  1. Re:Igneous acceleration? on SpaceX Successfully Lands Its Rocket On A Floating Drone Ship For The First Time (theverge.com) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe it got classified as a meteorite since it fell from the sky and survived... ;-)

  2. Re:Available in Amazon UK on Amazon Dispute Now Making Movies Harder To Order · · Score: 1

    It is listed at 10 pounds. The listing is here.

  3. Available in Amazon UK on Amazon Dispute Now Making Movies Harder To Order · · Score: 2

    I see that I can preorder The Lego Movie in the Amazon UK website, with a release date on July 21, so looks like this is limited to the US market.

  4. No success on Naming All Lifeforms On Earth With Hash Functions · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not so sure this will take off since they have applied for a patent and wants users to pay a license fee to use it.

  5. ESA page on European Space Agency Picks Plato Planet-hunting Mission · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Here is the ESA Plato page.

  6. Try the new Synology that is soon coming out on Ask Slashdot: Distributed Online Storage For Families? · · Score: 2

    The next version (beta version released) of the system that runs the Synology NAS will offer synchronizing from one NAS to another. And the available products from Synology are very reliable. I have been using their products for a few years now and is a very satisfied customer.

    You can read about this new feature her.

  7. Re:Will they also bill me? on Amazon: We Can Ship Items Before Customers Order · · Score: 1

    Yes, I know they can't bill me, I was just making a silly joke... ;-)

  8. Will they also bill me? on Amazon: We Can Ship Items Before Customers Order · · Score: 2

    Well, as long as they will not bill me before I have ordered I have no problems with this...

  9. Re:Is it really worth it? on SpaceShipTwo Sets a New Altitude Record · · Score: 2

    Not with a view like this!

  10. Re:Is it really worth it? on SpaceShipTwo Sets a New Altitude Record · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You also get to experience weightlessness (or technically free falling), and as you can see from pictures taken in that altitude, the view is really spectacular!

  11. Bullshit! on NSA Says It Foiled Plot To Destroy US Economy Through Malware · · Score: 3, Informative

    This is just bullshit! If they stopped this attack by "closed this vulnerability by working with computer manufacturers", this would only fix the vulnerability on new computers built after the fix was created, but not on machines already produced and sold.

    This sounds more like a PR campaign to garner positive support after all the negative impact of the releases of the documents Edward Snowden leaked.

  12. Re:Forgive my ignorance on Congress Reaches Agreement ... On Helium · · Score: 1

    It is mostly a by product of production of natural gas, but it can also be generated by radioactive ore.

  13. Re:No Russia? on GovernmentAttic Publishes Declassified Survey of Worldwide Bio-War Research · · Score: 1

    Actually, Russia is in both Asia and Europe. West of the Ural mountains is Europe, and east of Ural mountains is Asia.

  14. Re:And... on Expect a Flood of Competitions As US Tries To Spur Public Inventions · · Score: 2

    Probably about one million...

  15. SciAm just tweeted about something similar on Localizing Language In the Brain · · Score: 2

    Quote: "Researchers in Israel, Canada and France used brain imaging to observe the neural activity of eight blind subjects as they read Braille. They found that although the blind subjects were using their sense of touch, their brains showed activity in the same so-called visual region that sighted people use when they read."

  20. Norway on Why Dumbphones Still Dominate, For Now · · Score: 1

    In Norway with its 4,5 million inhabitants, in 2010 50% off all mobile phones sold (2,5 million phones) was a smartphone. And they expect it to climb to 70% this year.

    The bat has been named Brian.

  24. Re:Here is what it looks like on Brain Heatsink Could Reduce Epilepsy · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't something more like the coolant rod systems Scorpius in Farscape use be a better solution than an external heatsink and fan?

    And the 50 first to ask a question shout out "FIRST POST!"
