If in 2) by "son" you mean, well, perhaps not biological species per se, but beings which undoubtedly are descendants of humanity...then (very) perhaps. Otherwise - I'm afraid you shouldn't count on it. We haven't really seen anything which might be an indication of FTL anywhere in the Universe, apart from inflation period, in a way (but if you are a being which can & wants to use that, I'm not sure we can notice any traces of humanity in you anymore). Our view of the world seems essentially correct, even if there are still some holes (similar to how Earth is not really a slightly flattened sphere or pear; but it's pretty damn close). Too many fundamental things in our Universe are related in one way or another to the speed of light; it almost looks that, no matter what value it would have, it would be of similar magnitude to other constants and hence essentially the same in practise...
Now consider that we haven't really used advances in physics even from around a century ago as a means of propulsion of spacecraft.

Or it was one of the compromises, hidden...remember, some countries participating in the creation of GSM wanted it be more safe, some wanted less safety.
Anyway, at least one part of what TFS says is obviously bullshit - my network doesn't even know my name (prepaid in a place where registration is not required...so nobody does it; not because of some paranoia but because it's the most straightforward thing to (not) do)

If your free speech depends on anonymity, you a) don't really have much free speech to speak of b) "free speech" laws are redundant, because they are not what gives you free speech, anonymity does (which has different scope of protection anyway...plus gives also means for impersonation, identity theft, etc.)

How To Grow a Head

· Score: 2, Funny
I don't know, I can't really tell whether that was a banker or a flatworm (again, deepest apologies in the latter case)
Sometimes less is more. In this case zero might be better than one...when growing a replacemement body for you (even better if there's a head but also free space for your brain ready). Assuming you have artificial uterus and transplant tech.
Though I imagine keeping the replacement body healthy while it matures will be quite a challenge, too.
Reminds me of one serverless IM (finds IP of friends via DHT; apparently also has "push message to all friends" functionality, close enough to some social services) I have to check some time. And two apparently related projects: http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/ http://tstone.sourceforge.net/ - and this one apparently strives to be serverless VoIP cooperating with one of the above
They seem to be largely usable. Are they actually in much use? Have you even heard about them? Yeah, exactly...
+ exposures lasting a long time, to capture the minute amounts of photons. Eye would often see...well...mostly black.
Can't wait for the full scope of results from Herschel, Kepler and upcoming JWST. Just too bad the "second Hubble" wasn't built from spares and sent using expendable booster, it probably wouldn't add that much to what Hubble has already cost (especially considering servicing missions)
Cows eating grass, outside...where have you seen that? O_o
In seriousness, that's not a showstopper; especially if reduced availability of meat would, for many people, actually increase their health (I don't advocate not eating meat, I do it myself; but too many people consume ridiculous amounts of it these days, having fallen in the trap of one old adaptation - "if there's some meat around, eat it!")
As a guess, because it's the most ridiculous contribution (nonetheless contributing to the feedback, most notably with arctic wetlands), the easiest to deal with...yet we still fail to do it. And that's with all the abundance of other tasty animals out there.
DAT was a de facto standard (not in consumer market of course) for quite some time; not a failure, it has simply become obsolete recently...oh well, time flies. Also, Hi8 (and Video8) were at least as popular (and from what I remember at my place...more popular), in home compact cams, as VHS-C.
Unfortunatelly (as usual) the availability of such ultra-affordable USB pendrives is only the case in places...where there is also the least need for them.

That would be paranoia for you right there... And not something simply under "name" position in mobile carrier profile.
BTW, as is typical you missed the most straightforward method...tracing web of contacts. A phone is usually used to communicate with people, you know.

Just amusing; I still like BBC probably most out of all mass media.

Oh c'mon, it's not like we have any second thoughts about actually probing the cows (and measuring how much methane they emit)
...and who haven't figured out they can cover their necks?

Requiring social responsibility does not alone make something a violation of free speech, too.
You use Opera and set viewing stylein site preferences, not globally.

That would probably fall under some variant of judical immunity...

At least "Beeb" is always available, I guess...

Yes - on Earth. If any guests want it from our system, there are much better places; where the origin is not biological.

Of course I was.
