I've reached the 200 friends limit on slashdot, so I decided to keep track of certain friends (confirmed) or to queue new ones in case a friend an inactive friend frees a slot.
I hope the 200 limit will be raised. 1000 should be fine for everybody !

I think we'll find out what the matter wave is made of, after we started looking in that direction.
Quantum physics is correct in the equations to account for the observations, but deceptive in that it leads us to conclude of reality.
I hope that the experiment of macroscopic wave-particle duality will redirect research towards the hypothesis of matter waves rather than quantum particles.
Wave-particle duality has yet been observed with much bigger objects, on different physical basis but with astonishingly equivalent behaviour.
A 'walking' drop on a liquid surface behave like a particle with wave properties: diffraction, interference patterns, vibration quantization.
First, in a vibrating container they put a liquid like silicon oil, vibrations are just bellow the Faraday instability threshold. Then a drop of the same liquid is dropped on the surface, but it does not coalesce, it bounces. And further bounces make a static wave pattern on the liquid surface just bellow the drop and its immediate neighborhood. As the spike grows, instability increases and the drop slides down the spike, and start moving horizontally.
Then they have a combo object drop+wave pattern moving at 1/10th the speed of wave in this liquid, straight. They call it a walker.
What is really amazing is that the wave pattern below the drop has some kind of memory: it has accumulated energy from several drop bounces. It can also make the drop see "forward", as the small wave pattern bounces back from nearby obstacles. So the drop is "aware" of its environment and "recall" the path it has followed.
Diffraction is observed and explained by the multiple reflexions the wave makes when the drop passes through a small hole, randomizing the wave pattern and the angle of the path afterward. Interference patterns observed are explained a la de Broglie: as the drop passes through one of the two holes, its associated wave passes through both, carrying forward the message of the second hole to the drop and changing the statistical repartition of the drop's path direction. One more stunning result: they are circling the drop by moving the container (Coriolis), then the associated wave adopts a discrete series of pattern, depending on the speed and radius. Very much like the energy quantization of electrons.
Remember that a typical IT project has used 95% of its planed resources when it reaches 95% achievement.
Then it will use 95% of its resources as well for the remaining 5%.
Have this rule in mind. Once you plan resources accordingly, your IT project management runs smoothly.

Simple: the Matrix has a 4 Yotta bytes limitation for any human memory.
Each lived day stores 150 Peta bytes of sense information in short term memory, which quickly decays in 100 Peta bytes for long term memory (of lot of which is kept for dreams and feelings, only 3% is used by conscience simulation).
This storage limit translates into 114,9 years of life simulation.
At the time the mp3 is saved on a disk or flash memory, it is materialized. Even if it shares the device with other files, it really has a some sectors or cells for itself. Just as some works were carved on wax or are pressed as vinyl and CD.
However, the work is communicated via non-material means.
We can say that the mp3 is sold as a non material stream, then materialized by the buyer. (I don't refer here to music streaming, but to the point that any download is a byte stream)
but they can't be material objects under one and not the other
Or could they ?
We already have demonstrated wave-particle duality at macroscopic scale. We could also understand that phonorecords are indeed dual objects, both material and non-material, depending on the way we consider them.
I foresee a new law of physics where those objects tend to please their copyright owners and thus switch from one concept to another accordingly.
You can't pull a liquid on macroscopic scale (thus the maximum dwell pump height, dependent on external pressure).
But on millimetric scale (and bellow) the surface tension can let you pull a small amount of liquid.
Maybe this is the answer.
The fact that the water fills the 2D channel even under a negative pressure in the left reservoir indicates [...]
I understand that sometime negative pressure means lower pressure than global/ambiant pressure. But here in this 2D atomistic simulation I don't know what they mean.
Put many signs to redirect those who are looking for toilets into a small cabinet where they would be Rickrolled, with at least a Rick poster and a player starting to play the pop song as soon as they open the door.

Sugarcane produces far more ethanol per weight than corn does, and it does so with much less manufacturing.
And its bagasse is burnt to distill the ethanol, thus saving energy.
... why do they try to save the (relatively) small amount of resource used by their GUI. Nowadays servers have large enough RAM and CPU to accommodate such a small overhead. They should have done it before (years ago) but it make less sense now.

Can someone tell me how much % the expect to save ?
I believe that for today's servers this footprint is ridiculous. Though one shouldn't run an animated 3D desktop background. Any GUI simple settings will do.
And we're going to catch a significant fraction of it in plastic that we have to manufacture? Seriously?
We won't, this is pathetic: how can they believe that such a material will capture a significant fraction CO2 diluted in the air. Even with any possible artificial process, this is nonsense !
Obviously, artificial sequestration should be done first with industries that use coal. Even there we would only capture a very tiny fraction of global emissions, and it would be the best we can do, for a given amount of money and efforts.
After this step it would be much easier to use science and techniques to avoid CO2 release from fossil source than to try to capture it afterwards.
Just leave coal, oil and gas inside Earth and try to harvest more energy from renewable sources. That's still easier.
Thanks also, I don't have to second that since you did it.

Very good news: standard Linux box will read my NAS' drives without using specific package and user space FS tools.
The NAS has a Debian Sparc system with ext3 16k blocks. Recovering the data when the NAS is dead (or has problems) is always a concern. Knowing I will be able to start a PC with Linux Live CD and plug those disks to recover my data is a relief.
I hope this NAS will also accept USB drives with ext3 16k FS made by x86 Linux (it doesn' read ext3 4k FS). I've prepared some with thorough blocks rw check, quite a long process.
Those major could have asked some of their employees to test if there was some of their own movies being pirated, acting like pirates for a few moments...

A short article (French but it has photos and formulas)
Full thesis (French,10Mb)"
Well, we need to take in account the servers. Then we could expect some sort of emergent behavior, but this is only Sci-Fi - for now.
One day, such ideas and souls will infuse into this network of wires and switches, and lead to the emergence of a living entity.
Remember that a typical IT project has used 95% of its planed resources when it reaches 95% achievement.
Then it will use 95% of its resources as well for the remaining 5%.
Have this rule in mind. Once you plan resources accordingly, your IT project management runs smoothly.
