  1. Re:A photon is not an "object" on First Object Teleported From Earth To Orbit (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    A photon has mass.
    It simply had no rest mass (rest means 'resting'). In other words if you could stop it, it had mo mass.
    But it is traveling with the speed of light. It has an impulse/momentum. Impulse/momentum implies mass.
    It is only nitpicking americans with bad school education (and yes in 5 minutes a Phd in Physics with similar bad education tries to contradict me ...)
    Get it: it has momentum, so it has mass. Plain and simple. Photons count as massless in the standard model 'at rest', not while they are traveling.

    They are refugees, that they pay smugglers to get over the ocean is for two reasons: the regions close to their home is to dangerous. And the trip is to long.

    They have the same values you and I have, you fucking moron.
    You seem not to get that: live in peace, have a wife, support, your kids, provide an education, have a future.
    What fucking other values do you have that you think they don't share the same value with you?

    Most refugees coming to Europe are not 'male prime fighting sexual age' but families, grandpa, grandma, ma, pa, kids and grandkids, how damn stupid are you?

    There are no Sunni bs Shiite wars right now and the last one was because Saddam wanted some war to get its population distracted from planning a rebellion.
    ISIS is not a religious war. The leaders simply want power and territory. The victims have usually the same religion as the ISIS fighters.
    In my opinion the crusades where religious wars. Or if you want to be nitpicking the 30 years war (which actually was no religious war) or the french civil war against the Huguenots (which strictly speaking was no religious war either).
    Regarding Islam, the first expansion wars of Muhammed can be considered religious wars.
    Probably the conquest in south america, too.

    As far as I can tell, we are controlling it very good!

    Who needs invaders when you have mass migration from a culture that doesn't share Western values and dominated by a religion/ideology that at its core seeks supremacy?
    Are you really such a brain washed idiot? They share the same values we do. And are damn refugees not religious ideologists.

    You cannot allocate the space to save the state from which a function is called, nor allocate new space to copy in specified function with space for its local variables, without access to the kernel
    That is utterly wrong.
    The magic is called a stack. And every processor has build in instructions for function calls.
    No kernel needed at all, kernels have nothing to do with funvtion calls.
    Instead of having a fancy name, I suggest to read a book, or simply dissassemble a fibonacci function or something similar trivial.

  9. No, blind seer said, that the oil price is following the gas price.
    And I said: the gas price is following the oil price. Usually with a delay of 4 - 6 month, depending on contract and using a similar 4 - 6 month price average of oil to adjust to. It is basically written in every gas contract that the gas price will be adjusted every X month, and that the new price will be based on the average of previous months oil price.

    But maybe this is supposed to be a joke? Like the line: "Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite."

  17. There are enough peaker plants that react in the second.
    As long as your renewable percentage is low, you neither need nor have any real use for storage.
    Storage gets interesting when the amount of renewable energy approaches the level of your base load.
    Or when you can store enough over daytime to supplement your nightly base load.
    For the gird it is no difference whether a few cooling houses shut down cooling and "the grid" is overproducing and has to power down a peaker or if "suddenly" there is more solar energy and the grid has to power down a peaker.
    Both tell you btw. in advanced that they either power down or have more sun. There is no unexpected behaviour in the grid with MW sized installations. Except: accidents.
