If the current age of the universe is finite, then it must have come into being - been created - at some point.
No. Even with a finite age, there's absolutely no need for a beginning. Just like the positive reals have no first element (for each positive real, there's a smaller positive real; note that 0 is not a positive real), there need not be an earliest point in time.
Strange logic you seem to be using. Nowhere did I even remotely imply that. And no, I don't watch it to prove I'm a geek. I watch it for my amusement only.
And BTW, you don't seem to know the meaning of the standard character sequence

Finally, there's surrealism. Why the hell is the fish slapping dance funny? I don't know but it's a sure-ass way to incapacitate me and a lot easier than a taser.
So you suggest using Monty Python humor as non-lethal weapon? Well, unless it's this joke.
If you ever had met the knights saying "Ni", you'd have found out that they aren't funny. Do you know how terrible it is if someone says "Ni" to you? And you tell us it's funny! What's next? Will you also tell us that waterbording is funny? Not that waterbording is even close as painful as someone saying "Ni" to you. You know, even in Guantanamo, they never said "Ni" to the prisoners. If they had, it would certainly have been considered torture even by the most hard-core Republican.
So stop telling us that saying "Ni" to harmless people is funny. You are just glorifying violence!
If it's not your data, you have to add liability, because after all whoever owns the data you are managing may some time want his current data back. If it isn't important, why go to the trouble of storing it in the first place? Or are you storing it because it might become important in the future? Well, in that case, you better treat it like important data now.
Why? What could be a better phrase to describe something entirely clouded, than "cloud"? Keep the term and contrast it to "clear sky computing" where no clouds hide the sun (i.e. the data).
Honestly, I can only think of one application where not needing a power cord for a 50cm distance is all that helpful: a "charging pad" to recharge your mobile devices by just setting it on the pad, without having to mess with wires and connectors. However, I don't think this is likely to happen for a long, long time: mobile phone makers make a lot of money by charging out the ass [...]
So you pay them so they plug your mobile phone into their ass to charge it? Of course, you shouldn't be surprised if it sounds like shit afterwards.
Well, maybe some future generation will be genetically engineered to grow an antenna in their skin. Of course with direct link to the speech centers in the brain, to directly communicate through it without actually speaking.
Well, at least it would be a nice idea for a Science Fiction story.

Indeed, there may even be a way how information may leave a black hole. At least the author of this preprint claims so.
No, it was Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England, who posted.

If it's not about people, there's no _story_.
Yes, there is.
Let's see.
Monty Python inspired the name for:
I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners inspired the name for: ?
... Humo(u)r was stale and repetitive at the time.
Humor without the "u" still is.
But then it's clearly not British Humour.
I don't know that!
Aaaaiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....
This is slashdor you insensitive clod! It should be:
I don't know that!
%&#&%#Carrier Lost
That can happen with avian carriers.
And why don't people make some more Beatles songs while they're at it?
They can't get enough Beatle Juice.
Yeah, what has Monty Python ever brought us?
Where are the knights who always say: "First Post"?
If you don't consider them funny, are you sure you're a geek? :-)

It will move everywhere where you don't want it to be?

Indeed, the whole earth runs on wireless power transmission from the sun.
Since it's from Sony, it will probably have built-in DRM, so only authorized systems can use the power.
If they were trained better, they could throw the power supply over a larger distance than merely 50 centimeters.
Given that my mobile phone is normally off, it doesn't matter where I wear it. I only switch it on when I use it.
Well, maybe some future generation will be genetically engineered to grow an antenna in their skin. Of course with direct link to the speech centers in the brain, to directly communicate through it without actually speaking.

I'm pretty sure that if you wear a tinfoil suit, you'll be more easily tracked, because you cast stronger "WiFi shadows."
Actually, the useful content will be not much more than on Blu Ray. The rest of the space will be used for the excessive DRM.
