Not many people know it, but the apex of the Washington Monument is made of aluminum. At the time, it was the largest piece ever crafted anywhere in the world and it was a precious metal. Only two years later, aluminum became completely worthless when the Hallâ"Héroult process for mass production of pure aluminum was discovered.

Eat shit, faggoot.

Google "reciprocal altruism" or "Price Equation". Or get a basic education in evolutionary theory before you dismiss it offhand.

64-bit Flash ~is~ better than 32-bit because it's also the only build that's optimized to use the GPU rather than the CPU as part of the "Square" pre-release. But don't let your ignorance prevent you from commenting. Fucknugget.

You're a fucking idiot.

The link provided in the summary is to http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cookie_setting_error.html. Are you shitting me? I mean, come on. Don't "editors" actually bother to click on the links?

The link to the abstract of the article is here: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123506601/abstract

It reads:

Growing a good egg: Metadynamics simulations show that the eggshell protein ovocleidin-17 induces the formation of calcite crystals from amorphous calcium carbonate nanoparticles. Multiple spontaneous crystallization and amorphization events were simulated; these simulations suggest a catalytic cycle that explains the role of ovocleidin-17 in the first stages of eggshell formation (the picture shows one intermediate of this cycle).

And for what it's worth, this article is completely irrelevant to the question at hand, and the egg came well, well before the chicken.

This is the same thing I said yesterday: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1654076&cid=32232668

"That'll give my child that much bigger of an advantage in about 15 years when she's applying for jobs."

Not if she's an American child, it won't. Texas is far and away the largest orderer of textbooks in America, so textbook makers cater to their standards. If Texas doesn't want it in the textbooks, it will largely be cut out of textbooks nationwide.

Oh, thank goodness. They found a method of containing the leak that actually allows them to continue collecting the oil.

I was very worried that all the precious oil might just go to waste.

From the Vancouver Sun: "[Park spokesman Mike Keizer] suspects the beavers have been working on it for some time, in part because it is overgrown with vegetation and progressive satellite images from as far back as the 1970s show it expanding year after year."

"greengrocer's apostrophe" -> "greengrocers' apostrophe" Fixed that for you, moron.
