Resolving Beachballs in the Crab Nebula
Stranger4U writes "Researchers at New Mexico Tech and the NRAO have used the Aricebo radio telescope in Puerto Rico and some specilized equipment to more closely examine the pulses from the Crab Nebula pulsar. Some of the signals lasted less than two nanoseconds, meaning the originated from a volume no bigger than beach ball. Stories are here(1) and here(2)."
i doubt it, but why not?
Slap you in the face with my dick, and stick my balls in your mouth.
That's right
Choke on a nut hair.
Coming soon from Tecmo: Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball Crab Nebula edition!
but more like the...tenth?
Does this mean they found a cure for my STD?
teee heeeeee
Why the heck am I seeing ads for Windows XP and Office XP at the top??? I thought this was Slashdot? Advertising for software that you constantly bash into the ground? What a bunch of hypocrites.
slashdot has never, ever trashed Microsoft. Many of the PEOPLE who post here do, but many others mod them down. slashdot just puts up the news and articles, and does not censor the comments.
You must be new here. Comments like yours are a dime a dozen here, and all incorrect.
It's Arecibo... Look at you Seti@Home account.
slashdot has never, ever trashed Microsoft.
Ahahahahahah! That's the funniest thing I've heard all year! AHahahahahahahahahahahh! You've got to be kidding!!??? Taco, Hemos, CowboyNeal, all of them take jabs at Microsoft every chance they get. You're a fscking idiot.
I want em in me!
..is not about runny ass eggs.i still want em in me!
I've only just started using Windows after using Linux since 1997 when I left Windows 2.0 for Linux.
I just installed my service pack and everything went so smooth I am amazed. I used to be one of those Linux users that claimed Windows was unstable and difficult to update but I was very wrong about that.
When I was using Linux I had so many dependency problems even with the Debian apt program I was using that was supposed to automatically resolve dependency problems.
The truth about apt and Debian is that I hosed my system several times trying to upgrade packages.
This was well known on COLA and I got caught but being a true linvocate I would never admit my errors and since all my linux friends came to my assistance in fighting off the trolls it was easy to escape.
When this happened for the fourth time, hosing my system, I began to think that maybe Linux isn't so great and that is when I tried Windows
XP.
I may never go back to Linux unless I see some major improvements because Windows is so much better for me.
You're a fscking idiot.
Thats scandisking idiot to you bub.....
And Slashdot, as a publication/website, isn't anti-ms. speaking out on their policies, or the editors having opinions doesnt make someone 'anti-MS'. I mean, think about it, if they WERE trying anti-MS, MS would not advertise here, and my god, do they ever advertise here!
I love Intel's processors, but will still jab them for stupid shit, like serial numbers on p2s, and blocking smp on celerons. Same for other companies and/or persons.
critical != anti
"G-Force!"
if they WERE trying anti-MS, MS would not advertise here
Sure they would!! MS has all kinds of money to throw around. What better way to destroy an anti-MS site than to buy advertising banners and have them placed on the site.
All the anti-MS sentiment on that site then becomes, as I said before, hypocritical.
I bet you wont find an MS banner on www.gnu.org
Wearing thong bikinis. That's all we really care about.
That is nice! I've seen it and often wondered; Is it sculpture, or the real thing? I mean, you can see what looks like the end of a tube used in one of those super fun home enema kits, but gosh, the preassure involved must be terrible. Something about the inverted nature of the rectal opening seems fake looking. I think it would make an excellent sculpture, maybe something for the corporate world, like right outside of a conglomerate's headquarters building or the like. Maybe at 4-5 times the scale. What do you think?
