Time travel?

This whole thread is moot. We have yet to reach a true understanding regarding the nature of time, and therefore any concept of time travel cannot be explored or hypothesized. I hope soon we know enough to ask questions that will take us where we need to go :)

Make your own 6800 Ultra out of a 6800 GT?

Well, the 6800 GT has 16 pipelines. So does the Ultra. Technically, they could run at the same speed, assuming that several different conditions are met: A. The fabrication process on which they are produced is tried and true. (This means higher yields and a better chance of getting a decent...

Steven Hawking changes his mind about black holes

Ah. It appears that you have a much more thorough understanding of physics than I do, which isn't surprising because I've only really had a year of it so far... heh, 6 or 7 to go. I'm not sure that I agree with you entirely about needing to have a way to really test a theory before it is...

Steven Hawking changes his mind about black holes

As far as I know, light does have an effective mass, but no "rest mass" (it can never be at rest). I believe the effective mass of light would be it's kinetic energy divided by c^2, although assuming it had no mass this would give it absolutely no kinetic energy and therefore no movement...

Steven Hawking changes his mind about black holes

Well, just theorizing: As things get smaller, accelerating them or maintaining their speed requires less energy (less mass and therefore less energy). So, if there is a threshold where the energy of the particle overcomes the energy that gravity asserts on the particle, theoretically it could...

Hitachi 250GB 8MB IDE drive - $109 AR

Agreed. I've had a lot of drives in my time (~5 IBM (2 Deathstar), 2 Maxtor, 3 WD, 1 Seagate), and as far as I can tell the WDs are more prone to failure than any of the others. Of those 3 drives, 2 have failed (both were newer releases... one 160gig RMA'd, and a 120gig.). One of the two...

Federal judge says partial-birth abortion ban unconstitutional

This forum, in itself, is the reason that it should be legal. We all disagree. None of us know when a baby begins consciousness. So, as it is, personal beliefs begin to crowd out all forms of logic and reason. Well all disagree. We all agree that we all disagree. If you don't believe abortion...

Hard Drive Booting Problems

I would bet that your problem is the low-level motherboard/ata drivers already installed and initialized in the install of winXP on your 80gig drive. Try reinstalling windows on it.

KV8 Pro Powering Down By Itself Before Post

Also, a quick note that I've seen stump many seasoned troubleshooters: Look on your PSU, there should be a little 110/220v switch. Make sure it's in the correct position, otherwise your system will only power on, not post. (Should be in the 110 position). Other than that, make sure the RAM is...

Earth to moon trip, "weighlessness?"

This is correct... theoretically at least. Assuming you have two gravity wells at correct distances, the net gravity can be zero. Again, this is theoretical, and it is entirely possible that there is no place in the universe where the net gravity is zero. I'm not a physicist, but I was...
