn't geothermal powered by the heat difference between terra and subterra? Is that heat entropy really exhaustible?
Saying wars are always economically-driven is vague to the point of wrong. Wars are caused by disagreement, period. First-world countries don't go to war because of an economic factor, never have, and the burden of proof is on you to back your ignorant comment up.
People who point out their puns are like comedians who explain their jokes: they both think you're too stupid to get it. The only good thing about the phrase "pun intended" is that it saves you time when you want to say "hello, I'm going to be at the bag convention this weekend, please be sure to stop by and say 'hi.' I'll be at the douche exhibit." Here's the deal: when you point out your puns, you're making a value judgement on me, the reader. You're saying:
Hey reader, you see that play on words I just made? Yeah, well that wasn't an accident. In fact, I thought it was so clever that I didn't think your simple mind would be able to comprehend the brilliance of my play on words, and I wanted to make sure you know that I'm not only smart enough to use homonyms, but that I'm smart enough to point them out.
The sheer level of narcissism it takes to think that anyone gives a shit about whether or not you meant to write your pun is mind boggling. If narcissism were measured in units of mass, the skulls of people who pointed out puns would crush in on themselves in a giant black hole of stupidity.
Great points! But in your problem lies your solution: you say humans have been around for 2 million years and "just" reached the moon. At a certain point our civilization began to become exponentially more technologically advanced. You're right, it has only been a 100 years since the first flight, and we're already on the moon and into space! If life is plentiful throughout the cosmos as you say, an intelligent species need only reach their technological revolution ("Kitty Hawk" or "Apollo") a millennium or so before us to be FAR more advanced than our species. I'd say a thousand years from now we'll have a rough estimate as to a curve/graph of the average stage of intelligence throughout the galaxy and we'll be close to the upper part of the curve. Many different species (from different solar systems) would be less intelligent than humans, (with most having no intelligence at all) and the remaining would have reached the technological revolution before homo sapiens did.
I only wish In could freeze my body for 500 years -- I would do it and save up whatever it would cost in a heartbeat.
You're applying how the average human acts to how you expect aliens to act.
No he's applying how advanced intelligence works on Earth to how it would work anywhere else it would develop. Advanced intelligence, meaning humans compared to dogs). The foundation of his argument is that intelligence is intelligence (regardless of the organism it manifests itself in) and eventually resource-related economic principles combined with the essence of conflict will bend the curve in our favor. If you're going to counter his argument, adolescent "but alienz are different!" statements aren't going to work.
The Intrepid is an incredible aviation/military museum. I have a picture of me standing behind a giant torpedo and my buddy bending over at the tip of the torpedo. It was great, a lot of the other visitors were laughing and several were pissed, but we got the picture! It would be an honor for a Space Shuttle to be an exhibit on the giant decommissioned carrier.
Sorry dog maybe I was a little bit harsh on you -- I apologize for what I said earlier.
PS: As a friend, I just wanted to let you know your signature is absolutely, ridiculously stupid and makes no fucking sense at all.
PS2: Quick question - are you a hurricane, man? Or is your handle an attempt to subconsciously make the fat women of Slashdot think your scrawny ass is capable of sweeping them off their feet?
PS3: Is that supposed to be an emoticon at the end of your post? If so, are you serious? Eyebrows? What the fuck kind of emotion are two stationary perfectly-arched iBrows supposed to convey?
PS4: [yet to be announced by Sony yet]
Because half the users of this site would befriend you otherwise
Why even post? Because you're an angsty little attention-seeking/.Genius(R)-wannabe piece of shit who has to doubt anyone who makes a random ass claim with no reason to lie and ask them questions you answer for yourself a punctuation mark later?
As a pre-200kUID Slashdotter, you should be setting a better example than spouting fallacious analogies. Almost any political view lies somewhere between Democrat/Republican or Left/Right, so of course people are going to vote either D/R or somewhere in between. If there were some real competition amongst telco providers, you think people wouldn't choose their provider based on price/reliability? Next time, explain yourself and think with your head (not your ass) before throwing pointless links and logical fallacies at a community as famous for rational stimulation as we.
THIS, IS, [suspense-inducing neotheatrical pause], SLAAAASHDOTTTTT!!
I tried researching more on the incident but couldn't find any material of value. You mean you and around six other Marines used your ship guns to fend off invading communist rioters who were planning to take control of your nuclear weapons, scared them so badly they froze and called their police to come speak to you, emerged victorious, and there's no trace of the incident on popular search engines? If you are telling the truth, thank you good sir for your honorable and heroic service to my country.

What? If one party votes yes, and the other votes no, how is an independent supposed to vote? Same old ditto-head echo chamber BS.
I like your proposal and would like to see it in action.

You're hilarious, using a tragic disorder as a karma-farming / /.-respect-gaining "joke."
I read it, thought about it, said "naw can't be," read your post, and felt relieved. Mod this man up.

I pay my local cable company for internet access...
After I read your parent's post I was thinking, "Correct, what could possibly go wrong!?" Then after reading yours, I said, "Oh."
Hey reader, you see that play on words I just made? Yeah, well that wasn't an accident.

Are you being serious?
A phone is a phone is a phone.
Holy 1998 ignorance, batman! FYI, cell phones nowadays are much more than just "phones".
I wouldn't care; I trust that the technology would improve in a couple of centuries to have a solution to the issues currently present.
