I picked up the "Physics for game developers" O'Reilly book. I figured I had a pretty good grounding in physics, but this might be interesting.
What the hell is a slug?
Fine, I know I'm 6', 10 stone, and its 232 miles from Exeter to Warrington. However for anything meaningful or accurate metric is the only way to go. 1 litre of water weighs 1 kg, is 1000cm^3. A kettle uses 3kw of power, which would theoretically raise 3l of water by 1 degree per second.
You'd have thought Jesus Christ was playing Neo in it as seriously as some people are taking it.
Well at least the matrix exists. If people want to think the the matrix is the be-all and end-all of philosophy, then thats no more stupid then some people believing in some superstitious nonsense about some guy that walked on water..Hello, Canadian Jedis!
I live in the 7th most populated place in the UK for Jedis, and I put down I was one. Not because I think Star Wars is a religion (although its just as valid as christianity), but because I was trolling.
That works the other way. The cell-phone island would still see the smoke signals, and know there is life on the smoke-island. The smoke-island wouldnt have anything that can pick up low powered multi-megahertz EM radiation
The more we look, the more we find, we've looked deep underground and found life, we've looked at cold arctic areas and found life, we have found life floating high in the atmosphere.
you think thats amazing? I found life in my underwear pile!
It's a sad fact that most slashdotters cry DARWIN at the first wound of anything thats slightly risky. They claim to want to progress in to space, but then when someone tries it, they just laugh. Perhaps its envy.
The government not listening to the people is nothing new. What worries me is the opinion on BBC News Talking point.
Why are we even bothering with the sheer waste of money this will turn out to be? What should happen is everyone born in, or entering the country should have a DNA sample taken and held on file. Once this is held on a national database then with only minimal effort crime and fraud will be slashed and I won't have to worry about carrying a pointless piece of plastic around with me when I go to the beach or clubbing on a Saturday night.
I currently have the freedom to walk in public without any bank cards, utility bills or passport, if I wish. These can all be used to prove my identity. How long would it be before I found that carrying this ID card was mandatory or at least necessary to live without prejudice?
The sooner the better. They may not solve every problem we have, but they will help. I have nothing to hide, and only those who have need worry. Rather big brother than the big bills for continued and growing fraud. Anyone who needs to prove ID of customers, such as those in banks etc will find it a godsend.
Why not? If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

By 2880 we will have developed amazing technology such as asteroid repellent beams

Of course not. Al Gore created the internet!
And just how would we have a referendum wihtout all the information available? What if information that a law is based on is classified?
