  1. Re:don't think so... on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 1
    The energy stored in matter is incredible. We just don't have a good way to get it out.

    Have you never seen a nuclear power station?

    If they had developed "free" energy, they would just sell it back to the national grid and retire rich.

    I bet this is a bunch of lads who got pissed down the pub and decided to see how many stupid people they can trick with a fancy web page.

  2. Re:such criticisms... on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1
    Evolution is no longer just a theory, it's an observation: we've observed it happen in both artificial and natural systems. It is now on a firmer footing than most if not all physical 'theories' bar the second law of thermodynamics.

    I'm sorry to say as a physicist that this is probably true, there are lots of excellent experiments confirming general relativity but thousands of experiments confirming natural selection and the evolution of species.

    I would say evolution is a stronger theory than GR, and i'm pretty confident in gravity. The argument is over, to even debate the issue is like trying to talk to somebody who belives the earth is still flat, pointless.

  3. Re:Large documents on KOffice 1.5 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Trust me, If you are writing a PhD thesis then a word processor is last thing you want to use. Open up a text editor and use LateX.
    It will save you loads of time and grief in the long run. Word documents are fine for 1 page memo's and the like, but if you want a beautiful looking manuscript there is only one option.
    I've seen people literally go mad trying to write their thesis in Word once the page count gets high.

    the Catholic Church in Rome discourages the teaching of ID.

    The Catholic Church are many things, but they are not stupid.

  6. Kohn on Top 100 Papers in Physics Ranked · · Score: 2, Informative

    One of the many reasons Kohn is highly referenced is due to the Kohn Variational Method* which is used in scattering calculations. A large number of papers have been written on scattering theory.

    * The Hulthen Kohn variational methods are a family of variational principles based on the stationary properties of the reactance or Kohn matrix K. :-)

  7. Re:Is anything getting lost here? on Mirror.ac.uk To Close · · Score: 1
    So I wonder... is anything in mirror.ac.uk going to be lost for good when it closes?

    We should mirror it!

  8. Re:Um... on Mozilla Cracks Down On Merchandise Sellers · · Score: 1

    Does anybody know the history behind the use of "Mozilla" in the user agent string of browsers such as IE. Does it go all the way back to the NCSA code base?
