I love this "story" it's a top of the heap WTF, destined to become an "I told you so" link to www.snopes.com

If you haven't seen it, here's a PDF of what one will look like, inside and out. (linked from the above article)
http://preview.tinyurl.com/qda7omq (1,125 KB) of course it's shown cruising proudly on top of the water.

Thank you for that, thought it might be a waste of time.

I didn't get past reading "Being one of the first cyborgs in the world" then a quick scan of the text scrolling down;
figured it wasn't going to be that great of an article and heck I got what I needed from the submitter (right, wrong, or almost {grin}).

Thank you for that as I did see it as their interpretation of the experiment giving them the results they were looking for.

While I see the large lines just fine and lots of quantum physics principles I'm unaware of; entanglement being passed on to
another unrelated event seems a retraction is but a verifying experiment away.

As mentioned it's been glued or a metal substructure. At 23 tons it's no easy piece
to move; displaying it will always be an effort and great expense. I see it being
very easy to break (not being involved in it's construction) as it has a large
unsupported extension.

Not wishing to offend those who enjoyed building it I'm sure, but what's to become of it.
Only place it could go would be to a Lego museum and LO I find there's one in the planning
http://www.salon.com/2013/03/24/danish_architecture_firm_tapped_to_design_worlds_first_lego_museum_partner/

I see it as something they wanted to prove and did to themselves and anybody else who wants to believe their results or just their word.

Entanglement is related to particles from the same event. 1&2 are entangled as are 3&4.
1&4 were considered entangled by their use of "projective measurement" on 2&3

"projective measurement" = Although quantum mechanics has held up to rigorous and thorough experimental testing,
many of these experiments are open to different interpretations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretation_of_quantum_mechanics
linked from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POVM defining "projective measurement" (first paragraph).

So they have their interpretation, I have mine (didn't happen), and we're all happy.

About me: A two years of chemistry ex-student who does a lot of reading on quantum physics. Yet nobody to talk on the subject, so more reading.
Not trying to solicit anybody just saying nobody I know, knows much on the subject to bounce thoughts off of.

Changing a few words in the article: Penguins > Whales, air > land, flight > walk and it works.

The bottom line being: "enabling them to grow larger, helping them dive deeper, swim faster, and stay underwater longer, Ricklefs says.
And that meant they nabbed more and bigger prey."

My thoughts as well, FTA "By throwing a spear, instead of thrusting it,"
I would think after the prey moved out of thrusting range to toss or throw would be the next step (impulse).

There's talk of removing a few Dams and with them the cheap power.

The Washington state Indians have a treaty to fish salmon they way they used to (with nets)
that they then sale to make a living. The salmon are in decline which is blamed in part to the Dams. All of
the Dams have fish ladders that help the Salmon migrate but they are asking for the lower (last) four Snake river Dams to be removed.
http://www.americanrivers.org/initiatives/dams/projects/snake-dam-removal-economics.html

It's much more than just the Indians, but they seem to be the loudest.

From the link:
"Before the dams are removed, there must be a plan in place to: ...Replace the dams' energy in an affordable and carbon neutral manner..."

I don't see how that can be accomplished unless wind power can be considered carbon neutral.

Sad that Galileo's antenna didn't open. Headed towards Jupiter it was in a position to film the comet pieces as they hit

Now that would of been very cool to of seen.

Think we've been seeing this from Russian dash cams. But those who gave us the numbers also claim Jupiter's gravity
protects Earth to a great extent.

Nope not alone; I use Google as my primary search engine, Gmail as my e-mail provider, Google Maps and Google Earth.

Hotmail used to be my web based e-mailer yet I can't access it for some reason. My HotMail account is active and I
still use it, as I had forwarded my Hotmail to Gmail. Hotmail charged for POP'ing my e-mail, Gmail lets me do it for free,
so I never have to open a browser.

Checking to see if anything had changed I tried hotmail again, and got in, first time in years!
This reply has actually been a very beneficial for me, now to weed out the junk that's collected.

I thought no way, I had to see for myself. The zipped file crescent-1bir-src.zip is 8K, the three file files
the zip contains add up to 25K so 1/3 it's original size. Your thinking of graphics files.

If a file is already compressed (ie: graphics, zip) they can't get any smaller, another compression program
will only increase it's size. Source code is text only and very compressible; all of your modem compression
schemes to increase speeds are based on text only.

The JSTOR files Aaron Swartz uploaded were 36 Gigs, uncompressed it was huge > 100 gig, as they were mostly in the text format.

There are graphic formats that aren't compressed like .BMP files that will zip down to almost half it's size.
You find graphics compressed with zip, arc, zoo what have you are to create a single file (while increasing it's size).
To use a compression scheme on the hard drive you store your pr0n collection on, now that is counterproductive.

Yep, just scan everybody's brain, then jail those who fit the pattern, or are the carrier of one particular set of genes.

Crime prevention at it's best.

There was an article on /. "Schizophrenia Experiences and Suggestions?",
I bookmarked the link as it's such a good read, the experiences of those with, had, or knew others with Schizophrenia.

"Wow, who would have thought I'd see this on slashdot? It makes little sense to post this question here, but yet, it was posted. And I am reading it. Which is ... interesting, since my brother too was diagnosed with schizophrenia, a little over two years ago now. This thread shouts out to me to say something about it, but I find now that it is harder than it seems...." then continues a story of his twin brother.

I can't paste all the post yet few venture to another link, I can say you will have a different outlook on Schizophrenia.

One of the threads does address the DSM so on topic :}

Never felt knowledgeable enough to post, still don't just said the heck with it :}

I've seen a phone "hacked". Person was in the hospital and concern for some reason that their phone

2480 the universal password :} A pattern pass with 10 attempts is a good scheme, if you don't start at the top left.
