Reducing voltage is a MUCH bigger lever as it reduces power CUBICly. Reducing voltage linearly also reduces frequency linearly which is why you get a cubic relationship.
wrong... it's a quadratic scaling... cubic is power 3.
A few weeks ago I was at a party listening in on some cocktail talk between some doctors and health researchers. They were commenting about how some water borne bacteria was being (they think successfully ) experimented with to boost human immunity. This bacteria is cleaned out water by public sanitation systems.
/.-ers may be interested in this article by Max Tegmark and Nick Bostrom which discusses various possibilities for doomsday (including formation of black-holes in HEP experiments). The gist of it is that we shouldn't become complacent about such events just because they haven't happened yet -- rather the fact that we observe that the Earth/Solar-System/Galaxy/Universe has existed so long is simply an observational effect.
IIRC the retina has nothing to do with focusing the light. The muscles involved with your iris are responsible for that. The retina is just a backdrop for focused light to be casted onto, and fed along a nerve for your brain.
the lens focuses the light, and the iris is the aperture to the eye... the retina is the detector
it's a common misconception that black holes just suck up anything that wanders by, but remember that it's still just a large bit of mass and things can orbit it without too much ill-effect. the problem comes when the star (or whatever) gets so close that the gravity can start to destroy the star (e.g. by tearing off gas), and when you og over the event horizon, there's no coming back.

heat == infrared photon, which like optical photons,cannot escape a black hole. however, heat can be generated from the accretion disc of matter being pulled into the hole. e.g. gas being ripped off a nearby star and orbiting the hole.

mine was an Amiga 500+ - ah, those were the days.
I didnt want to go into all of that...
sure, because you sound like you really know what you're talking about

i find this amazing... you were at a party?

probably about a light-year... oort territory
i used to be as smart as a monkey, now i'm as dumb as a chimp.
or something like that
the equator is infinitely thin -- total area ~ 0. * circumference of earth = nothing. ergo, equator is free.
not very cool
don't these things automatically pass the turing test if someone clicks on their links?
I'd imagne you could have some fun with that if you could find/make one.
how about writing "If you can read this, you are being exposed to low level radiation." on a sticker?
Sigh. To easy. Give me a hard problem.
how about spelling?
Decaffeinated -- not caffeinated
thanks for that clarification!
you're seriously suggesting altering the Earth's trajectory?
pray tell what sort of resources are you talking about?
at that distance the moon is essentially projected onto the celestial sphere... i.e. 2D. you cannot distinguish topology, just shading.
yes, a useful calculation there.

perhaps the lander could have been covered by dust, or c02 frost -- therefore eliminating the weak detection seen before?
you've got one helluva memory
We're gonna need a bigger boat
Has it landed yet? Didn't think so. :)
no, but the **launch** was successful -- otherwise it would be 'mission a success'.
i remember a really good fractal terrain generating program for amiga called 'vista'. anyone else remember that?
