" I can't tell you how many +3 or +0 posts I see these days with no moderation adjective."
I started noticing that a while back, too, but I don't think it's due to overuse of "overrated" and "underrated". I think something just got broken or changed in the code so that the moderation adjective, as you call it, is hidden until the rating gets high or low enough.
There are plants that "eat food". Surely something on the intracellular level, say *photosynthesis*, has something to do with the distinction between plants and animals. Also cell walls vs membranes, and probably some other stuff I forgot.
Problem, there is now, I suspect, a negative correlation between fertility rates, and wireless device usage, for other reasons, like educated women (e.g. Japan: many wi-fi devices, negative population growth, Sub-Saharan Africa: high fertility, few wi-fi devices. Need to turn that around to some extent. Wi-fi is not the answer.
No, a laser is a device for making a beam of coherent light. A 'signal', OTOH is not a good word to describe a broadly propagated EM radiation, as opposed to a narrowly propagated one.
You can replenish electrolytes, under normal circumstances, by eating food. No need to add stuff to water. If you are lost at sea, given the choice between drinking scary non-electrolytic bottled water and drinking nothing but seawater, which do you choose? There are always exceptions.
For those who can't read German, let me add that "bottled" does not occur in the German sentence. It mentions "water", as GP said. Specifically, copious amounts of water.
I did not see the show, but I'm going to hazard a guess that teachers there can enforce strict discipline when needed, but probably don't have to do so often because it's the cultural norm to behave well there. I know that pressure to follow the rules is pretty high in Singapore. Here in the US we have the mentality expressed by the bumper sticker "Well-behaved (women) rarely make history." i.e. bad behavior is not only tolerated but practically encouraged. [I put "women" in parentheses because that is what it says, but I think people apply it regardless of sex or age]. When the students have as many rights as the teachers, teaching is harder, more stressful, less esteemed. We coddle our kids. We treat them like smaller versions of adults. We expect intrinsic motivation to work with them, but it doesn't.
In some cases, like with surfactants, one end of a molecule has one property, the other end has a different property. You stick the end with one property to your surface, and the other end sticks out and interacts with whatever. In this case, I think the surface is engineered specifically to hold on to the "omniphobic" liquid with "nanosized" crevices. So it's not like you could take an *ordinary* polyethylene ketchup bottle, stick some stuff on it and have your magical slippery ketchup bottle.

For example, this comment: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2554292&cid=38233212, is modded +1 Insightful, which I can see by clicking on the "Score: 2", but I can't see the "Insightful" *until* I do that.

According to http://www.processassociates.com/process/heat/metcolor.htm, it needs to be at least 500 degrees C.

..and they're basing the 50% lethality in humans on its lethality in (ferrets, rats, ??). Might not be correct?
Maybe that's because you're getting all your news from AM radio! Just sayin'.

More like $50 than $5, but yes. And if you are within the narrow viewing angle allowed by the filter, you can still see the screen.
Is that like frenemies?
FYI (you and GP), chlorine ions are called chloride, and chloride != chlorine, chemically or physiologically.

Algorithmatize?
Program (v.)?
They probably will. Amazon does stuff like that, don't they? Trouble is, it's crappy music I don't want.
From the looks of that map, I'd swear lightning is attracted to low IQ.
Flame away!
Must be pronounced Forrest Gump style, Butt-tocks, equal emphasis on both syllables.
Thanks, Jim Gaffigan.
I dunno about Murphy's Law.
Darcy's Law or maybe Fick's Law. Now I'll go with you there.

No options left.
Damn.
Yes.

Same here, but if I had to choose one or the other, it'd be the latter!
That silent 'e' adds hydrogen and oxygen to silicon, leaving you with an insulator instead of a semiconductor.
