Well actually it does. Spaceships never travel faster than light in StarTrek. Not even on warp.
The Warpdrive "warps" spacetime and creates a tunnel in space between point A and point B which is actually a shortcut.
Imagine the following.
This is the route between point A and B:
A ----+--------+----- B
The Warpdrive does the following:
A --+-/\--+--- B
It just folds the space.
The ships is traveling below lightspeed but since it's using the warptunnel, for "bystanders" it seems like the ship is actually faster than light. The bigger the fold, the "faster " is the ship
I've read that scientists think that a warpdrive could actually be build but we'd need a whole hell of a lot of energy. Tapping a star might be enough:)
All ships have a maximum speed, which assumes a fixed frame of reference
That makes sense, too. Slower ships just don't produce enough energy to warp larger areas of spacetime
Actually he would not. In one episode he fixed a fuse with tinfoil. Not that i'd ever do that at home
but it certainly works...until your house burns down that is heh.
A world wide power grid mean that the whole world is connected with one power grid.
Right, but the trans-border connections can be opened by pressing a button - on both sides of the border.#
however, we all know that there are conflicts between many countries of the world. The world wide power grid would be soon a strategic element in such conflicts. One country could e.g. try to suck all power out of the grid to black out an opponent and make a preventive strike against them
And what would stop the victim to open up its connection to the outside? Interesting thought though. How could one waste thousands of MegaWatts? I mean it's not like it'd be enough to short out some wires heh, how can one "evaporate" thousands of MegaWatts? The only way to do that would be to nuke the plants i'd say.
So if Bush strikes Iraq, then France, Russia and China would be sitting in the dark.
LOL may i remind you that france, russia and china
have enough plants to supply their own needs?
They'd cut the grid at the border, problem solved.
I think I dodn't have to point out further how dangerous this would be.
No you don't, because its nonsense. A worldwide grid would benefit everyone who is hooked up.
Poor countries w/o stable powersupplies would benefit a *lot* (they'd still have to pay for the current).
The big blackout in the USA wouldn't have happened since europe has enough overproduction of power which could have helped to solve the problem within *minutes* and not days...
You Sir, apear the be a Troll
I'd rather see AOL do the same though - a good half of my spam still comes from AOL addresses.
*sigh* No they don't come from AOL, its almost impossible to spam from an AOL account since the AOL OPs are on the lookout 27/7.
The "From:" header is faked, thats all.
(It's alway good to have a *valid* From: FQDN since most ISPs don't accept mail from hosts which do not
resolve, so the SPAM gets bounced)
All the rips & encodes I do play just fine in WinAmp.:)
Uh Oh...You've just said the bad "W" word. Remeber, this is Slashdot, not alt.windows.users.suicide;)
I don't think that they'll give script kiddies any chance at all. It won't be to hard to set up the
victim server in a way that no "script" exploit will work. At least it *should* be no problem for insiders of the cracking/hacking scene.
But, AFAIK, most industrial countries have already fibre-to-the-hub, and some have partially fibre-to-the-curb. This is necessary for telcos providing DSLs, in order to carry the bandwidth without having to run several hundreds lines of copper.
After East-Germany and West-Germany became one state (fall of the wall? dunno what you call it in english...)
a lot of telco equipment in East-Germany was so old and broken that it had to be replaced.
Now most people in East-Germany have fibre as their last mile. To bad that DSL doesn't work that way.
LOL imagine your house is connected to top notch state-of-the-art fibre lines and you can't get DSL because of your *high tech* last mile.
Slashdot Mirror
Now why the hell was my last post a flamebait?
The perl command is missing a linebreak.
perl -e '$_="\007/4`\cp%2,".chr(127);s/./"\"\\c$&\""/gees; print'
You should add a linebreak to your sig.

In germany they've rolled out brand new Dell's running W2K a few month ago.
The theory of relativity simply does not exist.

Long live the bash:
/usr/src/linux-2.5.70 -type f -exec cat \{\} \; >>/tmp/kernel_2.5.70.txt /tmp/kernel_2.5.70.txt /tmp/kernel_2.5.70.txt
/tmp/kernel_2.5.70.txt |grep -v ^#|grep -v ^$|wc -l
$ find
$ wc -l
5723169
So there are almost 5.8 million lines of code (including comments and empty lines) in linux
$ cat
4441427
Ugh, 1281742 lines of comments and empy lines...wow
(There may be better ways to do this but hey, it gets the work done)
MacGyver would hire an electrician.
Actually he would not. In one episode he fixed a fuse with tinfoil. Not that i'd ever do that at home but it certainly works...until your house burns down that is heh.
In the "good old days" (~ 30 years ago) that was the regular way to check the voltage. And no, i'm not kidding :)
I have heard that after some time you get used to it up to the point that you can actually touch a live wire w/o getting hurt.

The game in both win and linux are less stable than san andreas fault
I'm running ET/Linux on a P4 with a G4Ti4800 and it's rock solid.
it is about time that someone writes a good benchmark tool for linux
;-)
Whats wrong with glxgears?

If they had that laser at Auschwitz the final solution would have worked.
Holy shit! I just laughed my ass off.
But it's a damn sick joke if you think about it
but a straight kde compile on THIS machine took only like 6 hours total I think.
apt-get install kde: ~5 minutes on 600er Celeron.

Or debian. Which is up and running in seconds thanks to pppoeconf. No special tweaks needed to get DSL going.
" ..sorry your tires are not authorized to be used on this model due to 'safety reasons', please replace with authorized ford tires for this model.. "
Yeah right. Remeber the "exploding" Ford Explorer tires?
Talk about "safety reasons"....
script kiddy heaven

I'm kinda surprised, I would expect Germany to be one of the first countries to get broadband right. You guys have all the smart engineers right?
Well, we do have good broadband here in germany. But it's mainly DSL and not Cable.
The reason for this is, that our cable network doesn't have the required back channel.
I heard a few weeks ago that Germany banned the playing of "Counter-strike"
Well that's true. Don't ask me why they did that. Well it's not completly banned IIRC. If you are older than 18, you still can play / buy it.
But, AFAIK, most industrial countries have already fibre-to-the-hub, and some have partially fibre-to-the-curb. This is necessary for telcos providing DSLs, in order to carry the bandwidth without having to run several hundreds lines of copper.

And internet by cable is *very* rare in Germany.

Tasteless, indeed.

No more viruses that claim to come from your friends.
Year right...as if a virus/worm which completly 0wnz your Windoze box can't fake the authentication. Gotta love the "Remember my password" option...
