In what way is this a denial? He just confirms everything in the BBC article. The pentagon is still refusing to present anything which could reasonably be used to refute the allegations. Jessica Lynch is still sufferring from her mysterious memory loss AFAIK. But that's the power of doublethink, I suppose.
Posting a comment like that without a link to substantiate it doesn't inspire confidence either. Why not try educating people you disagree with, instead of trolling?
While they're at it, maybe they should change the logo as well to something less sinister, and appoint someone who is not a convicted criminal to run it.
... the cops have been kidnapped by aliens and turned into evil flesh eating zombies, and the only way to save the world is by killing them all before the eat you? Would that be OK?
Get rid of any coins which are too small to actually buy anything with. That way you don't wind up having to periodically pick through your small change to get rid of those 1 and 2 cent pieces which you only have because everythings priced at xx.99 or xx.98.

That must set a record. I've never seen a website with so little content.
Stattdessen soll Embedded Linux mit 27 Prozent zur bei weitem am häufigsten eingesetzten Plattform werden
27% is not 50%. But even so, 50% does not imply a standard, it just means it's the most popular. When 90% of embedded projects use linux, you'll have a case to make.
In the non-graphic embedded market, Linux is already the standard
Why does everyone insist on claiming that linux has taken over the embedded market? What about VXworks? PalmOS? QNX? Are these people quaking in their boots? I don't think so. What about all the special purpose real time OSes that many companies use. Linux isn't the standard in the embedded market any more than it is the standard on the desktop. Yes, it's more popular than it was a couple of years ago, and will probably get more popular with the increase in embedded products which are special purpose PCs like PVRs etc, but this doesn't make it a standard. If you have any figures to even suggest the opposite, I would love to see them.
The only reason there was a Rodney King video was because some passer by with a video camera took the recording without the police noticing. Analogue video tape would be just as easy to get rid of as digital video, and faking analogue video is no more difficult than faking digital video - just record the fake digital video using your VCR.
Convection requires a fluid, which molten iron barely qualifies as
If molten iron is not a fluid, why do we call it molten? I imagine at the kind of temperatures at the centre of the Earth, molten iron would have very little viscosity, and would convect quite nicely. Of course this doesn't invalidate any of the other points you make;-)
Maybe this is the first academic research of it's kind published, but I think it's clear that Holywood has had a good grasp of "the perfect movie formula" for quite some time, just like the music industry has "the perfect pop record" well understood. There are of course exceptions where genuine quality counts, but I'd be prepared to bet that the majority of low grade blockbusters churned out by the big studios come fairly close to this formula.
If every slashdot reader with write access to an ftp site filled a directory somewhere with empty files named after musicians/songs with the suffix.mp3 the RIAA would have a hell of a lot more work to do determining which sites were the copyright violators and which were just serving dummy files. This would put a spanner in their works, and create a few jobs at the same time. Just a thought;-)
You are obviously reading slashdot using as text only browser, or a graphical browser with image loading disabled. Those of us with graphical capabilities have learned that an Albert Einstein lookalike has been launched towards Saturn.
As Mercury revolves around the sun in I believe 88 days, this should happen 4.x times during the Earths 365 day orbit
This would only be true if mercury was orbiting in the same (or almost the same) plane as us. IANAA but I would assume this is not the case. This means that this event only happens when the Earth and Mercury are approximately at the point of intersection of the two orbital planes at the correct time.
Really, is this worth a webcast? Comets are beautiful. Meteor showers are beautiful. Solar eclipses are awe inspiring. But this? It's just a black dot travelling across the sun. I don't doubt that this has enormous scientific value for astronomers and planetary scientists with the right instruments, but the average punter could achieve the same effect using a torch.
$8-$10 per hour to sit at home and wait for a web-cam shot to analyse? How do they know whether the watchers are watching the web-cams or just reading slashdot? Could you really sell something like this to an insurance company as a security measure, when there's no real way of ensuring that the system is working reliably?

Have a look at the Ultra project for a more creative solution to electric mass transport :-)
I've heard it's dying ;-)

what, again?
Then I shall eat my hat. I suppose that with iron being such a good conductor, any convection effects would probably be irrelevant in any case.
You'd have to build an unmeltable refrigeration unit for it to make any difference
An unobtanium vacuum flask might do the trick.

The correct name is GNU/Unix. And don't you forget it.

How long will it take Slashdot to post a dupe of this "story"?

Probably because of the weak chemical bonds described, resulting from the pseudo atoms being much larger than their real counterparts.
