• Longinus00: Posted Oct 06, 2009 10:23pm PDT Okay, so I'm reading this http://www.shacknews.com/extras/tos.x Which part is it exactly?
• Longinus00: Posted Oct 06, 2009 10:19pm PDT Beta is a little rough right now, I would recommend waiting for the RC unless you're okay with fixing things.
• Longinus00: Posted Oct 06, 2009 10:14pm PDT Can you guys stop whining and just upgrade to firefox + adblock? My single core a64 3200 can browse shacknews at lightning speed without needing...
• Longinus00: Posted Oct 01, 2009 11:23pm PDT Internets to the rescue! http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=50!
• Longinus00: Posted Oct 01, 2009 11:22pm PDT How in the world did you get a non integer multiplier out in front?
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 30, 2009 2:23am PDT I meant when he was talking about people who said "wave particle duality" were full of shit. The de Broglie relations show that all matter has a...
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 30, 2009 1:45am PDT I'm not sure what you're going on about but the wave particle duality comes from the fact that photons (as well as other quantum particles) will...
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 29, 2009 10:58pm PDT Think of how photons get absorbed by electrons in atoms. Play this in reverse and that's the general physics of why electrons jumping down bands...
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 29, 2009 10:52pm PDT The simplest example comes from spectroscopy. Electrons can only exist at certain energy levels (orbitals) in an atom. Therefore only certain...
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 29, 2009 9:13pm PDT No, you need to create an changing current (AC). A static current will not create a wave. Read my response to your question.
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 29, 2009 8:22pm PDT The speed of light is constant in a perfect vacuum. Optically dense medium are hardly vacuums, thus light travels slower.
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 29, 2009 8:20pm PDT The simplest antenna is just a wire of a certain length. The length determines how long of a wavelength you want to generate (and conversely, the...
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 29, 2009 8:10pm PDT I should add, electrons and protons can interact in other ways, but photons are the most common.
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 29, 2009 8:09pm PDT Electricity and photons are different things. Electrons are particles and a field is just the description of the force you'd feel around...
• Longinus00: Posted Sep 29, 2009 7:29pm PDT Unless you're actually interested in learning the math, or really need to know this for some reason, you can safely ignore the electricity and...
