Yoo-geun's dream is to make flying cars, based on the superstring theory - an attempt by science to explain all particles and forces of nature by representing them as vibrations of tiny strings.
"It goes against Newton's law. Everything on earth gets drawn to the surface by gravity, but in the case of flying cars, it's different," Song said. "There should exist the same opposite magnitude of power as the earth's gravity-pull. So, a balance is formed between gravity and reaction, which makes flying cars float in the atmosphere," he explained.
Correction: He acts like an eight year old by talking about flying cars, but explains it with an area of physics which makes my brain hurt.
Never mind, I didn't RTFA. People could use the telephone to search email. It just doesn't seem to make much sense to search the internet by telephone, unless it's email.
So that's what those certifications are. Couldn't really figure out what those were for. Oughta take one of them FE test thingamajigers.
Shoot, useful information on Slashdot? What is this world coming to?:P
But yes, I know that at some schools engineering degrees are 5-year deals, but not at UC's. They heavily pressure you to complete in 4 years, seeing as how the state pays half your tuition. Thank god for AP's...:P
And yet they make doctors go to school for twice as long, so engineers who need to be just as knowledgable and well-trained have to cram it into four years. Ah well.
Why not use linux/windows instead of windows/linux?
And why not use emacs/vi instead of vi/emacs? And just for good measure, let throw in Google's growth, NASA's spending, the RIAA, and DRM. What about those?
In Red Mars, the cable was something like 10 meters wide and there was little atmosphere to burn it up, not to mention the cable was severed near the areosynchronous point. Since the only the cable below the cut would fall down, it was the worst possible case.
Many current space elevator ideas don't have this monster cable, since thickness doesn't matter too much. They instead use a relatively thin, light, and obscenely strong ribbon, which if severed would flutter down and burn up, not slam into the earth.
I'd have to recommend "Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa", which translates to "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", and not "Warrior of the Wind", which is the American version, butchered by cuts.
I'd rate it as one of the best Miyazaki films, up there with Mononoke Hime and Totoro, and I'd rate the cut version as one of the worst, down there with Laputa (personal opinion).
Assuming 1/3 of studies are wrong, and 1/2 of scientific papers are wrong, and ten percent (made this one up) of slashdot articles are dupes, what are the chances of a study in a scientific paper mentioned on slashdot being incorrect?
Slashdot Mirror
Agreed. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go reformat for the third time because of my (*^&$!@#*&^$! K8T800 mobo.
Hogfather? Seriously? I thought it was terrible.
Then again, my favorites were "The Truth" and pretty much any Watch book.
Don't forget glowing mice.
That one came first.
I move that we change the name of the animal from "Godzilla" to "Godzuki". Then promptly try to forget it.
My first impression after reading the headline:
MS: You take AOL.
Google: No, you take it!
MS: No, you!
Google: You!
We're talking about AOL here.
I'm disappointed in you, Slashdot nerds. For shame!
Not a bad deal, that's only slightly more than the rent in Berkeley.
Nope, it's copyrighted. "Cerberus", however, is not.
What about Hurricane Pi?
Mmmm...hurricane pi...
Never mind, I didn't RTFA. People could use the telephone to search email. It just doesn't seem to make much sense to search the internet by telephone, unless it's email.
Do they mean "microphone", or is this some sort of weird unholy spawn of VoIP and Internet search?
Not a big deal, we already control the gorillas' habitats.
Now when the dolphins grow opposable thumbs, then we're screwed.

Dub vs. Sub? Nah, that one's obvious.
I was under the impression that one implies the other.
The food a life form eats is what it uses to replenish itself, and eventually incorporate into itself.
Us humans eat very carbon-filled meals; not silicon meals of rocks or something odd like that.

Look closer. Most posts are cracking jokes at the expense of reality shows.

Don't forget Hiroko.
Send female astronauts.
Problem solved.
Oops, I mean math puzzle.
Logic puzzles would have that "Sue is taller than Jimmy and does not own a red convertible" stuff.
Ooh, it's like one of those logic puzzles!

Ooh, it looks like MacGuyver's on! Who's the other one? :P
