Don't mock the article. Here's what I found from a brief Google search: Yearly spending per household 2009: Housing – shelter – $10,023 Pensions, Social Security – $5,027 Food – food at home – $3,465 Transportation – gasoline, motor oil – $2,384 Shower curtain rings - $2,105 Healthcare – $2,853
You'd be surprised how much the average household spends on shower curtain rings. Shower curtain ring failure is an important cause of household injury, and has a high fatality rate. Also, you probably underestimate addictiveness of the shower curtain. While you may only need the ones that came with your shower curtain when you moved into the house 15 years ago, plenty of addicts blow through new shower curtain at a rate of dozens per day.
You may have heard of Narcotics Anonymous or the AA. There's also the SCA, and a non-spiritual group called Glass door which helps people get over this dreadful affliction.
While 3d printers may reduce the cost of the curtain rings, which may help financially, they will not be doing anything for the root cause of the problem. This is just another reason 3d printers should be banned from general use.
Most significant moons in the Solar System are tidally locked with their primaries, since they orbit very closely and tidal force increases rapidly (as a cubic) with decreasing distance. Notable exceptions are the irregular outer satellites of the gas giant planets, which orbit much farther away than the large well-known moons.
Pluto and Charon are an extreme example of a tidal lock. Charon is a relatively large moon in comparison to its primary and also has a very close orbit. This has made Pluto also tidally locked to Charon. In effect, these two celestial bodies revolve around each other (their barycenter lies outside of Pluto) as if joined with a rod connecting two opposite points on their surfaces.
The tidal locking situation for asteroid moons is largely unknown, but closely orbiting binaries are expected to be tidally locked, as well as contact binaries.
Why, oh, why couldn't you have written the summary? You actually summarize what has happened, rather than wasting a long sentence just mentioning you went to the conference and stayed at another hotel. I hope you are modded up.
Submitters - think before you submit, and make the summary so good we are not forced to read the article. Editors - feel free to edit and improve things, and importantly, you don't need to sensationalize everything for us to read it - that just pisses us off.
Nah, he should stick to an analog watch. Draw a circle on your wrist, with the big hand upwards and the little hand at 5 o'clock. It may not have the precision of your watch, but at least it's +/-5 minutes for 1.4% of the time.
For that steampunk feel, draw a fob watch on your nipple.
If you own a Mac it shows that you have money to burn, and aren't that worried about prudent use of money. So why not sell things to Apple users? They're great consumers.
Slashdot is just full of negativity about everything. Just stupid overused jokes, and ridiculous theories about what a "hacker" or the NSA could do to your system. It's hard to think that people here are able to achieve anything in the real world harbouring such pathological cynicism. The world is actually a pretty cool place.
There's nerdiness - in which people should get excited about this type of stuff; and then there's bitterness - where everything is stupid and a waste of time. I hope that the two are independent variables.
I've only just (in the last 2 months) started browsing reddit. Sure there's a lot of crap, but everyone seems much more positive than they do here. Nearly every new device or technology, from the Ouya to the Oculus, including every new Nasa project, every new discovery, is just bagged without any real interest on Slashdot.
Sorry, I've been away for a few days and couldn't check replies.
I'm not worried about CO2. But went I'm waiting at the lights, sitting behind a diesel bus and a few SUVs, I wish they had electric engines. Surely it would improve the local quality of the air.
Follow the blogs you've been hearing about. Share the things that you love.
That is literally the biggest piece of text on their main page. I just looked it up right now. If you can't figure out what Tumblr is about, that is a deficiency with yourself, not the platform.
It sounds to me like marketing bullshit or a slogan - it doesn't really describe anything.
What actually happens on the site?
Does it just display feeds of popular blogs, and you get to recommend some?
If you take all the primes from 2 to 23, and multiply them all then and one, you get 223092871 a non-prime, with 317 and 703763 as its prime factors.
I don't, however, see how it is obvious that multiplying all the primes in a list, then adding one, should mean that the result cannot be factorised by the original component primes.
Traditionally, when you're joking you should write something that's funny.
Let me demonstrate.
"You want me to fix your toaster? Hold it firmly and run hot water over it, while putting its plug in the power outlet." This is only funny if you get it.
Humor is suggesting a (absurd yet understandable) relation between unlikely things.
It also needs a degree of originality and unexpectedness to it - absurdity is not enough. I found rew's comment funny because I wasn't expecting that reply.
The toaster thing isn't funny at all. It's just nasty. Water + electrical appliances have been way overdone in both pop culture and humour.
Saying 42 might have been funny if they were researching a number that had some abstract relationship to the meaning of life - but even then it would be predictable and overused.
But it's not funny just to answer 42 to any mathematics question. It's not funny at all.
From the article: "Einstein's planet," formally known as Kepler-76b, is a "hot Jupiter" that orbits its star every 1.5 days. Its diameter is about 25 percent larger than Jupiter and it weighs twice as much. It orbits a type F star located about 2,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.
The planet is tidally locked to its star, always showing the same face to it, just as the Moon is tidally locked to Earth. As a result, Kepler-76b broils at a temperature of about 2000 Kelvin.

This phenomenon is called tidal locking.
From Wikipedia:
Most significant moons in the Solar System are tidally locked with their primaries, since they orbit very closely and tidal force increases rapidly (as a cubic) with decreasing distance. Notable exceptions are the irregular outer satellites of the gas giant planets, which orbit much farther away than the large well-known moons.

$25! Shit, you're have to be a thousandairre to afford that.
Actually, you don't have to do anything. Stick with your old bulbs, and cheer the fuck up.

Slashdot seems a lonely place.
Morse code.
I had a brief relationship with him. Didn't end well, I was pretty young at the time. I got a good settlement though.

I'd guess the "80%" thing can be measured with official records. Divorces and marriages are usually recorded by the state.
Yeah... judging from that comment I wouldn't advise you to try any form of online communication.
Every article submitted to Slashdot must end with an inflammatory, baseless statement. It's the rules.
Bonus points if the statement is about weaponisation or privacy concerns.
Seriously, what do people have against them?
I think they're the coolest thing out there, and they provide a way to stop importing oil from the Muslims.
It's well known that central electricity production is significantly more efficient that a bunch of separate internal combustion engines.
But why the hate? I know the NYT has a vendetta against the electric car - they're a bunch of scumbags. But why do normal people hate them?
And what happens?
Nearly all of the time you get better after a few days, and if things persist they can investigate more.
What else would you want? 100 tests every time you got sick?
