  9. Re:Every day.... on Miscalculation Invalidates LHC Safety Assurances · · Score: 1

    no, I am saying the LHC could make particles quite different from the limited set which we have flying through the earth. And those dangerous particles might be formed elsewhere under unique conditions but either not accelerated away from their origins or destroyed by processes unknown to us. I did not say there were black holes inbound.

    learn some quantum field theory please - particle creation is a function of momentum, spin and energy conservation.

    you're spewing big words in ignorance.

    Lorentz invariance is for special relativity, is localized, and it is violated even in our QED and Standard Models. It certainly doesn't and can't apply for the cosmos.

    Learn some quantum field theory please - particle creation is a function of momentum, spin and energy conservation.

    we don't have a quantum gravitational theory, your speculation is baseless, you're again trying to apply limited models of one realm to another.

  13. Re:Every day.... on Miscalculation Invalidates LHC Safety Assurances · · Score: 1

    your argument has no merit. the LHC could create something nasty at rest with respect to earth's reference frame, different than cosmic ray bombardment. And almost without exception cosmic rays are either protons, helium nuclei, or electrons. So quit parroting the party line....

    no, those businesses can pursue legitimate and non-obnoxious advertising means. otherwise, let them and their employees starve and die, and let the buzzards pick the rotten meat off their bones. Most are Indian anyway.

    45 million coupons issued, 18 million of them used for rebate. 24.5 million converter boxes sold. 600 being sold on eBay at the moment. what's the problem again? The hoarders, if any, will have to sell them dirt cheap at a loss.

    eh, most students don't know "critical mass" for a spherical shape of uranium of given enrichment, that's actually a pretty hairy calculation. Pure U-235's value is published but who outside of a hard care geek is going to remember it? And as for a "pile", of blocks of fissionable material and moderator and support structure, I've a big thick textbook on that subjects, ain't easy at all.

    they didn't contribute GNOME. In fact, one might say they so far as to try to steal it, passing it off as the "Sun Java Desktop", when it wasn't Sun's and isn't Java based.

    Sun's previous hostile attitude toward FOSS including FUDing Linux and financing Linux's enemies has really come to bite them in the ass, now they want to be FOSS leader but it's too little too late.

  25. Re:Um.. WHY? on Most Hackable Coupon-Eligible DTV Converter? · · Score: 1

    now that pisses me off. Yes, there was a time when schematics were included with all purchased appliances, from pocket radios to TV to washing machines. Sometimes in the instructions, sometimes in sticker inside back panel. But it was expected that a person should be able to take a device to any competent technician and he would have the information supplied from you to repair it. But now we've restructured our civilization to pander to idiots who would rather throw the TV in the garbage and buy new rather than fix a frayed power cord, much less replace a component.
