FTA: As New Scientist magazine reported last week, the best performing robot last year managed an ascent of only 12 metres up a cable before it stalled, while no material came close to meeting the standards needed for building a space elevator.
Hopefully won't be too hard beating that, my mindstorm robot can do better!
Hope it's something good this time, Sony isn't exactly famous for good quality MMO games (Yes I'm not an SWG fan).
Although it's really nice to see some MMO's being made in extreme (read: good) graphics engines. Good luck!
When I was a kid I used to think that if my sword was sharpened enough so that there would only be 1 atom at the tip, it would be as sharp as the anti-robocop-ninjas' swords. Umm, how sharp exactly is this thing? Does it cut through steel easily? Or is it like, too soft?
I saw the first one, it was really good, even though you need subs because of the finnish. Amazing what some students can do with some computer skills and amateur acting.
Baby Dolphin goes downstairs and sits on her little seashell at the table. She looks into her little bowl. It is empty.
"Who's been eating my sardines?!!" she squeaks.
Daddy Dolphin arrives at the table and sits on his big seashell. He looks into his big bowl and it is also empty.
"Who's been eating my sardines?!!" he roars.
Mummy Dolphin puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells
"How many times do we have to go through this with you idiots? It was Mummy Dolphin who got up first, it was Mummy Dolphin who woke everyone in the house, it was Mummy Dolphin who made the coffee, it was Mummy Dolphin who unloaded the dishwasher from last night, and put everything away, it was Mummy Dolphin who went out in the cold early morning water to fetch the newspaper, it was Mummy Dolphin who set the damn table, it was Mummy Dolphin who put the friggin catfish out, cleaned the litter box and filled the catfish's water and food dish, and now that you've decided to drag your sorry dolphin-asses downstairs and grace Mummy Dolphin's kitchen with your grumpy presence, listen good, cause I'm only going to say this one more time...
I HAVEN'T MADE THE DAMN SARDINES YET !!"
Quite cool, a few weeks ago I was thinking about the big bang and black holes, and that all life we know of goes in circles. So I kinda got the revolutionary idea that the "big bang" was not the first or the last big bang.
I thought that black holes eventually grew so strong that they sucked in whole galaxies, and, ultimately the whole universe, and when that happened, when everything was in one single black hole, it would go BOOM! and everything would spread out again, just like the theorised big bang.
Fun to find a similar theory:)
In his research on space sports, Collins and colleagues have speculated about water sports where space tourists can dive through large blobs of water.
Blitzball anyone?
seen it, and apart from them speaking Finnish, it was actually good. Im amazed to see what a bunch of amateur students and some computer-skills can do, the effects are similar to hollywood 15 years ago.

And thanks for all the snakes. Will be missing SG-1
I'm guessing you were aiming for the Microsoft Access article, close but no cigar

go back, take a left at the coffee shop and there you have it: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/12/0
"What tools do you suggest for trying to grok a large Access mess?"
Coffee. Lots of coffee, and ignorance. It's bliss, or so I've heard.

Damn it. I'd bet my computer on that the chicken came first. Don't bet against me, just in case.

wonder if they'll ever show this in the cinemas in sweden, probably not I saw the original version, stunning, croudo really likes to show off
Deep Space Radar Telemetry huh....
I first thought the topic said "Politics: Google Buys China"
I agree
I usually get Jurassic Beavers with me home from the pub.

But I have a feeling that those earphones won't be so easy to replace when they break.
Woah, if they'd put a cellphone and mp3-player in that thing, I'd cut my arm off and go buy one. Cool.

That's like suing the rail-road company because their son stepped in front of a train. Geez.
His name is Boris. Enough said.
Go with SWG 2.
Duct Tape. Put lots of those small things together, add some chewing gum and you've made a bomb.
So when will we see those eye-chips with laser? I'd buy it.
Why won't the scientists just hurry up and finish Ununpentium in a solid state so we can start building nice space ships instead
