    What the heck is this

    it's not huge. it's just much brighter than the galaxy. stars are spherical, and they do not have 4 spikes of light making a plus sign hanging out of them. it's an effect due to overexposure. if you took the same photo with the correct exposure to see that star, it would be a speck or round...

    50 mW Laser Pointers?

    you weeners are going to blind someone. visible wavelength lasers over 1mW cw are a blinding hazard, meaning powerful enough to burn the retina -- creating blind spots. working with this type of laser as part of your job requires eye protection.

    Need some help from fellow atheists

    Dude. These people are dumb and/or have a remarkable aptitude for self-delusion. There is no point arguing with them. Magic makes more sense to them than natural selection. They need a 2000 year old book to tell them what is right or wrong. The appropriate response is to just laugh. A...

    Why does stuff exist? Where did we come from?

    The fact that you do not understand something is no reason to go bandying about the word "God". It just means that you are too dumb to understand that thing. Please, grow up people. There is no tooth fairy. There is no afterlife. There is no vacation land in the clouds.

    So I met an old friend today (tonight even). It's been 9 years since we last spoke.

    Even then it's a crapshoot. Most analysts cannot predict earnings out more than one quarter with any semblance of accuracy. They are only decent at the "next-quarter" earnings because the company gives them guidance. Even worse are their predictions for stock price. Once they have predicted...

    once people have food shelter and security, money really does not make them much happier. there's always someone richer than you are. http://repositories.cdlib.org/...&context=anderson/dotm graph on page 4 is interesting.

    Which processor... e6750/e6850/q6600?

    wha? how is the G0 Q6600 "faster"? in most benches it's the same or slower than the other two. i think he needs to find photoshop benches. in games, the Q6600 is going to be the slowest. i'm having the same dilemma myself. not sure which one to get, although i'm leaning to the E6750 with...

    Kaspersky Troubles

    not directly related but Kaspersky has a free version. i think it's the antivirus only without the firewall and other stuff. http://www.activevirusshield.c...irus/freeav/index.adp? the Kaspersky processes appear as "avp.exe" in task manager. you can just kill them there directly, unless...

    Is vista upgrade the way to go?

    What's the deal about buying the upgrade and then ordering another DVD? Why would they give you a discount on the upgrade version and then give you the full one for free? I don't get it. How do they verify that you already have XP before they send you the new full vista disk? Is this the...

    Another math problem

    Hardly. There is no information whatsoever given about the third child. Another way to think of it is: goto every house in the world where there are 3 children, at least 2 of whom are boys. The third kid is a girl 50% of the time. The question is not, "what percent of three kid families...

    Questions RE; Short Pulse Laser Technology

    There is nothing particularly revolutionary about this laser. The only unusual feature is the center wavelength (medical applications tend to use infrared). It is more of an engineering feat because it is half to 1/4 the size of similar systems. They do not give detailed specs on their...

    Why are parabolic wifi antennas not solid

    No. There is no need to calculate it that way. For any reasonable conductor much thinner than the wavelength of radiation, it is just simple Fraunhofer diffraction. There is no mode cutoff. All of the exact modes for a cage with holes in it have field amplitude outside the cage. Cages with...

    proposed new build - any problems here?

    yes, this is the dilemma. i also understand the 8600GTS can offload a lot of video decode cycles (including HD) from the CPU? but Noema is probably right about the 7950GT in games.

    PartyPoker Trojan/Spyware Opens New Browser Window

    <div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Originally posted by: PurdueRy I like the component choices buy theres a couple things to consider: Do you REALLY need to spend over $200 on a mobo? Why not the P35 chipset board made by gigabyte? 4 gigs is a bit excessive. Do you need it for anything in...

    proposed new build - any problems here?

    my old p4 system is a bit sluggish. the new system will be used for a bit of everything. office work, games, scientific computing. i'm trying to make it as quiet as possible. aside from the fact that the cpu isn't available yet, are there any red flags here i should know about before i buy...
