Incredible New Animation Shows The Ferocious Power of a Solar Flare (astroengine.com)
NASA and the National Science Foundation helped fund something amazing. Slashdot reader astroengine writes:
For the first time, scientists have created a computer model that can simulate the evolution of a solar flare, from thousands of miles below the photosphere to the eruption itself in the lower corona -- the sun's multimillion degree atmosphere. And the results are not only scientifically impressive, the visualization is gorgeous....
[W]ith increasingly-sophisticated solar observatories (such as NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory), we are getting an ever more detailed look at what's going on inside the sun's deep atmosphere and, with improvements of theoretical models and increases in computer processing power, simulations of the corona are looking more and more like the real thing... Rather than forcing their simulation to generate flares, they re-enacted the conditions of the sun that were observed and just let their simulation run to create its own flares. "Our model was able to capture the entire process, from the buildup of energy to emergence at the surface to rising into the corona, energizing the corona, and then getting to the point when the energy is released in a solar flare," said NCAR scientist Matthias Rempel in a statement. "This was a stand-alone simulation that was inspired by observed data. "
They're calling it "a three-dimensional radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulation of a solar flare," and Discover magazine breaks down the colors in the image -- for example, green shows the hottest plasma, with temperatures over 10 million K (or nearly 18 million F).
"A single flare can release the equivalent of millions of hydrogen bombs all going off at the same time."

Table-ized A.I.
Propaganda-driven Science funding is turning fact into fictions in front of our eyes.
Where the funding for actual space telescopes? Not sexy enough to tear the attention of vapid 'journalists' away from their twitter feeds I expect.
Not a great idea
Who knew that computers could be used to model such complex and beautiful processes when they are not busy mining Bitcoin and playing vidya games.
Have gnu, will travel.
I think I have that same visualization plugin for Winamp!
How could they be working on that, they're supposed to be sulking on furlough!!
P.P.S. => I am gay..gayPK
No one cares what you want. You can whine like a butthurt crybaby, but no one cares what you think or what you want. If someone is impersonating you, too bad for you. You brought it on yourself with your awful behavior. You threw a fit because whipslash told you to stop spamming and modified the lameness filter to limit your most egregious abuses. You've been crying about that and threatening Slashdot for two years, but you're incapable of actually following through with a single one of those threats. You've done nothing worthwhile with your life. You've created a poorly written I land extremely inefficient program to sort strings, then spend your life spamming Slashdot. Your life revolves around spamming Slashdot comments, because you're utterly worthless. No matter how much you whine and how butthurt you become, no one cares what you want.
In practice, I dont think Ive ever heard a scientist say the plural. We would hear/say 40 Kelvin or 273 Kelvin. Damn physicists, why they always got to be weirdos. Now Ill start listening for it and see what the consensus is. Ill report back in 5 years.
The retarded bitch Alexander Peter Kowalski is mad the he doesn't understand parody. Any good parody, like the one he is so upset about, is based in reality and fact and since he doesn't comprehend the difference between impersonation and mockery all he can do is get upset. Maybe he can post some fake support from his pretend friend and get really pissed when caught.

By the way, lastly YOU ARE RIGHT! No one cares & you truly are, no one & NOBODY you UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous weezil STALKING me.

P.S.=> I threaten nobody - I only give folks what they want (more speed/security for less doing MORE vs. ANY 1 'solution' out there because "I'm whatever GOTHAM needs me to be" per Christian Bale (one of my thespian heros, the LON CHANEY of the modern era, adaptable method actor))... apk

1.) My program stops portfilter errs in hosts https://news.slashdot.org/comm...
2.) CHINA did hardcodes LONG AFTER I DID "Time is on MY SIDE" (Rolling Stones) lol, period.
3.) Wildcards CREATE FALSE POSITIVES (try wildcard myftp.org, not all sites in it = bad). Hosts specifics don't cause that.
4.) I never had to sue Thor SCHMUCK - CA rescinded their FALSE POSITIVE error, sold off their shitty antivirus & I said I'd speak to an attorney & I did who advised I go thru their removal process & I won.
5.) /. users state the value of hosts for getting users more speed/security/reliability/anonymity listed here (enumerated as "Registered /.ers reviews") https://it.slashdot.org/commen...
6.) Security pros galore + /.ers praise the layered security efficacy of hosts quoted here https://it.slashdot.org/commen...

