Strategic voting never works. That's how the Ontario NDP under Bob Rae ending up as the provincial government in 1990. The Liberals left him with a $700 million deficit. His brilliant economics turned it into a $9.1 billion deficit. The NDP are like a backseat driver who, when you finally get fed up and let him take the wheel, realizes he doesn't know how to drive.
That might be useful for around 1% of internet searches. Now you just need to design a feature that cleverly organizes porn to deal with the other 99%.
It's also possible to create "holographic stereograms" using a series of cameras, or a single fast moving camera. In practice, a well made holographic stereogram is indistinguisible from a genuine hologram (except that there's no vertical parallax). I don't know if this is the technique they're planning, but it may be possible to do it this way.
...because this is the first "holography" article in mainstraim media I've ever seen that appears to actually have to do with holography (as opposed to 90% of cases which are Pepper's ghost and the remaining 9.99% of cases which are just crackpots). Bottom line: holograms aren't projections. They're no magic Star Wars Princess Leia hologram, accomplishing that would require a photon to fly off in one direction and then change direction by itself at some point. And they don't like doing that so much. So I don't think the "coffee table" model they're proposing is quite what most readers are going to be picturing.
Light isn't necessary for causation, however the speed of the light acts as an upper limit for everything. Special relativity gives us something called the Lorentz transformations, and fiddling around with them you can see that if it were possible for anything, be it matter, energy, information, whatever, to travel faster than light speed than...basically bad, screwy things happen and the math doesn't make sense any more.
Yes I know, but we can see the galaxies travelling under the effect of this supposed dark flow. If we can see the galaxies being affected by these superstructures, then the light travelling to us from the galaxies which we now see left after the causal influence reached them, which means the causal influence had time to reach/us/. Which means the super structures aren't in the unobservable universe...
The speed of light is also the maximum speed of causation...if these "super structures" are outside the observable universe, how in the hell are they affecting anything within the observable universe? If they can exert causal influence on these galaxies, and the light from these galaxies has time to reach us... I could be wrong but I feel like someone, somewhere, is seriously contradicting themselves.
Maybe those string theorists can tell us if its possible there's cosmic string tied between the galaxies and a giant tug boat in hyperspace...

I've heard this so called "grid" might create an information black hole from all of the data. Is this true? We're all gonna die!
What else would someone use a laptop for, period?
Too bad Bush seems to have been following the same plan. If you think /you/ feel like an idiot now...
