  1. Re:What's the curve on Fujitsu Debuts Bendable Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    Are you stupid?

    What is organic paper? It is a medium meant to present static information.

    When we call something electronic paper, what do you think it's primary function will be? STATIC PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION.

    sse3 will fix almost all of that.

    yeah, and I pay 9 bucks a ticket and have to sit through 20 minutes of product whoring in the movies.

    sci-fi fridays my friend, sci-fi fridays.... tune in this friday at 8pm to get SG-1, SG-Atlantis, and BSG season premieres.

  6. Re:create more FM stations in 59-88MHz!! on Jan 2009 Deadline for HDTV Cutoff · · Score: 1

    well, fuck the broadcasters.. we need digital radio signals to create more space for other tech. make them digital, then compress the bandwidth to a smaller range, then they have their pricey real-estate and we have our low band easy to read through walls signal... perhaps the FCC will give 59 Mhz-65Mhz to satellite broadcasters so that they can send their signals to earth and not worry about crap like trees and walls and rain.. heck, then all you need is a receiver on top of the tv... wait, that would be broadcast :)

  7. Re:Stupidity, repeated on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    tell the system developers to create hardware that is bootable from a floppy drive by default, and then make the firmware update writers create software that recognizes usb drives.

  8. Re:Printing changes on HP Invents A New Way To Print · · Score: 1

    people who print their photos on a printer are stupid unless they print them one at a time over a long period of time.

    I usualy order rolls, or equivilant amounts as a roll I should say, at a time. I can get them on line for as little as 15 cents a print with a better quality than on my home printer. printer costs are about 30 cents a picture at home.

    I usualy use iPhoto 5 for my pictures though because it is 19 cents a print and it is much more convinient to do it in one application than upload them 15 at a time via my file system browser.

  9. Unless you have said parental involvement on Improving Education? · · Score: 1

    Unless you think parental invovlment is what will make education in teh US as good as possable, then you are way off the mark.

    Educational success is a three legged stool. Teacher, Student , and Parent.

    the teacher is the strongest part of that stoll in education today, parents are teh weakest.

    umm... the universe is a hypersphere and the inside of the sphere is the time line of its expansion. the center of the universe is the big bang.

    entropy of the SYSTEM is not effected. that has no bearing on the entropy of each particle.

  13. Re:Re:zero-point energy no chance! on NASA to Research Antimatter Rocket · · Score: 1

    hello.... it is simple algebra.

    you add one particle and then its antiparticle you have a net entropy effect of zero. these particles indeed exist for a short period of time, however, in empty space between the galaxies enough of this happens that a large force is created from the pressure of matter popping n and out of existence that it has an effect on the galaxies.

    this is only a theory, but I think it has as much merit as any other theory of dark energy.

  14. Re:Re:zero-point energy no chance! on NASA to Research Antimatter Rocket · · Score: 1

    with the creation of an anti particle along with the particle, the energy potential created from the particle is canceled out by the anti particle, as such, there is no decrease in entropy in the system.

  20. Re:zero-point energy no chance! on NASA to Research Antimatter Rocket · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ZPE is what they think is forcing the galaxies apart.

    seems like lots of power to me.

    BTW, purely empty space is not empty. there are constant creations of particles and their anti particles (thus servicing thermodynamics) popping in and out of existence in empty space. this causes a pressure to form and this pressure causes a force which can be used to extract energy.

    I say research some zpm tech and lets be done with power generation.

    How would you move Mount Fugi?

    I would use a static warp shell to lower its mass in this inertial frame of reference and then pick it up.

    I mean, the temperature out there in the orbit of those comets is very high near the sun, if it was an ice ball, then it would melt before it left the the region.
