Jupiter weighs 1.899 * 10^29kg; Sol weighs 1.989 * 10^32 kg (or about 1050 times what Jupiter weighs).
8.4% of Sol's mass is 1.65 * 10^30, or 87 times what Jupiter weighs.
So... How many monoliths is that?
TMA-2, the one found in Jupiter space is said to be 1/2 a Kilometer in length, putting this into the 1x4x9 ratio, this leaves us with a monolith with dimensions of
55.55m X 222.22m X 500m and volume of ~6.1728395e6. m^3
The mass of TMA-2 is hard to quantify, but given it's wormhole/transformative/starchild/total wtf powers, let's assume it to be at least the mass of say... platinum? (owing to it's value and all). Platinum has a density of 21.45 g/cm^3 = 21.45e3 kg/m^3.
So, the mass is:
~6.1728395e6. m^3 X 21.45e3 kg/m^3 = 1.32407407407407e11 kg.
number of monoliths = (mass required - mass of Jupiter) / est mass of monolith =
1.653e30 - 1.899e29 / 1.324e11 = 1.10279456e19
So, we're left with: ~1,102,794,560,000,000,000 monoliths... Shouldn't be too hard to take care of that and turn night into day for a thousand years or so...
Zeroconf has nothing to do with IM or file-sharing.
This may be true, but what he's talking about is "Bonjour" messaging that is built into iChat, and is only on the Mac. You can "Log in to Bonjour" in the iChat menu, and anyone else who's on your network and is logged in will be visible in your buddy list. In college, it was great since you could easily see who else was 'near' you (dorm, library, etc).
iChat does support encrypted IM when both users are on iChat. I'm unsure if this applies to 'Bonjour' messaging, but I can't imagine it doesn't.
Has anyone made an IM client for Linux (or win), that supports Bonjour (zeroconf)?
At Stanford 90% of the CS classes (and a bunch of others) are broadcast live, then cached online. But they use.asf files in Windows Media Player. (Hate It)
Now that they changed the codec they were using so I could HEAR the lectures I watch on my Powerbook, I'm wondering if there's any way to speed 'em up - this sounds like a great idea!
Perhaps a rip to local, transcode, then speed up
I figure I'll need to track down a pc to do half of this - give me all your reccomendations
