  1. Re:So-called geeks! on Successful Cold Fusion Experiment? · · Score: 1

    Secondly, remember the Nuclear Physics. Any useful reactor is going to produce prodigious amounts of radiation, neutron and gamma. That means lots of heavy and bulky shielding. This is not going to appear in a home or car near you. True for fission reactors, but not for fusion reactors. Fusion is clean. No radiation, no neutron, no gamma. Just pure energy as heat. Which is why cold fusion matters. Actually fusion, if possible, will be one of the cleanest source of energy.

    That, so called, restricted socities have higher brith rate than the liberal societies, isn't a pro liberal point. I understand that neither did you say it.

    But as you said, STD is prevalent in both societies, as is prostitution. Proves nothing pro or anti.

    Inbreeding is a culture issue, which has nothing to do with how women chose to cover up themselves in a society. Look at the Amish case.

    So the only issue we are down to, is that you find it scandalous, obscene. Which is your personal feeling. Who knows, probably they feel the same about you.

    > there is nothing subjective about it!

    Wrong conclusion.

    Never expect Amazon to show the community any innovative (or non-innovative) way to do anything. They are there only to block advancement by patenting anything they use and aggressively enforcing it.

    Fastest? please, only in read-only transactions running on tiny hardware...

    Quote: "The only independent benchmark that compares MySQL to other major databases was published by eWeek/Ziff Davis in 2002. It compares DB2, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server and Sybase. The article can be found at http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,293,00.asp"

    And to summerize the report for you and all those who complain without knowing...

    MySQL is just as fast as Oracle, while all other DBs fall far behind. And NO, it's NOT with "tiny harware", with a "read-only transactions". They used gigs of data with transactions on. Go check yourself and get some knowledge.

    Reading through her pages years back, I remember somewhere she said that she was stopped at the entrance and being told no bikes allowed. Then she referred about her connections and also gave an indication of bribing them. And she was allowed in.

    If anyone has still doubt on how easy it is to bribe the Russian guards, please google for a few news coverage on the Chechen rebels and school incidence this year. The most top wanted rebel claimed he bribed his way all through Russia up to Mosko and only stoped when his 30,000 dollars were exhausted.

    She had been telling from day one that tourists do visit this place in bus. And the only people that denied she was permitted in with her bike are the guards at Cheronobyle.

    I trust Elina and her story more than I trust these guards. At least, she was offered a lot of money after her fame (for hosting her site), she declined. She even hated her new found fame. She didn't have anything to gain. Compare it with the gains and losses of the guards and decide.

    The good news is that its not only the USA administration that lies.

  14. Re:Does this effectively obsolete Hubble? on Telescope Will Have Images 10X Sharper Than Hubble · · Score: 1
    There are a few other things too.
    • At any given time ground based telescopes can watch only half the sky. The other half is at the opposite side of the earth, which is invisible from earth surface.
    • Ground based telescopes can ovserve only at night-time. Scattered sun light from atmosphere blocks all view at day time.

    Thus these telescopes are idle half of the time and are not able to watch any spectacular event if it doesn't fall in the proper time frame and the correct side of earth. The view field is much wider for space telescopes.

    The denominator grows faster than the harmonic series (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ...) which grows to infinity, so the total resistance (1/infinity) is zero.

    Wrong. 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/inf is NOT equal to infinity. And the answer is not too large either. Might be around 2 or 3, cause the further right you move in the series you are actually adding zero to the total.

    The answer to the grid problem is not zero either.

    Java is only one of the languages that completely prevent stuff like buffer overrun exploits etc. In fact, pretty much every single language except C and C++ do.


    Java is only one of the languages where the VM, the run time libraries even the compiler has been written in C or C++ (unless it was all written in assembly). Dropping down to the core level languages shifts more and more responsibilites (like error checking and array bound checking) to the coder from the compiler. That's why all these different programming langagues are here for. Use the correct one in the correct place.
