  1. Re:Wolfram = the Trump of computer science on How Stephen Wolfram Devised Interstellar Travel (And Code Samples) For 'Arrival' (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    Thank you for saying this. I'm glad to see that the first comment was a sane one.

  2. Incident on Electric Eel Shocks Like a Taser · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't eel me bro!

  3. Re: My phd? on What's Your STEM Degree Worth? · · Score: 1

    Then how does one put a dollar value on that? In addition you need to offset that with what I was paid as a research assistant each year.

  4. Re:My phd? on What's Your STEM Degree Worth? · · Score: 0

    That's strange. I was responding to this part of the article:

    "In another study, Webber considered samples with postgraduate training."

    In any case, my undergraduate math degree cost zero dollars also.

  5. My phd? on What's Your STEM Degree Worth? · · Score: 0

    More than I paid for it - zero dollars.

    They encrypt all of your data and keep it secret. Until the day that they don't.

    What was the point of examining this individual animal?

    very interesting.

  10. Re: The summary on Phenomenon Discovered In Ultracold Atoms Brings Us a Step Closer To Atomtronics · · Score: 2

    You can actually do an experiment that macroscopically results in true spinning of a cylinder due to aligned little spins. I can't find a reference. Anyone recall?

  11. 100?? on The RFP and IT Logistics For Washington's "Pot Czar" · · Score: 2

    So big deal, 100... It is not uncommon for a science dept at a university to get 400 applications for a tenure track position.

  12. Re:This was proven years ago... on Study: Piracy Doesn't Harm Digital Media Sales · · Score: 3, Insightful

    For example, just because some people steal cars doesn't mean that I am not going to buy a car. It's all very deep.

  13. Re:30 years for a non violent crime. on Reuters' Matthew Keys Accused of Anonymous Conspiracy · · Score: 3, Informative

    Like Madoff. How do you feel about his sentence?

  14. Re:Can I be on Slashdot... on Take Hands-Free 360 Degree Panoramic Photos With an iPhone (Video) · · Score: 1

    It's definitely interesting. These guys wrote some code to do something with the phone that is not what the phone was designed to do and is unexpected. And it is cool that they do it with just what was in the phone. But I did watch a 7 minute video hoping to see the thing do its trick and ended up having to watch it on the website of the company.

    But we could have given it to condensed matter physics research, which gets way less than NASA, or other branches of physics, such as particle physics, yet has numerous applications, while still contributing to our fundamental understanding of the world, through applications of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics.

  20. Re:Tape a phone on it on Arduino and MK802 Robot, Controlled By Phone · · Score: 1

    True. But instead we get another tiresome robot this-or-that story.

  21. Re:Yogurt does the same thing on Gut Bacteria Cocktail May End Need for Fecal Transplants · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, but yogurt tastes like shit.
