    You could just use degrees and say 0=1+e^180i;

    I dunno, it sounds to me like a "two otherwise respectable scientists got drunk one night and now are saying something pretty crazy" story.

    Every 2bit moron wants to add his unintelligible opinion.

    Indeed.

  10. Re:That's bright! on Patent Claim Could Block Import of Toyota's Hybrid Cars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds to me like their patent summary consists of slapping a computer onto an idea that's been around for over a century.

  11. Re:antimatter on Design Starting For Matter-Antimatter Collider · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought it had something to do with time... Like, positrons were electrons going the other way in time, which is why they annihilate when they collide and produce a photon. Really the electron is hitting a photon and turning around in time. Likewise with pair production. Anyone know if this is right? I honestly think that quantum physics book was chock full of lies...

  12. People who write in textbooks... on In Trial, Kindles Disappointing University Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...are the scum of the earth. I can't stand that! Take separate notes! Respect the text for future users! And they always write stupid crap in'em, too.

    Besides, they should've given'em to some real college students, like engineering majors. I'd love to stop carrying a pile 8 inches thick of textbooks around the campus every freakin' day. I mean, that can't be good for your back.

  13. Re:If you think that through... on Cooking May Have Made Us Human · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, it's a widely accepted fact that cooking food vastly increased the amount of calories early man could consume and led directly to the development of higher functions. If anything, this article is about 40-50 years too late to be considered newsworthy.

    I know I want high wattage wireless power beamed directly at my forehead. I don't know about anyone else, though.

    Yes, exactly, thats why these silly "console" gaming systems will never catch on. Charging those PS3 controllers is such a hassle.

    I've seen both polarized films and shutter glasses, and they are not the same. You might as well be watching Creature from the Black Lagoon even with modern films. Additionally, without expensive projection equipment, the polarized technique is virtually impossible. It is no where near home ready, whereas the shutter glasses most definitely are.

    Well, Arch has a very active developer/user group of exactly the type of people who would use this browser. I think they have a majority of a very solid niche market.

    Wow, an incredible post from a century ago, where the invention of Solar Cells is considered a recent development! Unless, of course, you're talking about modern Solar Cells, which were developed during the aforementioned grandmother's lifetime (1954).

    I would contend that it is much simpler to avoid accidents in three dimensions than two: you have significantly more options should a collision be imminent.

    How are these companies "businesses that you probably don't associate with Linux?" I've heard of at least the top 8, and they are all pro-Linux companies as far as I know.

    If Microsoft was high on the list, I'd be surprised, or even Apple. IBM? Novell? Not so much.

  25. Re:Question about Pi and circles. . . on Pi Calculated To Record 2.5 Trillion Digits · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To travel from one point to another, an object must pass through all the points in between. There are an infinite number of points "in between," thus to move at all, an object must travel through an infinite number of points in a finite time. Clearly this definition of reality is flawed: stop using it.
