1) Under a gold standard, the (very high) volatility of gold is imposed on the general price level, making it that much harder to plan economic activity, and magnifying negative events.
Dude what are you talking about, gold is not volatile--it's a metal, and highly inert one, at that.

Bruce complained that Python3K is not modular enough. Guido, always the pragmatist, and having just watched Reservoir Dogs, retorted that anyone who wants a modular language should get his head examined.
Some guy on the mailing list proposed a new and better syntax, but Guido declined to merge it; he explained that he doesn't trust the new guy as much as Bob, whose Context-Free Syntax (CFS) is going into the next development version (odd-numbered, of course).
I thought it would be such a preposterous number you guys would know it's a joke... so 88% inflation over 5 years doesn't raise any red flags? I'm starting to seriously worry about this country!
Also, given random connection pairs, and uniform distribution in some 2d area, one can show the capacity across a line bisecting the area is more or less proportional to 1/sqrt(n). This is probably pretty realistic, unfortunately.
I so wish I could nominate localroger's (Roger Williams I think) stories he posted at kuro5hin... his Revelation Passages series is the single best, most imaginative and logically consistent story I've ever read; truly good SF! Highly recommended: Revelation Passage.

I second that.
How about broadcast TV?

It's $100 in 2002 dollars :)
...how the momentum is somehow created. Doesn't the sunlight absorbed during power generation cancel the laser output?
Guys, stop making light of this invention! I'm sure Dr. Bae is a perfectly bright young man.
Could the material be decaying into a gas somehow? Like radon?
Or maybe the chunk is porous and has some heavy gasses trapped.
It occurs to me that if they really truly have WMD, someone should be getting a Nobel prize in Physics pronto ;)
reconsidering my ATI boycott.
See, the boycott worked!

What about, God forbid, growing clovers and jatropha at the same time?

No? What does one do, ride a bicycle?
I dunno... the fact that Luciano Pavarrotti used to be a ventriloquist is a strange coincidence, don't you think?

Step 1: scientists get together, synchronize watches
Step 2: scientists go home to telescopes
Step 3: at 2pm EST scientists plug in the telescopes
