  6. early models. on Universe Shaped Like A Soccer Ball? · · Score: 1

    I think one of the first models of the universe was A BALL with the eart in the centre, moon and sun revolving arround the earth while the planets had strange trajectories inside the ball. On the interior walls of the ball the stars were painted. This model was easily accepted by the cristian church because there was room left for god, heaven and hell outside the ball. And I thought we progressed a lot in the mean time. STUPID ME!

    I wish Europe would have made it to the 60s but on the other hand is really that inportant to have maned space flights nowadays or is it just goo for publicity?

  17. Re:Meet the new boss, same as the old boss on UN Summit Tones Down Open-Source Stance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fortunately some countries rich/poor are starting to implement the free/OSS model. Some are doing it for political reasons, other for economical reasons, but by doing so it will put more "pressure" on the poor countries's corrupt decision makers when they will have to account for the zillions spent on purchassing crrapy software when they could just opt for the free/OSS model like the "civilized" world.

    How about your standard divx player ;).

  19. hdd vs. dvd on Dual Layer DVD+R Developed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Probably the new 8.5GB drives will cost you an arm and a leg and media will be prohibitive as well. Right know you can get a samsung ide drive of 160GB 7200rpm less than 100$. The cost per GB is not mutch higher of that of the DVDs and with DVDs you have spenf money on the burner as well. More than that the reliability of the drive is much greater, you can write and erase from as mutch as you like, speed is mutch better and to add on top it is more compact (160Gb means arround 35 dvds). Do not spend money on DVD technology.

    Actually I really like diversity so having both xine and mplayer as separate projects is a very good thing.

  22. Re:3G vs. 2G on 3G Waves Causes Headaches, Sharpens Memory · · Score: 1

    You could do Mars bounce out of the orbit :)). Actually if it is EIRP is not that much. 1W SSPA and 5m parabolic dish would do the trick.

    Yea. Wear our lead helmet to protect you from those nasty 3G waves and will also enlarge your penis.

  24. 3G vs. 2G on 3G Waves Causes Headaches, Sharpens Memory · · Score: 2, Informative

    It has nothing to do with 2G over 3G as a technology in itself. It has to do with power levels and high frequencies. Meanining a 2400bps chanell at 30Ghz and an EIRP of 60dbw will mess you up pretty bad while an 11Mbps 802.11 17dbm at 2.4Mhz would not hurt you.
