    As Einstein said, it's all relative.

    Let's say you have a Dyson ring. Put a track on the inside of it. On that track, another Dyson ring. And on that second inside track, a train.

    If that train achieves 0.6 light speed and the ring below it rotates at 0.6 light speed, it means nothing on its own is going faster than the speed of light and yet the train is going at 1.2 light speed when measured against the outer ring.

    Even if 0.6 light speed is not achievable for either the train or the rings, just add more rings until the train goes above light speed compared to the outermost ring.

    There are maybe 100 stars within a 15 light year radius, and the chance that any of them happen to have intelligent life right at this moment is very slim.

    Let's say there are exactly 100 stars within a 15 light year radius. Going by the process of elimination, we already know there's only 99 of those stars which could contain intelligent life around them.

    As the others above said, the Galaxy S8 uses a USB-C connector, however I do not recognize it as a standard USB connector since you do not need to try three times to connect it the right way around.

    The only other solution is CSS-based, resolution-range-dependent images. Which is a neat idea if implemented properly in the browser and used correctly by the coder.

    That must be why most Macs cannot have their memory upgraded after purchase, or that you need to disassemble 90% of the computer to get to the RAM slots, because it makes for a better user experience... somehow.
