When I saw "astronomy hacks" I thought they meant Google Moon. The "hack" part would be when you zoom all the way in on the surface of the moon. Holy cow;-)
I was more impressed with that hot European chick "playing" with the robot. He's all "show me your move", she moves the object up and down, and then little robot starts a movement closly resembleing masturbation. OMG LOL!!! It was even funnier because that girl is so cute....
I hate it when people improve on a technology (computer displays) and call it something it is not. Paper. It's closer to a Plasma TV than a piece of paper.
I understand the pipedream is to have paper products like newspapers and magazines replaced with these kinds of displays, but those are "periodicals" that just so happen to be printed on actual paper.
So why don't they just quit with the marketing BS and call it something else.
Make up a name like "eSheets", or something. Just not paper.
...I call it the "Environmental Orbiting Band-Aid®".
What next? Satellites shooting down on Earth huge globs of Neosporin®? How about instead, we, oh...I don't know...try fixing the problem? Just an suggestion.
"Personally, I take the "you never know" ideology and save everything."
That's a good ideology, because I'm sure we'll develop an AI that would be more than happy to deep search this data someday and shed light on some history we never knew about. It could be very interesting.
"A new avalanche of records from the Bush administration--the most electronic presidency yet--will descend in three and a half years, when the president leaves office."
The Bush Administration is also the most secretive presidency yet. It would certainly be interesting to be on the IT staff "archiving" that set of data. The IT boss would be amazed out how much free overtime is staffers were willing to do in the middle of the night...
What do you think would happen in the USA if good ol' President George W. Bush told the nation that we need to, "Start filtering out Al-Jazeera and other Pro-terrorist websites. It's harming young American minds and threatens our way of life. In order to defeat the Evil doers, we must cut off the roots gripping at America's throats: False Islamic Propaganda."
I guarantee, 40% of this country would instantly go along with the Bush's plan or legislation. Maybe even 60%, if his speech was preceeded by some "Cyber-Terrorist attack". "That's the price of freedom!!" supporters would cry out. Who doubts those are the exact same reasons Iran's Govt gives their people as the justification for such Web filters?
Liberals would fight the law, and the Bush supporters would label those Liberals "Anti-American"....Oh, wait, that's already happened....
It was a major earthquake (7.0), but as far as the tsunami goes, since this latest one was a strike-slip movement, there was practically no tsunami at all. That means the plates moved horizontally against eachother. It's the vertical moving dip-slip fault earthquakes you need to worry about for tsunami's.
Well, first of all, I don't see a DVD version of my VHS tape speed rewinder. Why should I go and by a DVD player if I'm just gonna end up burning out the motor drive? Some people just have money to burn I guess.
EXACTLY! I'm sure we're all "guilty" of downloading software we've only tried once or twice, or heaven forbid, we NEVER even installed. It's just 1's and 0's sitting on that $0.18 CD-R collecting dust on the shelf. Never would have paid for it anyway. Does that kind of action "steal" from the company? Nope.

Yeah! Try this new Periodic table. It's real simple to read and understand! Have fun!

Looks like the article was posted on a Fold-N-Drop server.

Wouldn't a LaGrange point be a good place to build a Death Star?
Oh, so that's why the military wants to get there first.
True. His humour is now a sphere moving through a vacuum.
...if they have crappy movies about their core too. Poor bastards.
World's.
Worst.
Ice Cream.
Headache.
Ever.

Hello Kitty!
You should have rephrased your question:
"Can I get a Slashdot article and some money meow?"
I hate to burst your bubble, but you just got slashdotted.

That was a funny thread! OMG. Where are the moderators + Funny!!!?
One word: Godzilla
The amount of people killed by this "effect" of radiation are truly countless. It's a God damned shame.
Oh, man, I wish I had mod points for that one. ROFLMAO!
