Plastic Legacy: Humankind's Trash Is Now a New Rock

QuoteMelted plastic trash on beaches can sometimes mix with sediment, basaltic lava fragments and organic debris (such as shells) to produce a new type of rock material, new research shows.

The new material, dubbed plastiglomerate, will forever remain in Earth's rock record, and in the future may serve as a geological marker for humankind's impact on the planet, researchers say.

The man. The myth. The legend.

so 1,000 years from people will be digging in the plastic at the jersey shore.

and SD will still be denying that man plays any part in the planet's enviroment in the future.

'Super computer' first to pass Turing Test, convince judges it's alive

QuoteThe test was devised in 1950 by computer science pioneer and World War II code breaker Alan Turing, who said that if a machine was indistinguishable from a human, then it was "thinking".

No computer had ever previously passed the Turing Test, which requires 30 per cent of human interrogators to be duped during a series of five-minute keyboard conversations, organisers from the University of Reading said.

But "Eugene Goostman", a computer program developed to simulate a 13-year-old boy, managed to convince 33 per cent of the judges that it was human, the university said.

The program now has a full time job working for the FBI as a pedophile honeypot.

The man. The myth. The legend.

If there's some huge sea monster out there that the scientists haven't found yet, they better get kraken.

CEO Elon Musk opens up Tesla's patents to all

QuoteTesla Motors CEO Elon Musk announced Thursday that the company is taking the unusual step of going to an "open source" approach, suspending enforcement of its patents to encourage development of advanced electric cars.

Tesla, considered a leader in development of long-range electric cars, battery packs and the electronics and software that power them, has about 200 patents. None are being held back, Musk says.

"Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology," he wrote in a blog post.
