I doubt this will actually end up changing the pattern in the past (i.e. measuring/detecting a photon after its entangled counterpart has already hit the wall) but near-instantaneous communication would be great. I had this same idea when I read the relevant chapter of Brian Greene's The Fabric of the Cosmos, and was really surprised that no experiments dealing with this have been made before. Seemed common sense to me, and I'm no physicist.
If the general populace finds the results of irregular combat unacceptable (an attack is launched from town A, town A is bombed into rubble)they are more likely to cooperate with those trying to eliminate the irregular combatants.
You'd make a great terrorist. That's exactly the same line of thinking they follow when they blow up marketplaces and mosques of opposing sects.
I'm pretty sure those skinsuits were said to be liquid, not energy. Unless of course they're liquid energy.... Anyway, if you're still talking about FORCE assault rifles and Hawking-Drive starships, I'm guessing you haven't read the two Endymion books. Personally I'd settle for one of the suits and a drop of Aenea's blood, and if I had to choose just one it would definitely be the latter.
What if some artists publish a general license that says "any internet station not associated with RIAA can play songs in this album for free." That gets around the SoundExchange mandatory royalties, right?
Huh? Turnover? What's that about? I thought the issue was about card counting. As soon as a casino realizes that a blackjack player is a card counter, he's going to be banned from playing. Note that card counting is not cheating and is perfectly legal - the casino is merely executing their right to refuse service to anyone they want for any reason that doesn't conflict with non-discrimination laws.
Did you even read the summary? They mentioned using *TWO* Geforce 8800 Ultra graphics cards. From Nvidia's own technical specs, each 8800 Ultra uses up to 175 watts under load.
From the summary: "An ultimate gaming system equipped with a quad-core processor, two NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra, 4 sticks of DDR2 memory, and a few hard drives can easily consume 500W without doing anything!"
To me, "without doing anything" means idle. Where exactly do these 500W go?

Personally, I still believe that the outcomes of all the dice throws are predetermined. We just don't know how.

I'm confused as well. GP was modded Funny, Troll, and Redundant. Am I missing something? Seemed like a serious post to me....

Of course if you happen to be making a home movie of your children while at the same time participating in the promotion, they own the rights to that.
Think how many jobs will be created by the "Lake Michigan Clean-Up Effort" a few years down the road!
Arguably, fear of women is a learned fear similar to PTSD
Just similar? Say that next time your crush dumps you in front of the yearbook committee cameras!
I'm guessing all the unobserved magnitudes are in the hidden dimensions.
But yeah, of course, it's what is in the vending machines that counts.
True, used panties are only fattening if you use them incorrectly.

Huh? I thought that whistle blowers are considered to be leakers?
You don't understand. If these issues were so important, God would tell Bush to do something about them, just like he did with Iraq.
It's you being sexist by not considering non-females as "people."

I wonder if this is how the Solarians started....
I'm sorry, I keep forgetting. Which side was the one that constantly claims anyone who is against their specific policies is with the terrorists?
To be fair, the other side constantly claims that anyone against their specific policies is a Nazi...
Sure, and the conscious part of the brain follows it's own cause-effect. Or where do you think decisions come from?
So what do we do when the robots start demanding emancipated themselves?
These assholes need to be put against a wall and shot.
They'll be the second ones when the revolution comes, right after the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.
Couldn't they have announced yet another design contest with a $100k going to the winner.
That's nothing compared to the wait between the Intellivision and the Dreamcast.
So Exxon Mobil is an OPEC puppet now? Nice of OPEC to let them make and keep $10 billion pure profit every quarter.
Enjoy saying that while you can. Soon enough it will be illegal to talk about free beer.
