If you consider that the Earth/Moon gravitational playground affects the very earth we stand on. It is strong enough to move the oceans, and thats just a tiny moon around a tiny star at the outer edge of a smallish galaxy. Imagine how the tidal forces of these two monsters would be playing and distorting and twisting their surroundings. Hurling entire star systems great distances at a time, suddenly one system comes out from behind the shadow of another system and is thrown into the path of an oncoming blackhole.
I would imagine it would be immense super traumatic twister and if that doesn't cause gravitational waves, then I don't know what will.
Thank you, I make that mistake often. Let me ask you though, why does it bother you so much? You and everyone else knew what I meant so who gains most from you informing us of something I already noticed and ignored?
I would hope for the other way round, but unfortunately it won't happen. The kids who posted this without thinking how it would affect his life are the ones who should be learning from this. Fame is a fickle thing, some people try their whole lives to get it, others try to stay away from it. Being forced into a difficult situation IS bullying, and I hope this kid can grow out of his stereotype.
Everybody does stupid things, but to be reminded about them every single day must be hell.
Isn't a simple battery just salt water and a couple of conductors at either side to create a potential difference.
If they are wrapping these little bags of water in a full metal jacket and giving them a gold hat then that could theoretically become a mini duracell.
That really does depend. A clean XP system with nothing cluttering it can be booted very quickly and a game not long after, compare this with the time it takes to switch discs and reboot a PS2 or an XBox.
I think a better one would be implanting additional eye units for sighted people. That way, you really can have eyes in the back of your head (all parents should understand this one)
What a conundrum. Your sight is restored after 20 years into a 4x4 block.
Would you go back into surgery for more if the chance of losing what you have already is there?
You cannot spend your whole life waiting for better eyesight so learn to adapt to what you have. I am thankful for my (rather poor) eyesight and cannot ever see myself doing anything surgical to enhance it.
When surfing, I open a block of tabs at a time and flick around between them. The digg tab replaces about 4 or 5 other random sites and bloggs I had waiting for a quick glimpse at.
I wonder, would slash consider adding an rss digg feed?

Ok, something I don't like about all this "digg vs slashdot" war thingy is that whilst digg readership has been increasing to match slashdots (both have increased actually), there has been no reduction in slashdot readers. People have been using OTHER time to read digg and not abandoning slash. There is no reason whatsoever for digg to replace slash, they do different jobs and if anything, digg has the fark crowd more than the slash folks.

First I would like to say it is nice to see an employee of a company looking at positive 'and' negative aspects of a product their employeer makes.
A good employer will examine and critique their products against the rest of the marketplace. A better employer allows the results to be made public.

Apart from the obviously silly "An anonymous reader writes " at the start of it. First time I've seen Journals posted, is it a slow news day, or just trying out another new feature?
Of course its valid. Running a program in multiple operating systems requires some sort of virtualisation. Wine does this job and allows a program to be used in multiple operating systems without recompilation.
The only other way I know of uses compiler directives to run through different code flows and it would be easy to see why a program ran slowly on X operating system.
Besides, its UNDERHANDED - nobody said it was a fair competition.
Easy, find a function windows does quickly but Wine stuffs up at. I know its almost an oxymoron, but since Wine doesn't yet do everything it should be possible to code a Windows app that performs flawlessly in Win and shite in Linux.
Only 17 percent of embedded systems designers are currently using embedded Linux, and 66 percent say they are either not interested in using it or do not expect to be using it anytime soon
I don't care what operating system the designers use. Its whether the products they produce run on Linux thats important.
I read a related article earlier which was saying Tux needs to go on a diet. It appears people are making comparisons between linux distributions and MS bloatware.
I tend to agree, I would like to see the consolidation of the best features from all the programs, sort of a best of breed contest without things like 7 different browsers and 43 editors all doing a very similar job but just not quite managing perfection.

Flash, its not just for 6 year olds.
I recall at least 2 occasions when flash amuses and informs all the 6 year old adults here on slash.
(for the curious, the hitachi perpendicular song and the Super Villians Linux fembot thingy(link appears dead atm though))
A photoshopped one at that.
No silly.
Don't you realise when god put all the animals onto the Earth, some obviously missed and were embedded into the rocks.
Its like when ensign redshirt gets beamed inside a mountain.
If MS bought out Sony, the rootkits could become undetectable just like the current US gov ones built into Windows ;)

Next time you have a cold, don't feel bad about sneezing on a colleagues laptop.
Your increasing the power capacity.

Its not that different.
I've done it, now if enough people do it it can become a real tag.
I'm serious.

Also harder to reach and plumb in.
Unless of course you wanted wires coming out of your eye or even worse, a nose cam.
