How do I post in here?

Four.

Physics Problem

Right, so I was thinking.
If, black holes have infinite mass then then how come they
don't have infinite gravitational pull because of infinite gravitational force?
Shouldn't our universe be sucked in totally then by a black hole?
Hmm, I'm confused.
Please someone explain.

wrong, black holes do NOT, i repeat NOT have infinite mass; they have a very real, very finite mass.

Black holes 'do' have an infinitesimal size, and thus infinite density.

They don't, they're just dense. Instead of thinking so much you could've like checked Wikipedia or something.

Let's stop talking down to each other now, shall we? I'm looking at you here, Gust :P

Fair enough thanks for this.
I learnt something here.

I'm not, I only invariably always sound like I am. :p

As I usually find everything on my own I like telling people to be more independent whenever they ask obvious advice of any kind. Should I give up on hoping they'd stop wasting their and everyone's time like that? (Well, I know, probably, but I won't unless I'm told to.)

S, wait a sec.
I thought mass depended on density.
So if something has infinite density how does it not have infinite mass?

Mass = Density * volume.

The volume is infinitesimal. The mass can be anything.

Density = Mass / Volume

Agh, I'm stupid. Ignore me for not thinking that correction through.

I'm just too used to seeing it the other way. :/

Summer Holidays

Me and my friends were planning to have this epic road trip in the US next summer and this week we've finally booked our tickets to New York and back again from San Francisco and we've rented a Chevrolet Uplander for 4 weeks to cruise us around the country. This is going to be the best holiday ever :D Now, we've already listed a couple of sights to see obviously but if any of the people who actually live or have been to the US have a couple of must-sees I'd love to know those. We haven't really set down a definite route so far, with 4 weeks to drive around we figured we have enough time to take a few detours.

Also, how would I go bout making this game fun to play (mouse to aim and shoot, space to reload, enter for powerups)?

Anything finite and within reason, so as to avoid the problem that started this whole mess :/

Actually, it's been disapproved as bullshit. It doesn't matter what colour pixels are displayed, uses the same amount of energy.

Agreed, back light? Google still is win, sorry Blackle.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone came up with a monitor at some point which just shut off black regions. 'Till then, though...

I thought there were some around that did that already :/
Maybe I just read it somewhere, or completely imagined it.

I've seen things that lower the power of the back light if there's a lot of darkness on the screen and puts it higher up when theres a lot of lighter stuff, but it looks really bad when its half and half.

How about you guys start making board games and flipbooks to save some electricity.

I still play board games, and make my own rules :P

Risk board + monopoly and starwars monopoly = win.

woah

It's probably worse, what with packaging and postage and all :/

What if...

April's pregnancy and subsequent baby birth were all an elaborate April Fools joke. There are no pictures of the pregnant mother and her name IS April. Plus, the timing of the birth is mighty convenient...

Think about it.

Hmm, You prove a good point. Just to be safe we should get our letter bombs ready now. :D

Some Game Ideas..
So I need some ideas. I have this small game (use arrow keys to move, jump on bombs to jump, go through hoops). However, the feels rather empty right now and I have no idea what to do with it.. halp D:

Board games
Paper is much more expensive. Multiply 300g per set with millions of users, how many trees is that? Plus fuel for transportation.
Tree huggers should promote electronics. :p

Black
Black sites are awesome. There should be more. Blackle is stupid, but I'd prefer it.

I think some phone screens only require energy to change pixels. At least, if you punched out one of those old Siemens phones, the image remained.

What a RIDICULOUS CONCEPT.

It'd NEVER WORK.

I hate games like that; so much that I would play them for hours.

I hear Tom isn't even married.
