Why wouldn't friction be the source of heat? The very center of the earth has a balanced gravity pull outwards in every direction, creating a gradient that should condense the heavier atoms around the mantle. The internal core is spinning at a different rate that the crust creating a velocity gradient between the core, crust, and mantle. Regardless if there was no nuclear energy in the core, the friction alone should be substantial. And we know solid particles make up the core. Ancient Earth had some rather nasty experiences with meteors. That solid core settles to the center, but basic common sense would suggest massive meteor strikes would bounce that baby around like a rattle, fracturing the crust and mantle from the inside out not much different than how a baseball to the head can cause the brain to strike the opposite side of the head and create a skull fracture. The core being off center for any length of time has to ratchet up the internal friction.
The word 'Jedi' has become a part of the American culture and LucasFilms Ltd is in danger of it becoming generic. Jedi Mind has to convince the judge that this is true and it would alter the course of battle...
There were two epic Marvel story lines based on toy lines I'd like to see on the big screen; Micronauts & Shogun Warriors!! If they stuck to the story lines even half as well as the Transformers movie or Iron Man then that would be bonus.
F*** Colin Powell. That guy lied to us to get the nation to back the war with Iraq. He knew the information was incorrect and did not so much as bawk at spewing it to the public. Shame on that bastard.
The patent doesn't cover that 'multimedia time warping system' is done, it merely covers how it is done with TiVO's technology. If Dish wants to use type different hardware - like something analog in nature - then it gets around TiVO's patent.
Realize I'm playing devil's advocate here. The idea you can blanket cover 'multimedia time warping system' using said technology is asinine.
China has a much better handle on machines running XP than Vista. Perhaps their computer programmers are up to snuff yet on the Vista and cannot hardly get their snoop kits functioning on time for the games. China is one of those countries where every possible control on free speech is in place for when the wrong type of things get said. Its not that China censors all speech, its that as a society in general they cannot allow dissident speech.

Patents Don't Pay

It will not be forever, just beyond any human lifespan. And the heirs of the patentee will automatically get the rights upon the inventor's death. Unfortunately, our whole concept of laws is run by lawyers to create perpetual states of gridlock. This keeps them employed. Abolishing patents would send a quarter of the top 1% incomes in America (which coincidently own 99% of the property) into a spiral. Can't have that. If such a pillar of our society fell, total anarchy is around the corner.
Wouldn't that make a blackhole kind of like an iPod for God? Instead of storage for song data, it records the entire history of the universe. Of course we couldn't even read it since its stored in such a way you could never unravel it...
Could that mean excited antimatter might form some sort of an anti-photon, too? It would be intrigueing to think that an anti-photon pair comes from the nether to collapse upon its own origin the reverse that a photon pair spreads out from its origin and reaches out to infinity.
I wonder if somehow the dark matter isn't so much dark mass, but perhaps its purely electromagnetic in nature. We know photons have mass because they interact within gravitational influences. Do modern predictions about the universe take into any account all of this "mass" within transitory electromagnetic radiation? I would think it is measurable to some degree and therefore its influence predictable. And due to the doppler effect the gravitational effects of light should not necessarily be in a linear direction to their origin.
You make it big by buying things overpriced, gobble up the competition at the expense of the consumer, charge for your lack of efficiency, pay whatever is necessary to get the competition to sell out, charge even more as you become one of two competitors in your market, then you sell everything and let it all tumble down, later to repurchase it and resume your domination. And its all done on bare bones, used Pentium III crap machines because he's too cheap to buy the machines new. And you operate your empire out of a run down office building while using the lowest possible output light bulbs because you don't want to pay too much overhead. Overhead eats profit you know.
What does this have to do with the topic? Everything. Its penny pinchers like this that destroy America's competitiveness at the expense of joe public. The same types of elitist people run big telephone. The same types elitists run big entertainment. There is no room for fluff or overhead when profit is everything.
The first point I want to make is that global warming is directly related to the increase in solar flares. Given the problem that the sun hasn't allowed earth to cool down like normal this past 60 years, its no wonder the planet surface is warming. We know this because all of the inner planets have rising temperatures on a scale similar to our own planet, but proportionate to the distance to the sun. The science behind the "man-made global warming" goes into minute details how man is enhancing this natural increase in globally rising temperatures. But it still is known that the actual increase in the temperatures was going to happen. The scientists just insist that it is happening faster than they anticipated. And I've yet to see where the sun's natural increase in activity would not have caused the exact same problems that man is "enhancing", because these were going to happen regardless of man's help. Some people do not understand that the sun is the cause of global warming and think we can just shut down the warming. This is hardly the case.
OT - Sun spots are cool spots only because of their location. Sun spots form on sharp outcrops of the sun's mass - solar flares are eruptions protruding from the sun's surface - which is consistent with what we know about thermodynamics on a smaller scale. Sharp pointed masses shed heat much fast than blunt masses, but this is generally true only when talking about either conduction or convection. (Radiation behaves differently.) Until they know the reason behind the cooling effects we won't know the true tally of man's enhancements related to global warming.
And if you want to drive on the left side of the road, you are free to do so as long as you also accept that farm animals are not treated humanly? Your compromise makes about as much sense...
You ignore the fact that they are unable to attain monopoly positions without core protections of their product and business model. Remove them if they want to violate their end of the bargain.

Sounds like an April Fools joke a day early for many of us.
Apparently it dropped some of my last comment. It was supposed to read:
If "1" = a "concrete idea" and "0.(9)" = "an abstract idea" then 1 0.(9)
a concrete idea is NOT an abstract idea
if "1" = a concrete idea and "0.(9)" = an abstract idea then 1 0.(9) a concrete idea an abstract idea

I'm all for this.
Right on!
Judging by their protection of U.S. Property I'd say pay the nine cents already and move on already. It's only fair to pay them their fair share.

Nothing to see, just a continuation of the 60's.
