Interesting, but does that mean that the device is going to be 75% more difficult to use that regular fins? No, it means that for the same amount of energy you use getting from a-b with regular flippers, you can do ~a-b-a-(b)1/2
It's a charity! If donations don't pay the bills, how else can they raise the money? I don't agree that it's extortion. By buying the products representing the ARC, you are helping support the ARC. It's a choice.
Nooo, the scale of the analogy does not matter, because the scale of both galaxies are the same magnitude. 1000Ly = 1". With ~500 Billion or so stars each, more than a few...Million... are bound to cross paths.
Oh, and by balance I mean, our orbit in the solar system. We are kept in place by the single gravity field of our sun. As these new gravity fields pass by, they will exert new forces on our orbit. Possibly causing the orbit to warp, or even decay. Which could throw us out of the habitability ring in our system.
Local bubble?
In any case, we have a few million years to speculate.
Off topic I know, but I was talking to a friend of mine on these topics and we realized something. Nanotech could also be the solution to entropy as we know it. If we don't have to expend great amounts of resources on maintenance, how much could we put towards more relevant pursuits? It could also lead to far, FAR more effective medical practices/technologies as well. Just think, completely non-invasive solutions to anything that requires surgery. Make them biodegradable and they simply dissolve into the blood stream, hell! Fill them with Calcium and Vitamin C and you got yourself a happy, healthy 150 year old.:)
Think of it this way; Tennis balls, thousands...all over a field. Roll thousands more into them from the sidelines, what are the chances that a few of the newcomers will collide with numerous others?
Also, even if none actually collide, how will these new gravitational forces affect the orbits and solar structures that already in existance? For instance, Earth. If suddenly a few dozen stars pass nearby, how will the new fields affect our undeniably delicate balance?
Nothing.
The data does not have to be sequential. You could simply ignore the section that is damaged and retrieve the undamaged portion.
What if they weren't disks? Maybe cubes or boxes? That would give you much more volume vs surface area, also if something happened to one side, you could always read it from another angle.
Also, if you don't use the layers a few millimeters from the surface you could protect all you data from damage
I would put forth that it is entirely their right who they want to distribute their IP to. Because they don't want to sell it to us does not give us the right to violate their rights. But I do agree, how does this bring more buisness to Canada in any way? If anything it stifles growth.
If people are copying software, music and movies now, what makes anybody think that increasing fines, or putting stiffer punishments is going to deter people from doing it in the future? Because now they might actually get locked up for it.
Creating a duplicate law in Canada to mirror the already proven ineffective DMCA in the US is just one step closer to having a more American nation. There are ways to deal with the copying of DVD's or the downloading of music. This is not a good way to deal with it What would you suggest? Additional packet shaping? If that the case the implications spill over to completely legal uses of the internet as well, but we have been over such things at various times in the past. We all know the consequences.

This is why the labels will never adopt a policy like this, they are too addicted to the cash they are making from the high prices, they are even making cash on top of the sales numbers from the number of suits they file on average joe downloader. They wouldn't lower prices even if piracy stopped all together. Fact is piracy is profitable for them, more so than it is hurting them, but Shhh, they want to keep that quiet.
Subliminal messages don't cause people to buy things against their will, especially in this day and age when people have become resistant to advertising. They are designed to make people think about a product without the filter of advertising. That way people will think about a product unbiased by the advertising they are normally subjected to, instead of just dismissing the product when they see a commercial. My 2c

As soon as it becomes marketably viable, there will be more than a few competitors. Which will bring prices down in a hurry.
Woot! Now every wall in my house can be an HDTV!
