Stuff like Dark Matter and Dark Energy is not going to be understood by just studying Astronomy. Fields this big are going to be understood in small steps through many vectors. We'll need more understanding in Cosmology, Particle Physics, Mathematics, maybe even things we beleive we understand like Thermodynamics. Phyics is a field that continually borrows from itself, understanding from one area leads to advances in another.
The LHC could find super symmetic particles, if it does find any then Mathematics and Cosmology can go forward with more data to try and understand Dark Matter. That's just one example of how the LHC can help advances in these huge fields.
There's a lot of bad Christian music, but there are a few bands out there that are really spectacular. Everyone probably remembers Jars of Clay, they had some good stuff, especially in their second album. My favorite is a black-death metal band called Extol. Their first album was one of the most experimental extreme metal albums I've heard. Another good one WAS Underoath, however I don't like any of their recent stuff.
Give Babylon 5 more of a chance, the first season is terrible, to the point that I had a hard time getting through. But someone promised me that if I held out to season two I would be hooked and that I would think it the best Sci Fi out there. Well, the second promise never held, but it is my second favorite Sci Fi out there. And once you hit season 3 you won't be able to stop even to sleep.
I have a friend who worked as a net admin there. I never heard about it on the news cause they worked all weekend to get it back up and running again.
I never asked about much of the details, but what he did tell me is that a virus got into one of the computer (most likely a server, I'm guessing) and spred to every machine. I'm also guessing it was a targetted attack, not a random thing, by one of the students. Wish I could tell ya more but that's all I asked about.
There is a school up here in Saskatchewan, Canada that uses Red Hat on on their machines. A few years ago they got hit by a virus that propagated through the entire network and knocked the whole thing out. Granted, it was probably a virus written for Red Hat specifially, but Linux does have virus's.
That is refering to a free virus removal tool given out for free by Kaspersky. That's not even an active scanning engine.
Personally Kaspersky was one of the best I've ran. But currently I'm running McAfee, *gasp* I know, everyone one on/. hates it but I find the Enterprise version really good. I'd never run their current home version though.
On a grande scale general relativity holds true. It's on a quantum scale that it's flaws start to show, this is why so many scientists have given their lives to trying to find the so called "theory of everything". The model that describes all the known forces.
However, the market is much, much larger now than it was with Atari and NES. So they can sell far more copies and make their money that way.
Personally, I've cut back on buying games, albeit that's due to my wallet being more empty these days. A game has to be really good and I have to need to play it online with friends now in order for me to spend $60. I'd buy more than twice as many games if they were $30 each, so they'd make more money from me if they dropped the price.
Actually, CBC has most of their shows for downstream. My favorites are Rick Mercer Report and The Hour, both with a decent layout and decent speeds (for downstream).
I could never watch CTV, it was just filled with crap sitcoms and shitty news. But that's more a personal preferance (don't like most popular TV).
I like the idea of CanCon but I do agree that it give us a lot of crap. Then again, it has given us some good stuff...although there is no way to tell if some of the good show would have gotten off their feet without those laws or not. So there is no way to really prove if they've helped the good Canadian artists or just the bad ones.
I reply as WHAT??
bioligy?! sorry, but the exploration of how planets and moons are created, is that not important? There are so many other ideas we can gleam from either, from chemistry to geolegy. The environments are drasically different, so the information is differnt. Why does life have to be the only thing?
That's one of the points, to show people how little we know of the ocean. It could possibly help the science community exchange ideas on the ocean or maybe even fuel more interest into exploring those large expanses.
Our current theories of gravity and attraction break down on not only the cosmic scale but the subatomic scale as well. It would be great to have someone like Einstein or Newton click on a light bulb. However, I think in these days of shared information it will probably be a lot of small discoveries that will tell the tale.
I like the convenience of Steam, it's just so slow! No one else has really complained about this, so it could, for some strange reason, just be my setup, but even after a fresh install it takes forever to after booting Steam to verify each game is updated and download the updates. Then, the games take a long time to boot, the only think I can think of is that Steam is slowing the booting process down. Eg. Starcraft boots in a few seconds, Halflife takes a minute for Steam to boot and verify updates and another 30 seconds to launch the game. It's not that much time, but for new games it is, TF2 takes way too long to boot.
