If they we trying to approximate Jupiter, then they would just use an 8mm ball of tungsten. If it was earth, then it would be a little bigger than 1mm.
I had set up vgetty to answer calls after a number of rings that was based on the caller-id information, but that requires a modem whose voice capabilities are supported on linux. The idea was that 'Unknown Caller', etc. went straight to the voicemail, but everything else was allowed to ring four times. It's a simple and proven method.
Really, it's like asking "Who would regulate Chemistry?" or "Who would regulate Biology?". To what end? Chemical additives in food would be regulated by the FDA. Bacteria that broadcasts pirate radio stations would be regulated by the FCC.
"Nanotechnology" (capital N) shouldn't be regulated by ANY government agency. Individual nanotechnologies should be regulated by the department most suited to regulating their particular application, and only as it applies to that application.
Would it be possible for multiple low frequency signals to interact to form a sine wave of a much higher intensity?
Not likely; If two otherwise equal waves were completely in phase, then they would have a higher amplitude together like you suggest (all other physical factors ignored), but if they were completely out of phase, then they would be completely destructive and cancel each other out.
In a system of random signals, there's no reason to assume that any phase is more likely than any other. It's safe to assume that there are nearly equal instances of constructive interferance as there are of destructive intereferance.
There's no exclusiveness there. Clouds and clusters are galaxies, there's no distinction.
Really, the only place you could contest whether something was a galaxy or not would be multiple star systems on the small side and whether or not two galaxies are actually separate on the large side. Really though, multiple star systems move together, so that's not really a question, and most of the stars in a galaxy tend to orbit in the same general direction and in the same plane. If a large grouping of stars moved together in a way that's very eccentric to our galactic plane, even if it orbits our galactic center, then it's likely a minigalaxy.

I think a lot of people assume that people like Mozart or Beethoven were well paid for their time. Really, composers were a dime a dozen; any wealthy person had at least one, just as they might have a chef or a coach driver. Like with any profession, only a few of those many, many composers were truly outstanding and are well known to this day. They may have earned more lucrative contracts than their peers, but how much is the most revered chaffeur or butler paid today?
Although vacuum sounds convincing, it has the worst failure mode. If you pop a hole in an unpressurized helium tank, then there is no compelling reason for the helium to rush out. If you pop a hole in a vacuum chamber, then air rushes in and it suddenly becomes a liability.
I think it's because of the ideas that (1) the player is supposed to fill the role of the main character and (2) the player should be able to start playing a game without having to read a novella first.
So, amnesia is a fairly effective way of emotionally involving the player, because he starts off not knowing what's going on, and then learns about the situation, along with the main character. That way he always has the proper perspective.
There's a reason why law school consists of more than reading a law dictionary.
IANAL, but that's no reason to be a condescending prick about it.
The point is, when a person sells an object, it's understood that the object works. Maybe it's not merchantibility, maybe it's fitness for a particular purpose. It doesn't matter. If Best Buy started selling dead hard drives knowing that their customers thought they were buying working units, then they would be commiting fraud.

Here's this.
- The service refused to let her shop online, always saying that she hadn't put in her credit number
- The computer would not return her credit card that she had apparently crammed into the 3.5" drive
Some people just leave you dumbfounded.I had set up vgetty to answer calls after a number of rings that was based on the caller-id information, but that requires a modem whose voice capabilities are supported on linux.

I wonder what effect this will have on the difficulty of hacking DRM?
Collies, actually.

It may seem like you have contrary evidence, but your assertion is still umproven. :)

I use SI to measure my flower power, thank you very much!
He's obviously talking about the Free States of Micronesia!
That's funny; I left AT&T for SBC because their service was horrible. I had a great year until the merger, now I have constant problems again!
You mean people can't be crucificated?

That Lake High School is just outside of Toledo, OH. The Lake High School in question is near Canton, in the East.

Or do you have another link that says otherwise?
