Did you maybe stop to think for a second that the $300,000 would include the 3 years he spent developing the site and maintaining it? hosting is only part of the cost, and usually not even a large part.
That's why I said 'or something similar'. The point was not that hawking radiation specifically was caused by strings, but that if strings existed inside the event horizon right up to the edge, then strings could in theory tunnel past the event horizon occaisionally. From the outside, it would look the same as hawking radiation, and it would have the same effect of slowly evaporating the black hole.
Maybe there's a relationship between vibrations in the strings within the black hole and hawking radiation (or something similar) releasing energy from the black hole. Maybe hawking radiation could be caused by strings near the surface tunneling out? In which case, the information going in could be related to the info coming out. Just what came to mind while reading the article, IANAP.
Yes, and there are other factors that multiply the number of possible combinations. For example, having the key modify the light in some way, having the fiber positions be variable, having the length of the light path within the key measurable (a coil of fiber to create propogation delay of the right amount). A good key, even with only 6 inputs, can have billions and billions of combinations just by adding in other factors besides on and off.
can a master key be made that just shines takes light from one side and shines it down all the other holes ?
Easily avoided by putting a signal out each pin and checking for the same signal on the receiving side.
What about one that is configurable, and can try different mappings quickly ?
Easy to defend against, since it's an electronic lock it can detect brute force attacks easily and shutdown the system. If there are 1000000 possible combinations, all you need to do is have it shutdown for 1 minute after say, 10 failed attempts, and suddenly it takes 100000 minutes to brute force.
Basically, this is no more unpickable than a card-swipe.
This part is probably true, but the keys are harder to duplicate at least (for now).
Yup, and I also doubt it's just a simple light sensor on the receiving side. Most likely there's a signal being output from each fiber and it needs to receive the correct signal on each pin of the receiving side.
I disagree, making modifications and seeing their effects is a good way to learn about viruses and how they function. The benefit to making deadly viruses is learning how to control and kill them. Would you rather wait for one to pop up naturally outside the lab and have another 1918 flu that kills 20 million people (probably alot more with today's population density).
The quarantine levels within these labs are insane, the odds of 'the stand' happening accidentally are very near 0.
A near miss is specifically a miss that was close to being a hit. People who say 'a near miss is a hit' are confusing 'near' with 'nearly', there is a difference. The first is an adjective that means close proximity, the second is an adverb that means 'almost'.
So, by the definition of the words, a 'near miss' IS a miss, and 'nearly miss' is a verb phrase meaning to almost miss.
Are YOU that out of touch that you think you need to get on your PC to make a VOIP call? VOIP phones that work just like normal phones (from the enduser view) have been in use for several years now.
Yeah, because the most distant galaxies are about 1000000000 (not exact, but you get the point) times larger and brighter than an asteroid 40au from earth. An asteroid or comet only reflects light, so the farther it is from the sun the harder it is to see. A galaxy on the other hand, will have billions of stars, each billions and billions of times brighter than what's reflected from an asteroid.
The merger won't be that simple, the black holes will most likely end up orbiting each other, and emitting very powerful gravitational waves in the process. The waves will leech orbital energy from the system, causing them to fall closer and closer together, increasing the wave frequency as they go until a final massive gravitational wave burst as one reaches the other's event horizon and it merges into a new rapidly rotating black hole. It should be a very easily recognizable signature from ligo, assuming ligo works as planned.
Yeah, a hotter liquid can hold less gas than a colder liquid, that's not the question here. The question is, can a liquid ocean (and all the life in it) suck up more CO2 than a frozen ocean. My guess would have to be yes. It's not the water itself that accounts for most of the CO2 absorption from the atmosphere, it's the life in the water.
You have to admit though, that if someone's going to make a mistake wether or not they learned it (or wether or not it was taught, I should say), it will be a false negative much more often than a false positive. It's easier to forget something because you weren't paying attention in school, than to remember something that never happened. It's 100% guaranteed that some of the people claiming to never have learned it in school WERE taught it in school, the only question is how many. From the rest of the posts it looks like the uneducated ones are the exception, not the norm.
I also learned about the soviet landers in elementary school.
It wouldn't, that guy is retarded. We could put a satelite in either l4 or l5 and it would do the job nicely, we just don't have a need for it yet, so why would we?
They are altering weather over a tiny area probably only 1/4 square mile, and only during hailstorms. And they aren't stopping the precipitation, they are only stopping the hailstone formation. I'd like to hear a single reason, other than noise polution, that this is bad.
If anything, this is good for the environment, as it reduces the number of cars destroyed every year by hail, therefore reducing needless manufacturing of replacement parts and reducing the amount ending up as scrap metal.
Besides, just because something 'happens for a reason' doesn't mean it's good for the environment. Meteors hit earth for a reason (their orbits cross earth's at a bad time), that doesn't mean they are a good thing. Hail isn't a good thing, it's not like nature 'evolved' hail to fill some need, it's just something that happens when you mix cold and thunderstorms.
Cap it again, send them a warning that they are being watched and they WILL lost their service PERMANANTLY if it's done again, and make sure you keep an eye on them and enforce it.

No updates? Maybe no 'press' images over the weekend, but they're still releasing the images as the come in.

optimumonline is 10M down 1M up, but I don't know of any other cable providers that speed.
My guess would be nothing. Besides, what would a plane be doing flying through a hailstorm?
I dunno, probably less effect than flying in a hailstorm would have on them.

It was more than 18 days in, they had data gathered over the whole flight to mars stored in that flash.
Just because the form factor isn't the biggest influence on cooling, doesn't mean it should be ignored.
Not to flame, but come on dude. You really think they could overlook something that obvious?
