(...) That's the prevailing theory. Another is that they really are a toilet flush, with all of the sucked in matter getting spat out somewhere else through a spatial wormhole of some sort. Carl Sagan tossed that out as a possibility in Contact (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Black Holes
 
A Black Hole is supposed to be a collapsed neutron (type?) star, right? So then, why is a Black Hole always depicted as an infinite toilet-flush? I can understand that the "matter disc" forms into a disc because of gravity, like the rings of a (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)

  Create an installer for the Dutch MLCad DLL file
 
Hi all, Does anyone know a good but easy to use program to create an installer? What I am looking for is an installer that first searches the users computer for the MLCad executable and then puts the DLL file in that directory. I need this since one (...)

  Re: Matrix Weapon Tech
 
(...) Hi, I have not read the entire thread carefully, but I believe nobody has yet talked about the (PS2)game "Enter The Matrix" ?! When I came to the last level WARNING!!! SPOILER!!!

(...) My impression from the first movie is that after a human is no longer useful for energy production, they are pureed and fed to other humans thru IVs. You still have a net loss of chemical energy each generation though, since some carbon, (...) (21 years ago, 7-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: announcing TrackDraw (BrickFest preview)
 
(...) Cool, new code! I'll have to go easy on the Microsoft bashing for a little while. By the way, what is .Net anyhow? I thought it was the latest name for SOAP (perhaps that explains the XML). And hey, since TrackDraw seems to import and export (...) (21 years ago, 7-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Matrix Weapon Tech