Yields more security/speed/reliability/anonymity vs. any 1 solution (99% of threats use hostnames vs. IP address most firewalls use) more efficiently/FASTER + NATIVELY 4 less!
Vs. "Bolt on 'MoAr' illogic-logic" slowing you hosts speed u up 2 ways: Adblocks + Hardcode fav. sites u spend most time @ vs. competition loaded w/ security bugs (DNS/AntiVir) + overheads slowing u (messagepass 'souled-out' to advertisers easily detected & blocked addons + firewall filtering drivers) & their complexity leads to exploitation!
* ONLY 1 of its kind in GUI 4 MacOS!
(Better vs. Windows model in speed/efficiency)

Oh look its another Computer Generated Imagery made by NASA that has nothing to do with reality and the fact that not one single solar flare in 4.6 billion years have ever been observed to cause any relevant or long lasting damage

See subject: I'm so sick & tired of /. BULLIES. You shitweasels have nothing better to do than HARASS, STALK & IMPERSONATE little ol' me. I've done absolutely NOTHING wrong & just try to make everyone's lives better w/ my work that stops ads & malware. It's NOT easy being God's gift to Slashdot.
* As soon as I post, I'm CENSORED to -1 w/ ABUSED downmodpoints by bullies like ZIP, who even admits to this. I caught c6gunner mocking then IMPERSONATING me when he forgot to log out. Zontar mailed me a postcard w/ THREATS on it, then LIES & STALKS me. All because you JEALOUS JOWIE "ne'er-do-wells" KNOW I'm World-Class & you're shit. It's why you hide behind FAKE names & UNIDENTIFIABLE ANONYMOUS.
I caught viperidaenz & webmistressrachel IMPERSONATING me too. The OLD HAG is JUDEN TRASH and knows nothing about computers so she LIES about me instead. This is one sick in the head IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP bitch, no questions asked. You wish you were me & that's why you IMPERSONATE & ATTACK me.
I'm even improving my already GREAT PHYSIQUE & SUPERIOR INTELLECT while you weezils sit around all day on /. STALKING & HARASSING your BETTERS. I repeatedly dust the no-mind bullshit blatherings you BULLIES post to attack me. Like always I WIN & YOU LOSE.

P.S.=> This BULLYING of me is SO UNFAIR & I've done nothing to deserve it from you people. I'm tired of CASTING PEARLS before SWINE with my work that you CAN'T do better than. GROW UP... apk
Me wants this dumbed-down (to be faster) as a screensaver-module... *sigh*
Go to your local astronomy club some time and look through an Halpha scope. You can literally see things like this. People who know what they're doing are taking images like this in their back yard.

Once you get into the millions of degrees, the 2x difference between f and c/k is irreverent. Just state the magnitude and say "degrees".
Sorry retarded bitch Alexander Peter Kowalski, you are just a loser who is too dumb to realize you got stomped long ago.
Here is a chronicle of your bitch ass getting beaten on your port filtering statements.
Here is another one where your got beaten hard because you can't back up anything you say. This was about how you claim your shitware can block all hosts in a domain, which it can't.
Then there is your claim that the Chinese copied you but you admit that at best all you have is wild ass speculation and can't offer any real proof or even actual evidence to support yourself.
How about the list of experts you claim support your statements, none of which actually support your work and have been shown to actually be saying things different from what you stated they were.
Maybe instead you can tell us about your "success" where a project rejected your stupid simplistic idea or maybe threaten to sue someone again because you are a insecure little man who is washed up and never amounted to anything.
Better yet you can prove how defective you are by continuing to repeat your debunked BS some more.
Why don't you get your pretend friend to post some fake support and then throw a fit when you get caught.
