It seems like the comments about information not being sent faster than normal light speed were all based on the fact that the light entering the chamber was traveling at normal light speed in air. If this chamber was extended over a larger distance, is there any other reason why information would not travel faster than normal light speed? And could scenes from the future be viewed by shining light through a cesium cloud?
In my ochem class we were calling pairs of enantiomers R and S, after the latin right and left (rectus and sinister). But everyone here seems to be using L and R, so I was just wondering what the rest of the world calls enantiomers.

I see this whole argument as sort of like the fight against Micros~1, until someone else can provide all of AOL's good features without the bad ones, AOL will continue to get even more customers and other ISP's will keep getting taken over. Good things about AOL: -Very easy to use, relatively simple to configure -AOL's keywords and channels make things relatively easy to find. -AOL has the same standard interface for any computer with AOL installed on it. -AOL supports some major open source projects -AOL comes preloaded with windows communication and multimedia software. -It's relatively easy for the main user to censor the other accounts, slightly harder to avoid this filtering. Bad things about AOL: -AOL's spam , esp. its special deals with advertisers. -AOL's crippled standard browser (even though you're forced to get IE 5.0, it runs outside the main window so most AOL users don't know about it.) -E-mail is not sent to the recipient immediately. -Frequent busy signals and poor speed. -AOL's monolithic interface takes huge amounts of resources, running very slowly on older computers. -and all of the other stuff about AOL being an evil corporation and trying to control the media, etc. http://www.aolsucks.org so does anyone want to create a better isp for clueless newbies?
Metallica doesn't seem to understand this, they think that Napster users are actually trading the master recordings. They are right that Napster is acting as a distributor, like the RIAA, because their business model is based on making profits by distributing others' copyrighted works, albeit indirectly. Metallica chat log, if you missed the link This is fundamentally different from distributed networks like Gnutella, and I think that Napster should not be profiting by distributing the IP of Metallica. I would not want to support a Linux distributor that made 99% of its profits by copying and distributing M$ software, even if they were giving it away to users for free.
Wasn't John Glenn's return to space supposed to be to study the effects of low gravity on older people? I've heard it was just because he had pull as a US senator, but maybe we will get some valuable information out of this.

Anyone else around here listen to KMFDM? Oh, and have you seen KMFMS?
