Welcome to Slashdot, where belief outweighs *inconsistencies* in science,

Neutrinos being superluminal would make them arrive *significantly* sooner than we've observed in stellar collapses.

This makes an interesting problem -- is our understanding of stellar collapse incomplete or wrong, or is OPERA's interpretations incomplete or wrong?

That's assuming a simplistic model of a fault as storing energy. And that also assumes that the energy, in this assumed model, is significant to decrease the overall fault. I'm not sure of the former and extremely skeptical of the latter, particularly because I was under the impression that each scale up is many times more powerful than the former. So a small earthquake might really do jack shit for a large one, except perhaps to loosen or tighten the segments for an enormous quake...

Yes... By making reconstituted (ie fake) proteins into patties!

One way or another, this fake meat is getting in the food supply.

The only reason why universities are so damn expensive is because shitwits like you shriek about "How overpaid the professors are" and "how much money goes to universities" when federal and state funding is at an all time minimum.

Because of that, universities seek corporate and alternative funding sources. But idiots like you are far too wrapped up in your masturbatory crusade of "It's too expensive!" to notice things ARE expensive because they're FORCED to find OUTSIDE funding. The kind of funding that comes wrapped with heavy baggage, corruption and cronyism -- hey! It's the best system that money can buy...

And now, because out of state students are a financial gold mine, the UC system is focusing on admitting more. Why? Because the entire university system is strapped for cash, raised fees and still found itself strapped for cash. So it did the next reasonable thing -- beg for more cash, give up when the begging failed, and instead change the ENTIRE point (California universities are no longer for Californians) of the system. All to survive.

You go first, asshole.

Summed up as, "There is no such thing as a free lunch."

Because greedy bastards like you keep on cutting education, research and development in favor of your fucking military-industrial complex. But, go ahead. Call it "Sky is Falling" event. Never mind that, economically-wise, disparity-wise, the sky IS falling. Just for people who haven't got a million dollars to spare.

Hmm, let's change around whom and what the object is, but preserve the rest...

I have seen another distinct entry for your list of reactions. Koreans apparently love the smell. As a non-Kimchi-eater who grew up in Korea, it's pretty funny to see people who can't get enough of that vile aroma. Gross!

Put another way, your point?

I'm a pragmatist with a distaste for the mindless platitudes offered by many conservative talking heads, but for once, this is a solution that is better than fire! Defund the damn TSA!

Agreed. To further expound upon parent's point, unless you really know your performance needs and requirements, where the initial extra cost of Intel chips is lower than the revenue that is gained with that extra couple percent of performance, then go Intel. Otherwise, it's usually a cost versus preference piss fest. And last I checked in a down economy, cost is king.

That's because, like the Tea Partiers, OWS are "angry". Unfortunately, due to their increasingly well known suspicion of authority (sending the cops to beat them kinda does that), they are less likely to accept someone or some group focusing them on the corporations. What is more likely is that said group will take it over and bastardize it into a caricature of itself, leading to the moderate OWS that suddenly focuses on women's wombs or something. Hate always sells. And it's easier to hate those groups than the ones in power who might give you another crumb. After all, that one more crumb might make a difference in your survival, which conveniently sets one against the very groups and social networks that would change that. Economics is power. And the 1% know that very, very well.

That's what he gets for being the One. :P

Python ignores '#' symbols, so you can use them or write #{ and #} to denote such. ;)

Perhaps it's because the regulators were bought off by the same guys they were suppose to police?

Honestly, I'll never under you anti-regulation wingnuts. What you spout is analogous to doing away with the police because various departments are corrupt. The solution is to scour out conflict of interest and corruption, NOT let the crooks run free.

But, you know, that would imply /hard work/ and not simple talking points.

Mr. Open Leaks was trusted and early Wikileaks still (and probably does) depended on some form of personal trust at the higher levels. That being said, incompetence paired with a malicious actor happens. I propose we crucify Mr. Open Leaks for his kind gift to us all.
