  1. Re:dimensions on Evidence of 6 Dimensions or More? · · Score: 1

    hope i don't make a fool of myself among the illustrious /. crowd ;) I do try to document myself... but i do not fill pages or drives with calculations mind you... Just a relativistic view... Since i'll never publish a science breakthrough, i guess it wont hurt my scientific reputation imposing a new theory ;) And if we look at fractals, dimension also becomes a dimension. Other semi-dimensions include things like polynomials where each "digit" is a dimension, and we could also imply that any system of behaviors have their dimensions. What if the spectrum of particle radiation (aka the energy spectrum of waves (infrasound to cosmic rays)) was incomplete? This in view that the scales lower or higher than our view of infinity is "limited" in the "scale" dimension... The so called infinitesimally small and large... When we view an object, we say it is in xyz... T for time if you want... We do say at what relative scale - since we don't have a "concept" of the dimension scale but do we translate that in "our scale" to compare a relationship of causality. So if gravity or time work on different scales differently, how does that reflect in the rest of the 3 dimensions "we" see in our own limited way? For example the speed of light may fluctuate over time and scale... We now have proven that under different conditions, it may not move fast at all. Can light go through dark matter? Sure, if dark matter is significantly smaller... So how small is a photon? Zero-weight? really? Then why is there radiation pressure? Something must interact... Another dimension which could be related to gravity would be in density, temperature. Different atomic densities of sub-atomic particles surely wont interact the same way in a "noisy" subatomic particle space. Maybe i don't know much (who does?) about physics and the universe other than there's probably an infinite number of dimensions... Every prime and its inverse (what of all real numbers?) are a different look at relationships among particles or any systems. The problem is that we don't know what is "one". The most basic element... why is a photon so energetic? We still don't know what's smaller than subatomics stuff or do we? But we know there is anti-matter. We know also there is a positive x, y, z and a negative xyz for each... Why are these particles traveling so fast? how can more energy be stored in a sub atomic particle than our human scale particles? I mean a kilo of TNT is not that potent in comparison to an atom-scale kilo of atom fissioned or fusioned right? But we do know the difference in scales comparing both the effect (how far you better stand from the reaction point). The problem is that the atomic relationships of atoms are not decimal or that logic in progression, if we count isotopes on top it may be flatter in terms of topology but still there is no easy linear progression or "scaled" dimension... In other words, the progression from atom 1 to 100 is not linear in any way (natural elements do not have linear properties for example). How sterile and un-reactive or un-original would the universe be then compared to the stochastic entropy we live in? The problem is that nature is analog... or is it? I say there's a "1" dimension which is not based on the real law of numbers but of scales - there are stable atoms with equal numbers of particles after all. Something must be forcing the rest to be different... Has this been researched? I'm sure they'll find musical relationships to quantas soon. But it's interesting to see how music and scales of densities/wave energies inter-play... Meanwhile different oscillations are making our universe, made of smaller particles or big ones (planets are subatomic particles? solar systems are atoms?) is there a never ending mirror in the scale of the universe? A weird blobby-dimension Klein-bottle type thing that doesn't correspond to one single dimension in which we cycle our energy and particles? Scales are logarithmic if i'm not mistaken. But at scale 1 they are a

    Anyone just needs to get there to claim it actually if it's considered dead or to costly to salvage by NASA right? Let's send Dirk Pitt do it! ;)

  3. Land it safely! Dont kill the Dolphins! on Hubble Verdict: De-Orbit · · Score: 1

    Why not make a safe lander? A smart hard chute to slow it down to vertical fall speed and then just catch it or release soft chute or air foil or sails and pillows under to keep it intact! Im sure there's enough spare shopping plastic bags out there to make a nice pillow!

    Then NASA could sell it on ebay or Soderby's to get more budget!

    Seems such a waste of money to hurl such big cult instrument in astronomy to kill fish in open seas!!! I mean if they ban dynamite in lakes, they can't send fireballs of metal plasma into a cool ocean either right?

  4. Get wiser on Spam and Spyware Too Much for Some Users · · Score: 1

    While i loved Steve's Apples from 81 on to 91, still do, I've learned that PCs have been the bang for the buck with plenty more options and price value than any mac i've seen - despite all the cowxrements that come out of marketing and publicity which dumb people buy as the gospel. Professionally, either makes sense, personally, if you are marketing gullible or not PC oriented, get a Mac. If you are serious about computing a bit further for a more economic and wider approach, the PC and the clone market is unbeatable - no questions asked! Unless you like the free and costless time consuming Linux who still can't read decapitalized text for what it's worth!

    And if spyware is your fear, just go mozilla, or firefox with adblock - no more pops, no more ads, no more market polution to clog the net! Buy a good antivirus (do your research which fits best) and a worthy firewall. Learn to use them like kungfu!

    Still that wont help if you dont read and learn that a bit of prevention is worth terabytes of regrets!

    The buddists said it first 2000 years ago! "if it's printed, beware!" In other words, read first and complain less after!

    Now, if only companies would listen to support's clients' suggestions and apply them once and for all, we wouldn't have this crapware or passware (passoire in french - a drain bowl for spaggs like, get it, chuck chuck!)

    I will never buy one of their titles. You have my support!

    Given US Law or how I perceive it, and the written contract you have, the hours below which you get compensation should be mandatorily written in shouldn't they?

    Im sure that if all overworked personel would just do a "strike", you'd get management's agreement quickly and your 40 hours too!

    They can't sue everyone!

    If they do, they will loose because of public exposure to their practices, they will loose in court thanks to overwelming "shindler" list of overworked and abused workers, they will look like slave owners, they will be stripped of all their capital because of the human rights lawsuits, they will be linched in the market because they can't seem to make a deadline - if you "the company" that makes the product all strike!

    This is a clear breach of the right to privacy. How can this be fought? The ephytomy of it all is that he got the post of communications minister!

    Is the lack of all that bug-inducing syntax...
    Execution maybe slower than compiled c or assembler but the time required to develop ANY application is definitely worth the time! No searching for a misplaced comma! Code is totally self-explanatory (it's in english!) Even dynamically compiled scripts (build by your program during runtime) are easy to debug!

    put "I hate punctuation in program" into myhead

  13. MetaCard will do it all! on Cross-Platform GUI Toolkits (Again)? · · Score: 1

    Since HyperCard died and C++ didn't make life any easier, java is still so ugly duck, i turned to MetaCard for all my coding needs. It's HyperCard's next evolution - fast, easy, light and I know very few limits whether in number of platforms supported, compatibility, range of applicability, or even depth of project structure... You're limited only by your imagination with this product! Since the IDE is made out of itself, you can customize it to the gut like RunRevolution did.
