so, what would happen to a galaxy with a supermassive blackhole in the middle and a surrounding accretion disk... since the hole is basically swallowing the surrounding rotating matter, after all that matter has been swallowed?
and what happens to the universe when all the black holes have swallowed everything?
do the black holes start eating each other until there's only one left?

From an article dated October 14, 2003:
The mission will also herald the debut of authentic Chinese food in space, another Web site reported.
"They'll be able to eat shredded pork with garlic sauce and kungpao chicken," China.com, said. "It will be more tasty than Western food. After the meal, green tea will be available to increase the astronaut's spirits."
Eye doctors do more than just prescribe eyeglasses. They can also diagnose eye diseases and conditions, and refer patients to more specialized medical treatments. For example, the fact that someone's eyesight is decreasing could be due to blood vessels bursting inside the eye as a result of diabetes. A simple machine that just measures your eyeglass prescription cant check that.
Comparing this with bloodpressure devices is silly. Any data about a specific measurement of a condition in the body has to be assessed along with other contextual data (other symptoms or lack thereof) to determine if there's a problem.
So, until you can have a machine that can read all possible physical data outputs from a person's body, and analyse in real time all possible medical problems based on those measurements, I doubt doctors of any field will become obsolete.
a more important existential question is
on
Brine on Mars?

I would ve harvested the emails of as many members of the ruling communist party as possible, and used those relays to spam them with anti-communist propaganda. I believe the consequences would've been swift and ruthless.
Unfortunately I cant read/write Chinese, and this idea wouldnt work in less repressive regimes...
we have roughly 3 years before the HST becomes unusable.
also, the construction of the ISS, IIRC, is not "complete" yet.
wouldnt it be obvious to build another, better Hubble-like telescope and attach it to the ISS instead of some other planned component, or if the ISS vibrates too much, maybe have it tethered?
the ISS has permanent people on board to fix, or at least to do in situ assessments, should any problem arise.
plus the Progress can provide supplies if parts are needed.
"I have a mailing list with 30000 people. Do I have to pay 0.01 cents an email ?"
That's like, 3 dollars, dude.
Unless you meant one cent per email? Then yea, it's slightly more expensive by two more figures... but then consider how much it would cost you to send 30000 envelopes by snailmail.
If you really have to mail a message to 30000 people you know expect and want to read it, then wouldnt it be easier for you to have them regularly log onto your website or VPN or whathaveyou to check for new messages?
maybe NASA vexed him in some way, and it's his way of getting his revenge, by getting the tin-foily sci-fi crowd to endlessly send FOIA requests for the Mars vegetation photos...
"We know you have those veggie Mars photos! Dont lie to us! Arthur C. Clark *saw* them!"
ah there you go... polar ice melting increases greenhouse effect which increases global warming which increases polar ice melting which shuts down the gulf stream which decreases temperatures which creates more arctic ice...
the next Ice Age will solve the problem of global warming!!!

so, umm, how would your microorganisms speed up the venus rotation?
or do you have another plan for that thorny issue?
I hope they send them to a British pound-me-in-the-ass prison!
better yet, they should find a way to take an enemy's satellite, and de-orbit it in his general direction!
dammit
you know slashdot is farked when everyone thinks about fart jokes first all at the same time.
to reply to all those spammy emails with the smell set to:

there's also oxygen in CO2, which, as the main constituent of the Mars atmosphere, you dont have do dig out of the soil to get at.
Water in the topsoil means you can bring a drill, a pump and a desalination device, and then you can drink it.

why is Slashdot never slashdotted? :rolls eyes:
Your MIDI was a hamster's and your father smelt of Strangeberry!
I was starting to go blind from looking at all the pron on the internet.
thanks to this man, I will now be able to see better, faster and cheaper!
i also think this would be an amazing computer game concept...
but how would the game implement the GM directive to reward players for original, extraordinary and spectacular actions?
to deal with open relays in China...

After reading much of the debates here and elsewhere on spam, I think it all comes down to ignorance and stupidity.

I mean, you can make something illegal and provide for harsh legal punishment for any activity, and some moron will still find a way to do it.
Just look at pyramid schemes. You'd have to have been living under a rock to not know these things 1) dont work and 2) are illegal. Yet...
I think that spam is here to stay, just based on the fact that it's impossible to eliminate ignorance and stupidity.
Hell, in some States, despite having the death penalty, murders still happen.

could a ISS-based telescope be built in 3 years?

"Tough and indestructible." er, arent those single-use rockets?
why not build an engine module to attach to the ISS and transform it into a spaceship to go to Mars?
