  1. Re:Too complicated on Why All the Higgs Hate? It's a 'Vanilla' Boson · · Score: 1

    I'm taking a course on the Standard model, the Higgs mechanism isn't exactly rocket science. At least not at undergrad level, like you said.

  2. Re:Not needed. on African Robotics Network Challenge Spurs Rash of $10 Robots · · Score: 1

    Moron. They need to form scientists and engineers as much as the next guy.

  3. Make sure they don't turn on you on India Turns Down American Fighter Jets, Buys From France · · Score: 1

    You don't want to rely on their missiles when the French might give your enemy the tools to render them useless.

  4. Re:Perhaps they don't want old tech? on Kenya Seeks Nuclear Power Infrastructure · · Score: 1
  5. Re: WHAT?! the strong force causes gravity? um, NO on New Particle Identified At LHC · · Score: 1

    Mass != Weight

  6. Re:Composition? on Comet Lovejoy Plunges Into the Sun and Survives · · Score: 1

    Stabilize? Once it's out of the corona it should have a normal orbit.

  7. Re:I Thought NIMBY Prevented Even the Big Sites .. on In Nuclear Power, Size Matters · · Score: 4, Insightful

    NIMBY might be less of a problem outside the US. For example, I suspect China doesn't give a shit about who wants what on his backyard.

  8. Re:This too shall pass. on 'Vocal Fry' Creeping Into US Speech · · Score: 1
    Yeah, like the Spanish lisp, it'll be gone in no time.

    Oh, wait...

  9. Re:How can this produce accurate results? on Earth's Core Made In Miniature · · Score: 1

    Nevertheless, any observer moving with the Earth (say, Earth's core) won't feel the Sun's gravity.

  10. Re:Inaccurate Model on Earth's Core Made In Miniature · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, Turtles All The Way Down could be modelled as an infinitely long longitudinal wave medium (like a spring), with no reflections.

  11. Re:Those helpful links on Quantum Coherence Found Fueling Photosynthesis · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm at that awful stage where I laugh at this article's analogies, yet can't really understand the paper.

  12. Re:Satellite Wireless Router on Terahertz Wireless Chip Will Bring 30Gbps Networks · · Score: 1

    Look into Cubesats

  13. Re:The Interface will be a problem. on MIT Creates Chip to Model Synapses · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not just with the brain, but also with itself. I heard the brain is ridiculously well interconnected.

  14. Re:Soon on Qualcomm's Butterfly Wing Display Gets Nearer · · Score: 2

    It's a different time, back when they were building PCs in their garage it wasn't consumer electronics. Nowadays you can't hope to make a tablet, PC or whatever without getting some serious funding. The alternative is producing more expensive goods so you don't compete with massive factories in China for slim profits.

  15. Re:How is this News for Nerds? on HPV Vaccine Recommended For Boys · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but eventually you'll want grandkids...

  16. Re:The "b eyond the theoretical limits" thing on World's Most Powerful Optical Microscope · · Score: 1

    No idea. Some genius had the bright idea of teaching us waves before electromagnetism, so I don't know.

  17. Re:First troll! on Making Data Centers More People-Friendly · · Score: 1

    It's where the cooling exhaust goes, that's why it's hot.

  18. Re:The "b eyond the theoretical limits" thing on World's Most Powerful Optical Microscope · · Score: 2
    They're not perfectly still, they are standing waves. Their equation is something like cos(wt)exp(-kx), meaning every point oscillates in phase and the amplitude decays quickly with distance.

    If you put a medium with a different refractive index (can't remember if higher or lower, I'd have to work it out), you can get a propagating wave from that.

  19. Re:The "b eyond the theoretical limits" thing on World's Most Powerful Optical Microscope · · Score: 2

    If those little spheres are acting as lenses then how is it not a direct observation?

    You can recover information that is usually lost in far field observation by putting something (like these spheres) very close to the source that turns those evanescent waves into propagating waves you can observe in the far field.

  20. Re:Not entirely wrong. on Why Microsoft Is Being Nicer To Open Source · · Score: 1

    Just like during the fifa World Cup coca-cola cheers for Argentina in Argentina, for Brazil in Brazil, etc..

  21. Re:CODECs? on Apertus, the Open Source HD Movie Camera · · Score: 1

    I, for one, would only buy a camera if it ran on jet fuel.
