    Whats the speed of dark ?

    The universe is created from light and darkness (the darkness gives the light form). Total darkness is indistinguishible from total light. BTW, for some fun: (Why No One Has Measured The Speed Of Light)

    Password Alerts

    Your "real world" reminds me of one of my favorites: pharmacy clerk: Mrs. Johnson says her doctor called in a new prescription, but I can't find it. pharmacist: It's on the computer. clerk (after a long search): I still can't find it. Pharmacist walks over to the computer, pulls a Post-it...

    Password Alerts

    Ok, I just got my alert. Some time ago, I decided that I have just too many accounts to have a unique password for every one. So I started using simple, disposable passwords for all those many accounts that are non-essential, or where it is just not a big deal if it got hacked. Most of these...

    Password Alerts

    Wouldn't it make more sense if, instead of everyone having to come up with different passwords for every account, every website uses a different hash? Then, matching hashes would signify nothing and hackers would not be able to infer anything from them. Ah, but that would require them to...

    keeping getting emails at my old email address?

    I have the same problem, I would really like to get rid of the old email. My account shows it has updated, but the digest still goes to the old address.

    What happened to bullets that missed in Aerial Battles?

    I remember some years back, reading of someone in California killed by a bullet falling from the sky. Whether lethal or not, I certainly wouldn't want to be hit by one. Just imagine having someone drop one on your head from a 2nd-floor window. Probably wouldn't kill you, but wouldn't be fun.

    Windows 10 photo importing - advice needed !

    In your second screenshot, what happens if you double-click on the "External Memory" icon in the right pane? It should open that as a folder, showing all your photos. I'm using Windows 7, so I'm going by memory here. Windows increasingly tries to "simplify" things, but only succeeds in...

    Factors of Scale

    I'm not sure where his (0.0001*span^3.2238) came from. He has plotted weight (oz.) vs. span (in.) on a log-log plot. So I think he has calculated the slope to derive that relationship. On his line, 100 oz. crosses at about 64 in. So, (0.0001*64^3.2238)~=66.5. Ok, but I think the coefficient...

    Factors of Scale

    I don't understand how you arrived at some of these values. If 'K' is your scaling factor, all lengths scale the same, K^1. If you are scaling x 2, then fuselage length, wingspan, are all x 2. (2^1 = 2) I also don't understand what you are asking by "wing loading". Do you mean you are...
