Don't you mean the other way around? How could we tell big bang occurred 13.73 billion years ago? Much easier to see how far we can see I guess.
So shouldn't the longest distance to the far "edge" be 13.8 billion light years, which depending on where in space we are located mean that space have a diameter of 13.8 to 27.6 billion light years depending on if we are in the centrum or close to the edge (unless it's spherical and we can only see the "surface" where we are located and not the edge on the opposite side =P
Anyway, how can we go from that size to estimate how old it is? Because they expect it to expand at light speed?
Or do they get the age from it all being dark further away so it couldn't had started back then?
It gets fucked up in either way.
Or I've just lost myself, time for breakfast (and caffeine):D
How does that match with the big bang theory, 13.5-14 billion years old and nothing can travel faster than light? =P
I'm to tired to read it now, wherefrom come the estimated age? Not from the size and expanding at light speed or below I hope? Or well, if your number is correct that would still mean it's at least 45 billion years. So uhm, fail:D
My first though to, why is it even accessible if they think it's such a problem? Guess at least the military should know such basic things. (Though I do understand it makes their sharing easier.)
Seriously, it's not as easy as a person with the opposite sex passing the same general area. There is more to it.
Maybe it would be enough if there is only 2 members of the human species involved. I don't know, but on planet earth, no, there seem to be more factors involved.
I know it was killing references but the point would still have been able to be made although slightly more subtle. Your average Slashdot nerd would probably still pick up what he was hinting at no matter what file-system.
Maybe there was some extra point given for contributing on the same file-system. Personally I think it lacked some of the turn-over in your thoughts / didn't forced you to think for a second to get the point.
But would I had got around troll moderation if I had left out "or well, not really group 2 or 4, but let's pretend"?
Because, plenty of religious retards DO believe homosexuality is wrong, and defend that retarded thought by blaming god.
And the large hardon collider = gay reference is well known off.
So what was wrong with my post? I even mentioned _I_ didn't disliked the fags and that I was just trying to be funny (which someone claimed was a failure, but then maybe part of the failure was to say that I tried to be funny... But since some of Slashdots moderators don't understand better it had to be mentioned.)
Ah, ok, sorry. Since it's used as energy source for their space ship I thought it was anti-matter (but if it was maybe his litter box would seize existing after a while.)
It's indeed dark, even black, in the series:)
I wonder what the benefit of using dark matter is, whatever dark matter happen to be. Or well, we already know it's Nibbler poop, but except that?
Conclusion: anti-matter bombs are not cost effective compared to nukes, and are unlikely to ever become so, unless we find a natural source of anti-matter.
He's probably in this thread already but what you're asking for seems to be: Nibbler.
Maybe the religion-abusing freaks got it right: "God hates fags!"
(S)He couldn't accept the large hardon collisions.
(I'm trying to be funny, not flamebaiting fags, the religion-abusing freaks, ateists or your average christian. I like you all (or well, not really group 2 or 4, but let's pretend.))
You can't offset it, if you do anything about it that thing could had been done anyway so..
Who cares, it's not like it will make a huge difference compared to all other light sources, also how much energy would be consumed to build the same thing in concrete or whatever? + lighting that one up, maintenance, so on.
I do not understand, why any company has the right to tell you how to play your game.
Well duh, because in most online games you affect others? For the same reason you're not allowed to do anything you want in the society you're part of IRL either.
If I want to spend all of my day collecting gold If I want to spend all of my day standing still If I want to spend all of my day running in circles
In WoW it doesn't matter that much, I'll follow up on that one soon. But in WC3 if you play a team game and then don't happen to sit at your computer later when the game starts, or leave because you want to eat or whatever, or tower our allies, or just leave to get bad stats faking a bad player so you'll get matched up with less skilled players later it ruins the game for everyone else playing. And therefor you're not worth taking part of that community longer.
In WoW in many cases I guess it doesn't matter unless you sit around farming some NPC for whatever drops which makes it impossible for others which has a quest of killing said NPC do their thing. Or if you only run a program getting whatever resources is around to I guess, as a real person playing I can't see much wrong with that.
Anyway, if you decide to sell your farmed items you once again ruin the game because you give someone an advantage they haven't deserved. (And earn real money from "destroying" the area in the game where you was farming.)
Stand still or run in circles in wow if you want to.
What right do they have to tell me how to play my game? Wtf seriously people. We pay, then pay to play, and then we must play in specific way only?
It's their game, in WoW you kind of rent your place in the world. The rules is probably set up and while I guess your "I've bought the game" argument works for the first 30 days once you have to get more days I think it's quite ok that they can refused further payments for not letting you play. Like you can get kicked out from any rented appartment if you don't behave.
In WC3 and such I don't think battle.net access is guaranteed, it's a bonus feature and you can still play the single player part of the game. Behave and play online or don't and get kicked out. Your choice.
Oh, pretty much it is money making scheme for them cause they know now all those people have to buy a new one. 'Niiiiiiiiice. No ownership of the game, yet you pay pay pay pay and pay even more.
I don't know if map hackers and such in WC3 will buy the game again and again and.... atleast more than one time? That time they probably learn or stop using hacks. For everything except hacks the bar seems very high because I haven't got kicked out:D
WoW wasn't meant to be a working place:D. No-one cares if someone who ruins the experience has to pay again. No regular player will get banned so what's he problem?
People you are idiots, because you let it happen.
I _WANT_ it to happen, I want to play seriously, the less trash the better. I don't want to play with or versus map hackers.
It is like sex -- only losers and idiots pay for it.
So if you misbehave in sex you should still be allowed to have it? Because you had the dedicated organ for doing so?
Either play by the rules or don't play at all:D
Some people do pay for sex for bending the rules accepted by their free partner though:D
Yeah, don't help much on ladder games, it's not like you can choose not to join a game there:D (at least not without leaving and losing stats if they lose.)
Also I wouldn't like to use a list made by random people why just didn't liked some other random person.
lol, imagine how fucked up my mind was trying to comprehend what you was saying into my wc3 world before I had read the last line and understood it was about Diablo:D
Is this just speculation or something you know? I think such bonuses is quite lame since they don't come from skill. Things like the collectors edition pet is better because a pet is useless and don't give any special benefit.
Yeah, but in the non-subscription games (unless you hear from someone else) you have already bought the game when you go online and gets bothered with cheaters and the profit for the company has already been made.
Slashdot Mirror
Has this been confirmed by Netcraft?
Ohnoez, science goes the way of religion =P
Can we please keep the evidence as evidence and don't count theoretic results of theoretic theories as somewhat less trustworthy evidence? :D
Yes? As long as you don't go 0.1 faster. Quite obvious answer.
Ok, I put in the sound effect myself: "woosh", because I do understand it was like, a joke to get the salamander reference ;/

What are these things you call friends and human society? Once family usually die away from you unless you reproduce so no issues there either.
Give me someone to play games with and a collection of fleshlights and lube and I'm all set.
I know it was killing references but the point would still have been able to be made although slightly more subtle. Your average Slashdot nerd would probably still pick up what he was hinting at no matter what file-system.

You had the chance to include words like web, net, thread and so on and you didn't replaced the Reiser-part? :)
I would guess: outside the container! At least if they have looked through it all and you're incorrect.
Or the myostatin "bug" found in belgian blue? =P
They surely must have had genetics to survive warm-ages? If not they must have been a short-lived species.

Time until US military develop this into a weapon?
Closing the borders for tourists would surely save some energy ;)
You can't offset it, if you do anything about it that thing could had been done anyway so ..
