Not trying to put a different spin on it, but I thought it was a bit thin. I could see just where they were standing on the issues, but couldn't quite tell where they were going or when they would get there.
Tomorrow there will be an article advocating removal of network edge firewalls, as they're redundant with per-computer firewalls. Then, will come reports of some genius who thought he had the most secure network he could as he had followed the advice of two security "experts"...
It's in Medical Daily, not a scientific journal. To them, -459.67 is more meaningful as it is a larger (negative) number than -273.15. The following C, K or F is just confusing fluff. The article started with a James Bond reference; you can't expect a high degree of scientific accuracy or detail in such an article. It's likely the original researchers used K.
They may have a new method, but laser cooling itself is not new. There was even a Nobel prize awarded in 1997. It seems the advancement here is that they are using laser cooling on molecules (strontium monofluoride) instead of single atoms.
I know well-educated people (i.e. with college degrees, including graduate degrees in technical fields) who own guns and even regularly go hunting. It's just that you don't see stories about all the law-abiding, reasonable gun owners in the news, you only see stories about the "fucktards" so they have higher visibility. And as other posters have mentioned, a decent number of Slashdot posters are also gun owners, but probably not fucktards. If you live in an area where guns are illegal, it would explain why you don't know anyone that owns one, otherwise you may just not know someone has a gun. Just because you own a gun doesn't mean you have to wave it around like Yosemite Sam. I agree that it does seem like a lot of the wrong people also own guns.
Speaking of seeing things, isn't going to the bathroom on an airplane bad enough already? Now you will get the additional joy of having everybody in the air and ground watching you fumble around your undersized invisible box like some type of constipated mime. Yeah, I can't wait.
Imagine a car made out of this kind of metal. Someone ploughs into you, tow the car home, apply a flame and presto! off you go again.
Or, if you're trapped in fiery wreckage, you can watch your car repair itself right in front of/over/through you (depending on how bad the accident was)!
(1) I wonder how you shoplift a new couch and then not pay for it because your old couch was damaged.
That's because he bought a couch, not a 'license to use couch for sitting activities'. If he already paid for the DVD, why do you have a problem with him also having a digital copy? Usually the moral outrage is reserved for people downloading something they didn't pay for.
3: Don't invade mainland Japan. Establish dominance around the area, but don't forget that in the end, it was an island.
Great idea, sit back and watch them rebuild their military while the civilian population starves. That way everyone has something to complain about.
Is it an attractive option? Perhaps not from the perspective of American retribution.
It also wasn't an attractive option from the "not letting the Soviets overrun yet another country" perspective, which I think had already started to some degree.
firebombing cities and killing tens of millions of people is incorrect.
Are you trying to imply that tens of millions of people were killed by the atomic bombs? Do you realize that's larger than the total combined populations of both cities? If you're going to exaggerate, might as well go for the gold.
In many places in the US, ambulance rides are free. AFAIK, they are run by local (town, county,...) governments who decide if or how much they will charge for them. People do sometimes abuse it, but where I live they've decided it's better to eat that occasional cost than have someone die because they were afraid to call the ambulance.
You do that by leaning the computer back so the bits flow out of the back of it faster.
Be careful doing that, as the 1 bits are heavier than the 0 bits and they'll get out of order if you tilt it too much. It's like when a line of cars goes up a hill, the heavier cars can't go as fast and slow down the fast cars. Now imagine if you tilted the hill further. You'd just get a big mess at the bottom.
No, the food on your MS Office ribbon is because you're an incredible messy eater. Stop yelling at MS Office during lunch, it's probably scaring your coworkers.

I wonder what this will do for hard drive recycling. It can only help put emphasis on advancing SSD drives.

parents aren't beating their children (spanking) or rinsing their mouth out (with liquid dish soap) as much either.
You're correct- now they get a "fucking time-out" instead.

Maybe he thinks that 51% are happy that only 3% own guns?

I don't live there, but I'm pretty sure that NYC already has politicians. I think they're also the ones who started this problem.

Jobs, clearly angry at losing his throwing weapons, stated he would not be returning to the country.
Missing the obvious question- what can they confiscate when he lands in the U.S.?
If diamonds are forever, so are stories about them...
I'm now waiting for this star to transit Saturn so we can have stories about "Astronomers find giant diamond ring in space".
Yah, Canada is now full of truthiness, eh?

Not commenting on the other points.
#18, Crappo, Maryland. Now that just sounds redundant...
What I don't understand, is why the hospital staff lets someone with a serious medical condition tweet . . . ?
Maybe they were distracted by their ipods and didn't notice he had his cell phone?
It's like saying someone weighs 686 Newtons.
I just felt a disturbance, as if a million swooshes went by at once...
The real question is, if I plant this thing in the ground will it kill nematodes? Better than the stuff it advertises?

You're thinking of Gridlock

I wouldnt be surprised if we end up paying royalties to China for their technology instead.
Am I the only one who heard hysterical laughing in their head as they read this line?
