Didn't OPERA say that a cable added the 60ns extra to the timing and that when it was fixed, the neutrinos didn't travel than c?? This is just another group verifying the same thing then.
If neutrinos can pass through thousands of miles of solid rock without apparently being affected by it, how are you going to make a receiving antenna of any practical size?
Well we know from the FTL neutrino saga that it can be done. The idea I believe is that if the beam can be focused enough you make up for it by sending a massive quantity of neutrinos and hoping that just one of them hits... A bit like a telescope taking a picture with exposure times on order of minutes to hours.
For the neutrino sources on earth I forget exactly how it works but the signature you get in the detector registers a double hit that allows you to separate it from noise of other sources so these things don't need to be burried under thousands of feet of rock either as they are normally.
There are a couple of ways you can detect neutrinos. The easiest to imagine is chenerkov radiation. To understand this, acknowledge that the speed of light slows down in different mediums - water for example. A neutrino traveling through water moves faster than light through the water (but still slower than c). The neutrino creates - in essence - a shock wave behind it as it travels through water. As the light hits the shock wave, it is defracted and emits light of different colors - other various wavelengths. By looking at the amount of diffraction, you can indirectly measure the amount of shock waves --> amount of neutrinos.
I think the quality of the posts are directly related to the average intelligence of the article posting. I also think that as soon as you have to log in with a real name/facebook account, the quality of the postings does go up. I have participated in many insightful threads on/. and other tech forums. However, usually daily, I read the threads on virtually any FoxNews article just to make sure that their posters are just as racist, bigoted, niece, and hateful as they were the day before. I would assume that their readers think slightly different than the rest of us here. So while as a whole, I think Gawker was right in saying that forums are a bad idea.
the search features on myspace have been slow/pathetic. hopefully google with their vast infrastructure will speed up some of the site by using some sort of distributed computing for the search features, which i'm sure requires a lot of cpu speed to search close to 100 million users.
i just hope google doesnt try to merge my myspace account with my google account.
it seems a lot like del.ici.ou.us for the bookmarking, but sorry google, i love you, but you're not going to be getting my passwords for anything besides my google account
how do they think they will enforce that? is it just like the websites where you have to be 18 to look at the porn but you have every teenage boy going there. yahoo is just covering their asses from potential law suits from saying if youre under 18, you shouldnt be here. unless they make everyone get like a cyberage id or some other sort of age verification system, it will never work in practice
does it use a whole new file distrobution method, or does it use existing bittorrent files? is it just an enhancement/improvement to existing bittorrent protocol or is it an entirely new p2p file distrobution method?
i love how gov. agencies will probably crack down on the hackers defacing the phishing sites, but do little to nothing about the phishing sites/people themselves
its all about the quick solution, not trying to go towards the deeper problem
the whole basis of this is to stop the scattering of light that the object emits. so if there was no scattering, then wouldnt the object still appear black. sooo. couldnt you just look for the object that's all black. might work well in space or night time, but at 2pm on a sunny afternoon, i think i'll be able to spot the large black body trying to hide.
Just have Google give everyone a GMail account. Then not only can you store all of their political and scientific mail, they can get targeted advertisements about who to vote for and for whats new in science

Well played - I guess I forgot that aspect - It was 3am when I posted BTW so I wasnt all there.

distribution sorry, i always spell it distro.
does it use a whole new file distrobution method, or does it use existing bittorrent files? is it just an enhancement/improvement to existing bittorrent protocol or is it an entirely new p2p file distrobution method?
thanks

what does that mean??
