A pity that original submitter didn't include original research paper.
Are we talking billion=10^9 or 10^12 ? It depends on the country of origin of researchers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_scale
So I checked in the original paper, and it is 1240 Mpc=4.04*10^9 ly, so it is 4 billions ly on short scale. BTW, I hate that we have two different scales - billion is ambigious.
As much as I hate to say that, hiding a part of your education from resume (like not mentioning your PhD) is a pretty common method of getting employment. Of course with lower salary. They run screaming just because they think that they would need to pay more, because you had PhD.
OTOH, I'd say it's more interesting to puruse academic career, where money is low, but at least people apprecieate how educated you really are. And you don't need to hide your PhD. That's just my opinion. And that's why I puruse this career:)

Holografika/holovizio looks quite interesting. I've found an explanation how it works. Basically there are light sources behind the LCD screen that emit rays of light different in each direction, while LCD screen is filtering them. By this way a differently colored ray of light is going out from the same screen pixel, depending on the direction where it goes. I am not sure how exactly this LCD screen is filtering that, perhaps it is multi layered to achieve that. A quite promising approach to be honest.
I was searching if anyone mentioned hr3d, to mod him up. But unfortunately not, so instead of modding i have to mention it myself.
HR3D (high rank 3d display, where rank stands for high rank matrix used in calculations) is the future of 3d displays. It uses the parallax effect, but to much higher extend, using dual or triple stacked LCD displays. Where each display is serving as a special parallax barrier. HR3D is calculation intensive currently, this is why it is not widely adopted. But the computations costs will decrease, and it will become popular. It is not only two viewing angles for two eyes. It can have 16, 25, 36 or even more viewing angles. And you could look from far above, from far below, from far left from far right. And even look behind something. Though generating content for hr3d requires having 16, 25, 36 or even more cameras (each recording from another perspective) instead of just two cameras recording for two eyes. So it is mostly suitable for digital content, or simply put an OpenGL driver to display OpenGL graphics in real 3D. If a movie director wanted to make a movie, with actors, his camera would look like an insect head, due to so many cameras required. Or maybe some special 3D-camera that records everything and recalculated whole scene in 3D.
I am watching their progress, and can't wait when I'll be able to buy some hr3d display with OpenGL drivers for linux. Also if they went IPO I would buy their stock immediately.
ok, I assume that the cost of heating that air at bottom is already calculated in. This would mean that this AVE is pulling energy out of atmosphere (thin air, yeah), which means decreasing the air temperature. Because gas stores energy using kinetic energy of its molecules (temperature). This would mean that AVE will produce energy exploiting the global warming effect. Doubly cool solution. Even if I doubt global warming, I was always thinking, that the hotter it is, the more energy we have, the more power to us (skpping the floods of some coastal regions). I wasn't however sure how to exploit this energy. Well, perhaps AVE is the answer...
Thumbs up for the chineese. As much as I don't like their politcs & government, I am really happy that they will hopefully start a new space race. All the humanity will benefit from that.
Give me some news for nerds, not this regional crap. I don't care what is Cox & don't what to know.
They are looking for spin-2 particles at LHC, and they have a hint about two Higgs bosons. IPv6 isn't adopted yet. Quantum computers are being sold commercially. Ziegler et al. are setting up a quantum encrypted communication channel over a satellite link! There was life on earth 60 billion years earlier than previously thought.
Guys, that's what I call news. I know all that from reading slashdot (you can look it up yourself). Who cares, really, about this Cox crap?!

bitcoins? :)
I protest business(es) by not buying anything from them. Where you put your money is the most important form of democracy.
That's capitalism, actually.
as much as I love metric during daily usage, there's one thing that drives me nuts. Also while developing & testing Boost::Units library.
Think of kilogram. This is the base unit. Not gram, but kilogram. It means, that
F=m a
Newton = kilogram * meter/second^2
look at the second formula, where did the "kilo" disappear? Why it isn't a kilonewton ?

I emailed cmdrtaco once, and actually got a nice reply. Can't remember what was it about, though, but of course have it archived in claws mail.

Ok, guys, how is this different from: Drilling Begins At Lake Hidden Beneath Antarctic
oh and almost forgot, a critical question: Are they using sterilised water at near boiling point?
I'm confused. What is "article"?
Then how do you know that TFA refers to "article" :)
You didn't mention that thay hacked their website in real time, during a live radio interview. Now, that's an achievement.

What happened with mirasol display? I for one would certainly prefer this to tablet light on my eyes.
Surprisingly recently I spend more time with kindle than with ipad.
you don't need your pills. Now that summary repeats itself, you are all safe.
ok, you beat me there.
btw, I am taking my part on voting http://slashdot.org/recent
So I wonder how those submissions make it through. Maybe you (editors) need a little higher threshold for acceptance?
