You're probably thinking of neutrinos, but they do not travel faster than the speed of light. In fact, if it as is believed and their mass is non-zero, they travel slower than the speed of light.
The only faster-than-light particle I am aware of is the tachyon, but its existence is purely hypothetical at this point.
Whether or not you wish it, if you are an American citizen, then these people live in the same country as you; hence, they are your countrymen and wish you no particular ill. Your open hatred and contempt for them does not excuse your wishing for their murder, which is a disgusting and contemptible thing for any human being to do.
If we didn't have national debt, we could institute universal healthcare, or form an real international peacekeeping military force, or severely cut the federal tax rate, or buy everyone guns and suv's, or plant a smiley face pattern of trees in each state, or buy everyone a litter of kittens, or whatever.
Or not collect the taxes in the first place. Frankly, it's people like you that have got us where we are. Every time revenues come close to expenses, your first thought is not that too much has been collected, but all the other damn-fool things to SPEND it on. Then, when revenues decrease (for whatever reason), you can't bear to draw back the spending.
One more thing: your last statement, effectively wishing for the murders of thousands of innocent workers and what I assume are your contrymen, is disgusting.
I don't think this argument follows. Simply because something is a legal construction does not make it a subsidiary of the state. While rights are conferred, no powers of state are delegated to corporations (with the odious exception of state-granted monopolies), so I don't really see how they are coercive to consumers, any more than my having property is "coercive" to you because I may restrict your use of it.
It seems to me that the article is making a distinction between sport-light and ultralight. As far as I knew, you never needed any kind of license at all for an ultralight. Are sport-light planes in a class heavier than ultralight?
Oh my god, yes. My sister and I *accidentally* bought two originals (with the removable cord) at a second-hand computer parts store, and have absolutely fallen in love with this "battleship board." Its precision alone increased my typing speed by at least 10 wpm. Now, typing on anything else feels like absolute crap. And, barring misfortune, I expect that keyboard to last as long as I do.
What I *really* want to see is something that you calibrate: i.e. Think "left," and the pattern is recognized, likewise for think "right." Then you can control an actual game of Pong or Arkanoid with your mind. That would impress me.
I think the most effective combination would use your eyes as tracking devices and your mind as a "trigger." Your eyes would be natural to use as analog devices, for a game like, let's say, pong, where you want rapid feedback and analog control. It would also be a natural way to control the focus on a computer screen - simply have it track what you are looking directly at. Then, using discrete thought commands, you could "think" more concrete actions, like "click," "open," or "shoot."

Besides Orbit's Pieces in a Modern Style, can you give me any suggestions?
The book is not a satire. It explores the ideas about what is necessary for a society to survive. It offers for consideration the idea that an unlimited franchise is ultimately destructive to a society.
The movie just waves its hands over any serious thought about these concepts, and instead just tries to make fun of people who think about such things.
Did I miss something? Is there some evidence that AIDS is more lethal to certain races? Is there some kind of racial aspect to risky sex and unsanitary medical practices?
At least I hope this allows Bobby to officially confront the charge and clear himself.
How do you think he can "clear himself"? Is he going to deny he violated U.S. law? is he going to argue that he was under duress, or playing chess in self-defense?

Well, how very interesting, because I'm now made entirely of tin.
I love biased news source. So here I'm. :)
Just like that damn biased Slashdot.org!

No, I think the word you want is occluded.

I'm curious, would you include the legal construction of private property in that category?
Gah, you're right, I'm sorry. Posted after drinking too much coffee. Read the word "universal healthcare" and started choking on my cigar.

Roger Ebert gives it a measly two stars and, for the ./ crowd, bashes MS Word at the end of the review.

He broke U.S. law in addition to UN "law," therefore he can be tried in U.S. courts.
How do you think he can "clear himself"? Is he going to deny he violated U.S. law? is he going to argue that he was under duress, or playing chess in self-defense?
Are you trying to be funny, or are you serious?
