Any use of the word "instantly" is, quite simply, hype. It's instantaneous like an "instant message" is instantaneous. Not that this isn't a cool discovery; it is. But it's not teleportation and it's not instant communication.
According to Bell's Theorem, separated particles can be correlated such that observing one will affect the state of the other, disproving locality. However, the no-communication theorem states that this cannot actually be used to communicate.
The idea of instant communication is quite fascinating, but it doesn't really apply to this study. The communication they showed is not truly instantaneous, as it relies on the transport of photons from one atom to another (read the abstract, which says as much).
Quantum teleportation is the faithful transfer of quantum states between systems, relying on the prior establishment of entanglement and using only classical communication during the transmission. We report teleportation of quantum information between atomic quantum memories separated by about 1 meter. A quantum bit stored in a single trapped ytterbium ion (Yb+) is teleported to a second Yb+ atom with an average fidelity of 90% over a replete set of states. The teleportation protocol is based on the heralded entanglement of the atoms through interference and detection of photons emitted from each atom and guided through optical fibers. This scheme may be used for scalable quantum computation and quantum communication.
So yes, this is not true "teleportation". It relies on light actually moving from one atom to another through optical fibers.
You think passing a budget and telling the President "spend this however you want" is much better than specifically allocating the funds to projects in Congress? The earmarks debate is rather a red herring (which is why there even is any debate on the subject in Congress). Yes, the projects are wrong and it is unconstitutional for Congress to fund them, but the money is budgeted for government use already. Of course he votes against them. They're unconstitutional and wrong. But he also understands the far more fundamental issues such as how government gets the funds in the first place.
It's not "provided by people who don't mind stealing software". It's provided by people with variable motivations, but some of whom provide it as an honest way to benefit others. None of them steal software, whatever their intentions may be.
The conservatives you mention. By your definition they haven't had anyone to vote for in the last 100 years or so.
Seriously, if you're a conservative of that stripe...who do you vote for?
Ron Paul. But your point is well made that we need more like-minded candidates to run for office.
And another thing. Conservatives such as the people you describe need to *SPEAK UP* and get represented. Although I usually vote Democrat, I would happily consider people of that mind set. Anything that marginalizes the neocons is good, IMHO.
All I can say is pay attention, study, observe. Opportunities may arise for you to do so. Educate yourself on issues of liberty, (Austrian) economics, history, the state, ethics, money, natural law, etc. while at the same time keeping up with the latest important news. The number of us who are realizing that our struggle is not left vs. right or Republican vs. Democrat, but people vs. the state are increasing. We know that we need not choose to be anti-liberty statists on one position in order to oppose the state on another position, and that the government is not a tool to use against those with whom we disagree socially, religiously, or academically, as many are wont to do.
I've thought about the reverse. It would be nice to isolate all you statists and keep most of the world for those of us non-criminals. Of course a free market is unlikely; there's too much profit in theft and murder for those in government to give up without doing everything they can. There would be a chance, though, if ignorant people like you could somehow get some sense knocked into you and realize that government is immoral and does not benefit you.
But do you want a government who will make sure there's a hospital to fix your broken skull? And a government who will make sure there's quick transportation and trained EMTs?
No, of course not. But that's because, unlike you, I haven't fallen for that fallacy that everything worth having should be provided by the government.
That may be, but a more apt reason would be because today was the day of the inauguration of the President of the United States, the office which Ron Paul should have been elected to. But you should already know that.
This isn't specific to the embryonic stem cell issue, of course. It's the nature of science. Science can't "show us" that anything is a good thing to do. For example, it's not science that tells us that murdering 2-year-olds is not a good thing to do. Science could show us that those 2-year-olds' organs could be harvested and used to save someone else's life, though.
But FDR provoked the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor (by sending ships to blockade Japanese access to China, among other things), so wouldn't you still say that FDR took us out of the Depression?
(Factual footnote: Neither the New Deal nor the war ended the Depression [it was the end (well, decrease) of massive government spending after the war, which did it].)
The amendment doesn't give the President the power to act as President before he takes the oath or affirmation. "Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation" still applies. While he is President at noon, he can't execute his office (i.e. do anything as President) until he takes the oath or affirmation.
Might the President have "more pressing things to do"? It doesn't matter. Taking 5 seconds to take an oath or affirmation will in no way interfere with anything else he has to do. Nor does he need to "drop everything" to do so. Indeed, a President who proceeded with an elaborate inaugural ceremony during a military emergency, rather than quickly taking the oath/affirmation and dealing with the situation, should be immediately impeached.
"Before he enter on the Execution of his Office" -- i.e., he is technically President at noon, but he may not actually do anything as President ("enter on the Execution of his Office") until he takes the oath or affirmation.
Nice, +1 Funny is no +karma, but -1 Overrated to correct the +1 Funny is -karma... I didn't think my post was funny either, but -1 mods which subtract "Funny" shouldn't also be -karma. Oh, well.
Can you even read? I said that harm is done by forcing other people to consider the relationship legitimate, not when the relationship is considered legitimate.
Basically what it comes down to is the question what harm is done when two homosexual people want to do the same heterosexual people do: Declare that they want to commit to a single partner they love.
They have the right to do that. What they don't have the right to do is to force others to 1.) recognize their relationship as legitimate and 2.) call it a marriage. Harm is done when they do so.

Yes, it's that time. Time to wake up.
ah hah, I see, like botulinum toxin and other toxic medicines. Yes that makes sense now. thanks!

but now they've managed to embed Windows inside a Mac program? Amazing.
Scanning data with computers in order to determine whether to have a human being look at it still qualifies as "spying".

Unfortunately, he did not reaffirm the separation of science and state.
Obama then repeated Roberts' original, incorrect version: "... the office of president of the United States faithfully."
In other words, even after pausing (maybe noticing something was wrong), he said the wrong words.
Wow, I just wish Obama would read the rest of the Constitution.

Er, you mean how FDR prolonged the Great Depression?

It's ironic that you mention Bible teachings being twisted to support slavery, as that is exactly what you are doing, but you seem not to realize it.
