The closest black hole is only 1500 light years away from us. RUN !!1!! ! .... where ?

quote:

An object many astronomers believe is a black hole has been found only 1500 light-years from Earth, making it the closest black hole candidate. Although dramatic explosions emanate from the object, it is far enough away so that we are in no danger. Pictured above, V4641 was imaged just after emitting an outburst in the radio band. Jets, which lasted only minutes, are visible. V4641 is the fourth known microquasar, a miniature version of the massive, matter spewing black holes thought to exist in the centers of galaxies. The explosions are not thought to emanate from within the black hole, a location where neither matter nor information can escape, but from around the black hole, where matter from its companion star may be heating up as it falls in. Astronomers are working to understand why V4641 acts strangely even for a black hole, as the explosions it creates fade within minutes, and appear at different times in different bands of light.

If you stare at the image, you can almost feel it moving

1500 light years >? I'd say we are pretty safe in this life time. Unless astronomers bust a pothead move and there calculations are all messed up.

but you don't know the condition of the black hole in current time. What we see now is what happened on that star 1500 years ago. What if the black hole started expanding and sucking matter 1475 years ago ? In 25 years we will start seeing the effects.

Its one of those rare films that combine scifi with the Supernatural. It definitely got creepy when the portal that opens, Was a gateway straight to Hell.

This scenario is not to pleasant. All tho 25 years does sound better than what the Mayan calender that is set to end 2012. Thats what 5 years left.

Saw it a loooong time ago. I just remember the end where a dude was flying back towards the ship going "I'm coming back for you motherfuckas!" and someone shot him with a rocket launcher or some shit. And then at the end when "Funky Shit" started to play during the credits

this was an awesome movie....really scared the shit outta me when i saw it. awesome concept too, combining sci-fi with horror

If you're being sucked in by your feet, your legs would be ripped off your upper torso

My most favorite horror movie! Like "Shining" in space.

I agree with Sam - proly one of the scariest movies I've seen.

And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Originally posted by Omega_M Is it possible for the ISPs to block torrent softwares ? I've noticed I never can get a connection from my home. There are too many seeds, but I don't connect to any. I suspect the ISP somehow blocks this shit ? Not sure.

from what I've read, they already block traffic through earlier fixed torrent software ports (i believe Azurues used 6881?)
Then later torrent software used random ports anytime the software was loaded up (although its mostly useless if you don't have a fixed port since the router can limit traffic through certain ports)
Best way is just to find a random unused port (google: list of ports), go to your router configuration, open that port specifically for your torrents. If it doesn't work anymore, just repeat with another port. Encryption will assist in case your ISP wants to find out what exactly is passing through that needs to have 10 gigs down and 3 gigs up every single day through one port. (FBI also recently gained access to monitor the internet traffic of any ISP's member as of, a month ago I believe. RIAA/MPAA are currently trying to sneak in as well)
They might call you, but that's never happened to me before.

Event Horizon is a classic. very few cheap scares (did it even have any?). an element of uncertainty+complexity, gore used very well, and that Jurassic Park guy (Sam Weimz or something?) It's a winner.
