    There exists no means to safely accelerate a spacecraft to the speeds required to travel 100,000 ly in 3 minutes subjective time.

    I think you have to go FTL to achieve 100,000 ly in 3 minutes.

    Or did I miss something?

  10. We were there first! on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    MPAA is moving too slow. Here in Finland, the local MPAA/RIAA, Teosto, and the Finnish Central Criminal Police busted a BitTorrent network, Finnreactor early this morning, at the request of Microsoft, BSA and Teosto.

    More interesting are the claims that the police had planted backdoors in the shared files to gather information about the users. IANAL, but apparently this isnt illegal here in Finland.

    True, our ancestors were hunters and even today some people hunt for food. Nothing wrong with that. The question here was about cats (or predators general) hunting for fun and toying with their pray. Animals dont do that. They have pretty good reasons to do the things they do. Like when a cat looks like its toying with its pray, its actually training its hunting skills at the same time. Too bad for the mouse, as its not pretty to look at. If we were to be dependant on hunting our own food, I bet we would need to keep our hunting skills sharp. And how to do that? By practicing, either by hunting more or on inanimate targets. Cats dont always have the pleasure to practice on nonliving targets, but if you toy your cat with strings or your hand, its going to jump for it as its good practice. Now, about morale. It has noting to do with our inbuilt reactions to some genetic propery we dont need anymore. Its about distinguishing between right or wrong. I cant say for sure if cats moralise, but I presume you need some advanced logical thinking capability to do that.

  15. Re:This is interesting... on Internet Hunting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hmmm... Humans have developed morale codes. Cant remember when animals did that. Animals dont separate things as right or wrong and thats the greatest difference. So when cats hunt (in the way they do) its YOU moralising thier NATURAL behavior.

  16. Re:This is interesting... on Internet Hunting · · Score: 1

    Your cat doesnt play or have fun with its pray. Its just the way cats hunt. We have the tendecy to project HUMAN behavior on animals.

    i believe the minimum hardware requirements for gentoo are defined as "any machine capable of compiling the latest release in less time than the stated release period".
