    Immediately I saw the site and was about to submit it to CSSBeauty and CSSVault... but then, I check the source, and... bulky Javascript to deal with hovereffects, and a messy table layout. No good!

  6. Stephen Hawkings Kills the Idea of Warp Speed by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When Stephen Hawkings clung stubbornly to the idea that black holes eventually collapse into nothing, he raised the prospect that traveling into a black hole will teleport you suddenly into another corner of the universe. However, he later renounced his previous belief. In a stunning admission of error, last week, he publically conceded that black holes eventually implode, releasing all the matter that it has vacuumed. So, Hawkings basically destroyed the idea of travel at Warp speed.

    Sorry. We are doomed to live and die in this galaxy.

      A) We know this

      B) Why did you bring it up? It has little to do with the topic

      C) Its not unfeasable that we'd exit this galaxy. In fact there is another galaxy colliding with ours as we speak. (on the other side of it)

      D) Thanks to special relativity, we can get to just about anywhere in a few years with constant acceleration, Earth will age much more quickly though.
