Oh, sure, use a dictionary against my Wikipedia definition. And beaten only with the second definition. Ok, in no sense of the word as I'm familiar with it from college physiscs 20 years ago.
I'm not recalling that the accretion disk is supposed to sustain fusion, I don't think it is dense enough, nor do I think that the x-rays we see from AGN suggest that the are hot enough to support fusion. So including that definition I don't think we have ignition, just blackbody friction induced radiation.
I added a USB/Firewire card to my pre-USB/Firewire Beige G3 with no problem. I think it would not boot from the firewire (does your PC?) but otherwise I saw no difference. Macs have been PCI for 10 years I think. I've been getting 5 to 7 years on my macs since my 1990 IIci. I'm left wanting to upgrade now because I'd like an Intel multicore box, and I have a feeling that 10.6 will not support PPC.
I am fully aware of the advantages of vacines. I am also aware of the limited nature of the data that is collected by Merk and Co. My children will be vacinated, but one can get Thimerosol free versions of most if not all vacines. And, instead of giving up to five vacines in one visit to the pediatrition I limit it to one per three weeks. I'll point out that there is very little data on the effects of multiple vacines admitistered concurrently. Lastly, I made no statement on Autisim, I just find it odd that people are willing to claim the risk is zero.
Assuming you are not a troll...
Live vaccines always carry risk. The intention is to bring it down to one in a million. But people did contract polio from the oral vaccine, and there are serious effects from the Rubella vaccine in some people.
http://www.vaccineinformation.org/rubella/qandavax.asp
More severe reactions, including allergic reactions, are rare. About one person per million develops inflammation of the brain, which is probably caused by the measles vaccine virus. If you are the numerator, and there are hundreds per year, it is pretty awful.
I've a background in physics and some in ee. So I get that 4Khz BW means that you have 4KZh somewhere in the spectrum. I didn't realize 28K and 32K modem signals used the same BW. I guess my confusion is that in all my physics work, when we talked about bandwidth we meant Channel capacity, but I take from your reply that radio operator mean strictly the width of the band and not the information capacity. Thanks.
Thought we were talking about the same thing - bandwidth in terms of frequency tells you the rate at which you can send information. What am I missing?
Ok gumby. Double the rest mass and I am pretty sure we can reduce KEby 2^1/2. I'd have to drag out Fy.II to be sure as I haven't done Rel in a long time.
Every deep mine detector is looking for low cross section particles; neutrinos and dark matter (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3683267.stm)
Let me ask you given your experience; Are you claiming your 1TeV neutron has any non-zero (10^-60) chance of going through the Earth?
I suppose you have a point that some of the debris will have lower cross section.
e.g., an online game -- you can't exactly save the state of the OTHER players online!
Why would you have to store other players state? Isn't that on the server and wouldn't you want to be getting updates to that regularly anyway?
So you should please stop talking out of your ass... it's not true suspend capability, it's "please try your best to make it look like your app went into the background seamlessly".
While it is a lot more work for the app programmer, saving state and restoring it can be done in a way that does put the application in exactly the same state that it was in when the app quit.
Remember that this isn't just about "background tasks", this is about not letting you switch between applications PERIOD. If you navigate away from your app, it's been closed, period.
The iPhone SDK provides messages to the application that it has finishedLaunching and that is about to be closed (or as you put it SUSPENDING), it provides for NSObject serialization ( I forget the term ), and it provides very easy storage of application data - in the form of serialized objects.
While I would rather not have to program for resuming an application , it is not terribly difficult to do with the iPhone.
Yes, I would like to poll the network as a background task - but I used to do that with J2ME on my Nokia 3650 and sure enough only 1 day of battery instead of 5.
Me - I'm using the SDK and it beats the heck out of what I had to do to program J2ME on the Nokia. Maybe Symbian is a whole lot better - I wouldn't know.
And, I can not wait to start selling $3 apps on iTunes where I don't have to do anything other than wait for that $2.10 to roll in with each sale. Try that with another phone.
