The article implies that the schedule is flexible (probably by choosing to refer to both the transit and the live feed as "the event"), when it's anything but. I was just pointing out the ridiculousness of the idea for comedic effect.
I don't believe in real quantum computers because they require operating on the premise you can just sit there and extract whatever unlimited amounts of computation from the universe for a cost exponentially approaching free.
If they escape, they won't have time. If they don't escape, there won't be any pressure on them to do so. And it sounds like they've crossed-wired things so any chance mutations that might remove the dependency will result in non-viability.
Beats me why they don't just only use girl bacteria.
That's the sort of thing one of my bosses would draw up in two minutes and say "See? Only eight boxes. It's easy. Now you go and make it work in half a day."
It's a bit hard to put my finger on it, but suffice to say it just doesn't sound right to me. You would say "I've been very tired lately" but you wouldn't say "I went to Dubai lately."
"Recently" applies to both events and situations, while "lately" really only applies to situations, particularly ones that are ongoing. To me, anyway. There are probably specific names for the different tenses, but I have no idea what they are.
The study involved getting a number of college students to try to make their own primitive stone tools, some using language, others not. The team discovered that only those that used language were able to make effective tools.
Did they also try hunting a mammoth with language vs. without language? Or caring for an elderly tribe member with/without language? Or building a hut?
Fuck off Mozilla, we do NOT want this cesspool of added crap.
Then don't use it. Installing Firefox is optional, you know. Or do you feel Mozilla should be beholden to you in return for all those thousands of dollars you never quite got around to donating?
Because that they have working products and aren't grubbing around for the great unwashed's loose change on Kickstarter, for a start.
That past Slashdot story was about the many questions that were already being floated about iFind. That's why it was a story in the first place.
So, really, your question is a bit like asking why a story about Steve Jobs kicking a puppy results in more negative comments about the subject than one about Bill Gates single handedly saving 20 children from an orphanage fire.
Incidentally I think you credit Slashdot with way too much influence if you think it can bring down a startup in a couple of days. Those guys were already on their way out (this, again, being what the story was more or less about).

No triple moonshadow for you, then, but you might get a double rainbow!
The event is slated to being [sic] on January 24, 2015 at 4:30 AM GMT and should end by 7:00 am GMT.
Slated to begin? Should end?
What kind of delays are they expecting? I know they sometimes push the news back if X Factor overruns, but this is ridiculous.
Not yet.
They're only five years behind schedule on that one.
It's-a smallpox after all.

Q. How does one subtract light?
A. One could have a layer of LCD pixels that block/pass light as required.
"Fastest-selling consumer gaming device of all time"? Bullshit.
Fastest-selling does not mean best-selling.
What's wrong, actual english too hard for you?
What's wrong, actual capitalisation of proper nouns too hard for you?
Quit making these dumbass comparisons between everyday products and something scientific unless there's really something to be concerned about.
Quit flipping out over a headline without reading the summary. This is "X in Y discovered to do Z" in a scientifically useful way.
The brain cells they're talking about are dead ones in samples, not live ones in a baby's brain.

A new collaborative project emerged lately
Anyone will look for google or quora to the response of a usual question that requires one single answer
I'm guessing the submitter's first language isn't English, which I shouldn't be able to do if the editors were doing their job.
Still, nice to see a summary that isn't a copy-and-paste of a couple of paragraphs from the linked article.
I have no idea who you are or what you said. Sorry.

You missed out the words "It's my completely uninformed guess that..." from the front of your stupid clickbait headline.
Their last seminar on How Not to be Seen wasn't very popular with some of the attendees.
What exactly is the relationship between Uber and UberX, here?
NSA Official: Supporting Backdoored Random Number Generator Was "Regrettable"
He then steepled his fingers and muttered "mwuhaha" under his breath.
Isn't "regrettable" how Bond villains usually refer to their gruesome murders of formerly trusted employees?
What about jive?
Is 'SimCity' Homelessness a Bug Or a Feature?
Homelessness is obviously a feature. It's the level of homelessness and the impact it has on gameplay that is being questioned in the article.

The Strange Story of the First Quantum Art Exhibition In Space
In this context, there should be an ellipsis after "exhibition," and "space" should have at least seven As and an exclamation mark.
Why was that a scam and this is not?
Because that they have working products and aren't grubbing around for the great unwashed's loose change on Kickstarter, for a start.
