Why did you spend 10 seconds writing that post when you could be contributing to the search for a cure for cancer?
How many precious minutes have you wasted combing your hair? Trimming your toenails? Time's a-wastin'!
I've also heard that if you put one of these things in a freezer you can get them to run backwards...
So that's what Cameron should've done with his dad's car!
Can someone explain to me again why this couldn't be modified, scaled up and used as a micro thrust system for satellites and such?
Can you explain how it could be modified, scaled up, and used as a micro thrust system?
First problem: it goes round and round, but doesn't produce net thrust in any one direction.
You forgot poorly-lit, hand-held, un-rehearsed, and with the phrase "So I'm just gonna go ahead and..." repeated several hundred times.
Many respectable physicists said that they weren't going to stand for this, partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sorts of parties.

I hope that at least one of you is wrong.
Michael Ramsay and Jim Barton created a revolution with TiVo, a device that challenged the notion that we had to watch TV shows when they aired.
Wow, how old are you*? Do you even know what a VCR is?
*and by "you," I obviously don't mean Velcroman1, the story's submitter, because he didn't actually write any of it.
When Is It Better To Modify the ERP vs. Interfacing It?
Modify the what?
I work for one of the largest HVAC manufacturers
A what manufacturer?
We've currently spent millions of dollars investing in an ERP system
A what system?
but it's been a great ordeal getting the thing to work for us across SBUs
Across what?
(via API of choice)?
Ooh, I know that one!

First: when we have established a universal law, and something obeys that law, it is not strange.
Strangeness is a subjective quality.
The laws themselves are strange to the majority of people because they run counter to everyday experience, therefore things that obey those laws also appear strange.
Two: when you assert that something flies against intuition, you'd better ask some gradeschool kids first. Mine called the author an idiot. (They're 8 and 10.)
Then they probably didn't understand the experiment, or you explained it just poorly enough to get the response you wanted for your Slashdot post to make it look all clever and stuff.
Three: if someone's experiment results in the observation of a well known, well documented, scientifically named phenomenon, (superposition,) it is rude to call it "more." Or "new." Just rude.
This goes beyond "simple" superposition, and is indeed a new phenomenon.

Jan 2015. And I don't see any "fully" about it - these are still to be trials.
I also noticed that dwarves were no longer dwarves, but "normal height" humans shot at weird camera angles.
Exactly the same as in LotR, then - that is, if you count 6'1" John Rhys-Davies as "normal height."
Just a quick word before (too late) everyone starts debating the relative merits of The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson's beard, etc.
Other people are allowed to have opinions that differ from yours and that's fine.
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
