Professor Mike Duff, lead author of the study from the Department of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London, commented, 'This will not be proof that string theory is the right "theory of everything" that is being sought by cosmologists and particle physicists. However, it will be very important to theoreticians because it will demonstrate whether or not string theory works, even if its application is in an unexpected and unrelated area of physics.' In other words, string theory may finally have shed its critics' most common complaint: unfalsifiability. However, given the second most common complaint, I can't help but wonder: which string theory?"<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F03%2F0714255%2FNew-Calculations-May-Lead-To-a-Test-For-String-Theory" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=New+Calculations+May+Lead+To+a+Test+For+String+Theory%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FaLkDsm" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a></p><p><a href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/09/03/0714255/New-Calculations-May-Lead-To-a-Test-For-String-Theory?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=1775696&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d62d566/mf.gif' border='0'/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/8Rt4ny0nKoURGS2K2MXri2Tux_A/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/8Rt4ny0nKoURGS2K2MXri2Tux_A/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/8Rt4ny0nKoURGS2K2MXri2Tux_A/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/8Rt4ny0nKoURGS2K2MXri2Tux_A/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/Z2aTd7p-zoo" height="1" width="1"/>Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:37:29 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d62d566/l/0Lscience0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A30C0A7142550CNew0ECalculations0EMay0ELead0ETo0Ea0ETest0EFor0EString0ETheory0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmtimothymath2010-09-03T09:28:00Zstring-washing-powder-what's-the-differencescience0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d62d566/l/0Lscience0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A30C0A7142550CNew0ECalculations0EMay0ELead0ETo0Ea0ETest0EFor0EString0ETheory0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/AKjpRFgoTI0/story01.htmangry tapir writes "Facebook users will soon have a new way of knocking spammers out of legitimate accounts.

'While in theory Flash video might be a competitive advantage for Android users, in practice it's difficult to imagine anyone actually trying to watch non-optimized web video on an Android handset,' writes Lawler.

It's the living room side where I keep running into problems.

While unusual, this is not unheard of as the paper recalls cells cultivated from hydrothermal vents are known to reproduce at 121 C as well. Of course, caution is exercised when dealing with the possible explanation surrounding the theory of panspermia but the MIT Technology Review says researchers 'examined the way these fluoresce when bombarded with light and say it is remarkably similar to various unexplained emission spectra seen in various parts of the galaxy.

'Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist,' Hawking writes. 'It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.' Hawking had previously appeared to accept the role of God in the creation of the universe. Writing in his bestseller A Brief History Of Time in 1988, Hawking wrote: 'If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason &ndash; for then we should know the mind of God.'"<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F02%2F1235245%2FHawking-Picks-Physics-Over-God-For-Big-Bang" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Hawking+Picks+Physics+Over+God+For+Big+Bang%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FdwFUFC" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a></p><p><a href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/09/02/1235245/Hawking-Picks-Physics-Over-God-For-Big-Bang?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=1774738&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5b51cb/mf.gif' border='0'/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/n1O30aecSvx_XU2bdjwW5sChZ4g/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/n1O30aecSvx_XU2bdjwW5sChZ4g/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/n1O30aecSvx_XU2bdjwW5sChZ4g/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/n1O30aecSvx_XU2bdjwW5sChZ4g/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/Eg8-yfUzqyo" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:42:45 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5b51cb/l/0Lscience0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A20C12352450CHawking0EPicks0EPhysics0EOver0EGod0EFor0EBig0EBang0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmCmdrTacobooks2010-09-02T12:54:00Z956there-is-no-godscience956,948,744,550,105,52,38http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5b51cb/l/0Lscience0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A20C12352450CHawking0EPicks0EPhysics0EOver0EGod0EFor0EBig0EBang0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/5rF_l4KozS8/story01.htmcrimeandpunishment writes "The top man in telecommunications at the United Nations is weighing in on the Blackberry battle ... and he says share the data.

