[quote who="jackswift85" reply="20" id="3203299"]Don't forget about the other poor rocks that were planets but were reclassified in the 19th century: Ceres, Pallas, Vesta and Juno![/quote] To be fair, they were all discovered in the early 1800s before the concept of an "asteroid" had come about. In the 1850s when a lot of these "planets" were being discovered, astronomers realized that classifying them as such was wrong and they were subsequently known as asteroids.

[quote who="Uvah" reply="17" id="3202937"]That too may change. Recently another moon was discovered orbiting Pluto. That brings the total to five......Pluto has five moons dancing around with it in the deep dark. Astronomers are thinking reclassifying Pluto as a non-planet was a bit premature simply because only 'planets' are supposed to have moons. Most likely Pluto will be reclassified as a dwarf planet. Why they even changed it is beyond me. Dum dums![/quote] Pluto already

Reply to Who is running 64-bit Windows right now? in Personal Computing Sins Forums

Yes Yes Maybe: Like pacov said, I'd look into the game more than I would if it wasn't 64-bit, but it has to be a game that I'm interested in for me to actually want to buy it. I'm not going to buy a game just because it's 64-bit. But if there are two similar games, one 64-bit and one not, I'd be more inclined to go with the 64-bit one (other things being equal).

[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="55" id="2978859"] Quoting kyogre12, reply 54 Quantum mechanics shows that there is an underlying randomness to the universe and that on small scales causality does not hold. Well, there is a fine line with causality. Entropy is the driving force behind it. Unfortunately, entropy is a statistical theory and so if you only have a handful of particles, it doesnt work; so it's no suprise that causality doesnt hold.<br

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="53" id="2978814"]Yeah, it seems that scientists tend to hold on to the following with a death grip: conservation of mass/energy, conservation of momentum, and causality.

Reply to Recommend a gaming laptop in PC Gaming Sins Forums

My old HP laptop is in the midst of a long, slow death, so I've been looking around for a good replacement. So far, one of the best looking ones I've managed to find is the ASUS G74 . The base version starts at $1800. As far as I can tell, most comparable laptops are at least $100 more expensive. The downside is that it's huge, even for a 17" laptop, and it apparently doesn't fit in most bags... but you get a free backpack a
