    Antimatter detected streaming from storms

    Once you have gamma rays being emitted, you have the energies required to produce positrons (1.022MeV minimum for pair production). The fact that the antimatter is beamed out as opposed to just following the patterns of gamma rays (in a similar manner to a cosmic air shower), and that they can...

    Weather Modification: Closer to Fact than Fiction

    Nope, depends on altitude. From memory, high cloud = good, low cloud = bad. Water molecules are by far the most effective greenhouse gas on the planet, about 100x more effective than CO2.

    Brand new portal 2 preview! 8+ mins!

    I'm going to take a pre-emptive guess and find that this has no new info or interviews with Valve employees just like all the rest that have been posted here. Guessing... guessing... correct! Nice summary, but I have no idea why you would bother posting it on a site where everybody is...

    Are We Ready For This?

    I know hardly anything about computers, but wouldn't an asymmetrical core processor, say, 1/4 of the processor (250 cores) being replaced with a single much more powerful core (that would still have much less total processing power than the 250 when using parallel code, but much more effective...

    FRINGE: IRL

    Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, "But how can it be like that?" because you will get "down the drain," into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that. - Richard Feynmann on the very subject you are discussing. While I...

    I know you're all sick of these threads but need to vent

    Your logic is sound. But at the very least, when you find out a way to sort out your problems whether it be seeing a therapist or some other means, let her know that you are taking steps to sort out what problems you may have. Keeping the relationship healthy as best you can seems a good idea to me.

    Valve & Blizzard...and no one else

    You're talking about two companies that have a reputation in starvation (or in Blizzard's case, starvation supplemented with a constant slow-drip of gruel -Edit: actually wait, that applies to TF2 as well). I probably could survive on them but I wouldn't want to. Throw in a few more companies...

    I know you're all sick of these threads but need to vent

    I am by no means a relationship guru (in fact far from it) so anyone feel free to contradict me, but I think you should let your girlfriend in. She clearly knows something is up, and if she loves you as you say then she's probably looking for you to confide in her and it's probably because she...

    SATlife2.net, I do not understand simple maths....

    3! = 6, 4! = 24. Your answer to the second question is 24. Think of it this way: D<permutations of EFG> + E<permutations of DFG> + F<permutations of DEG> + G<permutations of DEF> = 4*6 = 24.
