  2. Re:Neutrinos on SuperK Neutrino Detector Severely Damaged. · · Score: 0

    The underground part I remebered from a show on TV around 10 years ago... no wonder it's a bit off. The problem I have noticed with the psyc's of physics teachers is they try to simplify the data to the students in an attempt to be hip... my high school professor called g 9.8m/s^2 where as my party school ECU professor in phys1000 called g 10m/s^2... this kind of thing bugs me a little. I looked up neutrino last night online and the def was short: a particle that has no mass and who's charge is neutral. Well whatever... what it the truth? of subatomic particle (and yes, if you got the pun, you might be watching public TV as much as me)

    ...have no charge and no mass... are very fast and pass through the planet so fast most detection has to be done underground... Damn I watch too much public TV...

    ...you must be God because you use "an" where "a" should be... and the real God is omnipotent, so therefore has the ability to make me and everybody else that too, yet does not... so he does not exist by default. Just like this post.

  11. Chain Gun on Hellhound Paintball ATV · · Score: 0

    If they made a detachable one, I'd start playing paintball... I've shot the regular guns and not too impressed. Although I can see why people love it so much. I could get down on tagging somebody 50 times in one second... if they deserved it.

  12. Re:Sue them. on iTunes 2.0 Installer Deletes Hard Drives · · Score: 0

    Yeah.. but it did not effect everybody... like me... I was not effected but others with similar hard drive names were. So, it's not a virus. Similar only in certain instances and affects.

  13. I had no trouble with the install... on iTunes 2.0 Installer Deletes Hard Drives · · Score: 0

    I have an iMac DV with several partitions and a Dual 533 with one Ultra160, and one ATA drive... and neither install caused any problems. Luck perhaps, but I still find it strange how a MP3 app can erase a hard drive...

  14. RPN on HP Calculator Department Closing · · Score: 0

    Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) what the HP's default to was for me, hard to get used to. I use TI-8x's and feel more control using them. RPN is great but it should not be a default setting in my opinion. It's like having to translate to your translator.

    And a 32bit candy colored OS is? Microsoft wishes it could be IBM... But will probably choke on it's own delusion

    So when for OS X? As I recall, I can get the one now to work with OS X 10.0.4. Hopefully they will get this going.

  21. Aqua is a great thing... on Apple Still Says No To Aqua-Like Themes · · Score: 1

  22. Cross Platform is the only way... on 3D Labs Proposes OpenGL 2.0 To Kick DirectX · · Score: 0

    DirectX might be a great API but it means nothing outside of game play. OpenGL is the future since its cross platform. This type of thing can sometimes cause alot of trouble in this industry... it's good to have choices but a solid standard is needed to see who's got the talent / money. And since it's open, everybody can contribute to it.

  25. RDRAM what does it do? on Motherboards with i845 Chipsets · · Score: 0

    I hear all this talk about how great RDRAM is.... sorry, I'm from the Apple camp, so I know little about this technology. I do know, however, that with the P4 it runs on 4 different 100mhz bus lines... but the interface to the RAM is only 16bit instead of 64bit, which is the case with SDRAM. I also know that the internal bandwidth is higher.. like around 800mhz vs 133mhz. (correct me if I'm wrong...) Now I can see how 4 different 100mhz bus lines have great potential to increase bandwidth, but RDRAM was also used with P3 systems that only have one bus line (again, correct me if I'm wrong) Did RDRAM help there? And what about Bandwith differences between P3 RDRAM vs P3 SDRAM and P4 RDRAM and P4 SDRAM? What good is 800mhz of bandwidth if the bus is only 100mhz?
