If the detected Neutrino's actually do have PeV energies, doesn't that essentially give them Mass? And if so, Dark Matter Candidate # 1

Hi Michael, Thanks for listening. For some time now, I have had an idea floating around in my head for the proverbial "Great Sci-fi Story" and while I'd be the first to say that I don't have a snowball's chance on Mercury to ever have it published, it has occurred to me that it MAY make a reasonably decent treatment for either a comic or a TV series. MAY is the operative word here.. Now, assuming that I actually have something to offer the hard bleak world that is waiting for me, where do I start?? There are horror stories about folks submitting concepts that get stolen etc, but I'm sure that there are some valid and honorable ways to have your ideas at least glanced at by someone that knows what they are doing. I'm quite willing to sink or swim and have no delusions of grandeur, so rejection would not bother me, it would motivate me to improve my craft. But with no idea who to approach or how, it is inevitable that I will always remain a frustrated wordsmith. To be clear, I'm not looking for you to help me directly, just asking if you can cover the basics of getting started. You obviously started somewhere, can you tell us how it works? Cheers.

That is my biggest problem with this issue. Not that the dolts that were responsible screwed up, but that it took MONTHS of internal "investigations" before some bright spark decided that it was time to share the facts with the people most affected. Typical Ontario Liberal nanny state policies.. Bad Dalton. Down boy, stop humping granny's leg!

"There will of course always be some people that want control over their hardware. Some people." My point exactly. To the rest of your reply: So You advocate completely abdicating control over your device because "most people" are too lazy or stoopid to maintain a simple PC? This POV is what got us into this mess in the first place. Like I said, we get what we deserve.

II actually love it, there's something Zen-like about the way the metal flows into the joints in a well heated part, and the wick effect on stranded wires is mesmerizing.
I could happily do it all day. Now I ride a desk :(
I built and repaired Coin Operated Video Games and Pinball Machines for 10 years, so Brother, if you ever need someone to solder something, I'm your guy. Try building wiring harnesses with 2-300 wires on edge connectors, you get good at it. Not to mention good at following confusing looking schematics.

It's starting to become inevitable. Apple is the main culprit. We migrated away from Desktop's and Laptop PC's to "smart" phones and tablets that are all user limited for the sake of being cool. Now the very real threat that the PC revolution of the 70's and 80's will be overthrown by corporate inertia. They and Apple in particular, hate the idea that you may have control over your own hardware and/or software and are doing everything they can to curtail your choices. Don't blame MS, blame yourselves.

Try the Tom Swift series, have no idea if they are still available, but it was like the Hardy Boys in space. Another good book, highly overlooked for years, but was taught in English Class back in the day, The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, same guy that wrote Day of the Triffids and Midwich Cuckoos. Great book, light on the sci- heavy on the -fi, but totally original and refreshing. No idea why that one never made it to the big screen.

I use Opera and the Ghostery extension along with WOT. Then I run CCleaner a few times a day. I ALWAYS log out of any site once I'm done with what I logged in to do, and that goes double for Google. Then run CCleaner. I take a small hit with some occasional unpredictable behavior on some sites with Ghostery running, but screw 'em. If they want my junk, I can find (95% of the time) what i want elsewhere. Strategy seems to work pretty well, low spam incidence in gmail and my "real" email addresses are rarely spammed as well. Recently checked Google's data on me through the privacy page and all clear.
