Einstein assumed it travelled at the speed of light and built this into his 1915 general theory of relativity.
He reworked the equations of general relativity to express the gravitational field of a moving body in terms of its mass, velocity and the speed of gravity.
(both from the article)
So, Kopeikin used the equations of general relativity and found the same speed of gravity as built-in to general relativity... isn't that a bit meaningless?
No, the suggested question in the books is "What is six times nine?" as found by Arthur randomly selecting scrabble pieces. Six times nine does equal 42... in base 13 (that's 13 in base ten:)).
The Neo project was linked to from this article, which is still on the front page. There were serveral comments discussing it. I believe it was also slashdoted by being linked to from that article. Have the editors no mercy?
Godwin's Law prov.
[Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.
How to time travel forward is known: just go at relativistic speeds (near light-speed). Of course, we don't have the technology to go fast enough for this effect to be measurable without very precise insturments. If time travel backwards is possible... I don't know.
Someone will end up with a leaked alpha or beta copy of Office 11 and start working on the file format. If they will be able to figure it out fast enough is the question. It's possible, but if it's not done completely enough by Office 11's release what you describe will happen.
Someone else said that Microsoft won't change.doc anymore partially because Google supports returning.doc's in search results... of course that just requires stripping all formating, which would probably be pretty easy.
Very true, I remember in another topic those two ideas were suggested and the idea of, if you aren't a minor, getting drunk and taping yourself signing the EULA because appearently contracted signed while drunk are also void.
I saw that, program CDs is not one of the options, it's music files, video files, mixed content, and music CDs, I have all of them disabled, but I still get auto-play on game CDs.
That's really going to hold up in court: "I signed the contract, but deep down inside I didn't agree."
Of course, people on/. say EULAs won't hold up in court either.
It won't be dominated by Wal-Mart because Linux is free. If Dell and Gateway see a profit in selling computers with Linux (probably Mandrake or Lindows) even though they would have to pay more for Windows, then Wal-Mart would have competitors. Of course, "if MS loses" is a big if.

Slashdot would never link to anything breaking the DMCA of course.

"That said, the NewsHour with Jim Leher was recently named the most credible and objective television news show."
But how 'credible and objective' was the person/organization that said that?
So basically Microsoft is only scared of Linux because they read incorrect Slashdot headlines without reading the article?

Actually, Microsoft is the source of all evil... maybe "the root of all evil" is a different position.
I still use Windows XP because it has a good interface. The X interface is horrible (I've tried KDE and Gnome).
I'd say that an atomic clock is a "very precise insturment" wouldn't you?

That only works for people who actually send out HTTP Referers. I don't.
Then use an open 802.11b network. They're everywhere these days.

Well, they could make the CD eject if you click no.
How do you disable autoplay under Windows XP? I can't find the option for it, I remember seeing it under Windows 98, but now I can't find it.
