  1. Re:Wrong numbers on Terrestrial (Rocky) Planet Discovered · · Score: 1

    is it at all possible to measure the "size" (density?) at such a distance?

    i thought, these wobble/transit methods are used to just time the orbital period, so you can derive, using the stars mass, the companions mass?

  2. 2AU? on Terrestrial (Rocky) Planet Discovered · · Score: 4, Informative

    found a bit more here:

    http://www.eso.org/outreach/press-rel/pr-2004/pr-2 2-04.html

    cant find anything about the 2AU. is that possible? 2AU radius and 10day period?

    i am getting these on all servers i have access to for a couple of weeks now. seems more like a stupid bruteforce attack to me.

    should be no real problem, if youve not completely screwed up your config. or is there a new exploit i missed?

  7. Re:Safety of Nuclear Power on Interview With Chernobyl Engineer · · Score: 0

    at least you are able to store nuclear waste at all. or is there a nice solution to handle the amount of CO2 produced to generate the same amount of energy?

    and i still doubt, that wind/solar/tidal energy etc. can supply us for the next 50 years. mind you, solar arrays, wind turbines etc. need energy as well to be build in the first place.

  8. Re:Safety of Nuclear Power on Interview With Chernobyl Engineer · · Score: 1, Interesting

    most people i know think of nuclear power plants as giant atomic bombs that can go off any second. no use to explain things like "critical mass" or how efficient nuclear power is compared to coal/oil. "nuclear? no way, thats too dangerous."

    but no need to worry anymore. now were dismantling all our high-standard plants here, so the big companies can sell us the power generated by nice russian RBMK reactors.

    ah heck. i dont need no power plants. my power comes right out of this little outlet in my wall.

  12. Re:The stuff you can't order or outsource... on Starting Your Own Community Driven Website? · · Score: 1

    >don't lose sight of the fact that you need something to >attract people to the site sometimes i miss the times, when content was no concern: they: "hey, wed like a website for a [somenichetopic] community. wed like to have [standardfeatures]. can you do this? well pay you." me: "ok. but who will provide the content?" they: "er, we. at first. but after its known, it will provide itself" me: "ok." (2 years later) they: "hey, nobody is using it." me: "well, but its working (technically), isnt it?" they: "yes, but why havent *YOU* made up some content?" always nice to see "content management systems" managing "no content". :)
