    If this 'spot' is so huge that we can detect it - what would be the ramifications if our sun got the same sized spot?

    TFA says the planet was calculated as "ten times the mass of Jupiter".

    Or did the author mean "size"?

  6. Here's my idea on What Should I Do With My Tech Junk? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Vacuum-bag your electronic junk.

    Go out camping in a rugged area.

    Dig a hole, and bury your stuff.

    Gather some rocks and place them in a cool design on top of your electronics.

    Cover the rocks with more dirt.

    That should be enough to screw with the heads of future archeologists.

  15. Re:What's the point? on "World's Cheapest Laptop" Available in Bulk Only · · Score: 1

    I do not understand this obsession with cheap crap on Slashdot recently... This $130 "laptop" is a fine example. Seriously, I'm lost... why would anyone consider buying such thing?

    I've been wondering the same thing about Walmart and its customers for a long time...

  16. Couldn't they make DVDs on WB Took Pains To "Delay" Pirating of Dark Knight · · Score: 2, Interesting

    of new theatrical releases available for rent too at the same time the movie is in theatres?

    I went to a midnight showing of The Dark Knight last night and managed to fall asleep with an hour left in the movie and wake up just in time for the credits to roll.

    What kind of city do you live in where you can see a midnight showing of Dark Knight and not also have access to coffee 24 hours a day?

  22. That's why on Lack of Sunlight Could Lead To Early Death · · Score: 1

  23. Is this on The Principles of Project Management · · Score: 2, Interesting

  24. Re:Stupid terraforming.. on Water Ice On Mars · · Score: 1

    Or we could smash a few ice comets into it, which would mean we don't have to give up our own water (which would screw up the environment worse, since the planet would have to readjust to the permanent loss).

    I've read theories about Phobos having ice content. Plus, it's conveniently located in orbit around Mars...

    But even if you crash both Phobos and Deimos in the short term (because in the long term they will crash there naturally), I doubt they'll add sufficient mass to Mars to enable an effective terraforming measure.
