3. Drivers prefer to use their dominant hand for tasks that require the most precise motor control.
That task is turning the steering wheel, surely - leaving, in the UK at least, the less dexterous (see what I did there?) hand to do the much simpler task of pushing a stick into a slot.
thing is, if you're raped, you get to the police right away.
Thing is, if you're raped, you react in one of any number of diverse (and many irrational) ways because it's one of the most traumatic things that can happen to anyone and you probably wouldn't find yourself thinking straight "right away" or even a week later.
Not that I'm for one moment suggesting that's what happened here - just saying, there's no standard operating procedure in the human brain for this situation.
For example, if I was on a jury in a death penalty case I would not issue a sentence of death during the sentencing phase. I am incapable of doing so because I know the death penalty system in this country is fundamentally unjust. My sense of personal integrity would not allow it.
Sounds like the sort of thing that would get you rejected at selection.
"Hubble has produced a crisp image of the Messier 56 Globular Cluster. Messier originally noted that this object was a nebula without stars. When he originally viewed the cluster in 1779, telescopes were not powerful enough to see more than a fuzzy ball. The crisp focused view we get from Hubble enables us to easily see the globular cluster and the ancient stars contained within. Comparing observations from Hubble with results from the standard theory of stellar evolution, scientists have calculated the age of Messier 56 at 13 billion years."
Err, actually no, the reason we're in this mess is because CO2 is a by-product of our favourite way of liberating energy.
That energy will probably come from burning fossil fuels
If the process was (possibly magically) efficient enough, you could run it on fossil fuels as long as you put away more than you create. You may also be fascinated to know that the back of your fridge is hot.
Firstly, read the article as others have suggested. Secondly, even if you didn't read the article, did you really, really think that the real scientists (I make the distinction in case you think you're one) who came up with this idea hadn't thought of those things? Or were you hoping they'd drop by Slashdot, see the holes you've ingeniously managed to poke in their scheme in 30 seconds when they've spent months coming up with it, bow before your mighty intellect and pop a Nobel prize in the post?
Scoffing at something you don't understand is not an intelligent response. Asking questions (or in this case, simply reading TFA) is.
Bit of a clunky opening. I'd hyphenate "in-thing" so it parses more easily.

Zelda Nes auction
That would be "NES". And was it a NES that was sold, or a NES game?
and that crazy Million Dollar Collection.
Oh yeah, that! Wait, what?
This time for RPG fans this could be classed as the Holy Grail of Nes [sic] games.

The game in question is Final Fantasy 2 which was never released outside of Japan but luckily for the person who at this time is selling this on Ebay for 50K, there was one made for the 1991 Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas by SquareSoft, sadly the USA version never had a release because they decided to work on the Super NES instead."

on Ebay for 50K
Another example of the headline having more information than the summary - that's in $. But is it 50 kilo-dollars or 50 kibi-dollars?
Slashdot Mirror
That's one.

Not in public!
Two-by-two is four, duh.
Not a peep about this on the BBC website, as far as I can see. I'm trying hard to think of a good reason for that.

Ah. I should've taken that as read, really.
Why isn't getting the correct answer 48% of the time impractical?
LOL!
Funny way to spell *facepalm*.

a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police told CNN "the document is not related to the Julian Assange case."
That's cleared that up! Nothing to see, move along.

And this was an easy one.
It takes energy to make CO2.

Study Finds Unvaccinated Students Putting Other Students At Risk
Uh, yeah, that's because that is exactly what vaccines are meant to avert. Did we need a study for that?
(no, I didn't read TFA; yes, I am being a bit facetious)
You've got it all wrong. The Borg react if it's dramatically expedient for them to do so.

a coder over at the Atariage forums has released a clone of the original Nes [sic] game Super Mario Bros with video
The original NES game had video? No, of course not, it's just an editor not doing any editing again!
GNOME designer Jon McCann shares his thoughts about all the criticism GNOME 3 currently faces and why he doesn't think at all.
There, FTTY.
due to the discomfort the shirt had caused
and would have been left wondering what shirt was being discussed, and why it had caused discomfort.
after dumping Apple Mac SE ROM images from a roadside Motorolla (sic) [sic] 68000-era Macintosh [blah blah blah]
I think you meant "[sic]", not "(sic)" ;)
And since the summary is eldavojohn's own words, and not a quote from the article, why should he have to repeat their mistakes?
You can see in TFA that they misspell Motorola with two ells.
Did they? Where?
Not cool.
Not not cool, just not anal.
The summary acknowledges this - it's only Logitech's first washable keyboard, so why the hell it was deemed newsworthy by the editors is beyond me.
No idea, to be Frank.
but it should be pretty apparent when you started the job if it was going to bother your not.
What are you basing that on?
