    Our knowledge of gravity is still incomplete, but that will never change the fact that g = 9.8m/s^2. You don't need to know everything to know some basic indisputable facts. So far Einstein's theories have checked out through experimentation. Good for him, but bad for imagining Star Trek type travel.

  7. Ageing has to exist because entropy is entropy. There's no way around it. However the RATE of ageing may be different, plus they might have found some technological solution to artificially prolong life.

    Liquid helium, baby, liquid helium... On the bright side you can share the cooling system with an MRI.

  10. If you're here and complaining about slashdot, you haven't been here long enough.

  11. Turns out they're mad they can't sell your data for 10 times what it's worth like they do with everything else - kind of ruins their whole business model.

    The issue with the wall is not only the cost. If it was, then I'd mostly agree with you.

    You have a problem with walls? Do you live in a lean to, or does your house have walls? Why?

    I just find it hilarious to watch you Americans bitch about a paltry $5B border wall, but look the other way when an audit of the Pentagon (which itself costs a billion a year, for the past 28 years) confirms that indeed, trillions of dollars are unaccounted for and in fact they have no idea exactly how much money is unaccounted for.

    If I am streaming something I am the provider. If you are downloading something and being throttled unless you pay the fast lane fee, and if I am uploading and being throttled unless I pay the fast lane fee - net neutrality is violated. I don't have to be Google. I just have to be the other end of the transaction.
