just a made up chain of events without justification or evidence. hence it's got no credibility.
mupen64+ works well for linux (that 4 usb cables + 4 old xbox detacahble controller cables, gives a pretty sweat setup)
OFC this is all offtopic due to legal issues:( but if your not hampered by such technicalities then i strongly recommend getting a couple of xbox controllers and usb wires.
At a guess ~5-10 years ( without the E=mc^2 paper ). Quantum mechanics would maybe have been put back a year or two without his paper on the photoelectric effect, but given the climate somebody else would have worked it out. None of this takes anything away from that fact that he did do it all.
General relativity may not have come about for 20-30 years though, however there was a lot of collaboration on that anyway.
I disagree, one of them was just a kids tv program and Tourchwood is not worth watching IMHO. Maybe watching one or two tourchwoods helped me no the characters but i didnt feal id missed anything by not watching more, hell id hoped that the finale was a Lone guns style ending to that.
I applaud the BBC folks for thinking so creatively about spin-offs playing off against Doctor Who, and vice-versa,
And I think that Lucas should never of made the original trilogy, i find the BBC are milking dr who for all they can get. They are completely stomping over old dr.who stories, I mean its had some good episodes in this last series but only a few have lived up to the old series.
It was 62 minutes, I think it depends how they edited it. I felt the episode could have been cut down a bit, maybe 18 minutes is pushing it, but if they cut off the crappy ending and some of the filler they probably got a good deal.
Flaimbiat? ive been thinking there was a troll using mod points to disagree with people, this proves it. Canadians missing some new dr.who (maybe if it was one from the original series it would be geek worthy), is not news, its 2008 they have the internet.
Erm which of Einstein's ideas specifically do you think nobody else could have come up with? He posed that the speed of light was constant because, others had ALREADY failed to measured the speed of earth through the aether. While assuming that the speed of light is constant in all frames of reference was a jump, it was just a matter of time until somebody applied Lorentz transformations to produce special relativity, even if they did it without the physical insight.
And i cant think of anything he did post 1905 that wasn't in collaboration with others.
Not sure why this is modded troll. Einstein's special relativity was simple stuff, sure you could claim that it took an outsider to see it (not a total outsider ofc as he did have a degree in physics and knew about Lorentz transformations), but his important stuff was defiantly not done alone. His work on quantum mechanics was almost always in collaboration with others and while he provided the insight to the physics of general relativity he got a lot of help with the maths. Most of Feynman's works were also collaborations.
It's fair to say that if Einstein had been an outsider, he would never have developed general relativity or EPR specifically because he wouldn't have known enough about the maths needed to support the theories.
whats the point in putting error bars on spectrum if your just going to ignore them? spectrum of HD 189733b Surely the line has to go through those points, so either thier detector is broken and there should be huge error bars OR there is a major peaks at ~10, ~12, in fact the only place where the spectrum seams to be a reasonable fit is in the useless tail end where the error bars are huge.
For quantum mechanics (and AFAIK physics in general), it doesn't really matter what that means because its only the intermediary steps that contains i (IIRC its because the operators that give observables have to be hermitian operators).
IANAM but From a mathematical point of view, i is important because it doesn't lie anywhere on the number-line, but if you were to expand the number-line to a number plane by adding an axis in the direction of i then nothing gives you an answer off the plane (well using the operators related to addition (+,*,^,etc) and their inverses (-,/,root) anyway)
Quantum physics frameworks address this singularity removing the possibility of having the zero in the first place, still this is seen as cheating by the scientific community, as mathematics and formulas and tricks doesn't explain anything.
What exactly do you mean? in my lectures on quantum mechanics 0 was a very real answer, and if you got a 0 out in the wrong place it meant your wave-function was invalid.
I also disagree that mathematical tricks cant give you a very real value for situations when you have to divide by 0 if you don't use them.
For example the integral of [ e^nx * e^-mx dx] is 1/(m-n)[e^nx * e^-mx] when n=m this requires dividing by zero but if you spot the mathematical trick that m=n is a special case when you are integrating [0 dx] and so get x
So does this discovery change the odds for the universe ending in a heat death or a big crunch?
No, they already knew it was there. The problems in cosmology are also unlikely to be solved by finding a piece of missing mass, as were currently about 625% short by mass and
if galaxies are more likely to form around black holes
This is a chicken and egg problem. Do stars form galaxies or do galaxies form stars?
But your missing the botnet aspect of this, each bot only need to guess only once*.
*Obviously there are a lot of different images but to get two bots answering the same image requires significantly less bots than images (birthday attacks, reloading the image so you only guess when you see a z, etc).
nah it scores 92 (at 100% page zoom, 89 at other zooms)but acid is just a pissing contest. Im much more worried about the way it fails most of css2.1 when not at 100% page zoom.
Slashdot Mirror
I though OSX would make for better desktop computing than Ubuntu but it has driver issues ... file system issues ...boot partition issues.
osx only "just works" on macs
windows/linux sometimes "just work" on preinstalls, but at least their fan boys don't boast about it.
Debugging purposes, They are bound to keep the footage to see if the software is working right.

lol, next story to justify. obama sneezes at 13:26 (in particular you've got to cover why its news for nerds)
Meh powers of 2 are for wimps, 100bit Gentoo is where its at!
singularity is also good
and freedriodrpg can be played on intel (i think)
widelands (may not be playable), adonttell & Einstein are also worth a shot
Hell the kids/games metapackage for kubuntu kept me amused for a while.

IIRC UFOAI was bearable on intel, its a no go with radeon drivers though.

Pythagoreans and Nicolas Bourbaki immediately spring to mind as clear examples that groups that have produced a lot of important work!
Feynman?

er, why should i care about COMSTAR? given that its the only feature not in your standard linux distro
WTF is an imaginary number, anyway?Sqrt(-1).

Nah a scientific hypothesis can be proved false.

i thought it was 0 at the equator, just build it there!
