    I don't know whats so special about the number 47 but you get all sorts or multiples of 47 with resistors, 470, 4.7k, 47k, 470k... 470k is close to 500, which is half of 1000... Look I just plucked a number out my head. There is no reason other than its the first number to come into my head.

    Thats it, you charge the air around the point of your ioniser, its charge repels it fron the ionising point. If there is nothing to charge there is nothing to ionise and nothing ionised to push away to give the equal-and-opposite force.

    If something with mass got to the speed of light it would have infinate mass and therefore an infinte gravitational force and therefore would pull everything to it infinatly fast and we'd all be infinatly fucked. .....Maybe.

    My WinTV Go card was the same on windows 98 & XP.
    I'd have to think "Can I risk a crash right now?" before opening the WinTV software. I don't know if it was the WinTV drivers or the software but all I know is it was not stable at all.
    I also remember when moving over to linux and reading my connexant winmodem wouldn't work thinking "Ahh man, I won't be able to watch TV in linux" I was pleasantly surprised. XawTV/Zapping are stable as anything. :-) Yay for the dudes that wrote the bttv/hauppauge driver.

  9. Re:and this my friends is why on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 1

    Also, it isn't actually true that a computer cannot simulate soomething more complex than itself. If time is no object, it can simulate something a million times more complex than itself in a very long period of time. Who's to say that maybe a single second in our simulated world takes a million, maybe even a billion years to compute in "real time"?

    And where is the computer going to store this data that is more complex than itself? Even if you could store the universes data atom for atom in the computers memory you'd need a computer at least equal to the complexity of the universe..

    "Technically, DVD+RW aren't even DVDs, since, in order to be a DVD, it must be approved by the DVD Forum. The +RW alliance, will have you believe otherwise; that they don't have to follow any standards and that the DVD Forum means nothing." Actually on the physical disk DVD-R/W is more like a CDR/W than a DVD. DVD+R/+RW is much more like a DVD-ROM than DVD-R/W. And to call it +R/RW it needs to follow the specs from the dvd+rw alliance" It may only have 85% compatablity buts thats because 15% of players when they come up against a booktype they don't know (DVD+R/W) they'll not even try to play it. if you're burning +R/W's on linux and using growisofs and the other dvd+r tools try using dvd+rw-booktype to set you dvd+r/rw's booktyep to DVD-ROM. You'd be surprised how effective it is. Take it easy.

    You make a lot of sense dude. If noone else seems to understand your meaning know that at least I do. Heh.

    Personnally I want stuff to work straight away with default settings too.
    It would be very frustrating to have the ability to fine tune a tool for myself taken away.

    Especially the actual desktop itself.

    If people are worried about confusing fools with too many options the current complete settings should be put under "all options" (or something like that) and under "basic options" (or something similar) can have cut down "simple" dialogues.
