"The estimate is derived from elementary probability and does not even assume speculative modern physics, merely that space is infinite (or at least sufficiently large) in size and almost uniformly filled with matter, as observations indicate.

Didn't they read the Hitch Hikers guide to the Gallaxy?
Ok, so, wait, the hosters of the original site DON'T have to use any bandwidth AND they get the ad revenue? B.S.
Why put the Onus on Slashdot to fix the problem? If you can't fork up the bandwidth, you shouldn't get the $$$. If they let slashdot mirror Without ads maybe.....
I'm a bit skeptical about the implied relationship between physical "spin" (as in rotation) and quantum "spin"
Humans seem to have this uncanny ability to pic words and terms that closely match actual circumstances. My thought is that Quantum Spin is exactly that, spin. The spin may be at a right angle to our dimensions, but it's still spin.
So you have DC voltage, aka, electrons going in ONE direction. If they're going into the ball they have to stop at some point, or continue moving through the ball, in either case there is a 'force' being applied to the ball.
I think this is more like walking into someones yard and drinking out of his garden hose.
Unless he's watering his lawn, it's annoying, but no big deal.
There was a customer of mine who installed a wireless access point and didn't secure it. Someone used his bandwidth, but was then kind enough to leave a message on ALL of his printers telling him he had a security problem. You might do the same for this guy. I think it 'ballances' karma, and even puts things in your favor (grey hat type stuff)
They ought to just get an account with a univeristy that has AFS space. Encode in JPEG and MP3, those formats are SOFT and so less likely to die. The people running all the AFS servers will make sure the hardware doesn't get too out of date.
Granted this is 'over simplified' even in some sense ridiculous, but I think the basic idea has merit. There are architecutures in place that will 'automatically' migrate data from an old hardware format to a new one (an example is any half competent ISP). MP3's and Jpegs aren't going to die any time soon as data formats, since it's trivial to include support for them in applications that 'do that sort of thing'. Stuff only has to be migrated/encoded once, after that, let the hosting company handle it.
"...Then, and only then, was it possible to figure out the equations..."
FACT: I got A's in calculus, and did nothing more than 'plow'. It wasn't the easiest thing to do but I learned, and I understand. (I'm a calc tutor now)
OPINION: The above is B.S. Doing this with sections of a book, or even the whole book might be helpful, but only if the book is written to support it (ie a 'themed' book) and it certainly isn't a REQUIREMENT for understanding.
Force? That's what you use against your enemies. The maintainers of the the net (programmers, admins, CCNA dudes in trucks) aren't going to sit on their hands if there's a problem w/the common good.
If someone has to 'force' us to do something, chances are it's not for the common good.
FYI: The government 'forced' Cox communications to put network monitoring hardware in their server rooms. I wouldn't be surprised if they start doing it to every ISP in existance. How's that for force?
A related article links your sense of taste to your risk for cancer, heart disease, etc.
Ok, enough stretching here. That has to do with EATING habits. The sense of taste only affects health as a behavior modifying agent. Don't make more of it than it is.
I thought bugs were IN the code. Isn't complaining about them how we get them fixed? Ass, this is kinda like when Arsineo Hall lost touch with his aduience.
Ummm, you're not moving ANYTHING else. I think that's kinda the point.
0 force allows you to change/reduce the amount of force used to type on the keyboard this == reduced stress (in theory). The changes in the angle of the hands alone from most other keyboards should yield some short term improvement. (and with altering the types of keyboards he uses could yield long term improvement)
Slashdot Mirror
Finally a new story worthy of Slashdot!!!
My vote has more weight the way things are now!
Ummmm,
Try just about any optical mouse over $15. They'll have a middle button, usually in the wheel (as in 2nd and 1st posts).
But then they also may have buttons for your thumb, and other fingers.
The MX700 has 3 middle buttons not counting the one combined with the wheel.
(it also has 2 thumb buttons an the normal click and alt click.)
Last, could we PLEASE have more cool articles? This one is pretty much dog food.
Seems like they keep changing their minds.....
On March 11 the Universe looked like a doughnut.

I think he's talking about things like cold fusion, that university group faking results, etc...

I went to work at 5pm. I left work at 7:30 pm.
:)
This counted as a full day of work.
Did I mention I get 5 weeks paid vacation?
+ holidays...
It seems many of the best writers of SF aren't writing much anymore and they aren't being replaced.
Do you agree with this? What do you think about it?
Why was this put up?
When you calculate the objects properties, the math is still the same.
This site is (or used to be) about the 'math' not the 'management bs'.
I've heard theories (not from the link) about the Earth's core being crystalline.
So where does Mars get off having a liquid one?
What, pray tell, is a "muntain"?
OR even,
"I know that this site is *a* most casual thing"
You would think he would have done a grammar check...

The US can explore all we want. I say GO CHINA!!!!
If we're not going to get off our ass and into space (for 'real') I'm sure glad someone's willing to.

What's that? Since when did 'social responsibility have anything to do with good engineering of any kind?
