Lost Balls Baker wrote: Please, Jeff. Don't even go there until you've learned basic physics... I took College Physics from Art Denison. You, on the other hand, continue to bluster and bull****- and get caught lying regularly. Unices come in several flavors, and if you were familiar with the command line interpreter idiocyncracies of several of them, you'd know they all evolved out of the same AT&T genetic ancestry. SunOS uses both version 7 and System V characteristis. The person who pontificates the loudest isn't correct by default. You are a charlatan and a fraud. -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

But I did a little google-groups search on my postings there including the words "general relativity' I stumbled onto an old thread titled "c+v" in which I had a humorous debate with a poster named "starship" who claimed to have awarded himself several "common-law doctorates" based on his life experience, and was therefore better-informed about faster-than-light objects than anyone who denied his claims. That wasn't you, was it? |

That wasn't you, was it? Continuation: One of my favorite posts to sci.physics (complete with typos): "Since the Earth orbits the sun in an ellipse, it is closer to the sun in the summer than the winter. That is why August is hotter thzan February. Due to the varying gravitational potential the Eareth sees as it moves in and out, the length of the second varies also (General Relativity). So to correct things, we move the clocks ahead in the spring by an hour and back in the fall. Side effects of theis process are seen in many other disciplines, including economics. For instance, as the second gets longer, so does the meter. Thsi causes a reduction in gasoline mileage, which impacts the market heavily enough that the price of gasoline increases every year in May, and falls in November." |

Hey, it's a free country, or a free set of internets tubes, so go for it, dude. Personally, I prefer the old school "Empty boxcars make the most noise" aphorism, but you can do what you want. Any snow left? Is there more than when I was there in December? //Walt |
