Thanks you inspired me to change mine a bit.
You know there is a Chuck Norris video game?
Made me pause for a bit. Its so awesome, your Chuck Norris, you can eat hearts and kill ninjas. Just not me.
Find it here.

First.. I must pay homage to the tireless ones who keep this tread going...
(bows, kisses hand or ring, depending)

To the question... No, a sound is not made since sound is just vibrations against your ear drum which are then turned into electrical impulses of various frequencies that travel to your brain and then translated by the (I forgot which lobe of the brain controls sound)anyway, this is then crossreferenced with your memory synapsis to tell what type of sound you felt (yes, felt, remember sound is only vibrations).

With that said... Do the other trees react to the vibrations... :?:

sound does not require human sensation to exist, if we use the definition that sound is a perturbation of air in waves of variable density. what if the sound was heard and startled a rabbit? (I know, go ask the rabbit if he heard it.)

But, go in a dark room at night and turn on the light... watch the dark leak out!

What if there is no rabbit?

Seriously though, Its you guys who scare away the girls! Sheesh. WHat happend to science being the cool thing to do ?

We are not scaring anyone! Now, when our organization has been established we can continue science.

I must think of a new signature... Help is appreciated!!!

Edited for grammar mistake.

WE gotta get back to science now.
Any suggustions on what to replca the space shuttle with?

43 pages... I still find it hard to believe that this thread is still going, and how far away from the original point it is (which is a good thing :wink: )

Reply to randomizer

wow, i dont have time to read all the posts, but, wow, how did it get to 43 pages??

Anyway... All I have to say is, I have calculators faster than the OP's computer.

Reply to SanderElite

We have abacuses faster than what the OP has. I've used pencils with more processing power than that excuse for a paperweight.
@randomizer
We've stop viewing this in terms of how far its strayed from the orginal thread's point, but how close we are to insanity.

Here is one some gaming buddy argued with me:

Does electricty travel at the speed of light?

Reply to CompTIA_Rep

That depends, the formula for the drift speed (flowing charge) of the electrons is:

I=nAvQ

where

I is the electric current
n is number of charged particles per unit volume
A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor
v is the drift velocity, and
Q is the charge on each particle

The best example is the CRT where the particles are traveling at 1/10 the speed of light.
However the signal or electromagnetic waves travel at light speed based on Maxwell's Equations
I'll research the links, I pulled this out of my Military Electronics books.

Nice reply, thats more then I would have expected.

Reply to CompTIA_Rep

I commanded that we get back to science and so we shall.
We all know that matter exists in the three basics states that is to say, solids, liquids and gases. That being said though in what catagory do we classify fire into?
Or is it that fire and other high energy types of matter, such as the electricity discussed above fall into the realm of plasma?

Reply to dasickninja

4 types. solid liquid gas and plasma.

Fire is not what you think. What you see (red flames) is the air that has been heated to a point where it gives off light. Since the light is red (aka most fire), its still a warm fire, and not a hot heat, as compaired to a blue fire. So you are just looking at air when you see fire. Nothing special.

Reply to CompTIA_Rep

So fire is just the light given off fromthe process of superheating gases.
Kind of like the ligh given off by the Sun.

Reply to dasickninja

No, not quite like how light is given off by the sun.

Think of it as this. If you have a range stove, and turn it up to high, it glows red because the iron is hot. If you could turn it up to a higher temperature, it would heat the air around it making it glow red too. (since heat rises, the hot red air would rise, like a flame. But that wouldnt happen on a stove unless something was burning, like a slice of bread lol.

Reply to CompTIA_Rep

I though fire was the burning gases released from the material being burned.

Sorry, I got distracted by something else (cute blonde in the office)
i just realised that comment made no sense.. (I polity bow out)

Reply to OldGoat

The object being burned has enough energy to keep the process going, kind of like a chain reaction (aka buring fuel). The gasses being release (in most cases, such as wood) is really just plain old air, mixed with some of the object, like carbon (in wood) which is why you dont want to breathe it in.

Thanks for the clearification. What keeps the thermonuclear reaction that happens in the sun from, say expanding to epic levels (the entire solar system). Is it simply just the force of gravity.

i just opened a case from the trash last night and low and behold...a p-90 socket 5 inside..a cd drive...sound and video onboard and a 540 hd and a 3com network card

i beleive i will overclock it to 120 and sell it...i may need to add a fan to the heatsink

Reply to pike

I have a p-100 and it has a fan. Any cpu has a fan, it depends of the angle you're viewing! :wink:

Reply to vikris

You should offer to sell it to the OP so he can make an OverClocked Cluster Array.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Although it may in fact be his :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dear God in heaven, I knew it would eventually come back to this. [/horror] :lol:
I've got a Pentium 2 and a Pentium Pro. Thats as old as it gets.

Reply to dasickninja

*wonder*

Reply to pike

You know, seeing this thread (regardless of how absurd it is) makes me marvel at just how far technology has come since that old pentium was top of the line. Even now, some of the latest graphics cards have more ram on them than both the hard drive and the system memory put together from the computer that originally spawned this thread, not to mention that just the gpu alone is on the order of 10x faster than that system's cpu.

Bearing that in mind, it makes me wonder just how much more powerful future systems will be so that 10 or 15 years down the road, we will look at the new Core Duo/ Quadro machines and laugh.

By the way, this is officially the longest running thread built on absurdity that I've ever seen.

Because of gravity.

Is the credibility tied with the post count?

Reply to vikris

no. Sadly its not.

And the Sun will expand past the orbit of Earth when it dies. But that is a different question.

We will all die in 4.3 billion years. And the sun will be nothing more then a white dwarf.

I will have my own spaceship of course, which will be powered by a stick one lightyear accross, and have a brickwall attached to one end.

Reply to CompTIA_Rep

Mine's powered on improbability. What are you running?

Reply to dasickninja

Good morning folks!

The oldest any of my PCs (that I still own) get is 2 P3 800s that I have acting as a side table in my apartment.

can it be thought of as layers in photoshop? like light is one layer, heat is another layer, and the reactions another layer?

So was I, I had a Cyrix 166+, 384MB SIMM, 5GB & 1.2GB HDD, 16MB Matrox Millenium GPU, 16 bits sound card (I forget the company)

I still have a DX4-100 Pakard-Bell running DOS 6 and Win 3.11 (heh, baby)

Reply to OldGoat

Dear GOD! Im only 22 and my computer storage house (aka garage) is filled with computers much older then yours, you panzies.

On my desk at work I have:

An unopened VLB 2mb videocard
A computer stick (joystick) for a 386, it has 24 programmable buttons.
Unopened software for windows 3.1.

At my house, I have 15 or more computeres older then the p133's. Plenty of 386's and 486's. I have a few cyrix processors, and a few of the old chip speed doublers for the 486's.

I have a 20mhz laptop running windows 2.0. I still use it to program C++.
An old 28 inch RGB computer monitor (rgb input, not VGA).
I have countless external serial modems under 28.8bps. And a basket full of old simm memory.

Reply to CompTIA_Rep

I have a 200 (I think) baud modem. You actually have to take the phone receiver and put it onto the modem for it to work.

Reply to gm0n3y

HEHE I was what? 5 when those were around?

Reply to CompTIA_Rep

I have also owned many old computers (commodore 64, macs, p1 166, etc). I just have the good sense to toss them (or at least give them away). I am actually giving one of my p3s (that I stole from work) to one of my friends (once I get a new side table).

Oh yeah, and slurpees are awesome (2nd best beverage after beer).

It wasn't my modem, I took it from my parents cause I thought it was hilarious. I am actually the same age as you.
