"Also, maybe we can also "observe" the stuff outside our bubble via the effects of "spooky action at a distance"?"
Well, then when we 'observe' this stuff, WE will have on our conscience whether the cat is dead or alive. But we still may never find out which one; which bubble^Wbox was/is in?:-)
All joking aside, this is very interesting data to work with. I can imagine a lot of theories to change/be scrapped/ be rewritten here in the near future.
I am really excited about this! (but somewhat befuddled-[I am not a physicist, much less an astrophysicist!]Astrophysics is a serious hobby for me) I hope some good info comes with further research. That should open new 'doorways' and expand our understanding.
I don't think I can imagine all of the ramifications of this, but it strikes me as: 'Holy Cow, Batman...that cow lit her fart and flew over the moon!!!'
No doubt, this is the most exciting thing to happen with astrophysics (for me) in the past several years. The questions are ENDLESS!!!!!
Who knows 'what doors will open' for us, and the potential to find out what possible uses could arise from this.
P.S. I wish I knew enough to actually correctly answer your questions, but this news seems to sprout far more questions than can be accurately answered at this time.
Okay, let me get this straight.... IP is recognized by the USA as being valid, as is exploitation of said IP. This also trickles down to the state level, then to the county level, to the city/town level.
How can the city of Chicago have a leg to stand on here, being late off of the mark ?
He seemed to have 'innovated within the framework to synergize the relationship between ideas and IP and leverage the database outcome available to him at the time.' (did I type that with a straight face??!!??...Uhmm...NO!, I probably left out some marketdroidspeak out of sheer ignorance of said lexicon-thank goodness!)
He has done nothing different than a lot of companies/corporations have done (and got away with), except he has pissed off^Wimpeded a local gov't.
He will have DHS invade his local Toys-R-Us to clear the shelves for National Security, get waterboarded at Gitmo, and get put on the No Fly List to be body cavity searched. Oh, and get audited by the IRS.
Bitter? Yes I am, and disgruntled, also. This next election looks like a choice between a Turd Sandwich or a Site Casserole.
Barr? Well he seems to be 'one taco shy of a fiesta', IMHO. I think I will write in my vote for JFK or Tricky Dick Nixon...How much further harm can dead men do?
Well, I can understand the phrase:"Or maybe keep the constitution..." but after that?? WTF??
I wonder if he will share whatever he's smoking/drinking? It must be good stuff, whatever it is!
Look at the bright side- if you have one of those days where communication with people seem convoluted and arduous, you can depend on/. to straighten things out and make all things clear!
I have been guilty of making comments derisive of Windows regarding malware and security faults; typically in the stereotypical '*nix zealot, foaming at the mouth' fashion. But...
To be honest, I learned how to secure a home network while using Win 98 SE (well, as good as can be expected for Win 98).
I then went along with the XP Pro Upgrade on my PC, was then given an older Dell with XP Pro already there, and had good results applying what I had learned with Win 98 with a few twists.
Since network and individual PC security and keeping malware free machines where important to me, I made it a point to keep up to date with Windows Updates and anti-malware software. I rarely had any problems with any 'infections'. Sometimes a friend of my wife's would come over and her daughter would go to her Myspace page and would click on any thing that moved...or didn't.
More research...Hmmm... default admin rights for users? Ah Hah! Fixed that quick. *note: self taught by way of 'I WILL figure this stuff out!! mind-set. Heck, it took me until I was 16 years old to figure out what my maternal grandfather was always asking me: 'You know how curiosity killed the cat, don't you/' I spent too much time on the different possibilities, that I never looked at the whole 'moral of the story is...'*
My own experience tells me that is about mindset and best practices more than anything else, but I do have fewer worries with Kubuntu than with Windows. I also had very few issues with malware on XP after a short time(I was still learning), eventually no issues.
I'm actually considering making an XP partition when Fallout 3 comes out- after it has been out a month or so.

Apparently, I have pissed off the Mod's from both major parties. So be it.
Don't like what you hear this time around?...Don't blame me....as far as the turd sandwich or shit casserole, I will search for alternates.
All I will say is this:
THINK and RESEARCH before you vote...it is VITAL! Fsck the partisan modder's. Think for yourselves as individuals, if you are interested in personal freedom.
*disclaimer* I don't consider myself a 'hippie' (original definition, nor HP fanboy), but I do run Linux (Kubuntu/Ubuntu 5.04 to 8.04...presently- waiting for 9.04!)

I have had this 'lie-nix/linn-ux debate with people before.
I had always assumed (yes-maybe short sighted!) that it would be 'Lie-nix' as it was written by Linus (lie-ness/nus) T., and not Linus (linn-ness/nus) T., based on Unix. So I'm kind of perplexed where the 'Linn' pronunciation came from unless that is the customary Scandinavian pronunciation. (?)
"Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux as Linux!"
Also in Sun AU format (40kB) / MP3 format (82kB) / OGG format (86kB).)
It seems the Finnish pronounce it as 'Linn-ux' where USA pronunciation has it pegged as 'Lie-nix/nexx' To take the whole 'accent thing' (Finnish speaker speaking in English) that either should be correct.
*disclaimer* I disagree (see above paragraph) with the website's author that: "This was recorded by Linus himself and should therefore be considered the canonical pronunciation to learn from. It can be said to be spoken right and correctly.", as this statement does not take into account non-native English speakers and any accent they may display due to their native language.
I would enjoy/benefit from discourse here, please and thank you. (not just parent poster)

ARGHHH! Pirates would care a lot about tackling a ship set up to Bristol Standards (or in Bristol Shape-don't know the correct term...can some Limey Navy buff help me out here?)
Bristol Standards/Shape meant that the ship was set up correctly, top of the line, all shipshape-ready to kick ass.
At one time, it meant your ship was 'Ready For Freddy...Bring it on!'
I think I learned this on Star Trek NG when Picard was explaining it to Riker on a holodeck excursion!
Correct me if I'm wrong (HaHa! Can't castrate me, I'm already a UNIX!), I would welcome the input.
P.S. This thread has veered so far from the topic I feel no guilt about muddying the waters further.
First, thanks for the comments (this one and above). If I had mod points, I would have given you +1 insightful. After all, how much more insightful is good information from someone directly affected by something we are discussing? Quite a bit more insightful is the answer!
Now to the reason for my reply. When I was stationed in Germany for the US Army (I live in Oklahoma, USA), I always appreciated corrections to my spoken German language attempts. Most of the time the encounter would turn into a mutual learning session for both of us...the German I talked to would help me with my German skills, and wanted (and received) my help with his English skills. It was a great learning experience for me.
That is the intention of my reply. I have edited your post below for corrections in English grammar. If this has no interest for you, then disregard the rest of the post.
