Submission + - Could a 'Death Star' really destroy a planet? (physorg.com)

aquabats writes: "Mirroring many late night caffeine-fueled arguments among Sci-Fi fans, a University of Leicester researcher asks the question:
Could a small moon-sized battle station generate enough energy to destroy an Earth-sized planet?
A paper by David Boulderston (University of Leicester) sets out to answer that very question."

Comment Classical (Score 1) 188

From your start back in 1982 and prior, countless bands and styles have come and gone or progressed. Obviously few ,if any, will be considered classical by surpassing generations not alive during the period. Can you name a few you think will continue to withstand the test of time? What do you think makes a band/album/song continue to stay relevant?

Thats a mainstream view of religion. No where in the Torah or the Bible does it talk about "burning in H". Yes it says lake of fire. Interpret that how you will but dont rely on the medieval catholic church "come to church or burn forever " money scheme crap. Its pretty clear in the Jewish faith, the better you are the closer you are to God in the after life. Hence the more evil the further. Doesnt this apply directly to the parent to child relationship? Good Children usually have a stronger and better relationship to their parents then bad kids.

I agree. The basics just aren't there. Its like a beautiful land-rover....without shocks or proper tires. Digging through some boards i can safety say 50% of people dropping kubuntu and ksuse because they cant connect to a wireless network. The desktop is incredibly overwhelming to someone switching from gnome, xfce, windows, or mac. I think its always gorgeous but it just doesn't work intuitively.
