  2. Black hole or neutron star slingshot? on Have Aliens Found Us? A Harvard Astronomer on the Mysterious Interstellar Object 'Oumuamua (newyorker.com) · · Score: 0

    When I saw this thing I thought it looked kind of like a spaghettified comet or asteroid that swung too close to a black hole or neutron star or some other similar dense object. The spaghettification could explain it's odd shape and acceleration, could it not? It could also explain why there was no outgasing, because it was boiled away in the spaghettification process.

    I was recently affected by this and this is exactly what they told me. They were confident I could find something, and they were right. I took a 4 month vacation and found something better for a more stable company.

  7. The Geth revere Sovereign as a god, the pinnacle of their own evolution. But the reaction of their deity is most telling. It is insulted.

    Thanks I've been looking for something to replace mytinytodo and this one fits the bill. Not sure why people downvoted this. It's exactly what was asked for.

    More like distract from his own crimes against humanity by blaming the whistle blower yet again, like he probably will for the rest of his life. I'm positive CIA director has much much much more blood on their hands than Snowden.

    "you often spend much of your workday on your own, with lots of time when you don't have a specific pressing task". We are the opposite. We spend every day with all departments blaming the network and us telling everyone how to do your jobs and stop blaming the network for your own problems or mistakes or lack of planning. If only we had that extra time to actually pay attention to the tasks we have rather than dealing with your problems. =]

    It's the size of the wave that makes 2.4 able to penetrate walls better, not the amplification of the signal. Ever wonder why your TV Antenna works better outside the house than it does inside?

  23. Nvidia! on AMD Hires Bank To Explore Sale Options · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't it be funny if Nvidia bought AMD? They used to make Intel motherboards and have wanted to get into the x86 business in the past but were denied. Intel hates Nvidia and knows they can compete, that's why they sued their motherboards off the market. It would be ironic if Nvidia bought AMD and scared Intel into a hole for retribution.

  24. My vote goes to Vint Cerf on Who Really Invented the Internet? · · Score: 0

    Well obviously there was no one person who invented the internet, but if it were put to me on the one person most responsible for our current internet my vote would go to Vint Cerf. He was the driving force behind TCP/IP which is basically what spurred the modern internet movement.

  25. So what about the Keystone Pipeline? on Domestic Drilling Doesn't Decrease Gasoline Prices · · Score: 0

    So I see many of you are saying we need more avenues to crude oil. What I don't get is all these tree huggers and protests disrupting a major pipeline that could have a drastic effect on lowering oil prices. The Keystone pipeline was planned to run from the oil sands fields of Canada (The world's 2nd largest producer of oil behind Saudi Arabia) straight to our biggest refinery infrastructure in Texas and the midwest. Come on now, have we ever had a major environmental catastrophe from a PIPELINE? What are people's thoughts on this?
