As the radiation approaches a star, it would have an effect on the star even before it got to the star. Given the diameter of a star, plus the fact that it hasn't reached the star yet, there would be some precursor data which we could measure.
What do you mean by "precursor data?" Some sort of data that will be travelling faster than the speed of light? It would have to be to get here before the original light that caused the effect which is already travelling toward us.
Yes, the foot-in-your-ass analogy was flawed (as well as childish), but the fact remains that you would not see effect "B" (caused by light "A") before light "A" got here because effect "B" has to follow the same laws of physics as "A" does and will therefore get here 'bout* the same time or later than "A".
*Please note from my use of the word "'bout" that I have no idea of the physics behind this, just that I understand what others have been saying in response to your post.
Though not quite as irritating to me as the "swinging" sequences in the old '80s Spiderman animated TV show. Y'know the ones where Spidey was swinging along an alien landscape or in the Amazon (same background for both, just different colors)? He was always the highest thing around. What the hell was he swinging from?!?
I agree with what you say (especially about the McCloud books), but I gotta say that I perceived the line you quote from the review as being a joke. I mean, he goes on to say that it's perhaps the most important book on any subject ever written? Sounds like a joke to me.
The previous version was also for a very small group of people and had a crack. Therefore you cannot say that the reason for no crack is the small target group. That *could* be the reason. Maybe the rewritten code is the reason. Maybe, since it's been two years since the cracked version was updated, nobody is using it any more. We'll really never know, will we?
I'm pretty sure that there are windows between the fellas and their guns.
I could be wrong. I've only seen Star Wars about 30 times, and therefore am a rank amature in/. compan and will certainly bow (figuratively) to greater authority.
Windows chugs right along and does what its supposed to do, but it does those things badly, or slowly, or grossly.
Slowly? OK, I'm an XP user who has installed various flavors of Linux over the last 5 years or so. Here's my question regarding speed: Everyone here is always saying that Linux is faster. Why is it (a lot) slower for me? I've usually done pretty by-the-numbers workstation installs (RedHat mostly). I have a PIII 600/256MB RAM with an 80BG HDD. Why is it that Linux simply crawls while XP runs at a decent speed on my machine? I know my machine is getting dated, but it's the comparison between the two OSes on the same system that I'm wondering about. If I could figure out teh sped issue, there is really no other reason why I wouldn't want to switch to Linux full-time. Is Linux supposed to be faster?
Actually, it's a legitimate point and not just based on a dictionary entry. There is a lot of concern and discussion within Semitic groups over the western world's use of "Anti-Semitic" to refer exclusively to Jews.
But since "Universe" is singular by the very nature of the word ("uni"), then you could say "A Multiverse" but not "A Universe." And if you don't like it you can go live in a different Multiverse;)
Actually, being a good Progressive, I will always support your right to say whatever you want, however you want to. You're welcome to stay. Just as long as you don't say "An Universe."

But the phone book allows you to unlist your number.
The list doesn't go into effect until October 1, 2003.

Take a look at what their stock has been doing since they started this shit.
I'm pretty sure that the parent was speaking specifically of games. Not something you usually iMovie running alongside.
And doesn't work on the new G5s.
It's not like they're any great help now.
Not really. A restraining order has to be given by a judge. A blacklist is just some admin or robot. They are totally different.
Agreed. But McDonalds is also a sad commentary on society.
huh?

Understandable, since it was only two sentences out of four and therefore pretty easy to miss ;)
It can be a very serious problem!
Light. Not paint. It's about light. RGB.
Yeah.
That's gonna happen.
Hmmm...let's see if I can help.
1. Charge per-email for all users.
2. All ISPs block any traffic from offending countries, states, ISPs, whatever.
3. Develop POP3 clients that are incapable of downloading e-mail.
4. Ban all unsolicited emails of any kind (which *would* violate free speech of non-spammers).
There's a few. A couple are really reaching, but I feel pretty comfortable saying that they are all bad ideas.
So yes, *your* ideas may be good, but only a moron would say that any solution to stop spam is a good one.
Just out of curiosity...why don't you want flash installed?

Who then, if not humans, would you suggest make grandiose statements?
