From the letter Source Interlink sent to their publishers here:
As I am sure you are aware, over the course of the last five months, Source Interlink Distribution Company has been vigorously engaged in discussions with publishers and national distributors across our business in an effort to correct the inefficiencies and unnecessary redundant costs that currently plague the wholesale distribution channel.
In conjunction with that effort we:
* Circulated a Summary of Terms to each national distributor in mid-March as a basis to begin that dialogue, and * Met with each of the national distributors and certain publishers on multiple occasions throughout the last two months in an effort to reach common ground.
While we have made significant progress in finding mutually agreeable solutions with publishers and national distributors alike, one of our largest suppliers has recently decided to cease supply and move in a different direction. As such, it's with a heavy heart that I am writing to advise you that Source Interlink Distribution Company will be discontinuing all operations in the near future.
In other words, they tried to Wal-Mart strongarm their distributors/vendors, and when the biggest one said "fuck you" and went elsewhere, their business imploded. And so an uber-distributer middleman dies. So sad.
Unfortunately, the renamed distributer (TEN: The Enthusiast Network) (my $deity how pretentious) now says on their website:
The TEN audience represents the largest concentration of males 18-34 within the automotive and outdoor-adventure markets.
So the crossover between that and the 2600 audience is approximately nil, making a successful boycott unlikely. Nuking them from orbit on social media however...
For outstanding gallantry and meritorious debugging in the face of hostile scripts, at the risk of sanity, above and beyond the call of regular expressions.
Ahh. So you're saying it follows a zig-zag path. Now THAT makes more sense. So the TOTAL travel speed isn't c, just each individual leg of the journey is.
1) Irrespective of frequency, my question stands. Electrons/positrons CAN'T travel at c, photons MUST. So EM radiation (happy now?) must travel like a dotted line.
2) We're talking about visible photons in this case, anyways.
The electron-positron pair CAN'T travel at c, so there must be a deceleration when the pair is formed. Sure, when they recombine to become a photon again, they must (by definition) be traveling at c once more. So, by my thinking, either c varies with distance, or there's something wrong with this model. Could one of you astrophysics guys speak to this?
Yup. I've noticed every ultra-leet hacker on TV seems to favor the Surface. At whatever they're up to always seems to involve the Windows 8 start screen as well. Microsoft must spend a ton of money on product placement.

Actually, it's a misquote. The original quote is "Perl is death".
And, of course, that's got NOTHING to do with the fact that it's big businesses who are the ones fouling the global commons for their own selfish profit. Again.

But their argument is irrefutable. "But the wind speed changes!! They didn't mention that!!". I only have three words. Double-U Oh Double-U.

One day soon, "Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL)" will be a lobbyist. Welcome to revolving-door government, Congressman.
You misspelled "plutocrat". Which, I suspect, is what the OP really meant.
It's really too bad that there's already historical precedent for "chaining people to oars" - otherwise, Amazon could patent it.

Maybe one day we'll explore the idea that the geometry of space-time isn't flat, and that most of our constants aren't.
If you leave off the last letter, does that make it a wor?

Actually, that's a good point. The specs themselves gives their cluelessness away.
Dihydrogen monoxide SHOULD be outlawed. That shit will kill you. You know fish fuck in that stuff.
'Cause THAT'S what people do with tablets...
Can you cite the direct Congressional actions that outlawed diazinon or PCBs or even DDT? Yeah, I thought not. Those were all executive actions.
And, of course, that's got NOTHING to do with the fact that it's big businesses who are the ones fouling the global commons for their own selfish profit. Again.
Yeah, there was always that clicking sound when Reagan blinked, and that whirring when he turned his head.
