You offer nothing but insult.

NPR this morning reported that roughly a half of all US athletes will boycott the opening ceremonies at Beijing. What will you boycott, iNow?

Gautama Buddha was a person who attained enlightenment.

Too damn bad, dude. Paranoia, none of you is my responsibility.

When I quoted 'Chinese people', I was thinking of those in San Francisco, Chinese-Americans, who engaged in blessedly vocal argument with the Tibetan exiles and supporters. Also, of the expression of a BBC reporter on NPR about the media inside China and 'general' response. I doubt this includes any of the more the one million people displaced for building the Olympic complex; or any of those displaced in the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. I don't think we are going to hear from these people. iNow. tell it to a Tibetan. Pangloss, Every time you open your mouth, your brains are on parade!

The Olympic torch parade was invented in 1936.

The Chinese government media are playing up the nationalist sentiment and I find it disgusting. You may not talk out of both sides of your mouth, saying 'the government is not us people', trying to disavow repression in Tibet, and then, 'the Olympics are so important to our national ego'. I will not support your childish ego.

Obviously?

Today in San Francisco they ran the flame out of town.

BOYCOTT CHINA OLYMPICS. Mod Note: This is a new Tibet discussion thread. I pulled the most relevent posts from the previous thread, which will be removed. Post away.

Yes, there are many cultural skills to be appreciated and learned...

Sexuality is a set of biochemical processes. Love is what we make of this.

Energy changes form. So do we.

My best local brewery offers a 6-pack of DOUBLE EAGLE IMPERIAL STOUT At 7.9% alcohol, at the same number of DOLLARS.

The analysis I have of a linearized approach to metric solutions is couched in the language of Cartesian coordinates and I am not yet clear on how to use it here. This will be interesting to learn, but my goal involves using the full solution because I wish to investigate strong angular momentum fields of low mass. Just doing this Lense-Thirring form where we put in a [math]g_{03}[/math] term generates six new Christoffel symbols, where there were (only) nine needed in the Schwarzschild solution. Also one of the Christoffels already present has an added term. So after chasing many snakes, I am left with not even a clear Laplacian expression but I don't care! Knowing that I need to come out with inverse radius for the r-dependence, what I get is: [math] g'' - \frac 2 {r^2} g = 0[/math] and I am not going to complain.

Yah, the watchword here is simple. I just recircuited my wallwart and will let the glue dry. With the 75 ohms in the charging line, and 1.6kilohms shunting the diode, should be close. I looked up spec on a 555 timer chip and it sources/sinks 200 ma, plenty with no output stages needed, nice. . . . . . .OK there is a cool trick question here. I measure the charging current by reading the voltage on the 100 ohm ballast resistor (now, not 75). However, this current is flowing only half the time, and the meter reads average DCV, right? So to drive the 65 ma I want, half the time, what should be the average DC volts across the ballast??? I was about to drive twice what I wanted. It will be interesting to see if I can recondition this pair of AA cells. Tune in tomorrow, folks!!

Cute. I've got some old 555 timer circuits and maybe SCR's. By cutting out fully a half cycle we double the total charge time, but I really don't care. If I do I'll try a timer circuit later.

Ah, nice and simple, thanks. The discharge was a smaller percent of time in one of the articles, I'll look back, but your plan is handy to be sure. I am inspired to hacksaw an old wall-wart.

Now after five good recharges with a straight-on 65 maDC, my AA cells do not work the camera. Hey YT is pulse reversal necessarily at typically 60 H, or could I somehow do a longer cycle like a handful of reversals during the 24 hours of charging?

You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away, and when to run...

If the attitude behind your education sucks, face this conflict and express it. You are hopefully free to move on with your money.

I am not convinced by intoning, timelike intervals are here spacelike, and spacelike intervals are timelike so that we can carry on with physics as usual locally, in a an interior. We are not in Kansas and should know this from the extreme light show we got "coming in". I am suggesting a basic phase change in the nature of space, as being a useful interpretation from the outside at least. Al dente. When I talk of 'spaghetti sticks' above I refer to the allowed radial, in and out WRT the center, modes. They are not square-root, but first-power.

I wrote the transverse speed of light (in external coordinates) is [math]c_{trans} =c\sqrt{1-2m/r} [/math]. Outside the radius 2m the argument of the root is positive but heading toward zero smoothly. Below zero, the argument is negative and so the root is imaginary with small, increasing magnitude going inward. I can view the wave picture by writing a transverse sort of light propagation as: [math] e^{i\omega(\frac x c -t)}[/math] where x refers to the direction we are considering. Now consider the entry for c to be the reduced [math]c_{trans}[/math]. In the denominator this makes a larger and larger term multiplying x like a higher k, shorter waves. When it is imaginary, this effective length becomes the absorption characteristic in exponential falloff, sideways. We're talking thinnest vermicelli sticks just inside, then straight spaghetti for a ways. Somewhere on down, we get back to rotini.

Electrons have a spherically symmetric electric field but they are not little balls.

It's not like they start with a single egg. We need a research search.
