I don't know about the time paradox (relativity only says physical objects can't move faster than light, AFAIK). But suppose it was possible, you would have a "subspace (TM)" communications system. So shouldn't SETI be listening for this, instead of some alien civilization's TV reruns?
Wouldn't it be cool to paint this stuff on the toilet seats at work? Then you could tell how long it's been since it has been in use. I hate sitting on a warm seat.
How about this one? Mental anguish because you were forced to become a software pirate since you had to "borrow" your copy of Windows (and Word, and Excel, and whatever else) from work just to be compatible with the rest of the world? If only they haden't bullied everyone into being "MS-compatible".
We spend a lot of time and resources constantly proving license compliance, while we try to plan an optimum configuration to deal with the rising cost of ownership related to Microsoft's products.
The is another company Platforms Wireless that has a better system: they tether a lighter-than-air craft at 15,000 feet. It covers a 70-mile radius. Sounds a lot cheaper than paying for 24/7 pilots.
Also, I thought there was a slashdot story awhile back about an unmanned airplane that would use solar power to generate hydrogen during the daytime, and then run on fuel cells during the night. It could stay up indefinitely.
Now I know why there is an energy crisis in California.
BTW, this DOESN'T sound like a rail gun. A rail gun uses a series of magnets to propel a projectile. This sounds like it uses one rapidly expanding magnetic field.
Further, it will allow the Linux / NetBSD ports to compare against each other leading to innovation and performance tuning.
Are you kidding? You're talking about open source software here. Microsoft syas it wil stifle innovation and it's bad for the software industry, and I believe them.
You are probably thinking of "Fantastic Voyage" and it was from the 60's (I think it was a book by Isaac Asimov). The effects were pretty good for the time, but lame by today's standards.
Microsoft will announce that Unix never should have been developed in the first place. Then all the BSD's will call it quits, Sun will go supernova, and Bell Labs will offer an apology for wasting everone's time and money.
I'll tell you what's confusing. My first calculator was an HP-25. I was perfectly comfortable learning and using RPN. Now I have trouble using my Casio, what with all those parentheses and other damn fool things.

Of course, Maxwell Smart had a shoe phone.
And the Man From U.N.C.L.E had an ISDN pen phone. "Open channel D".

What you say!!
Now I know why there is an energy crisis in California.

Yeah, what he said.
BTW, what's "holocost"? Is that the admission price for a turn in the Holodeck?
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

all your base are belong to us.
Not my base, FreeBase. It belong not to your. All my base are belong to Open Source Base.
Has anyone heard of any patents pending or granted for a computer virus?
Well, yes, if M$FT has any patents on any Windows technology.
I guess M$FT could buy the settop box market for WinCe by paying AT&T $5B to use it.

The film rights for the Fuji International TV show were picked up a couple of years ago and a script by Jeff Eastin (True Lies 2, Shasta McNasty)
Really, there was a True Lies 2? Never even heard of it.
OK, now back to Becker (The Lost Episode).
Microsoft will announce that Unix never should have been developed in the first place. Then all the BSD's will call it quits, Sun will go supernova, and Bell Labs will offer an apology for wasting everone's time and money.
You're going to put out someone's eye with those things.
Putting that aside, is .NET really Java?
No, because Microsoft said so, and I believe them.
If you ran WinCE and WinME on an AT, it would be WinCeMeAt. (I swear this isn't a link to that goatsex thing. No really, it isn't I tells ya.)
Qwest (formerly USWest) offers VDSL service in Phoenix to about 60k homes, and I think they plan to expand to other states.
Just like in a marriage - by the time you decide you need couselling it's too late.
I agree - bail now.
When it comes to the workplace, where do loyalties end and responsibilities to oneself begin?
How much loyalty does your company have in you? My bet is they would sack your ass in a hearbeat.

First push 1 then 0 to the stack
00 - push
01 - push
02 - pop
03 - pop
04 - +
05 - pause
06 - goto 00
