Why does IE suck so much now? It constantly sucks my cpu down so much so that the mouse stalls out. This happens when loading pages, or even just sitting there. I think the idle stalls are caused by Messenger running in the background. But it's (...) (22 years ago, 30-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Hi I thought this group might be a good place to ask this question. I'm interested in building a Lorenzian waterwheel and plotting the phase space. I've done some research into this on the net, but the most technical description I've found so far (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

hi! Some time ago I built myself a little tool to calculate one's weight on other planets. The formula I use might simplify the problem a little but the output usually comes close enough to what I find in books for me. The input I use is the size (...)

I think that the point is that if Endor has a very low density but the same gravity at the surface as Earth, then the mass and diameter are both much greater than Earth, because gravity goes by the distance between the center of mass of the (...)

(...) Sure. The voltage would have to match (which it does) so no worries there. the current ought to be less to not cause any problems. The old fan is 120mA (there's 1000 milliamps (mA) in an amp), so the new one draws half as much power. It may (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
