The problem with any real-world project is that you can't tell a priori what the "vital" part is and what isn't. If that were the case, we as humans wouldn't waste time on trial and error, and it would instead be trial and success.
We pissed away $3 billion dollars and 13 years of time, when we could have waited a few more years and got it done in a week, and much, much cheaper. What a waste of time and money that was....
I know I'm being trolled, but you're an idiot. It's pretty obvious that the ability to sequence the genome in a week could only result from techniques developed and information gathered in the original Human Genome project.
Even better, get one of those ~$10 pull-up bars from Target that mount on a doorframe (i.e. to a closet). If you lift your feet behind you so that you don't touch the floor when you're extended, you get a full trunk and upper body workout. Whenever you get up from your computer, just do a couple of pull-ups.
Oh, I checked the article. But the summary and even the title make it seem like this dinosaur is something that EVERYONE is aware of already. It just doesn't strike me as front page–worthy news.
A big factor in emotion is the amount of sunlight you receive daily -- Seasonal Affective Disorder affects people up north a lot more than it does down south, for sure. I used to live in Texas, a full ten degrees of latitude further south than my current residence in Michigan. There is a lot more sunlight in the winter down there than up here. (It doesn't help that it's alway cloudy here, too.)
I have to fight to make it through the long, dark winter.
Not only is the summary ripped from the linked article without quoting it, but the article is plagiarized in whole from ScienceDaily! I knew I'd seen it before this article, and this explains why. The blogger even hotlinked the image from science daily, wasting their bandwidth.
The linked article in the summary should be adjusted to the original ScienceDaily article and the entire summary should be quoted from it rather than attributed to slreboy.
"A code" in the lingo of the scientific programming community means "a computer program that simulates these equations in an expedient manner," i.e. there is more than one way to discretize and program the solution of the equations, but they have done it in one specific way. It is therefore "a computer code."
Advantages of CR-39 for ICF experiments include its insensitivity to electromagnetic noise; its resistance to mechanical damage; and its relative insensitivity to electrons, X-rays, and gamma-rays.
So they chose it because it would give more reliable data, less prone to interference.
You probably would want capacitors for those, with other pulse-shaping devices. In fact, this is what they actually do. Ten seconds of discharge is way too slow for a rail gun.
About a month ago, I got a similar letter from AT&T describing how I could opt out of having my personal information shared with affiliates, etc.
When I called the number to opt out, I had to sit through sixty seconds of a computer verifying that yes, I was turning down all sorts of great offers etc.

Erm, since when can one be a citizen of the EU?

The key is that they don't have to spend gobs of money in an attempt to make it photorealistic.

What is a Pleo, and why should I care?
A: It's an animatronic toy dinosaur from ~2006. And I shouldn't care.
It would be nice for the article summary to briefly state this.
Or, dare I say, even three---if you're a karma whore.
There's obviously more than one factor that goes into the mood-location correlation. Sunlight is one such factor.

Yeah, with the amount of steel and tungsten (!) in this thing, it will quickly be cannibalized at the next fall of government/civilization.
This is a perfect example of a sin tax error.
Thank you, I'll be here all night.

High regard for the Slashdot community? Wow, dude, you seriously are misguided.
Does this count as achievement farming?
Chicks dig math. Slashdot rejoices until they RTFA.

Honestly, I never would have expected a +4 informative for linking to a page full of lolspeak. /shrug
That would be "lolcat," not cat. And here is a page to help you.
This was the analysis of a Science News article I read a while ago. According to them, there was no consensus.
Then again, Science News also chooses to report a 9% growth in the arctic ice as "A near-record Arctic melting". Agenda, anyone?
According to the journal article:
Advantages of CR-39 for ICF experiments include its insensitivity to electromagnetic noise; its resistance to mechanical damage; and its relative insensitivity to electrons, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

Why is this in my science RSS feed? Can we keep this idle cruft out of the "real news" feeds?
For those that don't get it (like me):

and then it "sold" on ebay.