When I had my album printed to CD's they first saved all the data to a slab of glass and encased it in steel. It will last a lot longer than magnetic media or CD's and DVD's, however it won't last indefinately as glass is technically a liquid. Still it will last a lot longer than most media we know.
I always laughed when on maps of unlimited res people would go carrier rush. 1 or 2 defiler and hydro's up the ass will demolish them, then their base is free for the picking.
Actually someone went over the data again and found that the temperatures were inacurately recorded and that 4 of the 10 hotest years in the last 100 were in the 1930's, only 2 were in the 1990's.
Yup, a representative democracy doesn't always do what the people what, or voted for in the first place. I wish we could vote on some critical decisions, but we put someone in power and they do whatever they want for 4 years.
It would be impossible to calculate how the spread of astroid chunks would go. So many of them could still head for earth. The size of chunks could still pose a real big threat. There have been studies about how an astroid did as much damage at the Tunguska event as it did. Some think that it exploded before it hit the ground causing everything to go up in flames from the sudden heat.
There's also evidence that this happened in Africa and Asia thousands of years ago because glass was found on the surface of the desert.
In summer we have lots of places that will get 24 hrs of sunlight (or at least twilight).
They're lucky they're not doing it in winter though, they would never make it, heh.
There is nothing new here. We know that photons hitting magnetisphere's emit radio waves. If you get far enough away from the city you can use a car radio to listen to Jupiter.
I'm running a pretty decent computer, nothing that should take a lot of time to load counterstrike, formatted not too long ago either. The problem lies with Steam taking a while to load, then bring up the games, then verify each game, then decide to launch the program I want, then verify if it's updated, then actually launch it. I hate having to wait a minute before it even brings the game splash screen to me. Dawn of War launches in 10 seconds.
I find it an unnessesary step, and a slow one too. I guess it's not as buggy as it used to be (when it came out it was horrid), but there's still issues, for one, RealTek Audio doesn't work with it. Although, to be fair that may not be their fault, but my mic works on everything else.
but the whole program is sluggish as HELL. It takes me 5x as long to launch any program from Steam as it (probably) would without. What I mean is when I launch any game or program it launches pretty quickly, but I end up waiting for nearly a minute anytime I want to play anything from Steam, even Audiosurf or Natural Selection, which are small games.
Not saying it a horrible idea. I love being able to buy games online in an easy store. But for the love of god, why can't you make the program a little less sluggish. Oh, and fix the problem with Realtek, I can't use my mic.:-P
That's extremely expensive to pay a person to filter spam manually. Your right though, it is cheeper than having each end user filter it themselves.
I'm suprised no one has mentioned a hosted solution like Postini or better yet Frontbridge (although I don't really know what happened to the later since Microsoft bought it). It's extremely easy to implement and it uses many of the techniques people are saying here such as ability to block by country, flagging IP address that are sending spam (rating the e-mails, not blocking outright), plus your standard Spamassasin keyword rating system. Also, because of the rating system you can determin what you what to happen with the e-mail after by what catagory it falls under (high, low, medium or no threat).
And to curb most people worry about this method, no the company doesn't save any e-mails that are processed, they're just send on to the e-mail address.
It may be more expensive than a software product but it's a hell of a lot cheeper than paying a yearly wage to someone.
I actually think they've put out some good stuff in Load and Reload. Granted, it's not the Metallica that everyone loved, you have to take it as a seperate band almost. And S&M was simply amazing, they weren't the first band to add a symphony to metal, but it worked great.
On the other hand, St. Anger was rubbish. It was thrown together and displayed that they just don't 'have it' anymore. I checked out the new stuff and while it does have a 'light shining through the clouds' feel to it, I still think it's pretty terrible. James can't even sing anymore, he's screwed up his vocals. I think he needs to become an alcoholic again, lol. I'm not looking forward to their new album.
