"Hawking" radiation occurs when a virtual particle/antiparticle pair reacts with strong field OUTSIDE of the black hole and becames real: they may escapes then. Such particle pair always are created and annihilated in vacuum: due to Heisenberg principlethe law of energy conservation does not hold on very small time scales. THis radiation is inversly proportional to the hole size (it will be very bright on ultra small holes, and it is speculated that all really small holes dissapeared this way: the act of creating a real particle out of vacuum consumes energy/mass of the hole. It was never observed, and probably will be undertectable comapred with the glow of compressed matter that is being sucked in.
As for the article, this is not a real breaktrough - observation are not 100% conclusive - it just says there is a very big compact object with high mass and a very rapid accretion on it. To prove it is indeed a black hole - as predicted by theory - much more different evidence is needed. It is still an open question. Well, at least that's what I wrote in my thesis:)

How Redhat was having the potential to cause or actually causing fragmentation
Not that much of a fragmentation, but of some not so bright decisions. Like RPM (vs DEB) or GNOME (brrr.. C based UI toolkit.. arghkkkh..) More and more decisions about Linux and GNU architechture will be decided from not pure technical point of view. As long as it stays GPL - not so bad.. Time will tell.

They seemed to be able to raise capital quite well before IPO. All those cash infusions. As their's only expenses are salaries, do not quite see why would they need to issue more stock - big corporate investors prefer small outstanding share, and would be happy to pay needed expenses with cash infusion, instead of watching their share shrinking...

These companies will no longer be able to be so accomidating to the open-source community, unless they are able to justify it to their investors..
RHAT biggest investors are large corporations who, IMHO, will be perfectly happy if RHAT provides custom-taylorer Linux services for THEM. Think Linux Department of IBM, Oracle or whoever invested in RHAT... RHAT does not need to sell anything to the public to please these investors, and they would not care if it benefits Debian/Corel or Caldera either...

That would put UNIX on Intel market at around, say, 60 million systems? I mean: if Linux has 12 millions..
Honestly, I did. My apologies. I am very upset with people using quasy-scientific arguments to discuss issues they have no in-depth knowledge about. Creationism, in particular, is on my black list - so I overreacted. No, I do not advocate elitism in science. Just honesty.
And I think this discussion has nothing to do with religion and theology anyway. I am not familiar at all with theology, but once I helped my friend to translate his presentation at some theology conference on relationship between theological and astronomical Universe. I was surprised at the level of his work. Obviously, in any area of study there can be serious and competent scholars, and morons, like this Kansas school board. That's the morons I dislike, not some particular theory... :)
And according to Heisenburg, can we be certain of *anything*?
Maybe a better reference would be Hodel?
Heisenberg principle is not about inability to be certain - it is just about some properties of some physical variables describing a system. Quantum mechanics is actually quite deterministic - but not in a "common" sense.
Sign.. I know..my English sucks... Can't find time to learn it better... But I will learn it, while Kansas kids still will grow up to be arrogant morons. Just like some people around here..
Do yourself a favor - get some science education. As far as your current question is concerned - there is a good FAQ mentioned in this group - link here . I will save my arguments - we need to be on the same level of basic knowledge to discuss FACTS.
And just where did I say my (physics) students were dummies? Now, they were quite bright kids - that made the lack of basic science and math education that they brought from school even more obvious. It's a fact. Sorry.

You hope so. This Netscape crap freezes X dead - including keybord, on a regular basis. And that is not the only offending application. Yes, brave Linux heart is still beating under it, and I can drive to work to ssh to it, but that sort not a stable system, do not you think?
BTW, is their a way to connect the keyboard thru some separate driver, which listens to a particular key combination to switch to separate console, so X can never freeze it out?

You, Mr. Coward, are either rather brainwashed, or you chose to be a liar. The point about monopoly - yes, they are chosen initially. Then, the choice dissappears. Any OEM has to sell some Windows, on at least part of their machines: because too much of software run only with MS. Now, Microsoft uses this monopoly to force predatory agreements. There is no choice now. The only way to stop them is to force them out of this practice. (No, I do not advocate forcing them out of business)
Nobody is forcing anyone to buy Microsoft products
Yes they do. They very fscking do force us. They have OEMs by the balls. Even if you by a Linux system from Dell, you pay for acopy of MS Windows - they charge per CPU. We bought 10 Dells - we paid 1K extra - it was never installed - can you, wise ass, get our money back? Do not think so. Our group ditched that NT crap and uses Linux and Solaris. Yet, when our company (government) pays for MS Shmoffice or NT Workstation - they force agreement per employee. You can stuff your bullshit up your ass, Mr. Coward. You LIE.
