  1. Re:light stopped? Or destroyed and re-emitted... on Stop, Light. · · Score: 2

    Correct me if I am wrong, but are they not, in essense, just taking a snapshot of a photon and then recreating it?

    According to the Heisenberg Principle, that's not possible. If they had 'taken a snapshot' that would have serious ramifications for the way we perceive the world... (insert beethoven's 5th)

  2. Re:Faster, Light on Stop, Light. · · Score: 1

    You can't. There can't be anything 'thinner' than vacuum, which by the way is a purely theoretical concept.

    c, or 300,000 km/s is the maximum speed of light. Nothing can travel faster than it.

    If you mean speeding it up after it's been stopped, I'd imagine you'd just release from the chamber of gas it's in.

    Furthering this irrelevant topic, even binary is simply a representation of the either "little or much" current that goes through the switches on the motherboard, causing your "computer" to see the switch to be either on or off.

  5. Re:It's not 3D Studio? on Blender Goes Freeware · · Score: 1

    Before blender was released to the public, it was used inhouse for NeoGeo, the company that started NaN. They were using to make games. I believe there have been some games made for CD-I as well as the PlayStation. If you download the "tutor"-xxx.tar.gz from their ftp-server, you'll some pretty neat things that have been done by the company with blender. especially ride.blend is pretty cool. -- ar0n

  6. Re:Is Plan 9 open source ? on Open Source Release Of Bell Labs' Plan 9 · · Score: 2

    Check again... there's a GNU Public License at the bottom. As far as I can tell it's nearly identical. There's probably some legal mumbo-jumbo that sets it apart.

    Doesn't really matter since he's not hosting this server. But freewebsites.com could mind. yadayada -- offtopic I know --- yadayada
