The first part of your question is easy enough to calculate: a=omega^2*r => omega=sqrt(a/r)
So for earth-normal gravity (although it's likely that Mars- or moon-gravity would suffice), 100m radius ring (or dumbbell), you'd rotate at 0.313 radians per second or about 1 revolution every 20 seconds. Can the human body handle that without puking? No idea.
I'm unclear: was this fake Yogurt shop actually listed on Yelp? Or did he just pose as a Yogurt shop owner and seek the help of SEO firms?
If the former, one might imagine a hapless Brooklynite trying to find this awesome place they read about on Yelp and being sorely disappointed when the address ended up being, what? A PO box? And then wouldn't they then go onto Yelp and report the address as wrong?
Article mentions the TV consoles, but isn't the Game Boy far more relevant? I mean, we're talking about the birth of handheld game consoles (and yes, I know there were handheld video games before the Gameboy, but that's like pointing out that there were smart phones before the iPhone).
Thank you, submitter, for including what "MOOC" stands for in the summary. Too much alphabet soup around/. these days, and while Google can usually clarify, it's nice to not have to do the search.

Jen: Freddy, that bloke that did the charity thing where he tied the balloons to the chair.
Roy: Oh yeah...
Jen: Such a lovely idea. Floating from London to Glasgow to promote optimism...
Jen: Anyway, there's a collection for his wife and kids...
Richmond: You shouldn't have sent out this e-mail detailing the symptoms. You know how suggestible and easily swayed I.T. people are.
Roy: That's not true!
Richmond: Yes it is.
Roy: No you're right. Of course it is.
Shouldn't that be CUBIC foot (or, more likely, meter, as the AC above pointed out)? Square footage is only a good measure when you're tethered to the floor.
GMO is hardly an obscure acronym. And a Google search gives the correct answer on the first non-sponsored hit. While I agree that slashdotters tend to play it fast and loose when it comes to using obscure acronyms, this is not one of those cases.
Haven't watched the video. Is it a recording of a phone call? Because if the person on the other end didn't consent to being recorded, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to make the recording, and doubly so to broadcast it.
Actually, how science usually works is that someone uses those results in their own research. And if the new results don't jive, one of the first steps is to verify the old research. If the old research can't be verified, they can publish and make a name for themselves out of refuting the previous work.
And obviously it’s not super practical to use the camera as your editor, grading station, or to review all your footage, but if you didn’t have another choice or you don’t have the resources, why not take advantage of something like that? Why not share your frame grabs over WiFi. Say I’m in the field and I need to get a still frame, or I need to get my footage off, and I have nothing. Sure, just upload it.
Most people have ended up viewing stem cells as a promising way of repairing damaged tissues. But, for many scientists, they're now providing a way of studying mutations and processes that are too difficult to examine any other way. Techniques like organoid formation provide additional tools to make these studies as relevant to human biology as they possibly can be.
No one's forcing you to trade your 3DS in for a 2DS. If you want a car analogy, it's like a car company making a car--in addition to their existing line--that only goes 40mph. Perfectly good for getting you around town, but it'll mean no highways for you.
And don't you feel that Verizon *should* be held liable in that case? My point was simply that the summary was making this seem so extreme, but in reality, the circumstances where this could be applied are very narrow.
For the record, it's a legal opinion (one that could be overturned by a higher court, btw).
And my argument isn't that the plaintiff would need to prove he or she knew you were driving but that he or she knew you'd read the text while driving as opposed to while idling at a stop light.
There will likely never be a situation where the non-driving texter can be held responsible. Burden of proof will always be on the plaintiff, and proving that the non-driver knew that the driver would read his or her texts while driving will almost always be a legal impossibility. And, in that case, this makes about as much sense as holding a passenger in the car liable if they were being purposefully distracting or disruptive (IMO: perfectly valid).
Again, all 3DS content will be playable on the 2DS. If you want to use the browser analogy, I guess the closest thing would be a browser that only displays in grayscale.

Not 100% effective? Wouldn't that make them just like their namesakes?

might we be able to find out what makes Curiosity... curious?

...which has suddenly exploded in popularity over the past month?
(a) Awareness of NSA surveillance has caused people to seek out TOR, or
(b) Increased awareness of TOR, thanks to the coverage of NSA surveillance, has caused people to try to evade said surveillance?

That's actually really good advice. Thanks. It's not like I have much to lose by botching a repair job.
I think it's a stupid law

I'm actually surprised that the OP didn't include the other news, that Nintendo is dropping the price of the Wii U by $50.

All 3DS games are playable on the 2DS, so no, it doesn't limit content at all. It only limits how you can view it.
