Brandt wondered how the Stanford team, led by faculty from the School of Medicine and Center for Health Policy, could have found no difference in total flavanols between organic and conventional foods when her own results showed organics carried far more of the heart-healthy nutrient. Upon further inspection, she noticed that the team had actually calculated the difference in total flavonols, a different nutrient, and reported the result with the swap of an "o" for an "a".
Sorry, I don't understand what point you're trying to make. You're decrying quantum computing as useless because we can only feed data into it at a finite speed, which may or not cause a bottleneck?
Shouldn't that be "Quantum Measurements Leave Schrödinger's Cat In A Superposition Of Alive And Dead"? If it's decidedly alive then the waveform has collapsed, and isn't that what they're avoiding? (did not read TFA)
The double transit was visible only inside a narrow corridor a few hundred meters wide. And it was brief. The space station crosses in the Sun in a split second. Maruska knew when and where to look thanks to the predictions of Thomas Fly, an expert forecaster of ISS transits.
He's an automotive engineer and researcher, but if he can do it, you can probably follow in his footsteps and create your own electric vehicle if you are so inclined...
...and if you also happen to be an automotive engineer and researcher. And have $14,000 to spare.
Slashdot Mirror
Is that a coincidence?
But elephants do.
I could've sworn I was reading Slashdot... do nerds like maple syrup more than most people?

Yeah, that for me was the most interesting bit, that a spelling error could cause a statistical error. Maybe we'll never know :(

Part insane rant, part parody of pre-existing insane rant. Except aren't parodies meant to be at least a bit funny?
Not to be pedantic
Sorry to be pedantic, but you are being pedantic.
Ah. If that's the case, then it was so clear from the context that the attempt to clarify it just confused me.
I use a wardrobe (as in the Lion, the Witch, etc)
Do you know a lot of people who don't know what a wardrobe is, and find yourself having to explain it to them in terms of classic literature?
1) Why didn't they etch images unencoded? Simply make micro images in high detail (ala microfiche) so they don't have to be decoded?
Isn't that exactly what they've done? A lot of people seem to have missed this. They're etched on the blue centre of the disc.
Maybe they could have just put printed pictures, well protected.
I don't expect people to read the articles - this is Slashdot, after all - but you could have at least read the summary.

we might as well build our own space station.
With blackjack! And hookers!
Yeah, I saw that after I posted. At the time I thought there was no way they'd have tried that excuse again.
The double transit was visible only inside a narrow corridor a few hundred meters wide. And it was brief. The space station crosses in the Sun in a split second. Maruska knew when and where to look thanks to the predictions of Thomas Fly, an expert forecaster of ISS transits.
And that, right there, is why math(s) is cool.
... but you'll love SIPA and POPA!
They're "holding" it wrong. Same excuse used for antenna-gate.
It's almost like the GP was obliquely referencing exactly that.
It's really more of a metaphor. I hope.
The GGP mentioned The Last Question, so I think the AC really was referring to The Last Answer.
Now feck off.

There is a school of thought (consisting of just me for the sake of winning this argument) that "or just" is equivalent to "xor" :)
Are you really that stupid, or just trying to start a flamewar?
That is grossly unfair.
There's absolutely no reason it can't be both.
The product is strong with this one. Now learn some grammer.
Now learn some spelling.
