Wow, awesome. I'm going to download this with bittorrent right now...wait, the torrent links aren't working! Guess that's what you get get for mentioning Star Wars on/.
For anyone that's been able to download the torrents, helping to set up a mirror would be a very noble thig to do.
With regular incondecent light bulbs, the radiation peak is in the infrared. This means that most of the radiation given off is not percieved by us as light, but as heat. LEDs have a controlable bandwidth that places pretty much all the radiation in the visible and therefore they are cooler. While an LED might not techniquelly cool you down, it won't heat you up as much.
I may be greatly opposed for my view here but I really don't see what the problem with this is. If fact, I think it's a good idea. I mean, you can have the sites if you want but if you're a parent who's concerned that your underage child is BREAKING THE LAW by view pornography when he/she is under 18 years of age (yes, that is the age when it becomes legal to enter pornographic sites) then I do not see where it is wrong to be able to request that those sites be banned for your IP address. Go ahead and shoot me down for this but I actually see it as a good thing.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most things have dual nature? Doesn't mass itself even move under dual nature, just with a REALLY long wavelength? I thought I remembered my physics teaching in highschool saying something like that, but it's been a couple of years so I really could be quite wrong.
Unfortunatly I never learned how to do this sort of thing as a kid, I can image all the fun I would have had *sigh*.
However, I do remember playing the stupid lemonade game. I had pretty much figured out the system and was raking in tons of cash--or at least as far as my 4th grad self was concerned. Since that game had no save point, the next time I logged on I had to tell it how much I left with. I tried to tell it and the f***ing program told me there was no way I had that much! The stupid thing scared me so much that I still remember the story today:-P. (4th grade sucked so bad!)
Two words, red shift. As a body of mass travels at relavistic speeds, the light it gives off shifts wavelegnths. Therefore, if we know what something is composed of and hence know the spectrum of light that it would produce, we can study the spectrum of light that it DOES produce and calculate the speeds that those objects would be needing to be traveling to create such a shift in the light.
"When I was 11, I figured out that all numbers are infinite."
Saying that a number's infinite just because you can write a bunch of 0's behind it? No! Infinity is a way of classifying a SET. We say a set is infinite if you can not count the number of elements (not to be confused with a set being countable). If you were to say that all numbers can be written as infinitely repeating decimals, then you'd be right but what you said in your post is not accurate at all, sorry to burst your bubble.
Now, if you really want something to wrap your mind around, consider this. Every Integer can be written in at least two distinct manners. 1 is identical to.9999999....repeating. Here is the proof (this is fun)
There's probably a more general proof would show it true for all intergers (or anything that starts repeating 0's) but I do not know it right off hand and am way to lazy to try to figure it out myself.

Now, if you really want something to wrap your mind around, consider this. Every Integer can be written in at least two distinct manners. 1 is identical to
1) 1=1/1
2) 1/1=3/3
3) 3/3=3*1/3
4) 3*1/3=3*(.33333333...repeating)
5) 3*(.3333333333...repeating)=.999999999...repeatin
Therefore, 1=.9999999999...repeating
