but if matter tended to group together that much you'd expect larger stars to be more common than smaller stars.
Well that may be the case, however the bigger a star is the faster and hotter it burns its nuclear fuel and hence the shorter its life. Therefore there may actually have be more high mass stars in total over time, but at any one time there is going to be more of the stable long lived low mass stars.
Ok this is a good thing. However has anyone had any luck making and runnign debugging dlls with MSVC 5.0? I can make and run.qvm's perfectly however I cannot make Q3A find any dll's, anyone worked out how to do this yet?
Well if its being run from a computer that system has one hell of an uptime as I can't recall a crash from any point in my lifetime. Definantly not a Microsoft Based Reality it seems. So it looks like it was open source robots who took over the real world and plugged us all in as human batteries...
Actually Germany DID know that there was an invasion imminent, theres no way to hide that kind of massive military buildup and training from regular spys. The problem was they had know idea where on the French coast they would be landing and the Allies has a whole big disinformation campain going to confuse the Germans on that particular fact.
They didn't, what they saw was the actual amount of light being received at Earth by the star being reduced. This is caused by the planet crossing the line between the star and Earth so that some of the light from the star was being blocked, hence making the star appear slightly dimmer.
Well since this is a computer program, it would presumably written by geeks if it actually works. Therefore you would think they may have coded it to make sure it does not flag geeks over jocks, despite what some unbalanced administrator feeds it. I would like to see what they think after their entire neanderathal (sp?) football team is marked as dangerous.
I have to agree with you on this one. If Linus has never made Linux open source it would have lasted 6 months, a year tops until he got bored with it, as noone else would have been interested in this totally unsupported and proprietry unix variant
is offering a $100,000 prize to the first programmer that can pass the Turing Test.
Hmmm well i'm a programmer and i'm reasonably sure I can pass as a human when I communicate by a text interface, so I'm sure I could win that prize easy.
If it was that far ahead might it have not been hit by the dreaded Y10K bug? Since noone has bothered to put a 5th year digit in their dat fields it would have overflowed and thought it heading to where mars was in 9999BCE or so. Since it was expecting landing guidance from the Martian civilization that was at its height in that era. It would also have simply ignored any Earthly guidance as any signals from Earth in that time would have been an accident on the part of some pre-metalurgic hunter-gathererers who know nothing about celestial navigation.
And too bad I've posted under this article already. Maybe we should be allowed to moderate under article we have posted in, but just not our own messages....
Does anyone know in what area it would have gone down if it would have managed to hit the ground in basicly one piece? If this was anywhere even vaguely near Cydonia, Art Bell and his ilk will have a field day on this one...
Well I was under the impression that Phoebos and Deimos were both captured asteroids. Hence they would not neccesarily fall into a nice even orbit like Earth's moon as they could have been captured when incoming on any strange trajectory.
Ah yes, if it ever comes back up it will crash in the logical sense rather than the physical sense as thousands of/.ers attempt to study its generally meaningless (to most of us) telementry.
Temporal Filters have been around for a while even going back 10 years. A simple time average computation isn't actually that difficult if the angle/position of all the shots are identical, as you would expect to have the 'correct' image on average while the fuzzyness caused by atmospheric affects would be random.
If they start using TEXT ads instead of those big graphical banner ads I will continue to use them, as it will only be slightly slower and possibly still maintain a somewhat clean interface.

Heh like that'll be hard, just uncomment/enable all the grapple code thats already in there. And there you go Q3A Grapple 1.0 ;]
Uh, that is the _correct_ spelling of colour. At least for anyone whose head of state is still the Queen of England anyway...

Well Carmack will then have to tweak the protocol stack so enable four-dimensional routing. ie handling packets that come from the near future.
How about a URL to one of these lists then?
Go take a look at his Schedule and check out the dodgy (perl?) scripting thats going on:
01:09 AM Invalid Date/Time object: 01/03/19100
01:09 AM Invalid Date/Time object: 01/03/19100
01:38 AM Invalid Date/Time Object: 01/03/19100
We'll remember them only as long as you Americans dont try and credit the Wright Brothers with inventing powered flight.
I think you are refering to John Romero, not Carmack...
You just have to explain how this one works....

Well not much really, since you also would not notice that anything has happened for those 7 or 8 minutes...
2. the phone system which had to be replaced because it would have totally failed Jan 1, 1999
Can you please explain why the system would have failed at the start of this year? Too many 9's in the year string?
