    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    I don't think it's a matter of "hanging to the hope", rather it's a matter of not being a complete fucking moron and making a judgement in the absence of facts, of which there are few. (note: twitter tweets on secondhand information, unconfirmed for days, do not qualify as fact).   And yes, it's...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    1) Inflate each ball to a consistent 12.5 PSI. 2) Stick the needle into the valve of each ball, count to three mississippi (or whatever you've previously determined the right count is), and pull the needle out. 3) Remeasure pressure in each ball, and find that pressure is consistent amongst the...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    No, but thankfully in addition to physics, some supplementary common sense can be used. For example, common sense would dictate that the pressure of the ball be measured at the same temperature, both before and after the experiment to see if there was any air loss.  I guess though, at this...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      If your results agree with physics, I will make a mental note of your general competence as a human.  If your results disagree with physics, there will be no doubt about it, it is you that is wrong, not physics.  Just so you're clear, you have embarked on a measure of your own competence, not...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      I'm not even sure what your point is anymore, if you even had one in the first place.  You seem to live in some fantasy world where inflating a football is some formal process done by scientists in lab coats, with careful temperature calibrations being done.  That's not how it works. They get...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      No, it hasn't been suggested yet.  Somehow after 121 pages of stupidity, you've managed to come up with something new, but still equally stupid.  You might have even raised the bar here.

      For fucks sake, it's just a picture of some random pressure gauge.

    2, not 2.0.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Why are people taking "2", used in a twitter tweet relaying second hand information, to mean "2.000000000000000"?  I mean, I guess I see where the confusion is, 2 usually is 2, but that "2" in the tweet is just as likely to actually be a "1.6" or a "2.2".   When you get into some of those other...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Agreed.  It's way too difficult to tell whether the climate change deniers are being sarcastic or serious, they have no place using sarcasm.

    Scientist here, confirming that recent studies have shown that 4/5 people do calculations on this incorrectly.

    Computer build questions - uh oh

    Remove and reinstall the RAM to make sure it's seated properly (only put in 1 stick for now) Remove the video card and plug the monitor into the onboard video for now.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    One thing I didn't notice that makes it even more fucked up. TV+internet combo and you get a $100 gift card. So it's actually less expensive to get TV+internet for a year than just internet. Verizon shits all over this thread.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    Meanwhile, the cheapest Verizon FIOS internet offering is 15Mbps, now up to $70/month with a 2 year contract or $75/month without the contract. For only internet. Internet and phone with no contract? Also $75/month. Same price as just internet. Internet and TV (290 channels)? $80/month...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I've been bouncing back and forth between OTA/MythTV and cable for a few years now. I'm on cable now because I wanted to get RedZone. I went on last winter to get Bruins games. A few years before that, I was on a Celtics kick. So, the question is, how can I get Bruins/Celtics/Random NFL...
