imho, the movie can be best described as a kind of a visual aid for those who have read LOTR... I would highly suggest reading the books before you go see the movie, if you do, the movie will make a lot more sense.
3) The reason that Gandalf does not lift them over the broken bridge (something...
IE6, Outlook, Office 2000, Visual Studio 6.0, WinRAR 2.90, Ghostscript 7.03, GSview 4.1, Photoshop 6.0, Dreamweaver, 3DSM R3.1, Maya 3.0, LaTeX, Fireburner 2.12... each one of the above is used at least once or twice a week, and usually more
thanks RemyCanad, that was very interesting... Nefrodite, I think that RemyCanad might have been referring to my brother, and since he probably doesn't care which console he gets as long as he gets one, then I guess his opinion doesn't matter that much... well, he's not paying for it, lucky...
I would definitely get a second computer in that case, especially if you're at school (college?), because that way you don't have to argue with (insert person here) about who needs to use it more... I would get something like an epox 8kha+ (or any KT266A mobo), an AMD XP 1600+, 0.5GB RAM, and a...
1) when I was 10 years old we (parents, brother, me) went for a vacation in Europe and while wading in a river I stepped on a broken glass bottle, I felt a sharp pain in my foot, saw red stuff floating down the river, and started screaming my head off (the glass hit the bones)
2) dislocated the...
The problem with these kinds of decisions is that both now and in june '02 there will always be something new that will come out soon (3, 6, 9, 12 months)... and I bet that both now and in june '02 and in december '02, etc... there will always be something worth waiting for. I think you have to...
so you are saying that:
1) PS2: older hardware, but better game library
2) XBox: better hardware, but no future
3) GameCube: better hardware and a possible future
... I asked my brother about this and I don't think he really knows the difference between all of these consoles; lol, I think he...
dunno if a similar question has been asked before, but I want to get my smaller brother a Christmas present and I'm not sure what to buy: Playstation2 or Xbox? I don't play console games so I'm not quite sure what's better... advantages/disadvantages of both? which one should I get for him? Thanks!
i hate the SAT, I never took it... I took the ACT though and got a 34 on it; also took the SAT2 for chemistry, advanced math and something else I can't remember at the moment, got a 780/800 on the chemistry and 760/800 on the math
<< What ABM treaty??? Didn't the country that signed that treaty with us collapse under it's own oppresive weight?
Sheez, that's like trying to get a warrantee honored at a company that has GONE OUT OF BUSINESS!
Can't you just hear the phone call?
"Hello, this is America, we're calling to...
<< Tomek, actually if gravity does have a speed that is possible to measure then by definition it would not be instantaneous action. There are folks that also believ that the speed of light (and of gravity) is actually slowing with the expasion of the universe (theory now and fanciful at that...
<< Gravity is an instaneous effect. "Action at a distance" applies here. The reason is that a mass curves space time around it in such a way that it creates a gravitational field >>
rgwalt, the curvature of spacetime does not create a gravitational field; a curvature of spacetime is the...
<< Cosmic Censorship? >>
I'm assuming that you know what a singularity is... a naked singularity is basically a singularity that exists outside of a black hole, a singularity without an event horizon. Naked singularities can lead to a breakdown of predictability and determinism, among many...

Newton was the one that advocated action at a distance, however the effect is inadmissible in GTR! Newton's laws are, after all, just an approximation of what really happens.
ahh, but what I want to see is how ToE (Theory of Everything) will solve the paradoxes between QM and GTR... I'm particularly interested in the problem of Cosmic Censorship and naked singularities, thought by many to be the most important question in GTR
A gravitational field is basically a curvature of spacetime; it has no mass so I don't think it should even be considered. Besides what you're suggesting is instantaneous action at a distance, something that violates relativistic causality. Nice try though :D
A tachyon is a theoretical particle that is supposed to travel faster than the speed of light. They are also supposed to generate Cerenkov radiation. But seeing how nobody has been able to detect Cerenkov radiation in vacuum the existence of tachyons is highly debatable. And if they do exist...
oh, yeah, we know what happens around black holes, we just don't know what happens beyond the Schwarzschild's radius... if you people are more interested in this stuff I would suggest reading John Earman's book "Bangs, crunches, whimpers and shrieks - Singularities and acausalities in...
No, the speed of light does not increase beyond c in the vicinity of black holes, that is impossible, because it would violate the general theory of relativity, however, we don't know what happens after something enters a black hole because light cannot escape from one, it is infinitely...
I also think that the US should back out of this situation and cut military support for Israel... but then, if we do, and things go bad for the Israelis, who supposedly have nukes, this might get a lot worse.
first of all if I like a game that I've downloaded (Unreal, half-life, etc.) I will buy it if it has a reasonable price tag; ($50 or less) same goes for music CDs.... however, there's no way I'm going to pay $20k for software like Maya; even a student license costs about $5k and it's only for as...
I would agree that the Hobbit is more of a children's book, nevertheless it's a good book... the trilogy is much more serious and harder to read. As far as the poems go, they're not very important to the storyline in the book, but, as it was already said, it gives good insight into the history...
yes, it definitely beat the option of having the US invade Japan and both sides losing millions of people, both soldiers and civilians... besides it showed the terrible effects of atomic weapons
I would also have to say that the bank robbery scene in Heat is one of the best one... especially if you turn up the sound volume (neighbors came over to see what was going on :D)
