Comment My first computers (Score 1) 523

My very first was a vic-20 (around 1982)
Followed by a trs-80 (coco2) from Radio-Shack.
Then a Tandy 1000 ex (8086 cpu I think), my very first pc with 256k later upgraded to 640k ram to play King Quest IV on 9 floppy disks. It had a 300 bauds modem and it is my introduction to the first BBS using TELIX program, which introduce me to the possibility to exchange with people all around the world with bulletin board messages (with one day delay, FIDONET if I well remember).

Comment Janus cosmological Model (Score 1) 104

Hi everyone

For many years now, Jean-Pierre Petit, a French scientist retired from CNRS France work on a model named 'Janus cosmological model'.

Most of his work is in french, but you have an english resume of his model in english in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

But then check all his 29 videos (and more) with english subtitles on Janus cosmological model starting with historical fact about evolution of science up to his consideration of a new (and more precise) evaluation of schwarzschild equation, which re-write most of science written from it. He give precise consideration on what 'is' a black hole and what is the great repeller, which actually does not have a very good explanation.

https://januscosmologicalmodel... (English website).

Please take a consideration of this scientist which is the answer, in my opinion, to the black matter hack to the science, and a wrong consideration of what is a black hole. His model also make prediction about what to expect to see in the future, which would be a very good point to validate this model.

Intelligent and willingfull people will of course continue to work. The problem is, will there be a Steve Jobs in one of these? I doubt it. You won't do the extra mile to potentially change the world if you don't see the possible capitalist income that it could generate. There are still some exception, but reward for extra work is not a socialist idea per se.

Comment The negative mass "in-between" galaxies (Score 2) 191

It is the Janus model, it can explain this. If you have negative mass in between the "visible" galaxies, "invisible" galaxies in negative mass do "synchronize" by their repulsion the positive mass (that we live in and can see). Jean-Pierre Petit work on this theory for many years now.

I agree with you that you cannot recreate the real stress of a cross wind landing with important people on board with a simulator, and nav is probably the best thing you can learn with simulator (I had one hours of flight sim booked on a simulator). This being said, having done 10 hours of training and land / takeoff around 30 times (for personal reason I could not finish my license), my instructor was impressed on my first landing the way I had the proper angle and speed at base and final. I think if you 'play' hundred or thousand hours on a good simulator, you get a pretty good feeling of the limits of the plane, when it is the proper time to turn, adjust throttle, feel the concept of aerodynamics in regards to the stall, and get good instincts to what to do to achieve a new position.

I think I want to re-install flight simulator!!!

QWERTY and AZERTY have been created to minimize the possible jam of dactylo, around 1872, not to be fast but to prevent jamming. If letters were presented in alphabetical order, we would have "ST" for example offen used and would create dactily jam. Now that dactylo era is over, some alternatives exists like "Dvorak Bépo".

Hi girintraining

I did drink some scotch, but I hope moderators will raise you, since what you just said is absolutly right. I mean, everything have a causality, and if this lead to not put in prison people that does did offence to what we consider ok, everything will find a causality to people behavior and this will lead total collapse. We cannot accept "as superior knowledge people" the behaviour of inferior one because they did have a physical excuse or pre-adult bad learning experience.

I'll change subject a little bit, but since we are overpopulated, why not sent to forced labor for life everything that is now > 2 years in prison offence, and never include excuses for lower sentences?
