It's a lot more sentient than the rocks in your driveway.
I don't know about that.  This one time while in a chemically enhanced state of awareness I talked to some corn and some rocks.  I found the rocks to be much older an wiser than the corn.  The rocks told me things the corn just did not know and will never know.

The problem with rocks are: they're lying sacks of shit. All the years of lying have made them hard.

Check out this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=582635.0

Personally, I rock MSE, but if I feel like something needs scanned more, then if it's small, I use virustotal. If it's large, I just scan it with malwarebytes.

I have never had a problem with malware and virus not because I had which ever antivirus software installed. It is because I am extremely careful. But if I have to recommend a solution, I would choose ESET and malwarebytes.

Just because it doesn't seem like you're infected doesn't mean you aren't. Literally visiting a webpage could infect your machine (even if you're careful). For example, MSN.com and yahoo.com have both spread malware in the past due to hacks.

0day exploits happen in the wild fairly often, and even if you do have an AV, it's not gonna stop it. It'll just detect it 2 weeks later when the virus signature is finally detected.

Japanese, mainly because of the anime/manga I've been watching ever since I was a kid. Love the culture.
Chinese would also be very handy to know.

Right now I speak 4 languages fluently and am wondering which one to target next. Wink

I'm curious why so many people know 3 or 4 languages already and I'm barely proficient in 1. Did you learn as a real young child? I don't understand how this works, I can't wrap my mind around another language, I took Spanish and French in high school and I barely know any today.

Keep at it. Once you pick up a second language, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th..is so much easier.

Scientology for sure, I don't get how people actually dub it a religion. To me, it all seems more like a Sci-Fi novel than anything else, just read the Operating Thetan article on Wikipedia and you'll see what I mean. What's more interesting is the fact that Tom Cruise is actually practicing Scientology, maybe that's because he played in too many Sci-Fi movies about aliens...? To me, this is the craziest religion that could ever exist. Some dude wrote a story and then suddenly it became a religion, and now you have to pay outrageous amounts of money to read his stories, sounds legit!

Two words:

Tax Evasion.

There isn't much you can do unless you can convince people to convert to vegetarian.

Not so much different than bird eats bird world.

But corn can scream. Who will save the corn? Killing plants is MURDER!

Might as well just eat rocks, right?

To be fair, I'm the only one married without kids Smiley

I've got a paradox...

The established method for calculating the temperature of the sun is by it's colour in reference to molten iron.

Why is a blue LED not hotter than the sun?  

That's just you not understanding basic science.

physicists are made of atoms. a physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.


Trying to understand one's self is NOT a paradox.

Perhaps you would care to explain it if this science is so basic.

The amount of power going into an LED is very, very small. If you were to put more than the power of the sun into an LED, it'd be hotter than the sun -- and a good chance not blue anymore.

The color of an LED doesn't really show it's temperature, as the temperature is invisible to the naked eye (because it's so low). We use shadings to show the color.

This doesn't explain why colour can be used to determine the sun's tempeture but not that of an LED. You've simply stated that the sun has more power.

If I have enough LEDs strung together and power them all with the equivalent power of the sun they still won't be any hotter.


If you pump over 3.83 * 10^26watts into the LED, it would be as hot as the sun.

This is basic science man.

OK, so make a single LED the size of the sun and power it with the energy of the sun. Can you still say it's as hot as the sun?

Yes, or very, very close to the same temperature as the sun. Do they not teach basic laws of thermodynamics during primary school anymore?

Useing primary school basic science as the foundation for your argument simply allows you to make a jack-ass rebuttle of the question while dodging any intellectual footwork.

Clearly the sun sized blue LED is going to be cool compaired with the so-called established temperature of the sun.

Give this a read, please: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

And this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

Then come back to me. The LED doesn't have to be sun-sized. As long as the same amount of power is going into it, it should be around the same temp as the sun.

I agree that the sun should be the same temperature as a sun sized LED. However established science disagrees and states that it's much hotter based solely on its colour. It then goes on to claim based on these rediculious temperatures that the sun is fueled by nuclear fusion.

You've not provided an argument as to why the sun's temperature can be determined soley by its colour but an LED cannot.

Being blue in colour the LED should be many orders of magnatude geater in temoerature than the sun using this methology.

 

This is my final reply, I give up. Seriously, you literally don't read what I say anyway -- why should I waste time saying it?

The LED uses a semiconductor material to produce light.

Give this article a read: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/led.htm

An LED produces roughly 76.9 lumens per watt, but also produces a little bit of heat (as all the energy isn't converted to light thanks to thermodynamics). A blue LED and a red LED both use the EXACT same amount of power and both produce the EXACT same lumens per watt. Why? Because the nearly transparent plastic case. That's where the different colors of lights come from. The heat / amount of energy input has absolutely fucking NOTHING to do with an LED color, at all.

Now onto more theory, stellar classification:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_classification#Harvard_spectral_classification

According to YOUR false / logic, a light bulb would be ~7,500 - 10k kevin. The moon would the same (white light and all). Your monitor screen would be the same. The LED in your display/monitor would vary between the colors behind it (the title on this site is much hotter than the white background on this site). See how wrong your logic is?

Now do you understand why I was saying this was simple fucking science. I mean, there's absolutely nothing complicated about it -- other than you confusing light output with a transparent container.

The welfare system in place encourage irresponsible behavior.

So, if you are depended on government on handout, then have as many kids as you can.

If you are paying everything on your own, then you need to have stable income and stable relationship before even thinking about having offspring.



No, if you want your kids to succeed in the future, you need to have a stable income. Stable relationship isn't required to have an offspring, really.

As for the government handouts, the welfare system is in place for the kids, not the adults. Would you rather have a few abusers of the system, or kids that are literally starving to death?

I watched the south park episode with the game of thrones guy.

I need a loooong break from television.

There is episode of South Park about Game of Thrones? I did not know that. Which episode is that exactly?

Wikipedia will give you an answer faster than the forums, also cuts down the pointless post:

Whats this mean? I'm lost with it, over my head they say.

It means just because you live in a country with free speech doesn't mean an online community (such as bitcointalk.org) allows you to host your bullshit statements on the site.

Just because you have free speech doesn't mean you can go to the newspaper and say whatever you want. The newspaper can reject your submission, and there's nothing you can do about it. (Sure, you could start your own newspaper with blackjack and hooker, and then forget about the newspaper part, but that's beside the point).
