    51,900-pound mirror blank, which consists of an outer 27.5-foot diameter (8.4-meter) primary mirror and an inner 16.5-foot (5-meter) third mirror cast in one mold

    We'll still have CD reading drives available then, whether museum pieces or simple due to never-ending backward compatibility in newer optical drives.

    Or because of the RIAA

    They could be talking about downloading from iTunes or some other legitimate source.

  9. Re:A solution on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 1

    That could be more difficult than you think. Dating is not an easy task for most Slashdotters.

  10. Re:The Value(s) of a Gold Medal on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 1

    China has a reputation of getting things done at any cost. It does not matter to them how the task is accomplished. This is in contrast to the Japanese.

  15. Re:Can you feel the excitement? on Slashdot Announces Idle Section · · Score: 1

  16. Send more mail on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    It is obvious that samzenpus has an acute shortage of funny mail to post here. I propose that we send more mail to make his job easier.

  17. Re:The Real Question on Are US Voters Informed Enough About Science? · · Score: 1

    How can you expect them to be informed about voting when they don't even understand history and a huge percentage can't even list all 50 states let along tell you where Iraq or any other country is on a map of the globe?

  18. Download caps on US Broadband Won't Catch Up With Japan's For 101 Years · · Score: 1

    Does Japan have download/upload caps like some providers in the US? And what about p2p transfers? 50-100Mbps with no restrictions would be incredible.

    Actually I take that back. It'd be like comparing apples to (rodden)berries.

  23. Re:Scientific community? on The Flat Earthers Are Still With Us · · Score: 5, Funny

    There is no light. The Sun sucks dark. In fact it sucks dark so hard that the friction of the dark moving to the Sun causes the Sun to be very hot. The flow of dark towards the Sun interrupted by the Earth causes the side of the Earth away from the Sun to accumulate dark, thus causing Night. As the Earth rotates the dark caught on the night side can then be pulled off, this causing the absence of dark known as Day.

    What we call light bulbs are truly dark suckers as well. That is why light bulbs are hot, just like the Sun. When a light bulb is full of dark and won't suck dark any more, it cools off. If you look in old light bulbs you can even seen the accumulation of dark.

    Dark is also heavier than water. This can be seen in the oceans where the deeper you go the darker it gets.
