  1. Re:Wow... I think we need to rethink here... on Baby Black Hole With Big Appetite · · Score: 1

    Actually, the point of origin can be created with an initial spin which would create an elliptical horizon.

  2. Re:why? because: on Baby Black Hole With Big Appetite · · Score: 1

    But then we would see resultant shifting as a result of the closer SR. on the radiation from the farther one; most likely making this observation obvious.

  3. Re:Hmm... on Baby Black Hole With Big Appetite · · Score: 1

    It oscillates, as do all things.

    Anyways, all this article stands to say is that the current interpretation of the mass/size of black holes based on the frequency and luminocity of x-ray radiation is flawed. Since its guesswork and these astrophysical 'revelations' come along once every month or so, I don't see the big deal. Yeah it could be 2 black holes, but the net mass/gravitational force would be the same and its systemic behaviour they are marvelling at...

    I just dont see the big deal

    i think he was referring to the latency, not the bandwidth

  5. Re:there's no headlines in this. on Hitachi Folds, Rambus Keeps On Rolling · · Score: 1

    I dunno about that...tell the public:

    If these guys win, those stupid compaq's you buy...they wont cost $899, they will cost $1899.

    That usually gets them.

  6. Re:growing or shrinking? on Black Holes' Growth Measured · · Score: 1

    The reason that we cannot see black holes optically, is that light does not have sufficient kinetic energy to escape the gravitaitonal field at a distance outside the event horizon

    light does not have kinetic energy. also, technically, light does escape from event horizons, they are just red shifted infinitely.

    i bet M$ paid people to make those posts just so that they could instigate a lawsuit to supress peoples rights to freedom of speech. does bill gates have a bald cat he pets while he broods over who to destroy?

  8. Re:You have an alternative? on A For-Profit Trip To The Moon · · Score: 1

    yeah. shouldnt add too much cost to alter its orbit once its done to manipulate the gravity between earth and the moon to send it on a collision course with the sun.

    its like the trash can of our solar system...it will melt it down to its components and dissipate throughout the stars atmosphere...

    my point was, /. was so backed up last week, it was taking that long to load an entire page.

  16. Re:This will make Vint Happy on ICMP_HOST_BELOW_HORIZON - TCP/IP Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    so shouldnt they start writing IPv7 to allow subnets from earth? all earth-based packets having an identifier of its origin planet; an earth ip packet id. what would it be? 001.003? (first sun, 3rd planet) or is that too earth-centric. what happens to our 257th solar system? wont aliens in 100 years object that we value our solar system as #1? this was always a problem i saw in star trek, since sector 00 was earth's solar system but alot of the federation was non-earth based.

  17. Re:GET REAL! on What Is Important In A User Interface? · · Score: 1

    I thought this article was about the GUI, not the good and bad of different OS's installations, and how long it takes. lets talk about the interface, ie ON TOPIC? moderators?

  18. Re:And, Once Again, /. Readers Prove Their Worth. on Universe's Curvature Measured? · · Score: 1

    I think what this article implies is that the findings from studying the dispersion of CMB radiation is that it has an asymptotic dispersion towards 0...this implies that the universe will decreasingly expand until it reaches 0 expansion (in the year of our lord infinite)

    This implies dark matter, of some guessed-at percent, but also confirms most of our geometric approximations based upon euclidean space to be more or less exact. This 'discovery' doesnt seem to me to be that...amazing, to me its like a taxonomation of current theory; a worthwhile proof of current theory no doubt. but this isnt saying anything amazing to me, the debate about the curvature of the universe has always been presented to me in misunderstood, vague generalizations...

    maybe i just dont get what they are talking about though.

  19. Re:Trademarks? on UNIX.com On eBay? · · Score: 1

    wait so...if i really wanted this url, and i didnt want to pay anything, i should go register "unix lemonade stand", sell some people a few cups of lemonade to ensure they think its a real biz. THEN AFTER the auction, just go up to the person who bought it and make them turn it over to me because officially, i'm allowed to own that website? wow...loopholes are cool.

    Wrong. HL is based on the quake2 engine.

    I remember when it used to take a month of all-nighters to solve a game...

    not to doubt your anger at current games but....maybe you got smarter as you got older? just a thought ;)

  24. Re:Wow... and so technologically advanced too! on Daikatana Goes Gold! · · Score: 1

    Halflife is based on the quake2 engine. Daikatana was originally being written on the quake1 engine. In the middle of Ion Storm's befuddlement and lets-start-over procedures, they decided to license and impliment the quake2 engine.

    so yes, quake2, halflife, and daikatana are all based on the quake2 engine.
