  1. 15-inch MacBook Pro * 15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display with support for millions of colors * Supported resolutions: 1440 by 900 (native), 1280 by 800, 1152 by 720, 1024 by 640, and 800 by 500 pixels at 16:10 aspect ratio; 1024 by 768, 800 by 600, and 640 by 480 pixels at 4:3 aspect ratio; 1024 by 768, 800 by 600, and 640 by 480 pixels at 4:3 aspect ratio stretched; 720 by 480 pixels at 3:2 aspect ratio; 720 by 480 pixels at 3:2 aspect ratio stretched http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html It's what I've got.
  2. After an hour of web surfing, I can fry an egg on my chest. The multitouch trackpad is worth it, though. At first, it's awesome. Then, you forget you're using it. Then, you find normal laptops to be frustrating because their mouses don't work properly.
  3. Why did they design my MBP with such a thermally conductive casing?
  4. Why would a Minshara class planet need to be in a smaller/dimmer star? IIRC, Vulcan orbits a Red Giant.
  5. For the love of the gods, find that video!
  6. If something makes no detectable effects, it is effectively nonexistent.
  7. This thread is going to be legen........wait for it......wait for it......I hope you're not lactose intolerant, because the last part of this word is....dary!
  8. Uh, what?
  9. No. Rods absorb neutrons. At power, rods just control temperature(reactor power follows steam demand). The moderator is what slows neutrons. Where, exactly, did you learn what you think you know about nuclear power?

    what is motion?

    Motion is a change in the relative position of an object. The rate of this change with respect to time is velocity. The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is acceleration.
  12. The strength of the magnetic field is not dependent upon the mass. Also, BH is black hole? What is EH?
  13. No. We need to combat the temperature decrease. Why would we insert rods instead?
  14. It is from the thread talking about whether or not masturbation causes males to age faster.
  15. Even better
  16. A message only takes ~4.5 years to reach the nearest star system. That's not too bad. IIRC, our galaxy is only a few hundred million lightyears across. We'd not be able to receive any reply from that distance, but our descendants will. Our sun is only ~4.5billion years old and it's middle aged. It's highly likely that messages sent to stars in our galaxy(so far as we don't send them to stars that are dying) would be received prior to the death of the system.
  17. Radio waves don't travel slower than light waves.......mainly because they ARE light waves.
  18. That's what I was thinking. I would treat i as a constant(after all, it is ).
  19. The plasma injectors are fused and the warp coils are fried, but is that why the warp field destabilized? It seems the answer may be "no". Apparently, when QM is taken into account, warp fields destabilize near c and the inertial bubble becomes irradiated. http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.0141 Now, who's working on the Star Gate? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedAlso, what possible FTL is left?
  20. Yep.....Tux in a Mad Hatter tophat.
  21. And the REALLY cool ones are still banned from #sfn for talking about Lost with insane_alien around.
  22. I didn't think you were here in the days of IMM and AZ. IMM is probably one of the people who have influenced me most here since I've joined.
