Regardless of what we do, the Earth, in about 400 billion years will not rotate at all. This is due to our relationship with what we refer to as our moon, which is actually celestially speaking, the second of the pair in our binary planet system. Eventually, one side of the Earth will be constantly facing the moon.
Actually it doesn't mean that earth will not rotate. It means that a day equals month. If it would mean earth wouldn't rotate that would mean moon would have stopped moving around earth and by simply physics wouldn't be around earth anymore, it would be either inside earth. Or moved away from earth.
There is some geneva convention or something similar international agreament that blinding lasers are banned as military weapons. So the end result for laser warfare is that they make a STRONG laser intended to burn through tank, and the reflections from the tank that hit eye will have blinding result, but thats not the lasers MAIN purpose, an equipment destruction lasers are allowed in the agreament. BTW: If someone uses missile defense lasers near your city, then you should have strong curtains just to make sure that any weak reflections wouldn't pass inside your house. And blind someone.
YES!!! I can play with 1kW metal cutting laser since its WAY under 3MW, so its safe. no more fuzzy 3mW lasers. Lets play with real thing that can cut metal.
So you were working ONLY 12 hour weeks 7 days a week? It is probably too much for anyone who isn't working for his own corporation or just out of dedication without being forced to work it. And remember that if venture capitalist control the board its NOT your corporation, you could loose it anytime without compensation, regardless of how many shares each hold.
another shitty, boring "wikipedia-got-vandalized, holy shit!" story. this is not stuff that matters.
Hows that different from a normal slashdot article?

To small sheeps waiting for big beast to eat them. Except for few exceptions. And those who are inside the beast already suffering their digestation.
The comment was most importantly this, thiefs don't typicly go for a house which has alarm system. They try to break in easy targets mostly. For the money they don't need break in for hard system. ANY system will do. Windows is and will be nr1 target regardless of marketshare, as long as there is adequate number of windows systems out there on the net. And overall MS has lower total cost of 0wnership, and as long as there is reasonable supply of MS drones they are not going to switch over. They don't NEED to be nr1 in numbers, only the easiest target and enough of them for the task.
You could want to realize some practicalities in going to wind or solar power. First you need to build equivalent amount of coal based electricity production. Why? Well what happens when its not windy, or when you don't get solarpower at the time of peak comsumption? Uhh. Only option for that is burn coal, or gas, since those could ramp up in reasonable time. From practical point of view. Solar and windpower is usefull for those who need to use lot of electricity only on windy or sunnydays, and other time use far less. Nuclear power is what is needed for BASELINE powerproduction. Fossile fuels are still needed but only for managing the peaks.
Hello. Its pretty much possible to live a rich live in economy where, use of fossile fuels is near zero. Think are you poor if you couldn't drive suv, but something with minimal green house effect. Another thing is that would you be poor, if you used, railroad tracks more, and less roads? Would you be poor if you used more nuclear power and less coal? All goverment has to do is make it MORE profitable for businesses to change their operation taking account of enviroment by moneytary dis-incentives. Like tax on coal, and gas while allowing nuclear power plants, and making easier to improve railroad transportation network. Finland is not a poor country our population density is worse than united states, our per capita CO2 production is less than half of yours. Our health care system, and school systems are superiour. Why I mentioned Finland, instead of rest of europe is that, Americans always speak about population density as excuse for CO2 production. While central europe is having denser population, its lifestyle, not doing normal. We have more free time, less stress better health care, less toys, but still overall a better life than you poor americans who cannot think but $$$ [Exception in both sides of atlantic exist].
Small hint, your debt is huge and increasing. You've had trade deficit since early 70's. That means that in 3 decades every single year, you have liven either by what was saved before hand or on debt, as a nation, not just goverment. There is difference between goverment in debt to corporations and individuals inside the country or being in debt to other countries banks. There is big difference of havin 50% more imports than exports. Consumerism ends when foreign banks stop lending your country. Expect lower salaries, higher taxes and economy thats ruins, while rest of worlds hates you at same time, for not paying your debts on time, and your actions in close past.
On the other hand. Nasa money goes to internal economy which is good for you. Bad news is that the internal economy will move that money out of country. 2000$ per person per year. Is the rate your nations debt growing towards other nations.

Is just one of lucas films dirty tricks to bring that site down.
Yes. Womans have software, that should be more or less wetware. But men have software that should be really for hardware.
I did only few things besides reading this article. Nothing usefull and productive, nothing really time taking. I finished reading it now.

Motherfucker? Are you claiming he has fucked someone? Come on this is slashdot.

You forgot take account of Total cost of 0wnership. Your estimations are way off.
Sure you may need cluster to visualize its contents. But I need only need to visualize woman for its contents.

They teach French in your schools. And this is the reason why.
Well I think it would be more approriate if firs r is changed to n besides getting rid of l.
I'll rephrase what I meant to more simple terms... Americans have too much FAT that gives them nothing but a feeling that they do it their own way.

So why not rename it 80666 ;)

Finally, I would rather hit on a cute checkout girl then a computer
The cute checkout girl hits you 7 times.
OUCH that hurts.
you bleed.
