An experiment is worthless if you don't know enough of the theory to interpret the results. Without that knowledge it's not an experiment to determine the speed of light, but just an experiment to determine the wavelength of the microwave.
Nah, I do not have enough data to conclude that so I would assume he didn't do it on purpose. That's why I choose to enlighten him and I suggested to rethink about the fact that nothing is exact.;-))
Except for the speed of light in vacuum. And the magnetic constant. And the vacuum permittivity.
Why do you want all that privacy online? What makes it so different from real life? Do you go everywhere with gloves or cleaning your finger prints?
If the real world were filled with robots taking and archiving all fingerprints they can find, I would.
Do you clean your foot steps?

Do you erase the memories of people you meet or anyone you cross on the street?
No need. First, people are known to have a very bad memory. Unless the street is otherwise very empty, most people won't even notice me. I'm pretty sure that if directly after I was walking a crowded street you'd show the people a photo of me and asked them if they've seen me, 99% of them would say no, or say that they don't know. And a day later, you'd probably be hard pressed to find a single person who has seen me. Things would be different if I would have a particularly eye-catching appearance, e.g. if I'd color my hair in bright, unnatural colors, or were wearing pink clothes. Which I don't, and I don't for the same reason most people don't: I don't want to attract attention. Looking and behaving normal is a very effective way to maintain privacy in the public.
Second, the people you meet on the street are normal people, not stalkers who follow you and record everything you do. You don't care too much about the random person remembering you. However you'd not like a stalker following you all the time, and taking notes what you do. And that's the same thing online: I know that about every single web server keeps logs where, besides other things, my IP is recorded. I don't care, and don't consider that a breach of privacy, because I expect they won't publish or sell that data. However, I do consider advertisers tracking me as breach of privacy, or things like Google Analytics. They are not the equivalent of the people you meet on the street, they are the equivalent to the stalker.
Let's say I am a hardware manufacturer. Why do I want to make larger screen sizes when everyone is designing for smaller screen sizes?
Maybe because you think your customers would like to see their photos in higher resolution? Or because you think your users prefer their fonts in higher quality?
Why do people always think that more pixels must mean more content? A HD movie doesn't show more of the scene either!
Some cheap and clunky and altogether second-rate things that attempt to duplicate functionality of commercial software that does the job much better, that I (hate to but nevertheless) use, for any of a number of reasons: [...] GNOME/KDE/any other Linux desktop. [...]
Actually, it doesn't even tell too much about our thinking apparatus. It's just that matter was known much longer than antimatter, and before we knew antimatter, there was little reason to call the matter antimatter, because after all, what should then be the matter?

How do you know that there wasn't a backup which just turned out broken?
COBOL the language for the latest hardware.
How many smartphones run COBOL?
All the mainframe ones. :-)
You think dying in hard gamma radiation is more fun?

Don't forget you have to accelerate and decelerate. At an acceleration which you can survive.
Unlike your proposals, the FCC proposal at least doesn't violate the laws of physics or mathematics.
At the moment it goes tearing through my chest and wakes me up, I definitely perceive it.

And the vacuum permittivity.
Except that the speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299792458 m/s. Not approximately, exactly. By definition (of the meter).
OK, so they have a port for 64 bit Alpha, but what about 64 bit x86-64? :-)
299792458 m/s, to be exact.
I don't expect a shop to have cameras connected to data miners. If I find out one has, I'm not going to go there again if I can avoid it.
So being an Apple fanboi is a disability? :-)

Except for the herpes treatment from the competition.
Of course he can just buy herpes treatment from all brands. Hopefully there aren't too many.

Yes, but will they be able to talk about Linux?
Well, probably the true reason is that they hope that if they find an algorithm for social skills, they can follow it themselves.
What's the problem with those?
Why is that post at -1?
Mostly harmless.

sounds more like a guillotine to me...
A quantum guillotine. Kills you and doesn't kill you at the same time. Unfortunately only works when unobserved.
The 1018 GeV should obviously have been 10^18 GeV. Typical error doing cut&paste from text with <sup> tags.
