Re: Jesus F. Christ EL REG FAIL
Yeah, I fart in your general direction, downvoter! Are you some kind of liberal? A kumbaya-singing peter puffer? Do you not only believe that man's mind and the laws of nature can be bent to your irrelevant puny laws, regulations, Glass-Steagal acts and other retarded mental contortions, but will you not even stop at science and scientific definitions until the only legally allowed thesaurus conforms to your own personal idea of Goodthink and Correctspeak? I'm sure your postmodernism makes you hope that all which you consider ungood can be banned and be disappeared with just a bit of rewriting. HAH!
"Despite taking only a month the investigation racked up costs of more than $26,000"
What? If I'm on a project for a two weeks, it will cost upwards of 40'000 (even though I don't see a large part of that money). And I am not even of the legal profession. Sure there aren't a few zeroes missing?

Excessive churning tests the boundary between El Reg and Science! Film at 11.
It's rather perplexing how quantum mechanics would come into this.
On whould think this were a test of GR vs other theories of gravity, like MOND or TeVeS, as described in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternatives_to_general_relativity
One would not expect QM to come into this, like, at all. So, one starts off with space.com:
http://www.space.com/20826-einstein-gravity-theory-toughest-test.html
which gets it right. Then one passes over to livescience, which refers to the above:
http://www.livescience.com/29062-einstein-relativity-tested-again.html
... but the churner adds in QM for no good reason, probably because he doesn't quite grasp what's up.
El Reg doesn't link to livescience but I guess just saw the above, then threw in the wrongly used "collapsar" and from there wanders off to Haldeman and manfrommars territory.
So what's important about this? This is:
"Our results indicate that the filtering techniques planned for these advanced instruments (of gravitational wave detection) remain valid," said Ryan Lynch, a physicist at McGill University in Montreal.

Chairman Greencloud feels there is some cirrus at the frayed edges
Clearly, the government has to provide a Central Cloud (nominally independent and possibly labeled as "private"), so in case your preferred Cloud Provider goes bust, bail-cloud power and quantitative clouding can be quickly provided at the push of a button by the Ministry of Cloud so that Your Preferred Cloud can be reinflated at reasonable cost to the taxpayer.
Re: Inconsistencies with quantum mechanics.
No.
It's because they are two views on the same thing which we don't know what it is.
And GR is difficult to test in the laboratory setting.

A "collapsar" is not a neutron star. Indeed it is a historical name for a black hole. It's one of those historically old-fashioned words. Collapsar because "it collapses in....forever"
Re: It is sad the USA is doing this
"This is one of the practices that is hollowing out the middle class in America and also goes along with our loss of manufacturing job."
Absolutely not.
The economy does not all have the same behaviourial logic as a set of front-to-back evaluated IF-THEN rules.
The fact that you are even able to write this using a dirt-cheap ADSL is proof enough that cheap manufacturing and international trade is a Good Thing.
What is actually "hollowing out" stuff is the agressive government sector: money printing to the benefit of the 1% (euphemistically called "necessary bailouts" by the smug operators or "recovery efforts" by useful idiots), immense amounst of debt, foobared interest rates with no relationship to market valuation (inciting people to malinvest), and revectoring of savings and production capacity via taxes and inflation to non-productive uses: wars, wall street casinos, greenfagging, homeland security and an immense army of bureaucrats.
It's a bad sign when you cannot be productively employed but if there is always a job top be had at the nearest recruiting office. It has nothing to do with evil capitalists.
Further rather to-the-point reading in The Great Deformation, now at hollowing-out bookstores.

Re: In other news...
Well, dicha know that there are still studies that are being pumped out that have to demonstrate that Hoover and in particular FDR actually are the main causes of the Great Depression, and FDR is no way an enlightened economic fixer? Known in the 30s and obvious to the meanest intelligence, but apparently it still is unclear to the column writes of the NYT and the Indy.
People just can't into the most basic economics.

Is that 1 GBP at "western" price levels or 1 GBP in the boondocks of Somalia?
Re: Goldmember
Clearly a penetrating riddle..
In a world in which printing money is seen as a fix for economic problems, "deficits don't matter" and "we owe it to ourselves" while trillion dollar bailouts make sure the deep wallets of the Well-Connected-Ones stay topped up with minimal effort at the cost of the taxpayer and their children, who is astonished about such little smalltime retardation?

More mess with dark matter detection
However, the precise significance is not the most important issue here; in the end, we sometimes shrug off 9 sigma signals. To the right, what looks like Pollock's painting is in fact a summary of best-fit signal regions and limits from various underground experiments in the dark matter mass vs. cross section parameter space. The most worrying aspect of the CDMS result is that the signal region seems comfortably excluded by the limits from Xenon-10 and Xenon-100 experiments (the green lines in the plot). To reconcile these results one must either assume a serious systematic issue with the xenon analyses, or consider more exotic dark matter models, for example the xenophobic ones where the effective coupling to xenon nuclei is suppressed. On the other hand, the region of the parameter space preferred by CDMS is consistent with the earlier detection claim by the germanium target detector CoGeNT.
So, dark matter, a fluke, or a fundon? Unfortunately, the past experience with direct detection experiments suggests that we will not learn the definitive answer anytime soon.

Only in the world of state-worshipping abasement
"low prices achieved through legal but immoral financial shenanigans – could become a public-relations burden"
Financial "shenanigans" are NEVER immoral.
The only immoral things are taxes, i.e. confiscation of goods under imaginary contracts that no-one can state or find, arbitrarily decided, and always on the way up to pay for what? We don't know.

Re: missing a big anomaly
Unfortunately uranium is not likely to be a fungible commodity and so is unlikely to become "money", like gold.
> so we can then store it back underground in vaults.
You now realize that there is value in having a commodity that takes the role of money and that cannot be debased by a ministerial stroke of genius whenever Klown Krugman writes another shitty column in the NYT.

Re: If we can detect these planets...
No, it's a whole other level of difficulty.
Military radar would be most detectable, I reckon. But even the power output of that kind of artifact is puny. AFAIK you would need a few thousand of square kilometers of collecting area to get any signal whatsover. This also means you would need to point it very precisely at the Sun.
New claim! Fresh! Washes whiter!
Yeah... These days, keeping a lawya on retainer is as important as keeping a sysop on retainer.
