They should post that image from the old Goatse.cx site. That would be sweet. Well, perhaps horrifying but slashdotters could start linking to it again in 30% of the posts, just like in the old days....
Comment Great idea! All hail the V8! (Score 1) 825
This is a brilliant idea in these days of economic crisis. Also, a big screw off to the insurance companies that lobbied for these ridiculously low speeds. Why if God had wanted us to go this slow he never would of allowed us to create the 300 HP V8. Or bigger engines.
Fine-Structure Constant Maybe Not So Constant 105
Kilrah_il writes "The fine-structure constant, a coupling constant characterizing the strength of the electromagnetic interaction, has been measured lately by scientists from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia and has been found to change slightly in light sent from quasars in galaxies as far back as 12 billion years ago. Although the results look promising, caution is advised: 'This would be sensational if it were real, but I'm still not completely convinced that it's not simply systematic errors' in the data, comments cosmologist Max Tegmark of MIT. Craig Hogan of the University of Chicago and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., acknowledges that 'it's a competent team and a thorough analysis.' But because the work has such profound implications for physics and requires such a high level of precision measurements, 'it needs more proof before we'll believe it.'"

The basis for his book The Stand will come out of someone's garage and not a military lab. Unfortunately, people like these probably won't have good documentation for the Hazmat team to use after the "incident". The good side is that the opportunities to get rid of surplus population has risen. There are an awful lot of people on this planet.
