im confused as to wether this means information can travel faster through dense matter than it could travel through a vacuum but i'm not a numbers man and i'm mostly too afraid to ask because im way too much of a layman in the vast domains of the exact sciences (i also wonder what non-exact sciences would be exactly)
i like the way you say should be, einsteins might be the longest standing theory in modern physics and thank all gods without the man we might have needed another hundred years to get where we are, a flash of insight is sometimes worth more than a decade of empiric research, but it doesn't mean it can't be incomplete. If we can't go faster than light we're probably stuck here anyway and doomed to go extinct
i think that's a great suggestion, unfortunately physicists are mysterious cave-dwelling hermits around here:-) i'm afraid if i leave my lair i will be burned at the stake for not admitting the earth is flat
again, and often, i wonder... did einstein talk about nothing goes faster than light from the observers point of view , which wouldnt make any calculations mathematically wrong i suppose, or did he boldly state that nothing in the whole wide multiverse could possibly move faster than light ? You think it's possible to, like, clone him , recreate the exact circumstances that made him old Albert and just ask him, or would it be more simple to create a time machine (which would require going faster than light ?) the resemblance between physics and philosophy often silences me (as it does now:)
so that's why they're gonna try and sell bing and the (more or less failed for serious gaming) kinect to the mainstream-public (couch-potato's sounds so lazy hm) ?
yea, the question is : is the job finished by the time the deadline arrives, this whole old idea of getting paid to work 8-12 hours instead of getting paid to get a job done within a certain time limit is kind , well, old ? I was just wondering what difference it makes wether they get dressed or not... who cares if they use one hand for fapping if the results are in by the end of the day ?
Isreal is non-european... it's definitely not african, it's not american, its not australian, and i have a hunch it's non-asian...
did we just discover a new continent ?
Any coded code will have to be approved by the ministry of information ofcourse... we can't have those dissidents spreading their social networking all over the place
yea, i remember playing this game front to back and back again on my Atari Jaguar (your atari what???) it was epic... and now they are making a game with the same name that is nothing like it? why am i thinking duke-nukem... only the first duke nukem was an fps... all of a sudden i'm not impressed by something i haven't seen yet
do your research on glowing humans, leave cats alone, you should all die horribly of aids and cancer for testing on animals, if not i will gladly shoot you, just send me a card with name and adress
and what's more, most popular titles cost like 10-15 euros more in steam / EA digital download, plus you get the dvd with it so you can sell it again if you like... upcoming skyrim costs 35 euro's in pre-order at gamersland (nl , thats including mail to my doorstep) , 49,99 on steam, i guess EA prices will be comparable to steam
yea, i've never known a movie with jack black to not sell... but , i'm a bit confused, just how much losses did they make with this movie ? i'm still convinced the stuff that sells the most gets downloaded the most as well so it's a simple case of greed (as if that wudnt stating the obvious...)
ran a piece? rant a piece... i take my gaming seriously , like you and your soccer and your baseball teams, if you insult my team, i will beat you into a bloody pulp in the back alley overthere:p
for any kind of system to work properly, we need to be a lot further up the social and personal evolutionary scale. The ultimate state would be anarchy (as in not the guy with the bomb, but the point in mental evolution where this is possible)
if everyone here was as enthusiast about clean energy the world would have been saved by now... seems like tanks and rockets still own survival of the species:p
i was looking for something to reply to... let's consider it a fact that fossil fuels are limited unless we can put humanity in stasis for a few million years... need i go further on that line ? no ? thanks !
i didnt read the article, i dont believe in people anymore all they do is scam
as far as i can see, everybody shows at least one 'trait' of at least one kind of disorder so mating could lead to the extinction of the human race as we know it, which is imo not a bad idea, except the bit that all this mating leads to more humans than matter available on earth in the end, its a nice gedanken experiment really
legalism is a bitch, like any ism, it makes laws the business strategies of the state, not to protect people, but to make money. I suppose they could check if the company has a valid license, i suppose they could read it indeed for sentences like 'buy vigara online or something, but i don't really think it's their job to know what meds are legal or illegal, easy money for the king i say
epidemics have more chance of spreading in densely populated areas like cities, which also happen to be mostly cesspools of evil and decadence, as opposed to small fundamentalist communities, which happen to be (small and) isolated and keep to themselves ?
with more and more people mastering i suppose the value of diplomas (is it degrees?) devaluates. Whereas say 50 years ago you were the man if you went to college and finished it, now you're supposed to take specialization, and preferably one or two sub-fields in which to almost-master in order to have a chance at making it on a certain level. Having had a certain amount of education seeds certain expectations, do we all know people who won't accept this or that job because it's just too low for what they've studied for ? Problem stays with informatisation and automatisation even if you get more 'worker-class' people (sounds so caste-system now i read it) there's simply not enough work for everyone anymore, so maybe it would be better if all companies decided to cut one day of work per person and divide the load among the jobless (i know, this is practically impossible you can't just divide every kind of job or project among two different people, it would require a level of convergence that is like almost impossible to achieve)... my glass ain't half empty, it's practically dried out, in short, i think we're screwed as a society.

looks like it ... i hereby officially take back the part where i said the Gates seemed not that bad since he left the rudder of M$

no, this is the fifth era, where anonymous geeks develop superpowers and hold the old world in a digital grasp and shake its foolishness at the stars
