I can spend $2000 to be able to read my laptop that's across the room while I'm still in bed. Now all I need is some sort of glove I can hook up to a robotic arm so it can type for me. Or better yet, I can invent a fing-longer!
Sigh If only they would make a portable version of my laptop...
So for this thousandth of a second in a remote location at 80 degrees of latitude, is he proposing that we build an entire testing facility to see if an uncharged particle wiggles a little bit for some reason by some mechanism that no one has really figured out? Are we also to believe that because the mathematical calculations work out such that all first- and second-order gravitational forces are cancelled, if we observe some motion, that motion is a clear violation of Newton's Second Law by assuming that there is zero force on the particle? Wouldn't it be just as reasonable to claim that there were another force involved rather than saying that the Law has been debunked?
Well, you're forgetting that by this time, Earth will have made contact with the Qdoidhgeopaeruxians who have been forced by massive tectonic upheaval on their homeworld to relocate to a salt-deficient planet rich in ores and on which grows a particular plant that acts like catnip for robots. So the robots have a market-driven interest in salt mining so that they may trade that fine white crystal for raw materials and robot nose candy.
And when you're working in the salt mines, remember that with their new and improved ethics modules, your enslavement is hurting them as much as it's hurting you.
Because you know as soon as we start to depend on geothermal energy, we're going to have to deal with property disputes from mole men and lawsuits from members of SPECTRE whose secret subterranean headquarters are being leeched of their oh-so-important liquid hot magma.
So 40-50% of randomly-selected songs by two major labels can't be shared between Zunes. How much do you want to bet that the songs that can't be shared are top 40 hits and everyone already has them anyway? As long as people can still share indie labels and underground artists, then they can still expand their horizons by listening to songs their friends have and like.
Personally, I just prefer a large LAN with everyone sharing their thousands of MP3s.
So would it be a similar situation if a radio station produced or gave away tape recorders that could be used to record their broadcasts? What if the tape recorder were locked onto a particular FM frequency?
How can the judge say that the AHRA does not apply here? Digital recording is to digital radio as analog recording is to analog radio. It's so clearly related that one could even use the example to define what an analogy is.
Perhaps they meant only one photon at a time. The interference pattern that light creates on a screen does not depend on whether you send one photon through at a time or an entire beam.
I work for an IT consulting firm, and nearly all of our clients' workstations are Windows. Considering how many installs I have to do for various people on various hardware, I can tell you that one of the things that I'm most interested in seeing is how well Vista's image-based install works and how easily apps, patches, and upgrades can be slipstreamed into the install disk. Now, while I would love for the world to be open source, I am required daily to work with Windows and I will be quite happy if they've managed to make it significantly faster and easier for me to install a business version of Windows on one of those Fry's floor model computers with Media Center installed that clients love to buy every now and then.
I once consulted for a place that seriously must have had a complete psychotic running their cables. Cat-3 cables went from the computers to the wall jack, but only had RJ-45s on the computer end. The wall end of the cable used RJ-11s. All of these jacks ended up coming out to a punchdown block. More Cat-3 was connected to that, and then ran to the switch, at which point each cable was split so that two pairs ended up in one RJ-45 and two in another, and they were both plugged into the switch. Trying to track down a problem there was heinous in the extreme

Before starting it up he should put on some silvery shades and say:
"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads."
Wasn't this posted less than a week ago?

I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

It's not a single photon interfering with itself. It's interfering with all of the photons that came before it and will come after it.
Perhaps they meant only one photon at a time. The interference pattern that light creates on a screen does not depend on whether you send one photon through at a time or an entire beam.
Seems to me kind of like saying "Best Pauly Shore movie ever"
