A better analogy is a ball of bread dough with raisins in it (mmmm.. cinnimon raisin:)
anyway... as the bread cooks, it expands, carrying the raisins away from each other (each raisin moves away from every other raisin)
But the raisins themselves don't expand (like a dot on a balloon would) they simply get carried into the new space, like galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
if you think of three raisins, one near the center, one half way out, and one on the edge, you see how hubble's constant works.
The inner raisin sees the middle one (1 distance unit away) moving by however much the dough between them expands (say 1 velocity unit), then the outer one by say 2 velocity units (at 2 distance units away).
Then you would have hubble's constant of 1 velocity unit per 1 distance unit. To put it in terms of actual units, 1 km/s per 1 Mpc.
Now think in terms of the middle or outer raisin. The middle raisin sees each of the other two raisins moving away from it at 1 velocity unit, and they are each 1 distance unit away. So the middle raisin measures the same value for hubble's constant! (same for the outer raisin).
Thus it doesn't matter where we are in the universe when measuring hubble's constant.
But Vader aka Anakin, do to his extrordinarily high midi-chlorian count is much more powerful than Qui-Jon, and thus probably has a better sense of who is powerful and who isn't.
AFAIK Obi-Wan never says he trained Anakin as a pilot, he just says "he was the best starfighter pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior"
The line which was messed up was on Hoth when Obi-Wan appears to a stricken Luck and says "you will go to the Dagobah system... there you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi master who instructed me"
But Yoda didn't instruct Obi-Wan, the other Jedi (name escapes me) did. Unless of course, Yoda takes the newly instituted Jedi Knight under his wing in 2 and 3:)
Very true. If young Anakin is as powerful in the force as the movie suggests, he must lose much of that power at some point after turning to the dark side.
Either that or Luke is much more powerful than we were led to believe:)
Lets see... an incredibly complex and expensive machine built to keep a human eye alive (assuming you can remove it in a struggle without significantly damaging it), used in order to get only a couple hundred dollars from someone... if they even have that much in their account!
Simple economics: easier, cheaper, faster to simply stick the person up after they've gotten the money for you. Then you're also not on the security cam.
The blocks are about a minimum size to be useful. If you take a look at the windows version, they are using a 9kHz slice frequency, over a 104s recording interval.
Anything less and you'd probably miss any significant patterns.
The reason it takes so long is it processes the same data over and over using different frequency and time resolutions.
Because Microsoft has the funding to do major in-house testing, while the testing for linux has to occur through the community.
Most of the changes to the linux kernel are to support different devices on the wide variety of platforms it supports (unlike NT, which is only Alpha and x86 as far as I know). I haven't had a single problem since 2.2.1, but I upgrade anyway just because I'm addicted to compiling:)

The objects themselves are distributed randomly, but for objects outside our own galaxy there is a catch.
The gas and dust which make up the spiral arms of our own galaxy obscures our vision.
We can only really see interstellar objects up and down out of our galactic plane.
I'm not sure about the actual number of degrees which are obscured, but I believe its somewhere in the range 15-45 degrees

And that's why there's the handy dandy security camera behind that neato little mirror on the ATM.

The problem lies in the system admins who have tens to hundreds of pc's just lying around after work hours.
Most offices are of course running windows clients, and thus the data is a little skewed.
Doug
One slight bone to pick: there's no reason that either side would stop transmitting and simply wait for the other to listen, and respond.
:)
A continuous stream of data would be much more productive, and would help to lessen the burden of the lag.
(and for you quake fans out there, imagine lag on the order of 100 years or so)

You know. It's like, if you notice, the entire list of things. NOT A SINGLE THING LINUX DOES BETTER. Or even equivalant for that matter
Of course not! That's the first rule of marketing.. play up your strengths, downplay (or in this case, neglect to mention) your downsides.
I agree about the formatting.. there are also several spelling errors... not great for a company with such resources.
Gotta love the slut analogy though... may have to borrow that sometime.

The answer is not to sulk away and let your anger build up until you snap.
Once you realize that you enjoy who you are, they can't touch you.
