I think you have it backwards. He understood that there is no actual fixed reference. He just meant that choosing the earth as a reference point didn't help one determine whether the linkage was difficult or not. Short answer: cut him some slack.

Why Bother With DRM?

Sins of a Solar Empire
My son bought a used copy of the game and you can't use it online unless you have the previous account holder deactivated. So, it's not as DRM-free as it might sound.
I want to drive an electric golf cart to the "highway", get on a high-speed train of other golf carts, push a button to make it let me off near my destination, and then drive the cart to my job. And do the reverse on the way back.
That's the thing with the cosmological constant, though. It won't rip atoms apart because the acceleration is just too slow. If you're going with a strong scalar field ala phantom energy, sure, that's a possibility.
Unfortunately for us, the data points to w =~ -1 which means that we won't be able to distinguish between the cosmological constant and a scalar field based solely on that parameter. We'll need some new experiments instead.
It is of interest to note that if the equation for gravity were to approach r instead of r^2 at large, intergalactic distances, then the acceleration of the expansion of the universe becomes a mathematical artifact,[clarification needed] negating the need for the existence of Dark Energy.
Then...and this one made me really sad, Slashdot jumped on the web 2.0 bandwagon. What was once a clean, obvious, straight-forward website was transformed into a disgusting mess...
Are you thinking of the Big Rip? I think that one requires quintessence, whereas the accepted model thus far has been the cosmological constant. That one leans toward entropy eating up local spaces.
The exception was an idea coming out of the concept that there might be something acting a bit like an extra extended space dimension that was only accessable to gravity.
It is mentioned in Brian Greene's Fabric of the Cosmos. I don't remember if he took it all that seriously or not.
I haven't seen anything that supports the notion that inflation will tear anything apart. Rather, common forces act as a countermeasure to dark energy in local space. Eventually, the entropy increase of inflation will rob local systems of their energy, but in general, I wouldn't call this a "tearing apart".
My biggest question: Did they fix session management? On my Ubuntu 8.10 box, sessions and session saving is completely hosed. I have been eagerly awaiting a fix for this severe regression.
Well, the strong force mediators -- the gluons -- are massless too, as are photons (electromagnetism). It turns out mass is not necessary to interact with matter. This is why physicists are so taken with "fields". You can define a number of fields in which a particle participates which are mutually exclusive, but all add up to define where a particle is and what it's doing.
This is why Higgs is so exciting. It's the Higgs field which is supposed to give baryons (normal matter) mass. The general idea is that the Higgs field takes up some of a particle's energy and causes it to give off gravity. The trade-off is that the particle cannot travel at the speed of light. Some people like to think of Higgs as a "dragging field", like a particle slogging its way through mud.

No kidding. I was all about Hotbot for the very reason that it was a zillion times more usable than Altavista. It took awhile for me to switch from Google to Hotbot because it was a fairly reliable engine. Eventually PageRank won out. No one knew about Hotbot, though, which was part of its demise. It should've been run better from the beginning.
TFA states that "[p]eople still refer to the new medium by its full name--the World Wide Web." Sure, maybe in articles of the era, however, I don't think I knew anyone who didn't just call it "the internet". As geeks we knew Internet > Web, but it didn't matter. It was "the internet" as far as common parlance was concerned.

SMS is faster: because there is no GPRS/TCP/IP/SMTP/IMAP/POP connection and transfer overhead
Like during SXSW when it took 30 minutes for me to receive text messages, but I could call people without a problem.
SMS is cheaper: most plans offer a sufficient amount of free messages a month for most users, e-mail requires an additional GPRS data plan
Maybe it's just Austin, TX, but most of the plans around here have no free SMS messages.
MMVC, (my mileage varies considerably)

Yep. It also means all the data is stored on the surface of a sphere surrounding the disk.

They gravitate to fields that hold an interest/importance to them.
Indeed, I've found myself gravitating toward general relativity for some time now!

I did read this, which was pretty cool:

A perpetual motion machine however implies doing work, suggesting that energy can continually be transformed from one form to another.
Indeed, it is... perpetually transferred from anything into entropy. Haha.
