You don't necessarily have to travel faster than the speed of light to get from point A to point B faster than light can, because Warp Drives actually seem plausible now.
Well the problem is space has a lot of particles, and when your space ship pushes them out of the way or into the funnel at near relativistic speeds it generates a lot of lethal radiation; if it wasn't for that everybody would be cruising the galaxy in their Bussard Ramjets.
They've been promising flying cars for 60 years, hydrogen fusion power plants are 30 years away for 50 years, oh and don't even get started on Duke Nuke'em III and the year of Linux!
You would be better off with two more on each side of the car and losing the outside mirrors, those things are like speed-brakes on a fighter jet; after that you can shutter the radiator grill so your not pushing that turbulence when the radiator doesn't need air-flow and wheel well skirts and full-moon hub caps help tons.
Neutrinos do not produce Cerenkov radiation (light booms, caused by traveling faster than light) in a vacuum, but they do in a fluid such as they do at neutrino detectors such as this one.
Cerenkov radiation when a particle travels faster than light in a given medium, such as a neutron can travel faster through water than light can but still travels slower than the speed of light in a vacuum.
If that isn't confusing, consider the article says light that always has to travel at the speed of light, can't travel at the speed of light because light isn't always light!
When a news media outlet confuses an Email client program like Outlook with a Email/Calendering server program like Exchange Server, I become suspicious of either the reporter's veracity or his ability to know when he's getting a dog and pony show; yet your link reports
Emails considered an "official record" of the IRS couldn't be deleted and, in fact, needed to also have a hard copy filed. Those emails that constitute an official record are ones that are loosely defined under IRS policy as ones that were "[c]reated or received in the transaction of agency business," "appropriate for preservation as evidence of the government's function or activities," or "valuable because of the information they contain".
Which I read as any Email that is actually work related, rather than when your buddy two cubes over is going to lunch.
Expecpt the IRS uses Exchange Server so at best a copy of the emails were on Lerner's computer; what happened to the backups for the server if the Exchange Administrator didn't specifically delete them out of the archive folder?
The responsibilities for determining whether the documents are historically important or may be deleted rests with the National Archive, not the IRS or any of it's public employees.
Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) 1.10.3.2.3 (07-08-2011) Emails as Possible Federal Records
All federal employees and federal contractors are required by law to preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency. Records must be properly stored and preserved, available for retrieval and subject to appropriate approved disposition schedules.
The Federal Records Act applies to email records just as it does to records you create using other media. Emails are records when they are:
Created or received in the transaction of agency business
Appropriate for preservation as evidence of the government’s function and activities, or
Valuable because of the information they contain
If you create or receive email messages during the course of your daily work, you are responsible for ensuring that you manage them properly. The Treasury Department’s current email policy requires emails and attachments that meet the definition of a federal record be added to the organization’s files by printing them (including the essential transmission data) and filing them with related paper records. If transmission and receipt data are not printed by the email system, annotate the paper copy. More information on IRS records management requirements is available at http://erc.web.irs.gov/Display... or see the Records Management Handbook, IRM 1.15.1 http://publish.no.irs.gov/IRM/...).
An email determined to be a federal record may eventually be considered as having historical value by the National Archivist prior to disposal. Therefore, ensure that all your communications are professional in tone.
Please note that maintaining a copy of an email or its attachments within the IRS email MS Outlook application does not meet the requirements of maintaining an official record. Therefore, print and file email and its attachments if they are either permanent records or if they relate to a specific case.
1.10.3.2.4 (08-30-2012) Emails are Subject to FOIA
The public is aware of the role emails play in agency internal operations and emails are included in a growing number of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Emails that are responsive to a FOIA request must be released unless the information contained in the email falls into one of nine very specific categories of exemptions. (See IRM 11.3.13 for more on FOIA processing). There is no category of exemption to protect the author or the Service from embarrassment.
Emails provided in response to a FOIA must include the addressee, date and time. The address list, date and time are considered part of the record for both FOIA and record management purposes.
Do not delete a message or attachment that is the subject of a congressional, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), or discovery request or that is needed for litigation.

Strange I've never thought of 'whitebread' as an ethnic disaragement as much as a disparagment of the privileged or over-protected class, there's Blacks I've met whom I've considered whitebread.
The obvious solution is that Washington will field an all-Native American team, then.
Which is a good thing considering all of the derogatory and patently offensive names we could give a sports team from a town full of Laywers, Politicians and Bureaucrats.
I'm sure the poor in Uganda, Rwanda, the Congo, Kenya and Tanzania, just can't get enough of Mickie D's when making a run for the border. Actually in most of those countries making a run for the border means some genocidal maniacs are trying to kill you because you don't belong to their tribe or religion.
When I first started cooking rice, I let my WASPian ass get all over technical about it, then I realised that prehistoric illiterate cave dwellers didn't have pyrex measuring cups and they did OK for 10's of thousands of years; yes there still are prehistoric illiterate cave dwellers. All you really have to do is throw some rice in a pot, rinse it, and put your finger tip on top of the rice and add water up to your first knuckle and it's good. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer until it smells too good to leave alone and check, it's probably done.
No in a suprising number of private sector industries, losing emails, incriminating or otherwise gets you a felony conviction, I'd be surprised if the Federal Government doesn't have very stringent data preservation requirements as well.
Do you really want people like Government bureaucrat deciding what is charitable and what isn't? It's been a long time since i've felt that Most chareties were more the Moral Narcisism at best and "a front for monied self interest, pushing self interest through political propaganda" at worst, but I can't imagine how having a bureaucrat deciding which plutocrat gets a tax break makes anything better.

Obviously you've never seen an A10 really working it, when they pop up above treetop level and your a badguy, your in for a world of whoop-ass.
Wierd isn't it, old farts like me think of email as ascii characters with a file or two attached.

Consider that you only have $10 to feed your family, and just came off-shift at your minimum-wage job.
For most of the people in the article, U$10.00 is a year's income.

You are wrong, the "anymore" implies they once did.
