Could anyone recommend me a detailed book on quantum theories in physics?

Things like Spectral emissions and absorptions, wave-particle duality etc.

I'd appreciate it very much.

It's not because they're fragile. It's because they are linear devices. They're amazing for achiving if you keep them in the right conditions but quite a few people who use them 'casually' don't know that.

Their biggest problem is, as mentioned, them being linear devices. This is great if you want to store rarely accessed information but if you want to access multiple files on it you have to wait ages for it to wind back and forth finding them.

Oh yea, it's been so long since we used em, I forgot about the waiting...

But we just threw out a pile of tapes that were unrecoverable because sometime between 1994 and now, the hvac went out. Optical media wasn't a whole lot better. At some point someone started buying cheap discs, and the 60-70 year lifespan of cdrs turned out to be more like 7-10 years. :/

We're a mid-size architecture firm, so what works for us might not work for you. We now utilize a selection of online services for collaboration & backup, depending on the type of the data, though each computer also saves delta backups locally to ext HD's (themselves backed up across the network at night) for general data and our windows VMs, simply via the built-in Time Machine software for quick recovery & version tracking.

If you're an individual, using Dropbox is probably the most bang for your buck. Try that & see.

Seriously. Optical discs can go suck a dick.

Myself, I've found that internal HDDs connected to a dock via eSATA have the best reliability/speed/price-per-GiB relation, as long as you only turn them on once in a while.

Up until the early 1900s it was the norm for girls to marry and start reproducing at about 15. Any woman older than 23 who hadn't found a husband was an 'old maid'. So yes, it's completely valid.

Did you... did you seriously use a joke version of a tabletop RPG trait chart as a determiner for anal capacity in real humans?

>>15074

>joke version

I regret to be the one to have to inform you, but that's no joke. That table is part of a real roleplaying system, and is quite likely to actually be referred to in a game of FATAL.

I made a couple mistakes:
1. The first output of answer() should be 2^32-2^8.
2.
>will likely output lists in different order each time it is run, even for the same output
Last word should be "input".

>>15079
>I understnad the theory, I just don't think it's going to work.
I can't say such inflexibility surprises me.

>No matter how complex the device, and how encompassing the program, there will always be limitations.
Humans have limitations, too. What does that imply?

power off, power on, the computer is made of bamboo and there's an electrical fire

the coin analogy is correct therefore

you wanted abstract, you can have abstract

Because programmers are still figuring out the possibilities and requirements of the new architecture.

I just read all the thread and I'm surprised : Inside the question, there are a lot of "parti-pris" (sorry, I'm french...)[position already decided will be a good approximation.]
"the Big Bang is an event. And any event is defined by a time, and location (4 dimensions, if you want me to be exact)"
What do you think about mass (and then gravitation...) ? about energy (this field is even more open...) ? about probability (does this event even existed...?) ?

for my eyes, trying to approaching the big band only with the ideas of location and time seems like trying to fly with a bicycle (you can jump but not fly !!!). It will be not really possible. You will approximate the idea but not be able to make the leap...
The thing is : there are ideas, constructs, abstractions created by the limited human who have naturally conscience only of space and time. Maybe this will be the enigma who will stay unsolved, the human brain doesn't have the capacity to understand this "abstraction/construction/event". This is a "godlike" thing for me ... poor human mind with human abstractions (wich be totally false, by the way !)

What do I think about them? Well, first of all, they're not events. The mass of the sun doesn't occur at any point in time, nor does its output energy.

This is just an excuse not to think.

If you'll excuse my use of (a modified) Pascal's Wager: We can either assume that a given cosmological object has fathomable or unfathomable properties. If we go with the latter option, we can't reason about the object, and whether right or wrong we're no closer to any truth; if we go with the former option and we're wrong, we're not worse off. If we're right, uncovering the mysteries of the universe is within our reach.

It is called bang because the universe came from an expanding high-energetic concentration of mass and energy. (By mass; I mean baryons. I dont know if they have any promising theories to explain if the extra baryons in the beginning was there in the first place or something breaks the baryon conservation in the early universe.) Explosion, is by definition, that. There was no conventional "explosion" as if something lit a fuse and it happened. Also; linearity of time is an illusion (you can also think the horizon problem); you need only consider the metric in appropriate ones, the t=0 disappears.

Without proof, though, its all conjecture. The only way to be sure is build a very good neutrino detector to gain more knowledge (neutrino decoupling was around t=10 sec i believe) of the early universe and try to do something with that.

Also; "creation" of coordinates at t=0 would imply the creation of information; which violates 2nd law of thermodynamics and since it is entropy that determines the direction of time flow, usual time progression ideas would not be valid anyway.

Is the 400kg including the passenger?

>>14435
The whole plane including the passenger and extra equipment should weight ~1000 kg

Forget storing the electrical energy, what you need is to generate thrust spontaneously and consistently. Magnets.

If you really wanted to use it for nothing but surfing you could get a budget microUSBdrive plug it into an avalible port and run linux off that. Set the HD for the temp files.

I've been doing this for over a year now with an old 1Gb stick I found in the bottom of my draw and yet to encounter problems.

>>15064
I have considered that. But I prefer to have as little stuff as possible. I stick to the rule one item-one use. (Ok, a coumputer can be pretty much exactly what you want it to be, but you get the idea.)

So has anyone managed to let a laptop use an internally mounted memorycard as a HDD?

also is there any laws ageist them

Oh look! It's cb9fa8 again!

Two things come to my mind. cb9fa8 either doesn't know that his questions are awkward and too numerous for 7chan's easy going culture, or cb9fa8 is some kind of student doing a social experiment where he asks these questions on purpose. Either way, I'm going to take a stab at this:

You claim that physics state that time is dynamic (despite there being theories which state otherwise, but let's ignore those for now), which means traveling back into the past and performing an action will have effects on all events afterward, like in Back to the Future or Terminator.

Next, you say "initial conditions as a parameter". This, to the lay man, means "the variables at the beginning as a determining effect". This makes little sense logically, so let's change it to "the way in which the variables at the beginning had a determining effect".

After that, you state "non-biological dimensions". This, as far as I know, refers to anything inorganic in general. They are the dimensions- the aspects- which are not biological. And since you don't specify a certain set of non-biological dimensions, you are actually referring to every single non-biological aspect in the universe.

So, what you're asking in lay man's terms, is:
"Since events in time can be changed by time travel, in what way can we say how the events at the beginning had some shaping effect in everything which isn't alive?" Another way to phrase it is "Since time travel changes things, how can we say that the big bang created everything?"

Kind of a non sequitur, but the answer to your question ought to be: Science.

We're not located everywhere, so here is a map.
If you know someone in these areas though we can still give you the referral money.

That's nice, OP. But how do I know I can trust you? Please post your full Name and Social Security Number so I can run a background check on you before I start giving you other peoples personal information.

Thank you.

>>15052
lol, good point.

All I need is your name (nickname is fine), phone, and address.
No social security or any of that.
