I have been in a similar situation, and what worked very well for me (just as keywords, just google it or get a book):
1. make the work, priorities and non-work visible through visual management techniques (Kanban Board etc.) -> see Lean
2. explicitly limit parallel work, think of your team as a laser not as a lightbulb
3. talk with your team about how different decisions are made, try to keep the decisions with the experts (them): see delegation poker or delegation board from management 3.0
4. They want to make the right things, really: Think about all information they need to do make the right decisions, (from business perspective, not limitied to tech) and provide them with that. Trust them.
5. remove non-work items. Meetings, calls, e-mails, etc. my most happy and productive current team does not own a phone, and has received less than 1000 mails in one year, including notifications - 8 people.
Use the following for optiomal perfomance:
(1) IMAP for input, storage and access from any client for daily use
(2) Configure Apache Solr to index your IMAP-Mails
(3) web-based search-interface to access your SOLR index (
(4) use (hierarchical) faceting
(see example: http://search.lucidimagination.com/)
I think he knows that his experimental data is crap. The note on the dirtiness of the procedures in the abstracts hints to the fact, that he put out one sample and accidentally found what could be something hyper-interesting.
Out of fear of being out-published by someone else, he put out this paper, that - if this is an RT superconductor - he can (rightly) claim having discovered it (leading to wealth and nobel price). Now he can go back an do some proper experiments.
The problem with information packed slides is that the audience is momentarily given lots of information but having too little time to parse it won't recall it later.
Actually, most presentators use that as a FEATURE:
The non-understanding of the basic facts caused by intentional information overload guarantees, that there are no valid refutations in the discussions phase, which makes for an easy pitch (of mostly bad ideas).
If you want realistic shooters, try Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon series. Weapon effects and impacts are realistic as it comes, graphics could be more state-of-the-art.

nice trollpost ;-)

You might want to have a look at Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) as a concept.
Introduce Kanban + CI -> CI + Kanban Makes "plans" superfluos -> Kanban Makes it possible to use Good Team input
Revision numbers just don't market well....
There ARE successfull boycotts in history, for example the boycott of south african products by european customers. Brought down a whole Government.
No. I saw your comment.

It's the thing, facebook runs on.

Seems more like the generation "C&C" is producing its first results. Tiberium beware!

Just give it to Al Gore :-)
dare you to question the existance of the FSM!!! ;-)
the slime mold [...] was comparable in efficiency, reliability, and cost to the real-world infrastructure of Tokyo's train network.
That means: both have been made by intelligent designers!
I dunno, it works pretty well over here in Switzerland, population somewhere between 7 and 8 million.
Yeah, until some outsiders come around. Then you get the tyranny of the majority ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority ). Tolerance? Yes! Want to build some minarets? No. ..

But with a better plot, please.
Won't be that hard to accomplish. Every story is. Even 2012.
... as a guy I had just shot in the arm could level his gun and kill me just an instant after I shot him.
Got a hint for you :-):
Two in the body,
one in the head,
always leaves the target dead

Genius idea: have the Slashdot summary link to the actual story. YES!!!
You must be new here.
How much is that in POOT (Power Output Of Togo)?
You're telling me that some people think there is a mass of garbage in the Pacific Ocean SLIGHTLY LARGER than Russia???
Stupid people with no math skills! News at 11. ;-)
And you know everybody is going to use clients that don't bother them with ads.
Sure... seen any non-slashdot-user using ICQ or MSN lately?