But the worst thing is that when you peel them off, they shred, leaving adhesive crud behind. 'When you've just spent big bucks on a laptop, should you really be obligated to spend the first 20 minutes trying to dissolve away the sticker goop with WD40?' But AMD has a solution. Starting next year, AMD will switch to new stickers that peel off easily, leaving no residue; after that, it's considering eliminating the sticker program altogether."<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmobile.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F02%2F180221%2FAMD-Hates-Laptop-Stickers-As-Much-As-You-Do" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=AMD+Hates+Laptop+Stickers+As+Much+As+You+Do%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F98AIdm" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a></p><p><a href="http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/10/09/02/180221/AMD-Hates-Laptop-Stickers-As-Much-As-You-Do?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=1775080&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5dca67/mf.gif' border='0'/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/S9optSaHYkRH88iPyp_W1arRwH8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/S9optSaHYkRH88iPyp_W1arRwH8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/S9optSaHYkRH88iPyp_W1arRwH8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/S9optSaHYkRH88iPyp_W1arRwH8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/KJgtdYao11g" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:47:32 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5dca67/l/0Lmobile0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A20C180A2210CAMD0EHates0ELaptop0EStickers0EAs0EMuch0EAs0EYou0EDo0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmtimothyadvertising2010-09-02T18:39:00Zboil-the-marketing-folks-in-goomobile0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5dca67/l/0Lmobile0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A20C180A2210CAMD0EHates0ELaptop0EStickers0EAs0EMuch0EAs0EYou0EDo0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/INo5aDnG0DA/story01.htmwiedzmin writes "Public broadcaster ARD's show 'Plusminus' teamed up with the known hacker organization 'Chaos Computer Club' (CCC) to find out how secure the controversial new radio-frequency (RFID) chips were.

An Android phone would be suitable."<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F02%2F1530210%2FOpen-Source-PS3-Jailbreak-Released" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Open+Source+PS3+Jailbreak+Released%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F9gbhxC" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a></p><p><a href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/09/02/1530210/Open-Source-PS3-Jailbreak-Released?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=1774922&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5cfb2d/mf.gif' border='0'/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b5eV-jyWriAjYAaOLotBOr_aHHM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b5eV-jyWriAjYAaOLotBOr_aHHM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b5eV-jyWriAjYAaOLotBOr_aHHM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b5eV-jyWriAjYAaOLotBOr_aHHM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/HYlFVseo7r8" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:16:23 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5cfb2d/l/0Lgames0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A20C1530A210A0COpen0ESource0EPS30EJailbreak0EReleased0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmCmdrTacoplaystation2010-09-02T16:09:00Zout-of-the-baggames0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d5cfb2d/l/0Lgames0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A20C1530A210A0COpen0ESource0EPS30EJailbreak0EReleased0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/xfIkh_BTPTs/story01.htmeldavojohn writes "A Michigan judge removed a juror after a Facebook comment and also fined her $250 and required her to write a five page paper about the constitutional right to a fair trial.

Now, several readers have pointed out that the lawsuit has progressed past its first major hurdle: the EULA. Quoting: "NC Interactive has responded the way most software companies and online services have for more than a decade: it argued that the claims are barred by its end-user license agreement, which in this case capped the company's liability to the amount Smallwood paid in fees over six months prior to his filing his complaint (or thereabouts). One portion of the EULA specifically stated that lawsuits could only be brought in Texas state court in Travis County, where NC Interactive is located. ... But the judge in this case, US District Judge Alan C. Kay, noted that both Texas and Hawaii law bar contract provisions that waive in advance the ability to make gross-negligence claims. He also declined to dismiss Smallwood's claims for negligence, defamation, and negligent infliction of emotional distress."<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F02%2F0447259%2FLineage-II-Addiction-Lawsuit-Makes-It-Past-the-EULA" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Lineage+II+Addiction+Lawsuit+Makes+It+Past+the+EULA%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FaU4cts" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a></p><p><a href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/09/02/0447259/emLineage-IIem-Addiction-Lawsuit-Makes-It-Past-the-EULA?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=1774254&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d580f21/mf.gif' border='0'/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/CK3axA1XYOvdj-7klq8CRQSLBtY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/CK3axA1XYOvdj-7klq8CRQSLBtY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/CK3axA1XYOvdj-7klq8CRQSLBtY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/CK3axA1XYOvdj-7klq8CRQSLBtY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/WjFGvArAW7c" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:10:50 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d580f21/l/0Lgames0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A20C0A4472590CemLineage0EIIem0EAddiction0ELawsuit0EMakes0EIt0EPast0Ethe0EEULA0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmSoulskillcourt2010-09-02T07:29:00Z193four-little-lettersgames193,190,170,128,15,8,5http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d580f21/l/0Lgames0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C10A0C0A90C0A20C0A4472590CemLineage0EIIem0EAddiction0ELawsuit0EMakes0EIt0EPast0Ethe0EEULA0Dfrom0Frss/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/R5dXyjvWGuQ/story01.htmbeschra writes "BBC writes of 'terra-forming' Ascension Island, one of the islands Charles Darwin visited.
