They probably need to take into account both types of masturbation: physical, and mental.
Wouldn't oil companies want to reduce production so that they can hike up prices for the oil that they currently have? Or am I missing a basic element of economics?
I doubt this is her... All I remember her for was asking "Does the Black Hole suck in all the matter?!?" in a physics course, and the professor replying "There are only 3 kinds of orbits. There is no suck orbit."
"Speed of light is relative to the object that gives the light."
No, the speed of light in a vacuum, "c", is absolute, regardless of how fast anyone is moving with respect to another person. You're seriously confusing everything.
"This page gets attention because he bitch-slaps big names, but his basic math claim gets him an F in any undergrad special relativity class."
Clearly this is because the academic world is afraid of these notions. They keep the "great" minds of history up on pillars to hide their fundamental lack of understanding.
"Mach 1.25 is a perfectly well-defined speed that does not violate any laws of physics, and what do you know--it's a dimensionless number."
Not only that, but physicists like to express measurements in odd dimensions, like expressing time as a length and vice versa. Then again, most people do this on a daily basis, whenever they tell someone how far away a place is, and express it in time: "The airport is 40 minutes away."

So, I can start up any old domain and post some random crap, and it'll get posted as the truth on Slashdot?
Of course "time travel" is possible. Of course in one's own frame, their time will always be the "present". But, other people have different frames, and if you move relative to them, your "present" won't match up with theirs. So, if you leave the Earth at a high speed, turn around, and come back, you'll be in the Earth's future, but it will still be your present.
Thanks for the bullshit links, though, I'll be sure not to read them.
The Bush article isn't blocked from all editing, just that by anonymous and new users, due to the rampant anonymous vandalism and people with too much time on their hands who create dozens of accounts just to vandalize that article. For anonymous newbies, the Bush article is equivalent to Wikipedia's "Sandbox" for test editing.
"The courses at my uni appear to distinguish between vanilla Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory."
I wouldn't put it past my school's administration to not bother to make that distinction.

TI-99+. I had several source codes that could be manually typed in to create various games or programs, but I mostly just played Q-Bert.
Move along.
Does l337 speak count as a language?
"Remember Beanie Babies? People were desperate to get them yet they were nothing more than a small stuffed animal and effectively worthless."
Everything is worthless unless people want it.
You're making no sense at all...
"Actually, you'll be in both the earths present and your own present."
Well, yeah, that's what I meant. I just worded it poorly.
"Speed of light is relative to the object that gives the light."
No, the speed of light in a vacuum, "c", is absolute, regardless of how fast anyone is moving with respect to another person. You're seriously confusing everything.
"Halo 2 the game that redefined first-person combat and multiplayer action for millions of gamers worldwide, is set to explode onto PCs..."
With Windows, "explode" takes on a whole new meaning...
"How fast would you try for that?"
Try out this applet to see how much time would pass on Earth if you traveled to another star at a certain speed.
Sweet jesus I was joking. I'm a senior B.S. physics major myself, although I've lost some interest in the field.

You don't get British humor either, I see.

Unfortunately, Jack Bauer was outsourced to Japan.
The courses I took were called "quantum mechanics" regardless of whether it was relativistic/non-relativistic.
