  1. but is it really virtual particles? on The Casimir Effect · · Score: 0

    my theory (and im a pre-undergraduate physics student - doing it next year) is that its just gravity. everything ive read suggests a minute force attracting the two plates, and that just screams out gravity to me. can someone point out where im wrong? ive been wondering about this for a while now..

  2. return of the king also on kazaa on The Two Towers Hits the Net · · Score: 0

    ...until, that is, you hover over the filename and find that its the animated adventure, and weighs in at a hefty ~900mb. now, as cool as this is, i dont think some people will be too happy when they watch it for the first time :)

  3. Re:How many "pirates" won't see the actual movie? on The Two Towers Hits the Net · · Score: 0

    your a) point might be correct, but you must realise that not everyone comes from the same locale as you do, be it your state, or your country. many slashdotters are from outside the states. therefore, the price of movies does vary considerably from country to country.

    i think he might have been referring to doom.

  7. not sure about the "newness" of this... on Big Bang or Cosmic Crunch? · · Score: 0

    if i look to my left, i see a poster on my wall from a national geographic, circa 1983, about the universe, and it states this very theory in its main text.

    my duron was purchased for around 250 bucks at the time...and that was a middle-end one!

  9. Re:First pirates, now vampires? on Peer-to-Peer Networks Blocked in NZ · · Score: 0

    pirates are awesome! but not the computer software kind..they give the originals a bad name. thou ive yet to see nerds go around yelling "arrr!" ...ok, 2, but thats it, i swear.

  10. my first thoughts on the matter on Stopping Light · · Score: 0

    i havent yet read the article, will do after this, but my first thoughts are that if they have stopped light altogether, or at least slowed it almost infintismally, they would have had to have slowed down time to achieve it...

    or

    if they have managed to somehow slow down light, have they also accidentally slowed down time? my 2c. now i will go read.

  11. name them for what they are on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 0

  15. Re:LOTR SUX!!!!! on Info on the LOTR:FOTR DVD · · Score: 1, Insightful

    interesting. im currently reading the book (up to the 2nd book actually in FOTR actually!), and i regard it as the best book ive ever read so far. its interesting, never boring, keeps me involved - i look forward every day to coming home from work and getting stuck in. i dont know if i want to see the movie now that ive read it, i fear it will never be as good.

  16. wait a minute.... on Quantum Holography · · Score: 0

    according to quantum theory, the Quantum Holography hologram doesnt exist until its observed. but since its in a sealed container, it doesnt really exist at all!

  20. Re:What the fuck on The Report of My Thermal Death Have Been... · · Score: 0

    sure, a couple of ounces of moderate-sized heatsink is fine. but im sure he was talking about those oversized ones that stick out a few inches from the cpu - it becomes more of a problem in proportion to how "tall" the sink is.

  24. Re:ahem.... on VIM 6.0 is Out · · Score: 0

    agreed. i dont really do much text editing, but when i do, its pico. i dont need functions and features that vi and emacs(..? havent puddled around with emacs much) have. so picos where its at. simple, elegant, rather like a good physics equation. beauty is sometimes better than features (as is seen in the standard model all too well.....)
