And Chu got it from Rosefeld, who was saying it back when Chu ran LBL.
From the linked WSJ piece: “There’s a friend of mine, a colleague of mine, Art Rosenfeld, who’s pushing very hard for a geo-engineering we all believe will be completely benign, and that’s when you have a flat-top roof building, make it white. “Now, you smile, but he’s done a calculation, and if you take all the buildings and make their roofs white and if you make the pavement more of a concrete type of colour rather than a black type of colour, and you do this uniformly . . . it’s the equivalent of reducing the carbon emissions due to all the cars on the road for 11 years.”
No other theory works as well as dark matter (as part of LCDM) to explain obersavations. Other theories have to be changed to account for what we observe at pretty much every scale. Those that work for Galaxy rotation don't work for clusters, which don't work for lensing, which don't work for early structure formation, and so on. Sure, one or two pieces of evidence may favor one theory or another over dark matter, but LCDM fits in the vast majority of cases, far more than any other theory.
Heck, you don't think that we scientists got together one day and said "I know, lets make up some goofy theory and then fudge the data to fit it!" do you? You do realize multiple theories were purposed, predictions were created, new data was taken, and conclusions drawn about which theories were supported by the new evidence, right? And that LCDM is the one that survived all the vetting? And that this process is still on going, yet LCDM still remains as the best theory?
Just checking... See, that's sort of how science is supposed (and in this case does) work.
Occam's Razor actually works against MOND. MOND has to be changed to account for what we observe at pretty much every scale. The MOND that works for Galaxy rotation doesn't work for clusters, which doesn't work for lensing, which doesn't work for early structure formation, and so on.
LCDM accounts for this. Heck, you don't think that we scientists got together one day and said "I know, lets make up some goofy theory and then fudge the data to fit it!" do you?

A physicist. We normally end up coding in a new language with each new collobaration as you're brought into a culture where some language has already been established. On top of that, other groups will put out librarys and programs written in some other language, and you'll have to start using that to make use of their work.
"In an interview with the Associated Press, Florence Devouard, who chairs the Wikimedia Foundation, defended Wales and said he had simply been "slow in submitting receipts." She pointed out that the foundation rejected the steakhouse expense."
When we say "Galaxy Rotation Speed" we mean a measure of velocity as a function of distance from the center. To get this, you just measure the speed of stars and measure how far they are from the center. As to how you get a stars velocity, well you look at the red shift relative to the galaxy, that if the whole galaxy is moving away it will have a redshift, but stars rotating away from us in the galaxy will have a higher redshift on average, and stars rotating towards us have a lower redshift.
At least that's how I imagine they do it... IANAABIAAC (I am not an astronomer but I am a cosmologist), so I'm a little rusty on all this nearby stuff.
This won't stop until we vote their shills out of office and quit buying their "crappy" products, from them and from any other company in their portfolio.
And I'd love to! I really would! But how do you find independent music?
Labels provide advertisement and exposure. I know what artists I like because I hear them on the radio, in movies and coke commercials. I'd like to switch to supporting independent artists (because like all of Slashdot, the labels really piss me off) but I don't know how to find them.
So I need suggestions: What is the best way to be exposed to independent artists? Is there a search engine, maybe a site with radio streams organized by genre?
I want to kick the RIAA habit, but I can't do it alone.
Just because it's a black hole, doesn't mean it has to suck everything around it in. Stuff that's close enough, sure, but you can still get a stable orbit around a black hole, just like you can around any other collection of mass.
In NASA's defense, the ISS is horribly expensive ($50-100 Billion for NASA depending on how you add up costs), and very little science is going to come out of it. Spending more money to keep it up longer is probably not the best use of funds from a purely 'science gained' viewpoint.
Indeed! Carmelbuck covered the reasons Dark Matter is part of the standard cosmological model very well. His comment really should be the highest moded, not the above uninformed "Dark Matter is just made up!" rants.
I know some think it's getting hard to tell Fark and Slashdot apart these days, but all you really have to do is read the headlines and you should be a-ok.
I mean, where else do you get headlines like: "Microsoft: The Faint Smell of Rot" and "IT: MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux *Laugh*" and "Micro$oft is t3h new Ev1l!"

Which brings up the next obvious question: Will the next milestone be 4 million articles, or 2 million articles!
...to not play the game? ;-)

Clusters aren't the only things that lens. Anything with mass can do it. We've even observed planets lensing stars they're orbiting.
See for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gravitational.Microlensing.Light.Curve.OGLE-2005-BLG-006.png
The scale on the x axis is days, just to give you an idea of the time scale some of these events happen on.

Sega has a patent on Crazy Taxi gameplay, and they have sued Fox over it. Fox settled out of court, so that patent still stands. Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Taxi_(series)#Legalities

We're winning the drug war! That's the only way to explain such low numbers!
Maybe we'd better start a war on cyber crime too, seeing how the drug war has been so successful!

It's scores only, although if you have the instruments, the studio, and whatnot... You could make the music files. ;)
Wait... Something is wrong...
Episode IV was fine how it was, shouldn't this be for Episode I-III?
...shouldn't throw stones.
How does it compare to S.W.O.D.V.D.T.P?
AKA Station Wagons o' DVDs?
I'll take quality over 5 updates a week anyday.
Forcing them to update constantly would likely kill the comics we know and love until the contest is over.
Well this answers the 'Can/Will they put linux every where?' questions.
Of course, it still leaves the 'Why put linux every where?' question unanswered...
