There really is nowhere near enough evidence to make this conclusion. Employers "express interest" and then change their minds "at the 11th hour" for lots of reasons. That's nowhere near evidence that they did so because of a joke image on your MySpace page.
Another week, another crackpot theory trumpeted as real science. Guys, get some technically competent editors or stop accepting any "scientific breakthrough" article submissions. Or something.
According to this and this and the list goes on, OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb is five times the mass of Earth. That may be closer in mass to Earth than, say, Uranus (14.5 Earth masses), but it's a far cry from Earth-like as we know it.
It fails to explain the cosmic background, according to the very article quoted, "critics point out that MOND cannot explain the observed masses of clusters of galaxies without invoking dark matter, in the form of almost massless, known particles called neutrinos." So no, it doesn't do away with dark matter.
Everyone's aware that nuclear power accounts for 80% of electrical production in France, right? 16 countries get more than 25% of their electrical production from nuclear power.
Microsoft has always been a marginal player in Web servers, Internet servers, embedded systems, and in the gaming console market. So nothing has changed, here.
The answer is no. If people aren't even willing to learn Dvorak which is, by all accounts, a superior layout, then why would they bother with a new keyboard and and a new layout?
What I particularly thought was lame to the point of being amusing was the detail that went into the obviously false reviews. Why would anyone say that a company had excellent customer service when they also said that the product arrived on time and with no troubles? Better yet, who posts a point by point refutation of the other negative reviews, showing their own positive experiences in contrast to the negative ones? Someone's really going to buy a $500-3000 camera in order to test whether a company's not a scam and then post about it to a review site? Yeah, right!
To quote Christopher Hitchens, "Simply not serious."
How about a simple answer to a stupid question: No, it's not a security risk. An alien transmission infecting a computer doing SETI is precisely as absurd as making a simple digital audio recording taking over your computer. Data is being collected, data is being manipulated, data is being analyzed. Data isn't being "executed," so there's no chance for infection.
He also stated flat out that we are already being visited. This isn't prudency about considering how we might react and what we should do if we make contact; this is pure crackpottery.
Quake 4 continues the story in Quake II, but Quake II didn't have anything to do with Quake (other than, of course, the title). The Stroggos first appear in Quake II. (And there are contestants in the Quake III Arena that are from the Stroggos War, but other than that the similarity ends.)

... these were all invented before 1001 A.D. Go figure.
The problem with nuclear waste has never been having enough room to store them, it's always been not-in-my-backyard politics.
Iran exports oil, genius. It doesn't cost them to use oil, it generates revenue.
Another week another crackpot theory lauded by Slashdot editors! Could you guys try any harder to make yourselves look ridiculous?

That's what happens when anyone can edit anything. At least they didn't edit his article to try to implicate him in the Kennedy assassination.

"No"?
Was anyone under the impression that this kind of behavior was ever legal?
Everyone's aware that nuclear power accounts for 80% of electrical production in France, right? 16 countries get more than 25% of their electrical production from nuclear power.
Another week, Slashdot editors fall for more blatant crackpottery. This one doesn't even pass the laugh test on the second law of Newtonian mechanics.
But it is evolutionary out of the question when such monstrosities would clearly violate the square-cube law.

Of course it's not going to make a difference. This is Wikipedia we're talking about, after all.

You mean radioactive giant ants?
Yet again, Slashdot editors fall for blatant crackpottery. Blacklight Power is a well-known and rather uninteresting crank.
