The really silly thing about the dust-up with AMS is that the PAMELA experiment (later confirmed by Fermi) made the exact same measurement and is credited with the discovery. AMS just re-did it with smaller error bars.
Here's the original PAMELA paper from 2009: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v458/n7238/full/nature07942.html (preprint here: http://arxiv.org/abs/0810.4995 )
The dark matter interpretation isn't even new. All AMS has brought is smaller error bars.
It takes in hydrocarbons and oxygen and puts out energy? Am I a skeptic for thinking that this thing must be releasing lots of CO2? I cannot find any description of how it works. I have no doubt that it produces energy, but if it is producing gaseous CO2, it won't really help with the fundamental problem.
In the case of publicly-funded research, I'd first like to compel scientists to publish their work in a free-to-read format. Many journals do not make the articles available to the public. It seems a little wrong that public money goes to pay for research and then the results of the research -- the journal articles -- aren't available to the public.
When doing some physics (like quantum field theory) it is useful to adopt unit conventions where c=1. Using this convention, space and time would have same dimension. How long a time is 12 parsecs? It's the amount of time it takes light to travel 12 parsecs.
In this unit system, speeds are dimensionless which might explain: "She'll make.5 past light speed."
That's my cookie from google. And here it is after I did two searches. .google.com TRUE / FALSE 2147368446 PREF ID=4401313d0c3b78bb:FF=4:LD=en:NR=10:TM=1060570230:LM=1062530710:S=dfZFaYvj44zZoYY1
Can anyone tell me what it means? It doesn't look any different to me.
So it does look possible. It came from:

With around 50 million phone numbers currently signed up this could get very messy
I disagree. This just shows that this is a very popular program. If the FTC did "overstep its bounds", then I'm sure congress can be convinced to change the FTC's 'bounds.' Better to have a Congressional stamp of approval on it anyway. I get worried when federal agencies start taking too much on themselves.
In academia there is a process of peer review that keeps published works from lying about what they've done. It seems to me that open source software has the same feature. Since all the code is in the open it'd be hard to put illegal code in because it can be traced. It is in the closed-source market that you have the possibility to steal code because you simply don't let anybody look at the skeletons in your closet.

Five sigma is the standard of proof in Physics. The probability of a background fluctuation is a p-value of something like 0.0000006.

Get the Google ToolBar. Its free. I like it alot.

This is great, but let's not forget that there is always CAPPS II, which is just the TIA in disguise!

Apparently the kid is under psychiatric care and his parents are suing. I wonder if being in the star wars movie would help. Here's the story.
