Kramnik gets $1,000,000 if he wins, $800,000 if he draws, and $600,000 if he loses. I knew I wasn't spending all that time on Yahoo! Chess for nothing...
I think the editors of
this article were biased toward experiments that were easy to explain
and understand, and shied away from experiments that failed but still
advanced science.
I find it interesting how most people label an experiment "failed" if the results do not agree with the predictions. The purpose of any experiment is to get data. From that data, you can then change current models or create new ones. The Michelson-Morley experiment disproved some ideas of how the universe worked. It advanced scientific knowledge. That's no failure. In my eyes, an experiment fails only if the data is unreliable/falsified.
Admittedly, this is not an evironmentally friendly method of disposal, but it is extremely entertaining. And it keeps the waste here in the good ol' USA. Find a high, secluded place outside of town, and toss it off. Monitors and TV's break up real nice, and the resulting bang is great. Then drive away so you don't get caught.

"We can only hope against hope that they won't suck."
...so this is what trolling feels like...
Given the quality of Episodes I and II, we may need to do a little more than hope against hope.
