Wow, the timing of your post here is only minutes after the paragraph you quote was added. Coincidence? I think not. Your vandalism has already been reverted, and your utter bullshit lies have been removed.
Stop! Stop, will you?! Stop that! Stop it! Now, look! No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle! Do you understand?! Even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say 'Trademark'.
This guy is no better than Nostradamus. He has no real insight, no technical background, no basis in the scientific method or objective reality. He is a paid fantasizer and daydreamer without the skill to even create an enjoyable storyline. I wonder how much this nobody paid slashdot to advertise his scam?
Things in spacetime may not exceed the speed of light. Spacetime itself is under no such constraints. The big bang wasn't a bunch of junk exploding onto some primordial empty stage like so much bomb shrapnel. The stage was created at the same time as the junk. The stage is getting bigger, carrying the junk along with it.

It's not expanding into anything. It defines space and time, outside the universe there is no space or time. The universe isn't some bubble suspended in some larger structure. Even if it is, that wouldn't matter. You claim that the speed of light in "nothingness" is different than in a vacuum. That is completely untestable and utterly beside the point.
Things can not go faster than light. Space can very easily go faster than light. Spacetime is expanding faster than light. It isn't that things are exploding out from the big bang faster than the speed of light like so much cosmic shrapnel. Space itself is expanding faster than light.
Whether or not there is something "outside" the universe is a moot point. If it truely is outside the universe, there is no way it can ever act on things inside the universe, and we will never know.
In my particular situation, I have a customer who claims that the product we delivered them was slow and unresponsive.
Customer: "Hey, Funkmaster Fresh Fly , those girls you sent over took two hours to get here, and they were nodding off on heroin when they arrived. They just lay there drooling!"
However, when we tested it to try and determine what was wrong, we didn't find anything wrong with it.
Funkmaster Fresh Fly: "Yeah, we fucked those bitches hard and they was squirmin' around and yellin' and shit. Maybe you just got a little dick?"
Thank you, that explanation is better than the dozen or so above it. Space itself is expanding. People can't picture space expanding very well, they picture the big bang as an explosion in space, with galaxies and such spewing forth into the empty void.
Picture a balloon. The surface represents our space-time. Draw some dots on it, representing our stars and galaxies. Now blow it up. Even though the dots aren't moving in relation to their local space-time, they appear to move in relation to each other. Light is constrained to move through space-time at a certain speed, but space-time itself is under no such limitation.
REG: Right. Now, uh, item four: attainment of world supremacy within the next five years. Uh, Francis, you've been doing some work on this. FRANCIS: Yeah. Thank you, Reg. Well, quite frankly, siblings, I think five years is optimistic, unless we can smash the Roman empire within the next twelve months. REG: Twelve months? FRANCIS: Yeah, twelve months. And, let's face it. As empires go, this is the big one, so we've got to get up off our arses and stop just talking about it! COMMANDOS: Hear! Hear! LORETTA: I agree. It's action that counts, not words, and we need action now. COMMANDOS: Hear! Hear! REG: You're right. We could sit around here all day talking, passing resolutions, making clever speeches. It's not going to shift one Roman soldier! FRANCIS: So, let's just stop gabbing on about it. It's completely pointless and it's getting us nowhere! COMMANDOS: Right! LORETTA: I agree. This is a complete waste of time. [BAM - the door opens] JUDITH: They've arrested Brian! REG: What? COMMANDOS: What? JUDITH: They've dragged him off! They're going to crucify him! REG: Right! This calls for immediate discussion! COMMANDO #1: Yeah. JUDITH: What?! COMMANDO #2: Immediate. COMMANDO #1: Right. LORETTA: New motion? REG: Completely new motion, eh, that, ah-- that there be, ah, immediate action-- FRANCIS: Ah, once the vote has been taken. REG: Well, obviously once the vote's been taken. You can't act another resolution till you've voted on it... JUDITH: Reg, for God's sake, let's go now! REG: Yeah. Yeah. JUDITH: Please! REG: Right. Right. FRANCIS: Fine. REG: In the-- in the light of fresh information from, ahh, sibling Judith-- LORETTA: Ah, not so fast, Reg. JUDITH: Reg, for God's sake, it's perfectly simple. All you've got to do is to go out of that door now, and try to stop the Romans' nailing him up! It's happening, Reg! Something's actually happening, Reg! Can't you understand?! Ohhh! [slam] REG: Hm. Hm. FRANCIS: Oh, dear. REG: Hello. Another little ego trip for the feminists. LORETTA: What? FRANCIS: [whistling] REG: Oh, sorry, Loretta. Ahh, oh, read that back, would you?
Thurgood Marshall is in a group for people who are addicted and need help.
Thurgood: Hi, I'm Thurgood. Entire Group: Hi, Thurgood. Thurgood: and I am addicted to marijuana. Entire Group groans Addict: You in here for some marijuana?!? Marijuana!?!? Man, this is some BULLSHIT! Bob Saget: Marijuana is not a drug! I used to suck dick for Magic: The Gathering cards! Addict: I seen him! Bob Saget: Now that's an addiction man! You ever suck some dick for Marijuana?! Addict: HUH?! Thurgood: No, I can't say I have. Bob Saget: Yeah I didn't think so... Addict: Boo this man! BOO!!!

Good point, you are right and newer processors, both Intel and AMD, support virtualization natively. With one of these processors, you can run Windows under Xen. The common interface is needed because 99.5% of processors out there do not support native virtualization.
And if you think getting them to agree on a Linux kernel interface is hard, just try getting them to agree to a common image format. It's not gonna happen.
Yeah, what teh_crizzle said. Xen is harder to set up, but also doable without wrecking your install. The thing about Xen is, it works by modifying the kernel, so any linux installation media needs a modified kernel to install into Xen. But Xen is faster on any processor that doesn't have built in virtualization. On the other hand, VMWare is much easier to use, so if you want to use virtualization for playing around with new distros, VMware is your best bet.
Larry Niven's Known Space series has armor exactly like this, that stiffens on impact. The only thing the armor has in common with Dune is that a slow impact gets through, IIRC in Dune they used some kind of force field. Larry describes what it's like to try to run in a suit like this while being peppered with automatic gunfire. Kinda funny. I don't think the Dune force fields stiffened up and made you fall over while being shot...
Drinkypoo, you've been here long enough, you should know that daveschroeder is a skilled apologist for the right wing. He can literally admit no wrongdoing in his heroes. Normally I'm not one to talk about other slashdotters in the third person like that, but in case you haven't figured it out by now, there is no way of winning an argument with dave. And you can't piss him off, either. Or rather, you can, but he will never reply angrily as dave. He's really very good at propaganda, so there is no point in even acknowledging his posts. Every time you respond it just lends him credibility in the eyes of the gullible.
If I were the tinfoil hat type, I would suspect him of being a paid Republican astroturfer.
Come on, we all know what testing blood substitutes on unkowing volunteers leads to: zombification. Some kind of monsterism, at the least. Don't these people watch horror movies?

So use THC? That should be water soluble, right?
No. If it were, it would dissolve in bong-water and smoking a bong wouldn't get you high.
Just hang a jolly roger off its tail and nail a plank to its back and you're all set.
