Speed Of Light Broken With Off Shelf Components
jukal writes "An interesting article at NewScientist.com: " Now physicists at Middle Tennessee State University have broken that speed limit over distances of nearly 120 metres, using off-the-shelf equipment costing just $500.", " it may be possible to use this reflection technique to boost electrical signal speeds in computers and telecommunications grids by more than 50 per cent. Electrons usually travel at about two-thirds of light speed in wires, slowed down as they bump into atoms. Hache says it may be possible to send usable electrical signals to near light speed. ""
Wasn't there just an article on frauds in physics?

A good explanation of how this works is here:

Aren't they inviting a lawsuit from God by publishing this? The restrictions regarding the speed of light are there to protect God's IP. By sharing the knowledge of how to get around these restrictions allows anyone to create their own Universes, which clearly violates patent #000000000.

What is Slashdot going to do next? Post an article titled "WIN FREE SEX"?

If you've been burned, betrayed, and back-stabbed by multi-level marketing, MLM, then please read this letter. It could be the most important one that has ever landed in your Inbox.
MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING IS A HUGE MISTAKE FOR MOST PEOPLE
MLM has failed to deliver on its promises for the past 50 years. The pursuit of the "MLM Dream" has cost hundreds of thousands of people their friends, their fortunes and their sacred honor. The fact is that MLM is fatally flawed, meaning that it CANNOT work for most people.
The companies and the few who earn the big money in MLM are NOT going to tell you the real story. FINALLY, there is someone who has the courage to cut through the hype and lies and tell the TRUTH about MLM.
HERE'S GOOD NEWS
There IS an alternative to MLM that WORKS, and works BIG! If you haven't yet abandoned your dreams, then you need to see this. Earning the kind of income you've dreamed about is easier than
you think!
With your permission, I'd like to send you a brief letter that will tell you WHY MLM doesn't work for most people and will then introduce you to something so new and refreshing that you'll
wonder why you haven't heard of this before.
I promise that there will be NO unwanted follow up, NO sales pitch, no one will call you, and your email address will only be used to send you the information. Period.
To receive this free, life-changing information, simply email me
at: be_f111@poetic.com or be_f111@dr.com, type "Send Info" in the Subject box and Send. Do not reply to this email. Make sure you type "Send Info" on the subject box otherwise I will not be able to send you the information. I'll get the information to you within 24 hours. Just look for the words MLM WALL OF SHAME in your Inbox.
Cordially,
Elaine
P.S. Someone recently sent the letter to me and it has been the most eye-opening, financially beneficial information I have ever received. I honestly believe that you will feel the same way once you've read it. And it's FREE!
Of course, given recent history, the latest scam involving Florida is buying not swampland but elections. And it only costs you five justice's robes...
Oh, come on, that's so old news. It's not even the most recent Florida election count mishap.

Hell, I am on Mac OS X at the moment.
All the glory of UNIX, right? Well, UNIX without X. UNIX without a path listing in the file browser. UNIX without a standard c++ compiler. UNIX without, well UNIX.
Then again, it is UNIX with commercial software. A mixed blessing, but not so bad.
Back in my day, UNIX(Linux) was pure. I had no commercial software, aside from netscape. Back in my day, we(I) had my wyse dumb terminal and didn't care that the rest of the world(literally) had their cga and vga and svga monitors and their fancy mice.
I may only be 16, but I've used everything from the Timex Sinclair to the Altair to the VAX to, my favorite, unix. I run Linux and Mac OS X exclusively. This is my day, and unix is still going strong.
