  1. According to this CNN article, Microsoft will release Web/server software for the Linux platform. Excuse me while I have a heart attack.
  2. Very cool. They forgot alot tho :/
  3. The military has been working on this for a while. I suspect they're pretty close to perfecting it by now.
  4. To read the comments.
  5. i dunno, i don't even know if the data is sent to the server, i just caught the bastard reading my cache constantly. because windows always gets these stop errors that instantly reset the computer, corrupting files, especially ones in the cache.
  6. AOL Instant Messenger (4.8.2790, probably other versions as well) reads files in the Internet Explorer cache that are not related to content used within the program. This can be verified by Windows error messages when files become corrupted and AIM attempts to read them.
  7. http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/TidalTorque.html
  8. Heat produced depends entirely on the amount of motion; for example, sitting produces 116W of heat energy, and sprinting 1630W.
  9. Moved to Pseudoscience http://science.slashdot.org/science/02/12/07/1738243.shtml?tid=133
  10. Moved.
  11. So because it's mostly carbon and shaped like a hexagon, it's fullerene?
  12. I don't see how that resembles a laser.
  13. A C60 fullerene has 20 hexagons; but also 12 pentagons, and the observation doesn't mention these; but the biggest problem I see is it's diameter; we simply couldn't see things 7 angstroms in diameter 1856. If we could, and above 260 kelvin, the spin would make it appear spherical.
  14. The airlines have decided to detain and search old ladies in wheel chairs when they set off the alarm, also little children. Now the latest group of people who are potentital terrorists in the eye of the law are people with cancer. New radiation detectors in NYC subways are triggered by people receiving chemotherapy, who are then detained and strip searched by police. The person in the article, for those without access, had received 20 milliCuries of iodine-131. Once again, good job. The story appears in this weeks Journal of the American Medical Association: http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v288n21/ffull/jlt1204-3.html
  15. If she's right, admit it. If not, keep on arguing until she realizes she's wrong.

    Some news

    Since no one has bothered posting news in weeks, here's some highlights from current news: Pi was calculated to 1.2411 trillion digits This week's Nature has published the complete mouse genome IBM, Intel, and HP plan to build a nationwide wireless ISP Some researchers came up with the idea the valleys on Mars came from melting meteors, that all just happened to hit Mars and not Earth, the Earth's moon, Mars' moons, etc. Canada actually did something right and wouldn't let a commercial corporation take out a patent on the mouse that is genetically programmed to really prone to cancer. It's patented in the US and EU. NASA has put up Landsat images that make up a collection called Earth as Art Some Aussie did a massive research project on which knot is best for tying shoes. Great job! The Brits covered up a really credible UFO sighting. And these are just a small fraction of what everyone here should have been motivated to do full stories on

    2000lb bombs

    Perhaps it relates to force of impact; much greater with concrete.
  18. But there's a different between the momentums. You talking about quantum mechanics equations to find the momentum, it would be like comparing quantum gravity to classical gravity. Doesn't work.
  19. Melt completely, put it in a centrifuge. This will seperate all the elements. Then you'll know the proportions. But it seems like whoever assigned the problem is going for a more complicated route
  20. Bump. New user titles. BTW, no one was able to figure out the first levels of the old ladder came from a game called CyberStrike, a game in which I was the biggest celebrity for bringing the company to its knees and hacking up a storm in the game

    Websites

    Best way is to see if they provide references. Any college student can put anything they want on their .edu site, and .org companies might have their own agenda skewing facts, i.e. greenpeace.org. .gov sites are the most reliable. Any teacher that doesn't accept .com sources should be punched hard in the face. nature.com, britannica.com, newscientist.com, etc. And if you need drug information, erowid.org is by far the best source for information. "Don't judge a book by its cover." And if you have any doubt about the credibility of a sites content, find more sites that say the same thing. Finding credible sites: Start with your well established sites, and go through their links. If you're forced into using a general search engine, Google will return the best results. If possible, search using technical terms. For example, searching for "heroin" will obviously yield alot of crap, but searching for diacetylmorphine instead will yield alot of credible sites.
  22. someone doesn't know how to compress things right
  23. sweet
  24. What's with you and exuding ignorance lately?
  25. anyone who thinks we didn't land there is a flaming imbecile.
