    Teleporters? Pshaw!

    Wormholes is the way to go. Just step across and you're 4000 miles deep in Jupiter's Red Storm.

    That's a lot of thrones to sit on and scepters to hold. Wish I knew how to sculpt. Would do a statue of the Queen, with lots of arms like a Hindu god, each holding a scepter or globe of a country she reigns over.

    So the Queen's actually like an empress?

    A buddy had a '67 Corvair that had been a NASA camera platform for filming planes landing. The roof was chopped off, a 327 small block was installed in the back seat and a plywood platform on top of the engine.

    You could have the car in 4th gear and let off the clutch too fast and it spin the tires. So much torque in such a light car!

  6. Re:The hand of Godel? on Hawking: No 'Theory of Everything' · · Score: 1

    Wait, you mean, with non-carbon based light sensors that look out in to space and wonder? I suppose the universe doesn't have to use star-dust with billion year old carbon to look back at itself.

    Or are you talking about a universe where stars don't form carbon at all? Maybe different atomic structure that changes how materials fuse and collapse?

    Yup, an old uncle taught me and my cousins how to use the clutch by getting us to hold his truck on a slope using just the clutch and then being able to go forward and backward with the clutch. Fun stuff.

    There was that story about that tea party candidate who used black magic to remove human causes from global warming, but not in Russia. But it didn't mention any tech.

  21. Re:MS is hurting on Media Loves Apple and Its Army of Fans · · Score: 1

    I did Mac support at a college back in late '90's. Best we could do was a Netware share mount on login. Back then, Mac OS 8/9 was not geared towards a multi-lan, client/server environment. And with all the trouble we now have with OS X, Kerberos and AD authentication, yeah, still not the best. And forget SMB server use. Seems every time Microsoft applies a server patch, Apple breaks Samba and users can't connect to our win2008 servers.
