Interesting? Perhaps,... but wrong. Nuclear submarine reactors are all PWRs. The US Navy did experiment with a sodium-cooled reactor at a land-based prototype in upstate NY, and they tried one in USS Seawolf in 1957 but they converted the reactor to PWR the following year and never tried it again.
Actually, speeding, by itself, is not a criminal offense. That's why (among other things) you can't get a jury trial for a speeding ticket. IANAL. YMMV, especially if you speed.
I've heard that, for example, the county in which Jack Daniels operates was dry in order to "punish" the distillery for some real or perceived conflict. Seems kinda silly. When you go to the distillery and buy a bottle, you can only get it in some special gift-wrapped box since you can't drink it nearby.
Maybe. But we have Braille on drive-thru ATMs around here. No joke. (I know: they just use the same ATMs in drive-thrus as in other locations. It still strikes me as funny.)
Exactly my thought. For example, how many people (not on/. which is *not* representative of the whole population) have heard of Shockley, Bardeen, Kilby et al. who invented transistors and ICs, which have had such a huge impact on life as we know it?
Because it was well known to Slashdot editors that coconut shells are highly prized for their special ability to precipitate Monty Python quotes and Gilligan's Island jokes.
You don't RC. It is very reactive - particularly with water - but it doesn't react with everything. If it did, we wouldn't have batteries made with it.
You're right that it's # of transistors/chip, but hard drives, magnetic tapes, and the particular device/material in TFA do not use transistors to store data. I should have said "processors and RAM". There are other similar "laws" (e.g. Kryder's Law for hard drives), referenced in that wikipedia article, but Moore's Law applies to transistors, as you pointed out.
Yeah!
Except it's not at all equivalent, since URLs are delineated in a standard (http://www.w3.org/Addressing/rfc1738.txt) that specifies the use of (a subset of) the ASCII character set, whereas Nintendo is free to make their products work whichever way legally makes them the most profit, which limiting them to Kanji would severely curtail.

A new species has been discovered...sig hypocrite. Has a sig but doesn't want to see anyone else's.
Is your point that 1920x1200 is not an option for a 15.4" laptop screen?
That's what I'm on right now. Lenovo Thinkpad W500. 1920x1200 15.4" display.
That's awesome! I've got to give that to my wife. Thanks.
I'd say it was a veiled and subtle woosh and he should keep his geek points.

Time to squash this thread before it gets out of hand.

Unfortunately, they also have the best network coverage, at least here in Oregon, making it tough for people to switch to another carrier.
Excessive meme mixing: +1 Funny denied.
Are you guys still the only state in the Union where radar detectors are illegal?
Maybe.

ZOMG!! I knew it! Radioactive fruit!
Stop this madness!
Yeah, I've certainly found that my superior spelling abilities have given me great success with the ladies!
Not.
If these weather balloons are visible on Google StreetView then something fishy is definitely going on.
Please mod up informative!

Well, this sort of thing has cropped up before and it has always been attributable to human error. I hope you're not concerned about this, Dave.
thereby reducing the surrounding temperature, don't they? Gardenias do smell nice though.

Your "i.e." is incorrect. Written does not mean "on paper". It could be on "stone" (silicon, etc.) e.g. lithography.

It's no worse than Fictionology! Well, maybe it is.
