OT: Another Win7 Question

He is the absolute worst things about NYC all rolled up into one asshole, so it is easy to describe other assholes with him as a reference point.

You dig, now? Seems like you are a little slow on the uptake, considering your age.

Funny that some like to analyze DLU's personality disorders and motivation, but completely miss the much more complex and interesting disorders of this one.

Funny you say it that way. The entire preoccupation of scientists is to measure. Without measurement science would not have progressed over the last 2000 years.

Politicians understand the futility of measurement. But they do their "due diligence" just in case there is something out there worth measuring, certainly not the intelligence of the voters.

Butterfly effect across the entire universe? Only the speed of light limits that.

Unlike QM type events where the observation interacts with the thing being measured, it is not the observation that limits the resolution of the measurement. It is the interaction of the object with the "thing" used to measure, in this case the photon.. Even though the star emitted the photon and you could argue this is part of the thing you wish to measure, had the photon not been emitted, the star would be in a different place and/or with a different velocity. So the measurement has this "fuzz" related to it.

Acts of gravity happen at the instantaneous level. :)

Gravitation is assumed to travel at the speed of light, and there is some experimental confirmation. The Newtonian analysis of a many-body system is bad enough without adding finite velocity to gravitation. The mind boggles.

It would take a vanishingly small amount of energy to lead to a cascade that would fling a comet into the sun, which could change its history, which could eventually change everything. No wonder weather forcasting is so bad.

Hey, I have a crackpot theory about dark matter: there is no dark matter. The Big Bang created a finite number of universes, and gravitation is the only interaction between those universes. So matter clumps in roughly similar places in the multiple universes.

For a limited effect, they sure seem to have quite a reach...

I was just reading an article about dark matter that was talking about a very similar theory. It seems to be a popular theory among cosmologists, these days.

Look at the Sombrero Galaxy.

The dark matter is two gigantic Hershey Kiss shaped items above and below the galaxy a million times bigger, and the galaxy (us) is a mere thin membrane between the two.

You are a pathetic worm.

Don't flatter him.

You're an idiot. And in a right world, you would get visited upon for the shit that issues from your mouth, and be made to cease breathing.

That is not healthy for you.

Go ahead, pussy Larkin. Claim that it is a threat.

He's over his head and you aren't too far behind him.

You're starting your own business, right? The thing about being in business is that you have to THINK, to do what is smart and not just what feels right.

Are you going for SBIR funding? If so, you'll need a really good proposal. I have a friend (well, OK, my older daughter) who is a PhD and she really knows the tricks for writing good grant proposals. She edits scientific papers and proposals professionally, to get them accepted.

SBIR is sort of an inside game. Just technical excellence isn't enough.

Jamie really doesn't have a clue, as he keeps on reminding us.

You are so retarded, you do not even know the colloquialism, much less how to apply it.

Nope. Never said that. BEEN in business many years.

Seems you are illiterate and have the memory of a slug.

Like I said, over your head, drowning! Slow-man's feet is doing a tap dance on your top of your head as he follows you down.
