    The last time we found signs of aliens we discovered a new type of star, i believe. This is just going to be a new type of debris field.

    Or it's going to be dust on the lens. Wouldn't be the first time we got an almost stupidly mundane explanation. The last "alien signal" was people reheating coffee in a microwave, the last physics-bending experiment had a faulty cable connection.

    They've tested the equipment. So unless they missed something whatever the reason for the readings is, it's astrophysical.

    I mean yes, odds are it's something very boring but frankly we need more observations before ruling anything out.

    I had a feeling it was a PA faction, but I thought the red star one was just a normal red star?

    Looks like that sun is surrounded by Halo rings, not what the whole Dyson sphere is associated with. (Solar panels of some sort) :p

    the dyson sphere in the theory is either under construction or intentionally leaves light going out.

    how else would we have detected this sun's irregularities?

    if the dyson sphere was full that sun would emit no light and wouldn't show up at all in space.

    the image is representative.

    I meant because it has water and land on it instead of panels to collect the suns rays. :p

    you mean THIS type of water and land
    [​IMG]
    ?

    solar cells get some pretty crazy hues ranging through green, blue and purple the above illustration is still roughly representing solar cells. not land and water. (what kind of forest doesn't combust, what kind of ocean doesn't evaporate with this kind of crazy close proximity with a star? it certainly wouldn't be green and blue in that case)

    Nintendo and the 3DS modding community are having an arms race.

    Apparently nintendo planted a fix to several entrypoints several system versions ago, but didn't activate them till a major update to the latest payloads... stopping a number of people who hadn't installed other entrypoints without a way to access the homebrew.

    I'm kind of impressed. The way this was handled was devious, and it shows a pretty solid understanding of how the scene works and who people follow.

    I wish there was an article on it. This is turning out to be an interesting story and I'm not sure I can explain it all well.


    Oh, and the 3DS is now capable of loading romhacks on all firmware if you weren't one of the unfortunate users lost in the great Browserhax nuking of 10/26/2015. Finally get access to Star Sapphire and Neo X.
