Add an ADC, an DAC and a few binnary I/O ports and you can have an alarm/garage controler, but to have a PC like we define it now, you'll only need to add networking.
I think calling it a PC streches a little less the definitions.
"There is no substitute for mass. (this is a favorite saying of mine)"
That is, at the power end. At the pre-amp modern circuits evolved a lot from 30 years ago, and digital signals have a clear advantaje over analog disks. None of that makes you wrong, but it made you sound wrong as a first impression, just because you didn't specify the scope.
Well, I guess that rule doen't apply to trojan points. Otherwise the list of planes would be quite small (4 now, but may quite well setle in 1 - Mercury - or 0 when we get better telescopes).
"the Tea Party is particularly dangerous because they seem to want a default"
Yeah, and they may be right. Maybe a default is the best course of action for you.
Ok, the best course of action would be to cut the deficity and start paying the debt. That is a certainty. Assuming that isn't policaly possible (a big assumption), a default is probably the best possible alternative.
There are only two problems with that. One is that the site does not have a search engine. The second one is that google will include the site at its results, and I bet that even if the site does implement search, google's will stil be better.
Relativity* being true, any way to FTL travel breaks causality for some reference frame.
Independently of relativity, any way to break causality will make data travel faster than light on at least one reference frame (if you allow relativity, several reference frames).
No shorcuts, or side approachs. If relativity is true, both concepts are equivalent.
* Any kind of relativity coherent with the Maxell Equations. Ok, I only know about one example, but it is nice to state the requirements clearly.
If you have FTL and relativity (doesn't need to be General Relativity, or even Eistein's Special Relativity, it just needs to be any kind of relativity coherent with Maxell equations) there are reference frames where that FTL particles reaches its destinations before living its origin. That is what the GP is trying to say.
We suddenly discovering that General Relativity is wrong won't change that picture, as the time and simultaniety dependence on reference frames are "big" phenomena from GR, the time dependence being tested on practice (and enough to imply the simultaniety dependence).
"Then didn't someone mention it was slowing at exponential rates?"
Nope. Ok, somebody may have mentioned it, but he would be wrong. There are some good information at Wikipedia, the acceleration is 8.74(+-)1.33*10^(-10) m/s2.
PC users needed the floppy because lots of proprietary software came only ono floppies or needed them to install. Also, there was the issue of "talking" to that older computer that couldn't read writable CDs (not all computers were on a network by the time), and that the writtable CDs were way more expensive than floppies.
Cheap as the drivers were, it simply made no sense to not have them.
"For instance, nobody working on Quantum Mechanics early last century would have had any clue whatsoever that this would enable the computer revolution."
Most of the applications of quantum mechanics were quite evident at the moment the theory was created. Specificaly computers were already available for a long time when solid state physics came out, and they were one of the obvious applications of the transistor, that was one of the obvious application of the theory (that is, of course, after the theory was created).
I'm not holding my breath for applications of the discovery of the Higgs' bosson. The discovery that it doesn't exist, otherwise, may be very interesting.
That said, it was just a 2.8 sigma event. Well, what are the odds of nobody seeing an expurious 2.8 sigma even up to now?
On a side note, I know plenty of people that use the SI as if it was case insensitive. Other common bastardizations:
Caling the unit "linear metter", and abreviating it as "ml" (in latin languages of course, english speaking people are more likely to use some custom unit for that)(again, propably case insensitive, so replace it by Ml, mL or ML if you like).
Abreviating second as "sec", square metter as "sqm" or "quadm", "mqd", etc.
Just popular FOSS is as good as commecial closed source software. That is probably why it becomes popular at the first place. (And no, Apache doesn't cut it. It is just popular in a ninche that is "people who run web servers". An important ninche, but still small in numbers.)
What makes me wonder... I have really no idea on what goes on most people heads.
"and uhm. the neanderthals were mass slaughtered."
So, not very different from what sapiens sapiens did to sapiens sapiens on several other ocasions... Or, you can extend that to any couple of primate species that were ever in contact.
But, also, we were mixed. All that talking about extinction as if it was a clear event is nonsense, there are only shades of gray here.

Most subwoofers are:
1 - Too light. That creates distortion at loud volumes because they vibrate.
2 - Too smal. Small frequencies need large plates, and modern subwoofers have the radius of things that were called tweeters just 20 years ago.
3 - Useless if your amplifier doesn't have enough power to move them. What is mostly the case nowadays.

I had to check, but Perl 6 is still not released.
Now I'm just afraid they decide to release it at december 2012.
I was going with "So you write an extendable language". But your way works too.

A missing carrier can be a serious problem for a plane.

I've been guilty of that a couple of times, and I'm only 30, and don't work very intensivelly with electronics.
One of those times I had to add an OP-AMP.

Congratulations, you've just invented eternal copyrights.
How much data survive for a lifetime + 70 years without a format shift?
Yeah, I bet companies that focus on streamming content sell (rent, or watever) way more streams than physical media.

You are assuming they'll find those files. Do they routinely search TPB?

Hey, if you are talking about my last post, s/sign/subscribe/... Like most people, sometimes I fall for a cognate.
Hey, you are right, and I want to sign to you newsletter.
That should be only literally... If people are able to metaphorically pass by your home computer and authenticate by password you have a problem.
Yeah, there is a problem here. What are the workarounds for the shortcomings of your underthought workarounds for the original shortcommings?
Also, what are the workarounds for the other thounsand of (way more common) use cases where one'd want copy/paste but doesn't have it?
