Um. Wow. That is all.
Actually, no, in Unicode 7.0 there's even more.

If by "that" you mean "a fecal sample", the Unicode encoding is U+1F4A9.
And then there's Barbie explains finite state machines, from the old Forum 2000.
It is written in US constitution that any verbal or otherwise threat against a US president is a federal criminal offense in the form a felony.
Minor point: the Wikipedia article you cite says it's in title 18, section 871 of the United States Code, not the constitution.
No. Sweden has decent oil exports considering their population. It's not like all the oil in that area is only on the west coast, and the central and east is barren.
"Decent oil exports" doesn't necessarily mean "a gigantic amount of crude petroleum wealth". As far as I know, Sweden isn't a petro-state; the CIA World Factbook entry for Norway says that the petroleum sector "accounts for the largest portion of export revenue and about 30% of government revenue", whereas the entry for Sweden says that "the engineering sector accounts for about 50% of output and exports".
I just want to vomit. Seriously, it's a nation with a tiny population and a gigantic amount of crude petroleum wealth.
Did you just confuse Norway with Sweden, or are you just trolling?
NTOSKRNL and Base Drivers are all C and ASM bits my friend.
...as I suspected they were.
So "Microsoft Windows uses C++", if it's talking about kernel development (as suggested by the title of the thread), is mostly wrong, with...
Only WIN32K (Win32 Kernel Mode Graphichs and helper functions core) contains some C++ bits, specially DirectX DXGI/D3D functions.
...one exception.
OS X uses C for kernel development, except for I/O Kit and I/O Kit drivers, which use C++, but restricted to a subset that excludes exceptions, multiple inheritance, templates, and run-time type inference. (Well, some stuff outside of there that needs to use I/O Kit APIs might use C++; the AFP and/or SMB client VFSes - I forget which - had, at one point, a small C++ chunk of code to allow the file system to prevent sleep to keep TCP connections to the server from being dropped. The rest was C - not surprising for the SMB client VFS, descended as it was from Boris Popov's SMB client VFS for FreeBSD.)
Microsoft Windows uses C++ -- albeit with the CRT (C Run Time) library separated.
The source to ntoskrnl.exe, and the *.sys files it loads, is primarily C++, not C?
Now the entire comment section for this article will essentially be a huge subthread for that guy's inflamatory comments.

I'd expect most people to interpret "eugenics" as the Greek stems for "good" and "genes", because that's where the word comes from. A fairly obscure nazzy doktor with a similar name isn't what tainted the word.
I'd expect most people neither to associate it with the Greek stems in question nor with Eugen Fischer; I'd expect them to have no clue where the word came from.
I'd be cool with it if it were Ed Harris
If you're referring to Pollock, hee came across in the movie as being manic-depressive, not schizophrenic.
When people read the summary of this story, I'm sure a lot will be like "blah blah blah blah MAGNETS GOOD FOR HEALTH AND CURE EBOLA blah blah blah.
Just as the PhD Comics comic referred to in another posting says.

Too bad SlashDot isn't a science web site...
Neither is the International Business Times, whence this article refers.
The web site for Nature magazine, however, is a science web site, and there's a much better story there on the same topic.
I know how that one turns out. Making such a basic mistake make me doubt the other claims being made.
Yes, I'd be inclined to pay attention to only the claims in the Nature news article on the same topic.
I call bullshit on this. Not a credible source, and whoever submitted the article bungled the science...
A better source is the article in Nature .
