I don't want to imagine a world without me, I won't be there
Strangely the universe seemed to be doing alright the first 13.5 billion years before you arrived. It should be ok, after you're gone again... Cheer up.
Remember Loki, the norse trickster god and a master of deception. Not saying anything about the truth of these accusations, but maybe this guy's choice of domain name could (ironically enough) turn out to be fitting...
I like the following explanation of the anomalous acceleration. No dark matter/20 dimensions/new gravity theory needed here. A small amount of dust in the kuiper-belt that transfers momentum with the probe should be enough to explain the slowdown. Look at:

I stumled upon a comment (from some user erat) at http://lwn.net/Articles/37364/:
"I work across the street from SCO. I was at the protest. At one point, I was one of the people carrying a SCO-produced sign (as a JOKE. At one point I even saw picketters holding SCO signs). If you were there you'd know that the entire event -- albeit serious in its message -- was taken in good spirits by pretty much everyone. I'd be surprised if anyone seriously though the SCO signs were meant to be anything but fun.
You remember FUN, don't you?? It's like when you're in a bar watching a football game and there are folks rooting for the other team in the bar with you; friendly "traitor" jabs are tossed back and forth, joking insinuations are made, and in the end you all laugh together and say "bye" when you leave.
Here are some facts that some (all?) of you didn't get from the pictures:
1) It was very hot that day so Canopy provided drinks for everyone, including the protesters. And yes, protesters took them up on the drinks, and they even said "thanks".
2) SCO and Canopy employees (including Ralph Yarro and Darl McBride, among others) shared laughs with the picketters. No, I didn't see Chris Sontag or Blake Stowell out there, but I don't know them so I could have just missed them.
3) Darl, on his way home, stopped by the picketting near 1600 N. (he didn't have to; he could have driven by and nobody would have noticed) and chatted with the protesters. There are at least two pictures of him with his arms around a few of the protesters, and all of them are happy.
Sorry folks, but other than a reporter who got heat stroke, the people who showed up had a good time. The folks there mixed with SCO, Canopy, etc. employees from around the office complex, had some fun with the "rivalry", and went on their merry way happy. At least that was my observation.
The intent of the protest was to bring attention to the opinions of those who oppose SCO's actions, not to threaten, throw things, fight, or yell. In that regard, the protest was more successful than I would have hoped. Nobody walked away with a different opinion of SCO's actions, but people can disagree without hating each other.
At least here in Utah they can."
Seems to put the SCO-signs in another perspective.
The Economist article said: The main attraction of open source, as he says, is the fact that it is "great for innovation", not its questionable claim to be free."
Anyone else annoyed with the writers confusion on free software/gratis software throughout the article.
Well guess it's viewpoint of the Economist. No wonder they interpret free as "free (as in beer)".
How come 3000 victims of 9/11 got more coverage than the 30000 third world children who died of starvation that same day?
Maybe it's because of the rareness of the event!? 30000 children die of hunger every fscking day, and I bet that likewise there's 7 dead coal miners every day (from accidents or bad health condition).
A space shuttle blowing up doesn't happen often, so when it does it's news. We've just seem to become numb to everyday injustice, even though that's what should matter the most.
Sad!
Any good amateur rocket/astronomy folks out there? If you shot something from Antartica opposite the direction of the tip of India at 450km/sec, on October 22, 1993, 09:55:57 GMT, where would it go?
Why go along with this, when in the future it migth only produce 2 MW, with a whole array of these?
Companies like NEG-micon is producing wind-turbines that can produce 2,5 MW, rigth now.
With 50 of them in an off-shore park, you've got a 100 MW plant.
In my country (Denmark), we get around 50% of our energy from wind power. That is on a windy day, though:-)

You're right about the Fourier-stuff.
But I think you misunderstood the "band limited" thing.
When you sample you have to the filter out frequencies above the Nyquist-freq., if you want to avoid aliasing-problems.
Aliasing comes from the mirroring of the spectrum around n*Fsample. So if you don't want your original signal to get distorted when sampling, one have to use an anti-aliasing filter, that "band-limits" the signal to below Fsample/2.
Does this new technique mean, you can skip anti-aliasing filters?

Hell, if that's true, then what's the fuss about crack. Let's make it legal...
I think we should have a war on warfare, so we can stop all these "wars on [everything]" once and for all.
Harassing people outside the US with the DMCA and the like. When will they get, that US law only applies in USA? I think these swedish guys speak for all of us, when they say 'go fuck yourself' to these fuckers:e .txt

Maybe the dehydration is outweighted by the exercise you get from all the times you have to go take a piss?

Nice...
Didn't know that.
So your signal BW just have to be confined to Nyquist-interval, for this to work!?
