Very old computer working?

First.. I must pay homage to the tireless ones who keep this tread going...
(bows, kisses hand or ring, depending)

To the question... No, a sound is not made since sound is just vibrations against your ear drum which are then turned into electrical impulses of various frequencies that travel to your brain and then translated by the (I forgot which lobe of the brain controls sound)anyway, this is then crossreferenced with your memory synapsis to tell what type of sound you felt (yes, felt, remember sound is only vibrations).

With that said... Do the other trees react to the vibrations... :?:

sound does not require human sensation to exist, if we use the definition that sound is a perturbation of air in waves of variable density. what if the sound was heard and startled a rabbit? (I know, go ask the rabbit if he heard it.)

But, go in a dark room at night and turn on the light... watch the dark leak out!

 

[dasickninja]

What if there is no rabbit?

 

[dasickninja]

Seriously though, Its you guys who scare away the girls! Sheesh. WHat happend to science being the cool thing to do ?

We are not scaring anyone! Now, when our organization has been established we can continue science.

I must think of a new signature... Help is appreciated!!!

Edited for grammar mistake.

WE gotta get back to science now.
Any suggustions on what to replca the space shuttle with?

 

[uber_g]

What up way

-im mexican 😀

and italian, and white

im a phucking Mutt

 

[dasickninja]

I'm black,
hispanic,
Carrib indian,
Brazilain,
Indian,
Japanese,
English,
and French.
I'm more of a mutt so there. :mrgreen:

 

[randomizer]

43 pages... I still find it hard to believe that this thread is still going, and how far away from the original point it is (which is a good thing )

 

[SanderElite]

wow, i dont have time to read all the posts, but, wow, how did it get to 43 pages??


Anyway... All I have to say is, I have calculators faster than the OP's computer.

 

[dasickninja]

We have abacuses faster than what the OP has. I've used pencils with more processing power than that excuse for a paperweight.
@randomizer
We've stop viewing this in terms of how far its strayed from the orginal thread's point, but how close we are to insanity.

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

Here is one some gaming buddy argued with me:



Does electricty travel at the speed of light?

 

[OldGoat]

That depends, the formula for the drift speed (flowing charge) of the electrons is:

I=nAvQ

where

I is the electric current
n is number of charged particles per unit volume
A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor
v is the drift velocity, and
Q is the charge on each particle

The best example is the CRT where the particles are traveling at 1/10 the speed of light.
However the signal or electromagnetic waves travel at light speed based on Maxwell's Equations
I'll research the links, I pulled this out of my Military Electronics books.

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

Nice reply, thats more then I would have expected.

 

[dasickninja]

I commanded that we get back to science and so we shall.
We all know that matter exists in the three basics states that is to say, solids, liquids and gases. That being said though in what catagory do we classify fire into?
Or is it that fire and other high energy types of matter, such as the electricity discussed above fall into the realm of plasma?

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

4 types. solid liquid gas and plasma.


Fire is not what you think. What you see (red flames) is the air that has been heated to a point where it gives off light. Since the light is red (aka most fire), its still a warm fire, and not a hot heat, as compaired to a blue fire. So you are just looking at air when you see fire. Nothing special.

 

[dasickninja]

So fire is just the light given off fromthe process of superheating gases.
Kind of like the ligh given off by the Sun.

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

No, not quite like how light is given off by the sun.


Think of it as this. If you have a range stove, and turn it up to high, it glows red because the iron is hot. If you could turn it up to a higher temperature, it would heat the air around it making it glow red too. (since heat rises, the hot red air would rise, like a flame. But that wouldnt happen on a stove unless something was burning, like a slice of bread lol.

 

[OldGoat]

I though fire was the burning gases released from the material being burned.

Sorry, I got distracted by something else (cute blonde in the office)
i just realised that comment made no sense.. (I polity bow out)

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

The object being burned has enough energy to keep the process going, kind of like a chain reaction (aka buring fuel). The gasses being release (in most cases, such as wood) is really just plain old air, mixed with some of the object, like carbon (in wood) which is why you dont want to breathe it in.

Thanks for the clearification. What keeps the thermonuclear reaction that happens in the sun from, say expanding to epic levels (the entire solar system). Is it simply just the force of gravity.

i just opened a case from the trash last night and low and behold...a p-90 socket 5 inside..a cd drive...sound and video onboard and a 540 hd and a 3com network card

i beleive i will overclock it to 120 and sell it...i may need to add a fan to the heatsink

 

[vikris]

I have a p-100 and it has a fan. Any cpu has a fan, it depends of the angle you're viewing!

 

[Alyarbank]

You should offer to sell it to the OP so he can make an OverClocked Cluster Array.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Although it may in fact be his :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[vikris]

Why there are ads after the first post ina new page? :?
