A few months ago, I was wondering what happened to this tech, so I went searching. Turns out it has been in development for about 20 years, and it was first estimated to be out in the late 90's.
I'm too lazy to look for a link.. Well, Wikipedia should say something about it...
uhmm... ya Calculus was first period, and I skipped more than 75% of the time. y=2x makes a line on a graph. y=x^2 creates a exponential curve (parabola).

I don't know how you came up with 9.6... its almost e*d but that would be about 9.514 (pi)d is very close to 11 inches. Most hdd's spin at 7,200 rpm. Thats 120 rps... to reach the speed of sound at 0c it would have to be about 1186.6 rps about 1251 rps at 30c, so just like Karma Farmer said a 3.5" disk would need to spin about 10 times as fast as they do now to break the sound barrier.

I tried that about a minute before you posted, didn't work. I guess there's a delay in Coral's system.
still going forward

Most researchers today would agree that artificial neural networks are quite different from the brain in terms of structure. Like the brain, however, a neural net is a massively parallel collection of small and simple processing units where the interconnections form a large part of the network's intelligence; however, in terms of scale, a brain is massively larger than a neural network, and the units used in a neural network are typically far simpler than neurons. Nevertheless, certain functions that seem exclusive to the brain such as learning, have been replicated on a simpler scale, with neural networks.
We took the basic idea from biology, but currently we don't understand how the brain works well enough to model anything on them directly. This is just another step in that direction; to try to figure out how neurons respond to stimuli or 'input'. It will be a long time before we develop something like a human brain, with 100 billion 'simple processing units'.
That is unless we start using DNA in machines.

Inverse Square Law, General
"Any point source which spreads its influence equally in all directions without a limit to its range will obey the inverse square law. This comes from strictly geometrical considerations. The intensity of the influence at any given radius r is the source strength divided by the area of the sphere. Being strictly geometric in its origin, the inverse square law applies to diverse phenomena. Point sources of gravitational force, electric field, light, sound or radiation obey the inverse square law."
You must have been thinking more along the lines of the law of parsimony -- "Adoption of the simplest assumption in the formulation of a theory or in the interpretation of data, especially in accordance with the rule of Ockham's razor."
Ernst Mach advocated a version of Occam's razor which he called the Principle of Economy, stating that "Scientists must use the simplest means of arriving at their results and exclude everything not perceived by the senses." Taken to its logical conclusion this philosophy becomes positivism; the belief that there is no difference between something that exists but is not observable and something that doesn't exist at all. Mach influenced Einstein when he argued that space and time are not absolute but he also applied positivism to molecules. Mach and his followers claimed that molecules were metaphysical because they were too small to detect directly. This was despite the success the molecular theory had in explaining chemical reactions and thermodynamics. It is ironic that while applying the principle of economy to throw out the concept of the ether and an absolute rest frame, Einstein published almost simultaneously a paper on Brownian motion which confirmed the reality of molecules and thus dealt a blow against the use of positivism.
The moral of this story is that Occam's razor should not be wielded blindly. As Einstein put it in his Autobiographical notes
"This is an interesting example of the fact that even scholars of audacious spirit and fine instinct can be obstructed in the interpretation of facts by philosophical prejudices."

Rev 6:12 I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.
I don't know how he saw the color of the moon without light from the sun, but I guess when your just repeating old prophecy it doesn't matter
So are you running Kazza(unleaded) 24/7? I've only found one user sharing it, but of course it's queued.
I've tried severeal mirrors and the most I've got is 40KB before the connection times out. Maybe I should try a d/l manager. I wonder if it's on gnutella... yeah!! And the speed isn't half bad
The world would be a better place if more people shared their bandwidth.
The current rate at which the Earth day is increasing is 0.0018 seconds/century. The semi-major axis of the lunar orbit is increasing by 3.8 centimeters/year according to laser ranging measurements made since the 1970's using the Apollo 'corner cube reflectors' deposited on the surface by the astronauts. It is expected that in 15 billion years, the orbit will stabilize at 1.6 times its present size, and the Earth day will be 55 days long equal to the time it will take the Moon to orbit the Earth. Of course, in less than 6 billion years, the Sun will have evolved into a red giant star and engulfed the Earth-Moon system, thereby incinerating it!
I haven't done any statistical calculations, but I think the earth would catch anything big enough to change the moon's orbit significantly. Even if the moon happened to get in the middle some how, then its more likely that the moon would eventually end up hitting the earth than 'flying off' into space anyway.
BTW, The moon has little to do with the weather, the oceans would still circulate without tidal forces. On the bright side, without the moon, there wouldn't be very many earthquakes or volcanos.

Damn slimy tadpoles, polluting our ponds.
Bwahh haha
temperature alone?
uhm...
no
its because the volume of the products in the chemical reaction is so much larger than the reactants
