Hmmm, I'm using OE 5.02 for Mac, and my post shows up as a new thread. Maybe the PC version puts it into the old thread if it has the same name? I suppose I will have to consider this next time I post a MOC. Perhaps I could put a date in the subject (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  broadband finally comes to my part of Knoxville
 
Took it long enough, but as of day before yesterday I actually have ADSL. Getting pretty good speeds, probably because I'm a little more than a stone's throw from the phone company's remote DSLAM.

  Re: Hot Paper?
 
(...) So all we need to do to solve this is build and launch a satellite made out of paper. Think of how little fuel we'd need! Dave! (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Now we're getting somewhere! But what would happen to the paper once it got that hot? That's what I was trying to get at in the first place... Dave! (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Well being in a vacuum I know it won't burn. My guess is that nothing will happen but I could be wrong. Eric K. (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Hot Paper?
 
(...) Just venturing a guess, I would say it depends on how long it was in the vacuum before you heated it. If you heated it quickly, it might char a bit (using oxygen trapped within the paper interstices) but I would expect that in most cases it (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Hot Paper?
 
Thanks to Ray Bradbury, we all know the combustion point of (at least some kinds of) paper. What would happen if you had a sheet of paper in a vacuum and heated it to 500 degrees F? Dave! (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
