  1. What are you mumbling about "Enterprise-level office chairs"? I have never heard of that term. Did you just make it up?

    Oh wait, let me google it! Enterprise-level office chairs: Oh I see, I am sorry, here is the first result when searching without quotes:

    If quoting the term when searching Google, e.g. "Enterprise-level office chairs", your post is the only result Google provides. So, maybe you made it up after all!

    Listen dude, the guy has explained everything;
    "It is because he is regional and his office has a window with a view of the roof"

    Period, that's it, that explains and justifies everything.

    I believe that we now have strong enough evidence to close the case.

    A script can't fix a broken system that need repairs. I typically have ~20 systems per day that need repairs.

    Well, if they had been repaired right the first time, there might not be so many to repair everyday.

    Dear creimer,

    I assume I can advertise my writing talents too, so please read this:

    https://slashdot.org/comments....

    It pisses me off because at first, I intended to do a quick comment, in the style that you cherish and it finally took me half an hour to structure it better and I don't pretend it is perfect. This is an important part of writing.

    Keep in mind that I am not bragging about anything. I humbly offer my services as an editor since I truly believe that you might have something interesting to say after all.

    Let me know what you think...

  8. Re:Gravitational waves are pseudoscience on New Kind of Gravitational Wave Source Detected? (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    Consider that a wave implies that something is oscillating, otherwise you don't have a wave at all.

    Nope, shock waves caused by an explosion or earthquake have nothing oscillating as the source. I assume it must the same for most gravitational waves but I am not well versed on the subject.

    Waves caused by something oscillating are just many and they tend to have regular patterns.

  9. Re:Gravitational waves are pseudoscience on New Kind of Gravitational Wave Source Detected? (nature.com) · · Score: 2

    In a more simplistic way, IMHO, their name is self-explanatory.

    Water waves are variations in the height of water. A kind of shock-wave is variations on the air pressure around you, etc.

    So, gravitational waves are variations on the gravity field around you and, of course, this has an impact on space time as we understand it nowadays and it can be measured now that we have more precise instruments.

    At least, that's how I understand it without much research on the subject. Please elaborate if I am too simplistic since I assume that you are better documented than myself on the topic.

    Anyway, there is a classical story on the NTP forums of a guy measuring time going slower; he had 2 atomic clocks and was going on a trip across the States. He left one home and he put the other one in the trunk of his car. When he got back home, he could see that the clock that had been accelerated and decelerated physically had gone slower compared to the one that was left home while the clocks wouldn't diverge when left side by side.

    -thx
