OYVAX Admin News and discoveries Calculating The Megalithic Yard by thoth at Thu Jul 17 12:38:01 2003 In The Book of Hiram, authors Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas propose a method by which ancient engineers may have calculated the Megalithic Yard. As you may know, this unit of length measurement was discovered by Professor Alexander Thom when he surveyed over a thousand megalithic structures across Northern Europe. It is the lowest whole number unit of measurement used in all of them, the reasoning being that engineering tasks are easier to accomplish using multiples of who... Rant-U-Like Email Litterbugs by Simon Banton at Wed Mar 12 14:58:42 2003 {rant on} Sure, it's *fine* for you not to bother tidying up after yourself. So what if a sysadmin has to deal with the bounces when your HotMail/Yahoo/AOL account is unreachable, or over quota, or you didn't use it for 3 months so it's been closed down? It's not like it's affecting *you* is it? No, really, it's no trouble at all - hey, it's what I enjoy doing. Nothing better to do on a Saturday or Sunday morning than going through this week's notifications from systems that emit rando... Second Quantisation Re: Quantum::Superpositions by hugo at Fri Feb 7 02:34:42 2003 These are now called "junctions", and will be an integral part of perl6. I believe Damian has written a "Perl6::Junctions" module for boring old perl5 users. Hugo Egypt Piezo-electricity (thinking out loud) by Simon Banton at Mon Jan 27 13:11:56 2003 Just wanted somewhere to link the multiple tons of granite + mica + resonance concepts together. Suppose you built something that acted as a piezo-electric cell (ie squeeze it = charge generated). Assume you made it enormously large, out of quartz (or quartz-rich rock) + mica sheet (mica being a favorite insulator for capacitors). Is the kind of resonance achievable in stone chambers by 'intoning' human voices sufficient to vibrate the piezo-electric materials to the point o... Facts ipchains iptables 2.4 Linux Netfilter by Simon Banton at Fri Jan 24 21:18:53 2003 Many places say, when you want to enable ipchains instead of iptables on a 2.4.2 kernel: "In kernels 2.4.0 and later you should select this option instead: Networking options ---> [*] Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains) IP: Netfilter Configuration ---> ... what they don't say is that the IP: Netfilter Configuration option springs into existence halfway down the page when you enable the option "Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains... Myth and Legend Identity of the 'Bright Star of Evening' in the Skidi-Pawnee Creation Myth by Simon Banton at Mon Jan 13 22:45:58 2003 From Appendix 15 of Hamlet's Mill: A very strange and apparently stone-old story is told by the Skidi-Pawnee about the end and the beginning of the world. "Various portents will precede : the Moon will turn red and the Sun will die in the skies. The North Star is the power which is to preside at the end of all things, as the Bright Star of Evening was the ruler when life began. The Morning Star, the messenger of heaven, which revealed the mysteries of fate to the... Ancient Language Update - Amenhotep III's stela by mhillson at Thu Nov 7 17:25:15 2002 It seems the inscription of Amenhotep III is still extant as Merneptah put his inscription on the back of the stela, which had had a checkered history, being defaced by Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) then restored by Seti I. The original text was a semi-poetical inventory of A III's various building projects. Seems he was a bit of a builder. Anyway, it didn't mention foreign exploits or peoples of any variety, so a dead end on that front. <hr> These are my opinions and mine alon... Welcome, new users!

This idea is completely unworkable for any number of reasons. Can you think of any for yourselves? S.

OYVAX Admin Quantum Relativity Re: Higgs Boson found in Tim Berner's Lee backyard! by Treatid at Fri Oct 13 21:35:13 2000 It is potentially quite exciting for physics generally. A certain amount of caution is in order. The timing of the announcement (just before the existing collider is dismantled) is 'interesting'. It is possible the people involved are just a little more anxious than normal to find a positive result (this only requires misinterpretation of a result which is extremely easy to do - I'm not suggesting that anything more than the potential for over-eagerness). The other question is that... |
