  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) Isn't the theory behind rainbows (or light spectrums in general) that the different wavelengths refact by differing amounts, and so white light is "spread" into a spectrum of colours? If that's the case then radar and laser energy would (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) I've posted a few times this year, but mostly I've been lurking. And trying to build something that truly satisfies me. I keep buying more parts and experimenting... patience now... (...) Welcome home. Is the dissertation in the can? (...) (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Looking to buy a gaming rig - any thoughts?
 
Well, after years of building my own machines I'm finally going to buy a pre-assembled computer. I've found myself doing more and more work from home and more and more work-related stuff with Win2k and Linux and not enough goofing off, so I'm (...)

  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) More accurate at measuring *speed*. We were talking about distance. Careful reading of both articles reveals no claimed difference in accuracy for distance measurement, since it's the same technique being used. (the speed difference is because (...)

  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) Not quite. There's a good comparison here (URL) talking about speed radar versus laser. Basically the laser is more accurate, but requires more accurate aiming by the operator. ROSCO (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) Would there be any difference in the accuracy of laser vs. radar? I'm not enough of an EE geek to know, but thought "no" because they're just different wavelengths of the same thing, right? Or does the wavelength difference (it IS many orders (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Hip Deep in Evil
 
(...) <rant> Oh, I'm sure it is...I would REALLY like to...but for some reason, even with the newest RealPlayer freshly installed on the system, no go. Of course, I've NEVER, not even ONCE, EVER gotten Real media to work on any computer system. I (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
