Okay, let's say that every single other star in the universe vanishes suddenly. People on earth would not notice for years. Light would still be coming from those stars, because it was currently in transit when the star vanished. We could not even tell for years, because most scientists believe gravity also travels at the speed of light (at least according to The Elegant Universe. But because these stars are so far away, the difference in gravity (when we do notice it) would be minimal. Their gravitational fields at a distance of so many million miles would be infinitesimal. What other influences can they have? Well, light. You'll have to remember that these stars are far enough away that the light from them must have a tiny effect on Earth. They look dim enough in the first place; it would be like trying to measure the effect of a flashlight shined from the space shuttle. There simply would be no difference. Animals really don't care about the stars. The only difference would be those that use stars to navigate.

I think the Java-based one was taken off. Try downloading a real client to use the IRC.

The sun has a direct physical impact on the earth's seasons. That's obvious. But other stars hardly do anything for our seasons at all. The amount of light we get from them does not do much for earth, nor does anything else. They just exist. You can't say "just because he likes me, that means everybody must," just as you can't say "just because the sun affects us, the stars must too."

Astrological seasons are definitely different than regular seasons. Try to remember that.

I meant BBCode.

You can get really cheap hosting at http://exocrew.com They've been very good for me.

Do images work? For some reason Norton blocks the Mozilla product page for Mozilla 1.x. Your site got around it, but it also didn't display images. Will there be any way to get images?

Last time I tried, the code tag didn't preserve spacing. It got me really annoyed too.

Walk into a class and cough. In a minute, everyone will. That's because they're intentionally doing it to irritate the teacher. It is quite possibly psychological.

Curveball--now there's one game I can actually play.

Ahahaha. I seem to be the worst player in the arcade. Except in really new games that nobody has played yet.

Wheeee!!! Those of you with high scores need something better to do.

"Oh, don't worry, we won't make you do any of those on the test." Then, a few days later, on the test, they made us do three.

A few people have received that treatment, such as Pinch Paxton. (Zarkov Univ. Alumnus). But doing that for everybody would take too much time. If they just did it for the special people, trolls, etc. then it would be fine.

http://physicsunifiedtheory.com/ Tell me what you think. It's rather... erm... interesting. Try the Q&A link at the bottom.

Around $180 for one.

Why do we care about what he has on his iPod? Can't he have his own life?

Sorry. The article I read (I wrote that link myself) had no real details. Off to Google I go. Of course, there are plenty of other comparisons of homeopathy vs. placebo, and those come up against homeopathy.

y2 That's using [ sup] tags (without the space). Or y² alt 178

Try using subforums! That would look rather nice if you could put some together and use subforums.

Sort of. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Cap%27n_Refsmmat/ScienceNews

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Cap%27n_Refsmmat/ScienceNews#Homeopathy_might_actually_work--April_8th.2C_2005 Just pointing it out. How about a Roomba? Those things aren't very good. They clean, but they can't do as good a job as any vacuum, and they're super-expensive.

LIDAR wouldn't be suited for that. It says that LIDAR can detect clouds and such... meaning it can't shine though them to detect a plane behind them.

The arrows mean you've replied to them, I believe.

Same here too, I think. Except it's about 50 feet, not yards.
