True, the B-58 used an external pod to carry the weapon and the new system uses a bomb bay, but in what sense is that contrary to the hype of the article? There is mention of "first time ever" but no mention of a weapons bay other than as the location of the new system. Use of a weapons bay at supersonic speeds is not entirely new, the A-5 could drop its payload at supersonic speeds from an internal bay...granted the weapon was ejected out the back of the aircraft from a bay between the engines.
Now, there have been a lot of phallic airplanes over the years, but I've never heard of one that was downright scatological.
The parent poster is probably referring to the radium-enhanced toothpaste sold up until the 1920's. While spending time in a German POW camp during WWI, James Chadwick, the discoverer of the neutron, actually used this as a low-intensity source for experimentation.
Additionally, recall that last year Russia and Georgia withheld Gas to western europe in an after the fact, gun to the head, negotiation to raise prices. There are no so abundant gas resources that it is so fungible that one can switch suppliers. The same is true of data centers. Will some future event cause Siberia to turn off the Internet router and demand more money?
Would this Polish guy at Vancouver airport have been shot in the heart?
This is a bit of a tangent, but, I finally got to see the camera phone video of that incident, and I'll be damned if he didn't have the exact same look in his eye as Ballmer in the "Developers!" video. Seriously, check it out--you expect the guy to start tossing chairs.
Wrong: The brick is worth exactly the satisfaction of throwing it through the store's window.
Unfortunately, the fraudster lobby has convinced the CA state legislature to enact brick microprinting laws, making all bricks traceable to their original owners.
A funny thing happened with during my co-op this summer:
I was working at a coal-fired power plant which needed a new pollution control device before 2010. There, I would dig through the literature, and try to find suitable products and operating conditions for this device. Anyway, this involved a lot of meetings, conference calls, and business lunches with the suppliers in question.
Then there was Joe.
Joe was our Alstom sales rep: portly, humorless, slow to speak and slower to understand. He was also a devote Utahnian.
Well, one day, we were killing time while waiting on a conference call, my supervisor left the room, and we started talking about universities. Then he dropped the bomb:
"In my Senior year, I worked on developing perpetual motion machines."
My supervisor then reentered the room, and we got back to work. I felt like I'd just seen a dancing frog.

Only barely--read their website. The author couldn't have made it more clear that he was Chinese if he had written the site in Mandarin.

If it falls off in the pool, will it have to be closed?
Interviewer: So, have you been published?
HampU grad: Yeah, I've submitted three papers to "The Fortean Times."
Of course not, curling is a crime against nature.
I certainly welcome those overlords!

Raise prices to market value.

He was tazed for our safety.
Mr. Anderson: So what? You played a drag queen in the Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

This is akin to arresting Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
Kasparov is an off-kilter, conspiracy theorist with minimal backing in the electorate.
No, this would be akin to arresting Ron Paul.

Did you see that on the news and just think, "That's great, but what it really needed was a barbershop quintet."
The parent poster is dead serious. He opened up some Jujitsu on her ass.
What, you expect to find a rabid authoritarian on Slashdot, a website about anti-capitalist, left-wing things like OSS, Linux, and copyright reform?
(I eagerly await your moderatory moral dilemma over this post, too)
I'd thought the punishment for suggesting AJAX on Slashdot was summary execution.
It's certainly more popular than e-mail.
Danskjävlar!!!

It's people like you who take the fun out of the internet.

Tesla is dead; he cannot be shot.
Or can he...
So, did you really mean to blow up your university?
