When are these things going to start spitting out microwaves? We're already into TV and FM Radio Band emissions at 200-400Mhz. Microwaves really aren't that far off.
While there are some radar bands from 1,300 to 1,600 MHz, most microwave applications fall in the range 3,000 to 30,000 MHz (3-30 GHz). Current microwave ovens operate at a nominal frequency of 2450 MHz, a band assigned by the FCC.

Oh come on! I'm not a troll! I was posting serious opinion. I do use IE. I've never had cause to change. I dont go to sites that pop-up a million and one new windows.
Just because I ask a simple question of FF, I get branded as a troll? How is that fair?
Microsoft itself reverse engineers stuff all the time to add compatibility with other apps (or it did in the past anyway, they had to when they were the small fish)
Or you could say that they reverse engineer stuff all the time to bring out their own version of the app.
So for fun, and challenge, I
reverse-engineered the original implementation by studying the massive
amount of assembly code involved, and after a lot of hard work I ended
up with this implementation in C.
Excellent! I knew I was on the right track with the blackhole thing.
Where you break down is the proof that the formula to calulate pi is proven to match reality. I don;t think that is possible, sine you can't measure the ratio directly in a spacetime not affected by gravity.
Yeah, I programmed up the dropping needles experiment back in college. Interesting results but it can diverge from Pi at any given moment IIRC. It'll hopefully get there eventually though.
I always thought that pi was a manifestation of spacetime. E.g. Pi isn't 3.14blah for a blackhole. (Depening on wether this hole its black or dark or not there at all)
If I create a nice disk on the lathe, I can measure pi and see if it mathes reality. It makes me worried that everyone is so sure that PI is right that it doesn't meed checking at all.
I'll grant you that it almost certainly is completly correct, but.
Who has proven that pi matches a *physical* circle, disk if you will.
How do we *know* that pi is exactly the result of the formulas that these people use to calculate pi?
I only ask because I assume that pi (as defined by the number of times the diameter of a circle can be wrapped around its circumference) might differ at some arbitary point into the calculation?
How do we know that these calulations actually produce a number that matches reality?
pressesc (873084) Answered this in his post above. There arn't multiple bits encoded in the same domain, its just that the domains are arranged permendicular to the disk.
Its like this, lay three pencils down on the table, end to end. Thats three bits. Which way the points point determines wether each pencil is a 1 or 0...
Now, stand all the pencils on end, perpendicular to the table, but still next to each other. The way the pencil points still determins the bit value but you can fit a hell of a lot more pencils on you table if you stand them all on end.
I hope this helps someone. opoliges fro teh speeling.

But when you have current switching at a given frequency, you get EM emissions at that frequency. (And others, but thats another story)
They may not be particularly powerful, but they are there.

Dontcha just hate the price of new hardware?
Sucks to be my bank manager. Oh yes.
Well, yeah, probably...Just a little caution goes a long way though.
See, I won't click on your link which will, most likely, make IE dance around my screen lobing new window into the air.
Just because I ask a simple question of FF, I get branded as a troll? How is that fair?
But I have hardly any trouble with popups.
Maybe I don't go to the sort of sites that use them? Maybe I've just filtered those sites out of my brain?
I don't know but the only sites I see popups on are Sciam.com and NewScientist.com
Others might do it but I never notice.
However, I do get pissed off with those floating flash ads which hover over the body of the page. Those are f*cking everywhere these days.
If FF blocks those reliably then I'd be tempted to swap.

Might not be the ideal solution who use alot of web applications rather than just surfing.
It gives me comfort having no evidence that the person I'm chatting with is a trucker called Bubba.
Or you could say that they reverse engineer stuff all the time to bring out their own version of the app.
Its all good.
Nice, gotta give the guy props for that.
That is not a trivial undertaking at all.
I tip my hat to ya.

Or Kanguins like Ligers and Tigons...
They wan't you familiar with and happy to use windows products when you hit the job market.
Eeewwwwwwww!

You didn't blindly parrot your math teacher.
I like that you put aprox too
Thanks

Can you just outline how, as a species, we know that the formula you give above is in accorance with reality, given we can't measure it to find out?
I would just like to know how we came to that conclusion
Its still just a math based solution...I'd much rather see an *actual experiment* to *measure* pi to 2 billion places.
That would impress me.

How much time did it take to develop the site compared to Java?
I ask here because the site is dead, Ruby isn't a magic hammer after all.

Next thing you'll say is that I don't actually *need* this 3GHz processor for posting on here...
Hush now!
Indeed not 3D in any fashion, disappointing isn't it?
Thats also wrong. See here http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=14487 1&threshold=1&commentsort=0&tid=198&tid=126&tid=13 7&mode=thread&pid=12132123#12132157
