    Do you like Intel CPUs more or AMD's?

    Intel Conroe is trying to catch up to AMD best. But they have done a quick fix and scramble job. The 4MB cache Conroe in those benchmarch site are engineering sample and will not be available for mass production. What will be available is 2MB cache version. The huge cache size is to compesate...

    Why a duck's quack doesn't echo

    A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. Can physics explain this fact and how?

    Is it possible to know the future through a biological mechanism?

    If this universe is created or simulated it seem like the cpu cycle is f = c/wavelength of photon. And the tick of time would be 1/f.

    Einstein's View of Gravity in Solar Systems

    Thanks Janus for clearing this up for me. But if that is the case then the question to "what gravity really is?" is not clearly answer, cause Einstein only give us a view but not what it really is. Could it be that gravity don't really exist, it's only an effect of acceleration? Everywhere...

    Einstein's View of Gravity in Solar Systems

    It is very hard to explain in words the visual we get in our minds, so not to get everyone frustrated I will try to state it more mathematically. Mathematically(describe), the closest I can state is when the smaller mass is orbiting the denser mass at the center, the circular or elliptical...

    Einstein's View of Gravity in Solar Systems

    Planet orbit at the center of mass, make sense, and I learn something new. But what I am really interested in knowing is the Y cordinate position of the two planet. If this warping of space is true then the smaller mass must alway orbit above the bigger mass which ever way we want to define up...

    Einstein's View of Gravity in Solar Systems

    Einstein's view of gravity is a warping in space where smaller mass follow the curverture of the space created by the larger mass. I want to know if this is observed in all solar system where the smaller mass is rotating around the bigger mass above the X axis, assumming the bigger/center mass...

    Is it possible to know the future through a biological mechanism?

    From these discussions, it seem a lot of people accept the idea that time slow down at high velocity. I can't seem to fully accept this fact cause the only proof so far is a delay in the measurement instrument like a machanical clock or light clock with two reflecting mirror, for example. When...

    Is Existence the Ultimate Power Over God?

    Sintwar, I am glad you found "knowledge is power, religion is poision".

    Time does NOT Exist - Math Proof

    This idea of time do not exist/exist got me thinking about The Matrix. My appology if this discussion has already been made since I did not have time to read this whole thread. Since it is hard to prove that time do not exist/exist in our world. Let try to think of what kind of world that...

    Test Your Modem Speed - Max Performance!

    That is unlikely through a modem, even cable modem hardly get that rate of the internet unless the server you connected to is very fast and not busy. It's probably bits rate you are seeing not bytes.

    Embedded Systems: Learn About Hardware/Software & University Courses

    Look up Jack Ganssle books. But basically from my experience embedded system programming or knowlegde is best learn from experience, meaning take a project to completion. For example, pick a cpu, slap flash and ram around it, and get a program running that display through the serial port. If...

    Learning C: Writing a Linked List Problem

    first of all str should be declare: char str[] = "blabh" to ensure the compiler generate the correct code to allocate memory for the array and not just a char pointer. tail->name = str; tail->name and str point to the same data in memory, if str is a local variable then that memory is gone...

    Dimensions of Time: Exploring the Possibility of 3 Dimensions

    Yes, in a reality sense. But, theorecticaly if one could, then what does relativity suggest?

    Dimensions of Time: Exploring the Possibility of 3 Dimensions

    Why it that as the speed of an object increases, time seems to slow down for the object experiencing that acceleration/velocity? I am not an expert. But from some of the books I have read there seem to be a relationship between the speed of light and time. The closer the object reach the...
