In every case, the researchers were able to make high-quality graphene via carbon deposition on copper foil. In this process, the graphene forms on the opposite side of the foil as solid carbon sources decompose; the other residues are left on the original side. Typically, this happens in about 15 minutes in a furnace flowing with argon and hydrogen gas and turned up to 1,050 degrees Celsius.
To demonstrate, the researchers subsequently tested a range of materials, as reported in the new paper, including chocolate, grass, polystyrene plastic, insects (a cockroach leg) and even dog feces (compliments of lab manager Dustin James' miniature dachshund, Sid Vicious).

Technology might make people lazy. What else is new?
Wait till you're 70+. Your definitions of laziness might shift a bit.
We'll cope, so long as we do something about the lawsuits. I'm wondering if the liability factor might make this technology just as expensive as a group home.
Now you're talking. Since the first time I saw what was being done in Japan with robots, exoskeletons etc. I've been thinking "what would happen if one eventually malfunctions and drops an old lady?". OMG ROBOTS HURT OLD PEOPLE! Anyone *thinking* of implementing this has thought of that, but so did manufacturers of mobility devices or *any* medical equipment, with the ensuing insurance costs. Is a broken hip more scandalous because a weird exoskeleton failed instead of a walker?
Hate much? Surely you won't mind being remembered as "the generation that brought on the War on Terror, wasting the lives of thousands of young Americans and thus bringing grief on their homes, all while throwing valuable resources into a futile war to deepen the pockets of contractors and arms manufacturers", and being held personally accountable for those events. Because of course it was YOU who did it.
I'm not sure about this. When I read the title I was updating CyanogenMod7 in my rooted smartphone and my background thoughts were about some nifty projects I'm going to post on Instructables.com. Imagine my disillusion upon reading the summary.
One of the ostensible purposes of such prizes is to subsidize further research. If the recipient of a Fields Medal is past his or her prime, the monies will be wasted, Hardy's observation may no longer hold, but old traditions die hard.
Quoth WIkipedia:
It comes with a monetary award, which since 2006 is C$15,000.
Nice but it doesn't quite free the recipient from pecuniary worries.
The monetary award is much lower than the roughly US$1.5 million given with each Nobel prize. Other major awards in mathematics, such as the Abel Prize [six million kroner, which is approx. (2010) €740,000 or US$992,000] and the Chern Medal [$250,000], have a large monetary prize like a Nobel.
Several local police officers and NASA OIG agents then moved in on the suspect, took possession of the alleged moon rock and detained the woman for questioning.
"NASA OIG"? Wikipedia to the rescue:
Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is an office that is part of Cabinet departments and independent agencies of the United States federal government as well as some state and local governments. Each office includes an Inspector General and employees charged with identifying, auditing, and investigating fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement within the parent agency.
Of course - otherwise it'd be pretty much a dud. Also, if it's rooted (which is a trivial step compared to installing CM), you can use Market Enabler to fake any network (MCC+MNC) and use the corresponding market.
Salisbury steak was invented by an American physician, Dr. J. H. Salisbury (1823–1905), and the term "Salisbury steak" was in use in the USA from 1897.
The Ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. In Byzantine Greek the word was spelled or pita, meaning pie. The word has now spread to Turkish as pide, in Balkan languages: Serbo-Croatian pita, Albanian pite, Bulgarian pita, Modern Hebrew pitth via the Judaeo-Spanish pita.
In Compiz the closest option is the Grid plugin (screenshot), which in turn was inspired on WinSplit Revolution. The current ideas for future features in Compiz would bring on par with Win7 behaviour and even better, like:
Make the grid size reconfigurable instead of the fixed 33%,50%,66% sizes (ie. Maybe an even better option is to retain the 2x3 grid, but allow the user to specify how big the grid blocks are.)
Perhaps assign a layout per workspace or hotkey to switch between grid sizes
In addition to the horizontal 1/2 and 2/3 cycle, it would be great to have a vertical 1/3 and 2/3 cycle. -- Unfortunately that gives a cycle of length 9 when combined with the horizontal cycle. Unless you can think of better shortcut keys.
Have a way to "group" 2 (or more?) windows (and horizontally organize this group). Concrete example : i like to have 66% of my screen occupied by Firefox and then 33% split in 2 for skype+pidgin contact lists (all of these windows full height).
Sticky windows - adjacent windows to the one being tiled get resized along with the current one. We would need some way to toggle stickyness to allow a 2x1 layout to be changed into a 3x1
Original Size (KP5 cycle). Sometimes when you open an application, it has a "typical" size to match the look and feel of the app. For certain circumstances, one might want to use grid to tile it for a brief period of time. It would be useful if grid could remember all windows "start size & position". Makes sense to be a toggle of the KP5 cycle.
Laptop Keyboard without numberblock - I use grid on my laptop without a numberblock (and I can only assume that KP means numberblock). I overwrote the shortcuts simulating a numberblock with the letter K in the middle. Any chance you could make an alternativ and intuitive default for laptop-keyboards?
I wonder why did the HTML tags in your post come out quoted?
I mean, instead of:
Who is going to pick someone who is smarter than them, or who is going to give them competition for promotion?
Which is what you get if you write:
<quote><p>Who is going to pick someone who is smarter than them, or who is going to give them competition for promotion?</p></quote>
Your posts shows the html tags, as if the edit box contained:
<quote><p>Who is going to pick someone who is smarter than them, or who is going to give them competition for promotion?</p></quote>
Did you do it on purpose? I'm asking partly because it made me really curious, and partly because I suspect that not everyone else writes their posts with HTML tags.

I think he meant a joke by choosing another sense of "marry":
1. (intransitive) To enter into the conjugal or connubial state; to take a husband or a wife
as in "Johnny married Jane, then the computer married them both and the three were happy ever after". Then again, not much of value was lost.
I'd turn off my PC, ride a bus to the library, pick up what books may relate to what I want to know and spend the afternoon taking notes by hand.
He made an interesting choice, though - replaced the dog with a MacBook *and* a kid.

Same COD. Is that what you meant?
BTW, the "Terms and exclusions" clause of my signature is there exactly for cases like this.

So, the NASA guys were more like private detectives (I know, I know) and the cops did the arrest

I'm also glad to see that /. is working on the fortune generator. Too bad it blurts all fortunes in ROT-13. Hint for the curious:

Why? It's a question and a legitimate one, not an affirmation. Booing at these questions is what fanboyism is about.
