It looks like Quantum Mechanics is getting yet another theory. This time it’s Decoherence. It works together all the seperate collapse theories, so no conflicts there. (The Role of Decoherence in Quantum Mechanics). It also explains why small systems can remain in a state of flux and big systems don’t. [...]
JaySafe Systems has the clearest network cable pinout diagrams I have ever seen. If you make these sort of cable every now and again and can never remember which wires go where, this site is for you!
My university maths lecturer would have said: ‘are you sure you really want to do all that work?’. This of course applies to the solution of the taylor polynomial for cos. Why not drop an extra term, and use the identity cos(x) = cos(pi – x). So that’s exactly what I plan [...]
In part 1 of how-to-draw-circles given arbitrary details about them I discussed how to find a circle’s radius given the length of the arc & chord. Now what?
Well if you are given radius (r) and (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) as two points on the circle’s edge, you can calculate (cx, cy) the center of the [...]
Ever wanted to calculate the radis of a circle just knowing the length of an arc & it’s chord. Well after a lot of searching I found just that. The great step of faith was realising that you need to use a Taylor expasion for the trig function. Here’s a very kewl [...]
It seems that Microsoft have built in P2P networking as part of their advanced networking toolkit for XP SP1. Pity this will only run on the latest and greatest version of windows. But it does raise an interesting notion that p2p networks much like the Internet may change the way we think about [...]
it’s amazine what’s out there *grin*. you can find everything from Hacking Billy Mouth Bass to Borrowed Time
After the viewing of The Prophecy, and during the game of Munchkin (which i didn’t bother to play) I was browsing the net for arb stuff…
– Checking up on when, why and how the world will or won’t end
– and How exactly does that subspace physics work?
Check out the marlarky test offered by mensa.
Malarky asks questions we ask ourselves, but seldom know the answer. Do you know the answer?
do you reckon we can we get smaller? Is this sort of tech going to help moore’s law for a while, or have we maxed out already?
(but then you would have read these is you read slashdot)