Sorry - not buying your claim that they continue to move at the speed of light. Momentum is conserved between the incoming cosmic ray and the object with which it collides slowing the whole result down. The only particles that have truly low cross section are neutrinos, and possibly dark matter if it has any cross section. The reason that we put neutrino detectors deep in the earth is because doing so shields the detectors from all cosmic rays. Since no cosmic rays are getting to these detectors they, and their collision products certainly all stop in the first few thousands of meters of the earth.

While I am in agreement with the tone of your reply to the GP, I would point out one consideration for your claim
There is no faith going on in the scientific community . As I have come to understand the basis on which I do work as a scientist, I have to take on faith that the Universe is rational, can be explained, and that the basis of those explanations are congruent with causality. Everything I've done is science assumes causality and I equate this to my faith in it.
...the chances of successfully prosecuting somebody for "stealing code" or even ideas is zero...
The odds are never zero on this matter, and are dependent in large part on how much money you are willing to spend and how long you wish to try doing so. Success by the plaintiff may not equate to a court decision in their favor. The plaintiff may be happy enough to cause the defense to have to put up a costly defense. And you only have to look as far as the $100 million recently invested in SCO to know that the truth may set you free, but not before you've gone broke.
Magnetic fields can affect the polarization of photons. So I suspect that there is an instrument which measures polarization, and that polarization has flipped from some previous measurement.
There is a mention of " ESPaDOnS, the new generation stellar spectropolarimeter" as being the instrument involved. Link here http://www.ast.obs-mip.fr/projets/espadons/espadons.html
I have not read all of your posts in this thread, and am not quite sure of your take on the whole belief, theory, fact dialog that seem to permeate the evolution debate threads on/., but I'm sympathetic to the cost of Nature issue. This is free and has some good content http://www.nature.com/news/index.html.
Back to the evolution issue - I like what the National Academy of Science recently published: "Science, Evolution, and Creationism" which you can read online for free http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11876
This is a good read if you are interested in the current state of the science of evolution, and it has a nice FAQ for some of the issues discussed in this very thread.
Absolutely correct Billy. But in the context of the GGGP complaining about the explosion causing junk to hang about for centuries I allowed my self the slight inaccuracy. I think I would be completely accurate in saying that due to air resistance, any debris boosted into a more energetic orbit (Total energy = Kinetic + Potential) will pass through the same altitude 1-epsilon orbits latter - even allowing for relativistic corrections.
More bits an pieces == more surface area. I don't know that it will de-orbit these pieces before they get to the west coast of the Americas. But it might make it more likely that no large piece will make it to a place that it can not be recovered by the US. Also, putting a hole in the gas tank will be good for keeping the fuel from coming down intact.
The force of the explosion can not put any part of the debris into a higher circular orbit. The debris may go into an elliptical orbit that has a much higher apogee, but perigee will be at the same altitude that the collision takes place. To get into higher circular orbit would require a corrective impulse at apogee. This is true for all of the debris that continues to orbit. Therefore, that debris will on each orbit pass through relatively thick atmosphere, and suffer the eventual consequence of de-orbit. In fact, since the surface area of the debris is likely to be much larger than that of the satellite, it should be a rapid de-orbit.
I was hoping I'd see someone who remembered Repton - but are are you talking about the original from Sirius? I was amazed that the lizard people would steal the name.
T-Mobile unlocked my phone no problem. Finding the right number to call was the biggest challenge. Granted, I was still a customer as I had not yet switched to my iPhone.
I went the the clamxav site. It's great. Says right there that there are currently ZERO known viruses for OS X. Then it goes on to tell you the two best reasons to run AV software on your Mac. 1) you might pass on email from one Windows user to another with a virus in the email, and 2) you might be running VirtualPC on your Mac, which would be susceptible to Windows viruses.

It does not 'ignite' by any sense of the word. It does get very hot through friction, and emits black body radiation. But it does not burn.
