Where in that statement do you see anything about "another planet" generating this light? It's simply "the light of another planet", generated by the planet or otherwise.
Shake shake shake! Shake that baby! C'mon now, get with it!
Shaking it up real nice now. Shaking so hard you can't shake no more. Keeping it loose and let me tell you, ain't gonna be no crying from no one no more, dig?
Actually, I'd argue that there is a persistence of sound phenomenom. This is how multi-voice sound was done on the PC speaker in the pre-Soundblaster days - at least, I think that's how it was done. Well, I wrote a few QBasic programs, at any rate, that alternated through a few voices in sequence, playing a fraction of a note for one voice, the a fraction of a note for another voice, switching across them with the smallest interval possible (like a multitasking OS).
I've found that parallel computing has provided an excellent means to avoiding obsolescence by allowing the creation of massive computers that have the potential to crush comparitively tiny, "modern" systems. While the prototype AppleCrate is just a small, tentative step in this direction, a future system comprising NES subprocessors in addition to the "Oregon Trail"-codenamed CPUs could spontaneously develop mech-transformative properties, allowing the weapon-aided destruction of systems not puny enough to be crushed by sheer mass.
Seriously, AppleCrate rules. Check it out. It is not much of a parallel computer since the nodes are, well, they're Apple IIs, and even if that wasn't a problem, I think I could outtype the interlink.
Yeah, no kidding. Also, the discussion is pretty meaningless unless the compiler is considered, target architecture, etc. It's a safe bet that this sort of semantically equivalent code has generated assembly that has no performance advantage either way for any compiler made in like the last bazillion years. Oh yeah, who writes C code anymore?
I for one am ecstatic that the Americans are taking this bold step. We have suffered under the threat of extraterrestial communication interference far too long. As a godless Canadian, a citizen nonetheless of the pan-American empire, I will proudly point my cell phone toward the heavens in the direction of least reception, and prostrate myself in the name of his divine governance, whoever-it-is-who's-running-the-military-down-ther e, Jr.
There are like twelve dimensions here. Don't feel jealous though, they are really boring. There is not even any ketchup, and not in the extra dimensions. When I went to the car, then the gravity was different, so I thought so. There is another dimension, but it is oriented left on top, so arranged laterally. With the extra dimensions, lucidity is beneficial but orthogonal to our clear destination. I anticipate an increase in coherency, thought may suffer but I think a good drive will clear my mind. There is health but in the yellow, it is vaporous, and at such speed some clouds are quite hard. Be oviparous, but not before it hatches!
Jack and Patrick are huddled around a LARGE MONITOR displaying an OKUDAGRAM showing the contraction of the universe. Lauren luxuriates on the couch nearby, studying a PADD displaying a PICTURE of NOG that she called up from his personnel file.
JACK
The fact is that the universe is going to stop expanding and collapse in on itself. We've got to do something before it's too late.
Patrick's upset, but Lauren is more interested in Nog's picture.
Welcome to remedial physics. You may be interested to know that the force due to the Earth's gravitational attraction upon an object corresponds to that object's mass. The force is such that the object will accelerate at 9.8 m/s^2 if no other forces are in opposition.
Also, an odometer measures nothing more than displacement, the magnitude component of the velocity vector. Displacement is the antiderivative of speed, not velocity.
(an odometer is not a true measure of displacement because it will not run backwards when the car is reversed)
That's fantastic and I'm glad it's working out for you, but I don't think I'd cite as one of the benefits of my favourite operating environment that it runs *less* software.
A (compartively) new way of encoding byte-streams

You've got the right idea, but let me build on it. A relatively new development you may not have heard of has been created by some industrious Germans several centuries ago. This new method of presenting byte-streams is highly affordable, portable, and contains an embedded reader which does not require an external source of energy. While the initial selection of material was limited, I understand that the idea of the Gutenburg press has taken off to some extent in the following centuries, meaning that you should be able to ship any number of Dungeons and Dragons paperbacks to your friend.
At home, I run two servers - one inside the firewall with NFS services and so on, and the firewall itself, which is a self-sufficient machine except during boot, where it netboots from the NFS server. After that point, its two NICs are only used for routing packets. All administration takes place through the serial port, which init respawns/bin/sh onto. The system runs off of a ramdisk loaded during the netboot. I've found this to be a nice solution, and it rules out any possibility of breach since the machine is only accessible through a serial port hardwired to the server - ethernet interfaces are configured to only route packets.
On old hard disks, there was a jumper to control spin-up - you could either have the disk spin-up automatically, or when it is first accessed. You could probably get away with telling the BIOS only about the boot disk, and when the operating system loads its IDE driver, the rest of the disks would spin up (most OSes disregard BIOS and talk to the controller directly, though I would not be surprised if this fails under Windows). If you're using an OS that you can hack the drivers to, it would be simple to put in a delay after initialization of each device.
Note that you might be screwed if the drives decide to spin-down for powersave, and then spin-up simultaneously. Unless you hacked the IDE driver (noflushd on Linux could be modified for this but.. overloading the power supply like this is really asking for it. Bad things will happen.)
Of course, this is all back in the 486 age with 200MB IDE disks and BIOSes that didn't auto-probe the disks, blah blah blah.
apt just keeps getting better. Now it has front-ends that handle choosing the best mirror for you, so you can have guilt-free and speedy upgrading goodness.

Sixty trillion years, seventy at the most.

Oh, no.
The moral of the story: don't worry about what you can't solve, and isn't even going to hurt you anyway.
Correction: displacement is the magnitude component of the position vector, not velocity. The magnitude of the velocity vector is of course speed.

Hmm.. given the current score of "0, Troll" for your comment, perhaps you do not understand the moderation system correctly.
...and anyway, ARP isn't routable, which means you can rule out attacks that aren't from hosts on the same segment.
Dude, letting dhcpcd set your hostname is extremely lame.
Whoa.. what if fake numbers were posted to convince people to do what you propose en masse?

Actually, probably replace those semicolons with && so commands proceed only if everything is ok.
