Uh. We already have repeated it. Myspace is basically last couple of years' geocities.
Now there's the web 2.0 boom which is the geocities of the future. Except, instead of small personals sites with blinking gif animations, you have big sites with horrible AJAX interfaces that completely breaks page navigation. Yes, this applies to big websites like slashdot and freshmeat as well.
What the hell? What was wrong with the old slashcode? The difference for the end user is that now you have to click 10 times to do what you could do in one click in the web 1.0 version.
The lesson to be learn is that you shouldn't fix what isn't broken.
Now I'll get back to my rocking chair. I've got kids to keep off the lawn.
Yeah, I was curious about that, too. I don't think it's intentional though. What speaks for a random event or a lab accident as opposed to some intentional act of bio-terrorism is the fact that it's survivable, and not resistant to drugs.
This is a US site./.../ Anyone that pretends there is ambiguity is showing elitism or whining about the US-centric nature of a site that claims to be American.
Huh? This place has visitors from all over the world (since the internet does not have borders). Because of this, you can't make assumptions on what units they are using. In the English speaking world, you encounter temperatures in Farenheit, Celsius, Kelvin and Rankine.
A number without a unit is inherently ambiguous.
All units are in what the average American would use talking to the average American on the street.
These numbers aren't: 37. 40,000. 5. (The units were Angstrom, Liters and Euros for the curious)
There's plenty of room for ambiguity. You need to multiply or divide by 1.8 to convert C->F or F->C.
So extreme can either mean "sometimes we leave the window open" to "some days we surf in the sauna and other days the cable sticks out the window into the howling Siberian tundra."
The windmills seems to have been erected very close together. This may cause them to interfere with each other through turbulence. Also, some of them did fairly good. The Skystream and the Montana doesn't seem to be a total waste of money.

This reply is a grenade sitting upon a pile of dynamite and fertilizer and likely to BLOW UP at any moment.

Let's wait how long it will take the bomb squad to figure out that text, which is clearly not a grenade, but says it is a grenade, and therefore could be a grenade, is in fact just text.
I understand things the first time I hear them in almost all cases. This has been true since childhood. As a direct result, the normal teaching style in most gradeschools (say something, then repeat it in slightly different ways many many times) was nearly unbearably boring for me. I would try and allieviate this boredom by doodling, and this often got me in trouble.
Boredom is the curse of people with higher than average intelligence going through school. Grade school completely fails in my experience to deal with it, and it only gets marginally better in High School.
The sad part is that not everyone can deal with this lack of stimulation, and start causing trouble, in the worst case undermining their future.
There were a few classes where I kept myself alert by doodling. 'course, all that engineer's blood made me bust out the colored markers and make basic n/2 fractals on graph paper.
Been there, done that. I also frequently end up drawing various impossible shapes, like Penrose triangles or whatnot.
It wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened.
What is the first time something like this has happened?
The earliest account of the method I can find on it's wikipedia article dates back to WWII, but the method in one form or another probably predates modern propaganda warfare.
Even if the trial outcome may not be affected, there is also a war of opinion outside the courtroom (at least in Sweden, where the copyright issue gets a lot of media space, partially due to the pirate party). And the undeniable effect of moves like this is that
* There is an appearance of dissent amongst the pirates, that they are unreliable and can't even agree with themselves.
* The poor copyright lobby looks like it's a victim to savage internet-hoodlums with no respect for the law or society.
One should be open to the possibility of IFPI "hacking" themselves to gain popular support. It is, after all, instant sympathy. It wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened.
Nothing is cooler, and nothing is such a opening to the amazing magic of physics
I beg to differ: The Stern-Gerlach experiment is cooler.
Double slit merely illustrates the superposition principle, which in the end isn't that big of a deal. A correctly executed Stern-Gerlach experiment can illustrate both the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and spin.
Stern-Gerlach is a lot more difficult though, both to perform and grasp.

Oh no, that is one of the basic premises of science. Science is but an ever refining approximation of the real world. Any scientist who doesn't acknowledge that the current theories are incomplete is a quack.

Meet hard science fiction. Science fiction doesn't need to be written by people completely ignorant of the current state of science only using the sci-fi genre because noisy visible lasers in space sells.
The problem is that even though they are for entertainment purposes, they fail to entertain (in other ways than scoffing at the author's pathetic lack of understanding of the subject) people with an actual understanding of the matter.
And I'm using it to 'infect' their pc's with Linux. It'll stop all future virii as well as creating a wave of happiness. Dark purposes, it's all how you look at it. Sure they'll hate me for a while, but then they'll love me and i'll reveal my identity and be a hero!
Here I was hoping the virus would start correcting the spelling in you tube comments. Maybe the next virus that comes along will realize my grammar nazi utopia, then...

That largely depends on what machine you install Linux on. It'd be a stretch to call a Playstation 2 a PC.

Okay, this one was a bit obscure even for slashdot. It's funny because of Dirac.
