No, it was atm's.

Alleged black holes have been directly observed, so it's probably more likely they exist than not. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/leicestershire/3787671.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3501313.stm

The Uchinoura Space Center in Kagoshima, Japan has launched the world's first solar sail in to orbit. Previously only seen in science fiction, solar sails represent a fuel-free method of constant acceleration. They are the first potential extrasolar transport technology mankind has managed to fully realise. http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/e/snews/2004/0809.shtml

This article is somewhat relevant. It points out that our own radio signal is fading, having lasted about a hundred years, due to the increase in microwave and cable communications which are less "leaky".

By "they" I assume you mean that particular group of researchers.

Well whatever - it's the RW media that's important.

It's something to do with the RW media itself. PC drives recognise it, most CD players don't. Or something.

The BB code help page is dynamically generated, so "it would be tricky" is a slight understatement :-/

Severian is still in the "awaiting confirmation" user group.

Oh yeah - few cd players will be able to play music burned to a RW, even if it is in audio format.

Does that include the Islamic/Muslim citizens of Western countries?

In "I, Robot" Asimov was exploring the conflict between man and machine, race issues, and the the possible ways that human and artificial intelligence would interact. I would not characterise it as "unscientific".

Depends on the device.

"The culture of a Muslim country" is not equal to "Muslim culture".

You can flash pretty much any device that uses firmware.

mp3s should be burned as data. I'm thinking that if you burn CDA as data or mp3 as audio they may not work unless it's a very smart device.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but all mods have access to the User Options page. Unless by "email" you actually mean "PM". You're confusing me.

PM sent as requested Severian. Let me know if it's correct or not.

Without the three laws and the ways they can be implemented there would be no story.

Does the lead in/lead out data differ between CDA and mp3?

Yes, but my point was that if this were the case then the device in question probably doesn't.

Stop trolling.

No, I understood your point, I just can't think of any such leak-free scenario. Can you give a real-world example?

He didn't say that, he said that was the only appropriate use.

So in other words, "A particle in a parabolic potential well will not oscillate backwards and forwards forever, unless it's an imaginary scenario in which it does."
