  1. Re:It's that simple. on Black Hole in Search of a Home · · Score: 1

    Constant leaking could lead to this... And as we see it in the universe this could be the normal case. But you're partially right: We can't know it, and there must be some momentum killer for this to happen. (Even if it's only the light-energy and supernova-material from the stars...)

    > I wish there was a port of the Mechwarrior series to handhelds.

    And how would you control the game?

    I remembered using the joystick for the feet, the keyboard for the commands and modes AND the mouse for the torso. And i still could turn the head with a coolie hat on the joystick.

    There's no way i could imagine *such* a handheld-controller! ;)

    Well, on the new pc of a friend of mine word of warcraft and maya 7 run fine on linux. And they are pretty new aren't they?

    > Just as there are busses for people who can't afford cars, there is Open Office for people who can't afford Microsoft.

    Additionally he does not have to share his system with others or gets less compfort and quality from it, as he would have if he would take a bus.

    Neither would i take OOo because i *can't afford* ms-office, but rather because 1. there's no way i gonna support a criminal company and 2. i don't like to waste money if i can use it for so much better stuff that's really *worth* it 3. OOo is (nearly) the best alternative. (to me a open smartsuite UI with all OOo functions would be what i call perfect)

    So your way of seeing you as someone better because you can afford ms-office and let M$ vamp yourself - my poor friend - is clearly an illusion.

  5. It's that simple. on Black Hole in Search of a Home · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The host galaxy is *inside* the black hole. It got "eaten" completely. To me this sounds pretty realistic if it's a huge black hole...

  16. Re:The Article is a troll on Supernova 1987A Decoded · · Score: 1

    To clearify it: in matters of plain logic Aardpig is right in all his conclusions, but the dark matter thing.
    Here ifwm is right.

    This also disturbes me very much: Dark matter and dark energy always look like cheating, because it's a kind of making up something you can't prove because your observations are wrong, and ignoring the fact that there is nothing that forces it to be the cause of the difference between your observations and your expectations. (sorry i'm not that good in english, it's my third language)

    sure. it's only a theory. but i hardly believe that there ever will be proof for it. it's rather a waste of time to me.

    i guess as soon as the relativity theory and the quantum theories are merged, this will solve itself. no matter what's the outcome.

  17. Re:I can see it now! on Korea Post Office Supports XPCOM Based E-Banking · · Score: 1

    To me this looks a bit like that suppressing kind of arguing where moral is irrelevant and profit is everything, that lets every human with some sense of indebtedness feel some pain inside.

    It's that feeling of: "this just isn't right!" even if it's "correct and makes sense"

    To me poeple who decide in that style even are near to criminal in cases of legitimity and fairness.

    Yes, maybe I'm just a lone idealist in a dog-eat-dog society. But I'm proud of it an if I die poor (in cases of money) because of this, at least I die happy (in most other cases) and with a clear conscience.

    (Did I mention that i would bet that i could bring up unbeatable arguments arguments to everyone, that business in it's base is one of the two main supports of pure evil in this world? [dumbness is the other one an ist mostly required as the culture medium for it])

    > SUVs are not for carrying cargo, the S stands for 'Sport'.

    And you absolutely *need* that because you're doing that much *sport* and it would be an *abuse* of your human-rights to tell you: go drive a *normal* car?

    Sure... allright... yes... absolutely... ;P

    Did you know that ford has an 1.4 liter (~0.37 us gallons) fiesta in his drawers sincd 1996? they even had a ready-for-the-road prototype, as far as i'm informed. If you imagine adding heat- and break-energy recycling in that car, then it's a shame that nowadays anything above 3 liters (~0.8 us gallons) drives on the roards of a modern state where poeple could afford it...

    And by the way: As far as i know from reading about it:
    In a comparision between solar, hydrogen, other fuel cells and the above solution, nowadays the above solution is the *most energy efficient* and hydrogen fuel cells are the *worst energy efficient* solution. (just to open the eyes of everyone thinking that it's otherwise around)
    i also read that this is because oil/fat is the most efficient energy container that exists.

    so we have to stay on some form of this as an energy source for mobile systems or we still really have to do a lot of research...

    To repeat it for the 1001st time: An optical mouse does *not* use a *laser*!!! It's a simple led.
