Exactly, he's just trading on his name. He would never have gained that many readers if he hadn't already been famous for... er... I'll get back to you.
It's not an obscure compound, and you can tell exactly what it is from the name.
First you have vanadium - which is right between titanium and chromium on the periodic table; it's a moderately common metal (somewhat more expensive than copper), used mostly as a steel additive. Even if you've never heard of vanadium, the name pretty much tells you that it's an element (which forms oxides, apparently).
These are freaking scientists; learning to use tex for scientific publishing is first-year undergrad stuff. How would you even draw something like a Feynman diagram in Powerpoint?
If the only recorded information is your own notes, then you need to either stenograph the talk with no time to digest (which leaves you with the same problem as the information-filled slides did, plus finger cramps), or risk missing something important.
I'll concur that slides are a very poor format for a handout, though, and senseless if you're not even projecting the slides during the talk. Just hand out the notes.
My Debian installation regularly manages to lock up nouveau to the point where it has to be shut down via ssh or a hardware switch. This has happened at least once or twice per week for almost a year, more when running any graphics-intensive program. I'm not sure if this is representative, but WTF.
And then decides she doesn't want the product of that to be distributed anymore, that's her right. This is one of the best justifications of enforcing a copyright you could possibly come up with.
Does Apple sell factories, and it has a public shop where it sells them, and Arizona walked in to ask to buy one?
Then no, Apple choosing not to build a factory in Arizona is a completely different thing than a business refusing service to a customer. I don't even get how you'd arrive at this stupid analogy.
Yeah, and maybe he doesn't believe in bacteria, so he shouldn't be obligated to wash his hands before handling food. Or he doesn't believe in fire, so he doesn't need to ensure his shop is in line with public safety codes. Or he doesn't believe in paying taxes.

... aw, still not a planet. :-(
Is it safe to electrocute your own brain?
This is going to be a bit of a puzzler.
That's the important question.
We don't want a repeat of the Pluto incident. The solar system is already 11% gone, who knows how much we'll lose.
I know, right? I just went to Google to find another example, but nothing came up.
You mean nanoparticles of a substance called "vanadium dioxide" , don't you?
"Flu virus predicted to take US congress in 2014 with 96.34% certainty."
holy shit
guys
government is complicated.

Might be a good first step to become qualified to write about technology.
That kind of competence is what is supposed to distinguish an op-ed writer from an amateur blogger.

Second, you have oxygen, which... yeah. ;)

People can die suddenly and randomly of natural causes; even famous people.
Fiction may abhor a coincidence, but real life loves them.
When simply starting the client kills my X session about every third time.

Rational thought and empathy aren't a religion, they are essential qualities and to deny them is to deny your own humanity.
1.) People trust idiots they know over scientists they don't know.
2.) People don't respond well to being informed they are wrong.
1. Corporation does nothing to help the poor.
- Evil.
2. Corporation does something to help the poor.
- PR move.
The cake is a lie!

Owned and not licensed by GEMA (at least to Google); that's the problem.

Plenty of heterosexual business owners are putting pressure on Arizona too. Because you don't have to be gay to oppose this crap, just not an asshole.
Ass. Buttocks. Hindquarters. Rear. Plot. :P
