Submission + - Egyptian electrical engineering (thealphanews.com)
hh4m writes: Evidence of circuits and wiring diagrams found in great pyramid, could it be a great power house?
"New images from inside the Great Pyramid shaft reveal evidence of electrical terminals, cables and even ancient wiring diagrams!
The discovery of electrical contacts and wiring inside the Great Pyramid, along with markings that show how to connect them, do not fit anywhere in conventional Egyptology but confirm the theory first published in my book, The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt in 1998.
Only this theory has ever made such predictions, and every robot explorer they send up the shafts finds more and more evidence to prove that the theory is correct."

Because it's no longer investing.
It's gambling.
In gambling, the only winner is the house. In this case it's the brokerages.
I hope this helps.

Submission + - Chrome OS to Support "Legacy" PC Apps
adeelarshad82 writes: According to a message posted to a public mailing list dedicated to Chrome OS a new feature is in the works that will grant users access to "legacy PC applications" through some kind of remote desktop connection process. Google software engineer Gary Kamark, who first spilled the beans on the feature, calls the process, "Chromoting." The current speculation amongst Chrome enthusiasts is that the Chromoting process is more akin to a VPN/sharing functionality than anything else. In that case, one would have to leave one's Windows-based desktop or laptop system on in order to access apps via a connected Chrome OS computer—which, itself, is hardly a technological leap given that numerous applications today offer users an analogous screen-sharing / remote access functionality.
Submission + - Flash on Windows Phone 7 devices? (reportech.net) 1
TalTara writes: While Microsoft downplays the possibility of Flash on Windows Phone 7 devices, Adobe seems to support the Windows Phone 7 operating system with its new Flash 10.1 — "Target mobile operating systems for Flash Player include: Android, Microsoft Windows Phone 7" (Picture — http://bit.ly/bVxSsM). This could mean we will see the first WP7 devices with flash support, a thing maybe Microsoft wants to surprise us with?

Submission + - Developing a Vandalism Detector for Wikipedia (webis.de)
marpot writes: The title really says it all. In an effort to assist Wikipedia's editors in their struggle to keep articles clean, we conduct a public lab on vandalism detection. Goal is the development of a practical vandalism detector that is capable of telling apart ill-intentioned edits from well-intentioned edits. Such a tool, which will work not unlike a spam detector, will release the crowd's workforce currently occupied with manual and semi-automatic edit filtering. The performance of submitted detectors is evaluated based on a large collection of human-annotated edits, which has been crowdsourced using Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Everyone is welcome to participate.

khrath writes: The LHC is on its way again. First beam of 2010 circulated in each direction by 04.10 CET (0310 GMT)," said CERN in a tweet on its website on Sunday.
The 3.9 billion euro (5.6 billion dollars) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was shut down in December to ready it for collisions at unfathomed energy levels. It was run for a few weeks after being successfully revived from a 14 month breakdown.

Submission + - Liberalism, atheism, male sexual exclusivity linke (cnn.com)
johncadengo writes: Political, religious and sexual behaviors may be reflections of intelligence, a new study finds. Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The reasoning is that sexual exclusivity in men, liberalism and atheism all go against what would be expected given humans' evolutionary past. In other words, none of these traits would have benefited our early human ancestors, but higher intelligence may be associated with them.
