is commonly believed that mythology is largely devoid of information for the sole reason that the mythologists of old have been using the dominant astrophysical theories within their interpretations with little successes to date. No, not for this reason. First in place, mythology is not devoid of information. Only that information is different.
However, when documents are translated without this extraneous influence, In other words, "properly interpreted".
they tend to make a lot more sense. They also tend to point directly to plasma-based cosmologies. So you not only Velikovsky follower, but also electric-universe proponent? Wooonderful... but not very surprising.
Your comment is classical pseudoscience tactic: find some problem with actual theories and claim "so my completely ludicrous idiotic shambling on acid must be right!!!!oneone". Um, no, not really.Unlike yourself, I've read what the Electric Universe Theorists are saying. Due to this exposure, and unlike yourself, I'm qualified to speak about their claims. Huh? We talk now about Venus and Velikovsky, not EU.
Velikovsky was unfortunately wrong about Jupiter. Venus was expelled from Saturn. On what basis you claim it? And what is physical mechanism for this feat? As far as I am aware, EU hypothesis say nothing about expelling major celestial bodies from other major celestial bodies.
if you ever get a desire to seriously challenge the dogma that you've come to blindly accept You know that kind of patronizing text is very typical of pseudosciencists and crackpots, right? And I do not "blindly accept" scientific results. Simply science works. Heck, thing that lies before me is very good proof that science works. In domains where I have no knowledge, or time, or money to verify and check scientific results I see many scientists veryfing each other, checking results, producing knowledge (that later can be used by engineers to create more toys like that thing before me). This is called, you know, scientific method. Dismissing hundred years of accumulated knowledge and a lot of hard work of ten thousands people from around of world because this is at odds with your favorite crackpot "theories" is extremely arrogant.
We see large-scale comet-like bodies all over the universe, buddy. (...) Mira was observed to be emitting a comet-like tail Comet-like "tail" is not enough to describe object in question as "comet-like". Especially when other properties of that body are drastically different from comets.
There was also this article... And what this article have anything to do with comets? Because of artist illustration slighty similiar to "comet"??:)))
Sooo, you don't actually answer to my question. Again: what comets have anything in common with Venus? Size? Mass? Temperature? Pressure on surface? Looks? Materials? Atmosphere composition? Orbital parameters? Existence of tail (if you insist on that)? Answer me.
Funny that many people mistake mythology with factual history... you also think that x-files are documentary, aren't you?
Your comment is classical pseudoscience tactic: find some problem with actual theories and claim "so my completely ludicrous idiotic shambling on acid must be right!!!!oneone".
And for rest of universe, I would like to present Velikovsky in all ot his (in)famous glory...
"report the arrival of Venus into our solar system as a comet-like body within the past 10,000 years"
No. Venus was to be expelled from Jupiter. And remind me, what comets have anything in common with Venus? Mass? Temperature? Looks? Materials? Orbital parameters?
Incorrect.
Any mission to Hubble is more costly than making and firing into sky a new shiny telescope. Why?
Space is counter-intutive. We assume that repairing is normally cheaper than buying new thing. But escaping from Earth's gravity well is COSTLY. DAMN HUGE COSTLY. And you pay that cost in both cases (repair vs new). If repair mission hinders progress of development of new telescopes, then i say TO HELL with Hubble. New 'scopes have superior capabilities and in month can make more discoveries than Hubble in whole life. Enough to say.
Funny reading your rant about "how terrible is for Adobe that some kid use thousand dollar package to draw some mustaches on photo".
Of course it is completely upside down. Photoshop (and some other programs) is popular thanks due to piracy.
Why?
Almost everyone, whom make living from creation of graphics (pictures, painters, adv, art, etc) and whom use Photoshop, almost everyone used in past (most likely on beginning) pirated version of Photoshop.
And later come times when you must pay for photoshop. Why? In-home pirated Photoshop no longer apply. In bussiness possesing pirated sofware is too risky and your boss must buy Photoshop. Why? Because your get hooked in past with pirated version of same program. If were no piracy, you never will get hooked, because Photoshop costs insane amount of cash for typical student.
Yes, for some companies (BIG companies, of course) piracy is under certain circumstances very profitable. Microsoft is of course another example of this phenomenon.
Are you have a consciousness? How to prove it? Seriously. It's not like I can just stick a ruler in your brain and measure the length of the consciousness gland.
I personally prefer banks that allow preform operations with firefox. If your bank show middle finger when you use non-ie browser, then YOU show middle finger for bank.
...until they develop method to connect neurons of cockroach to robot. This will be NEWS, not a stupid trackball.
Interesting application: spider brain in spider-like robot to guard and kill. Hoever, this may be inpractical (feeding live brain versus computer processor).
I always wonder why these world saviors (read: fucking idiots) want to cut science in space, and not, for example, military. I'm Pole, and this is funny looking at your people adn your president, wasting hundred bilions $ on Iraq. Funny and sad.
If you have no trash in Add/Remove Programs, then hooray. Unfortunately, I still have trash - Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2 and 1.0.4 - (was 1.0.3 too but I somehow managed to remove this).
Even if I can remove 1.0.2 - still new install of FF 1.0.4 leave trash. Maybe my computer plots against me - I don't care. I care about content of Add/Remove Programs.
Well, at first I read it as thoughtcrime...
"I wil formally licence, on terms acceptable to Microsoft, all intellectual property rights
in my film and agree to waive all moral rights in relation to my film if requested to do
so."
Who, Microsoft? Nice. Wonder WHAT terms are acceptable for this famous thought thief. That thingie is called hypocrisy.

And I read this day after finishing anime "Planetes"... ugh... beware the Space Defense Front!!!
Unfoturnately, it's too early to make any plausible guess. Kepler will give some statistic, but you must wait so fucking long... 2008-2012. :(
No, no. This will not silence nuts, because they can always say that photos of landers are fabricated. Remember, paranoia always has answer.
a new version of NetHack? ;)
Just Another Scam.

Of course, real alignments NEVER occur, and if even occurs, in no way can cause any f*** disasters.

Damn, will they AGAIN[1] relase real news instead of fake?

O my god. This is eerie... I want more peaceful looking manga-foxgirl. :P
You're, of course, made this up. Ff still leave mess. Do not post if you're know nothing about it.
Installer not only loads whole installer, but still leave garbage in Add/Remove Program. I hope that some ff dev read this: you're fucking idiots.
Really? I'll wait for 1.0.4, install it from red arrow and THEN believe.
Will ever be this fixed? Why sometimes programmers look that fucking stupid??
