  1. I don't know what you're talking about
  2. No, not Link. I already told you. George.
  3. Is it possible to extract data from within an event horizon using a wormhole? We could send a probe with the mouth of a wormhole into a black hole(accelerating the entire way if possible to minimize tidal forces) and use the wormhole to send back a signal. I can already see a few problems: Is there enough usable energy available to humans to create a stable macroscopic wormhole? Gravity might pass through the wormhole. Is it even geometrically possible to have the mouth of an Einstein-Rosen bridge on the singularity side of an event horizon? We don't know how to make a wormhole. Black holes are REALLY far away. Radiation passing through wormhole. Spaghettification of probe.
  4. I don't think that was ever a real threat. Osama was not a Muslim leader; he was a leader of Muslim extremists. His following was extremely small. His death might galvanize his small following, but that's fighting against the division of a power struggle. Comparing his following to the Catholic Church is simply absurd.
  5. Barring the Zombie Apocalypse, I think our threat from Osama is over. While the threat from Al Qaeda is not over, the loss of Osama does present us with strategic opportunity. There is now a power vacuum that could result in anything from destabilization to a somewhat of a civil war within the group. It seems that the end of this mission is near and we can soon bring our troops home and have one less war to pay for. Politically, it probably resulted in an increase in Obama's approval rating and provides him with a campaign point Aside from the power vacuum, what else has changed?.
  6. I was under the impression that the goal of the night was to capture him alive(since, you know, they tried to get him to surrender). He refused surrender during the fight and was then killed.
  7. One could say that they're the same arms if the evolution of the arms was a transition from wings to arms since a lot of the structure is still there from the last time the wings were arms and presumably that structure would remain in the new arms.
  8. This is a game where we try to predict conspiracy theories. Since Osama Bin Laden just died, let's start there. I'll go first. He's actually still alive because: Obama would never allow the assassination of a fellow Muslim. No long form death certificate was shown. Bush couldn't do it, so there's no way Obama could. Obama took too long to do it. They dumped the body too quickly. Obama/Biden sounds too much like Osama Bin Laden. Sarah Palin and/or Michelle Bachmann and/or Donald Trump and/or Glenn Beck told me so.
  9. No. Evolution is a lie from Satan to draw you away from God.
  10. I know that Walmart was in hot water recently about unequal pay between men and women despite the fair pay act. I think I saw that via pharyngula.
  11. It's supposed to use zero power to keep an image on the screen. The battery life drops considerably if you're playing games(continuous refresh), but if you just read with it, it lasts pretty much forever.
  12. Indeed. You people provide some entertainment.
  13. Mine is black, so I'm going to say it is the third gen. It sure is making laundry day more barable; I read a bit then hop on SFN.
  14. I thought mine was a K3, but I'm not so sure now.
  15. Or you could give the co-ordinates and we could look on google earth ourselves.
  16. Your link looks supicious.
  17. Yes. That's one of the major selling points of e-ink vice backit LCD.
  18. How did you know? I made that back in high school. Totally legit; it even has signatures of two witnesses. I wonder if I still have that somewhere.
  19. I've not yet used the converter. I'm still parsing an OCRed scan so I can send my Kindle the text document. The guide said that sending a text document will automatically convert to kindle format, but pdfs won't(although, you'll still be able to read them as well). I have ported all my previous Amazon e-book purchases(i used the Kindle app on the ipad as it had more options than the ipad bookstore), so I've already got some reading. The first thing I've started (re)reading on it is I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and I must say that the Pearl e-ink looks fantastic.
  20. So is your face! Sorry, had to be done. As you were.
  21. Would using multiple cores increase the overall speed even if the individual processors max out?
  22. So, it turms out tht the Kindle now has a full browser (with obvious limitations from the type of screen) instead of just wikipedia and amazon. The top of SFN is a bit wonky, but posting works just fine. This post brought to you by ydoaPs's Kindle.
  23. What's the maximum possible processor speed? Surely there comes a point when nHz is indistinguishable from (n+1)Hz.
