  1. Re:Think Positron Engine Drive on Sizing Up the Daedalus Interstellar Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Not to detract from your post, as I suspect it changes little, but there is a naturally occurring source of anti matter.

  3. Re:My Setup on Video Appliance For a Large Library On a Network? · · Score: 1

    I use a PS3 too, but drive it from my mac using Medialink software http://www.nullriver.com/products/medialink.
    It can transcode video formats that the ps3 doesn't support on the fly which is pretty cool (but means it just breaks if you try to fastfoward/rewind)
    I use ethernet-over-power adapters (200M/b) between the ps3 and the router (gigabit/802.11n)

    mostly works as intended, can stream 1080p over 11n no problems. Its a little wobbly and requires occasional server restart on the mac, but the wifes figured out that part now too (go to mac, open system preferences and restart medialink )

    It can see our itunes library and iphoto library, including all playlists/albums etc too, which is pretty nice , I have some large usb drives hanging off the mac where my library lives. I also have a maxtor nas drive which the ps3 can also see and play video/music from but the upnp server in it isn't so good. (no thumbnails, silly ordering)

    ...but our cantennared friends are also not taking up valuable seating in the cafe and as has been stated previously, bandwidth is cheap

    travelling in my tricked out combie
    on a, bullshit trial, bird in a gum tree,
    i met a strange lawyer, he made me nervous
      he took my songs and stole my breakfast

                    and i said oh! you come from a land down under?
                    where you write a song and a man can plunder
                    when you hear does it make you wonder?
                    you mustn't hum, you mustn't play covers

    got sued by a man down under
    (he had), some copyrights and my song he plundered
    i said do you speak(a) my language?
    he just smiled and gave me a legalese sandwich,

                    and i said oh! you come from a land down under?
                    where you write a song and a man can plunder
                    when you hear does it make you wonder?
                    you mustn't hum, you mustn't play covers

    Dying in a den in Bombay
    (with a) slack jaw, and not much to say
    i said to the man "are you trying to exempt me
    from playing my tune in a land of plenty ? "

                    and he said NO! you stole that riff down under
                    the flute solo it makes me wonder
                    these rights we bought to plunder
                    the tunes you make in a land down under

  7. Re:contributions from amateurs on 1,400 Megapixel Pan-STARRS Telescope Comes Online · · Score: 5, Informative

    Some amateurs assist these kinds of projects via sites such ash http://www.galaxyzoo.org/ which is a site that asks you to classify galaxies into types such as clockwise-spiral or elliptical etc. I know I like doing this as the skies around where I live are very light polluted so its nice to assist in some way I can, and there is just so much data to go through that all eyeballs are appreciated
