Boyd is already working on ways to see what will happen if he can design a pulse without a leading edge. Einstein says the entire faster-than-light and reverse-light phenomena will disappear. Boyd is eager to put Einstein to the test.
The colloquial "speed of light" is the speed of light in a vacuum. These experiments are causing light & thus information to travel faster than that benchmark.
So, yes - The speed of the information is being affected.
That still isn't irony. At best, it's syncronicity.
SGI stopped being a market power and is collapsing. The C6 needed to be upgraded. Rather than go with a flailing has-been, a different provider was selected.

You seem a mite bit confused. The article isn't saying that the Earth was created by the mentioned supernova. It saying that this discovery might help us figure out how planets come into being; of which the Earth is one.

No problem. It's just that are quite a few who might actually try suing the Ozarka bottled water company because there aren't sufficient warning labels on a water bottle, and many more ignorantly spouting that water in any amount is harmless.

Water intoxication is a problem not only among athletes. For instance, it has become one of the most common causes of serious heat illness in the Grand Canyon. Some people hiking the canyon drink large amounts of water and do not eat enough food to provide for electrolyte (salt, potassium) replacement and energy. Fears of dehydration has led to a mistaken belief that the safe thing to do is to drink as much and as often as possible. But even with drinking water, there can be too much of a good thing.
DesktopBSD is a distribution that is geared towards being a friendly and easyDesktopBSD intro BSD operating system based on FreeBSD. BSD is some might say is a closer relative to Unix than Linux is. BSD is more geared towards servers and workstations but, not DesktopBSD. DesktopBSD is supposed to be aimed towards user friendliness that people might not even find in a user friendly Linux distribution such as Xandros or Linspire, but is quite powerful enough that you can adapt DesktopBSD to your liking.
Installation of DesktopBSD is quite easy with its graphical interface. It gives you the option of what you want to choose when installing, whether you have another operating system installed say, Windows or Linux and you don't want to overwrite it or ruin the way it boots from your computer.

Libertarianism falls into the left wing [...] in some ways and right wing in others.
Or better put, it's completely tangential to both. Left (Liberal) vs. right (Conservative) isn't useful, much less accurate, when talking about the border case Libertarian & Statist philosophies. More appropriate is a 4-point diamond with Libertarian & Statist opposite of each other and perpendicular to Liberal & Conservative; with Centrists in the middle.
Libertarians support a great deal of liberty and freedom of choice in both personal and economic matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect people from coercion and violence. They value individual responsibility, and tolerate economic and social diversity.
Left-Liberals generally embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but support central decision-making in economics. They want the government to help the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for what they might describe as "economic equality."
Right-Conservatives favor freedom of choice on economic issues, but want official standards in personal matters. They tend to support the free market, but frequently want the government to defend the community from what they see as threats to morality or to the traditional family structure.
Centrists favor selective government intervention and emphasize what they commonly describe as "practical solutions" to current problems. They tend to keep an open mind on political issues. Many centrists feel that government serves as a check on excessive liberty.
Statists want government to have a great deal of control over individuals and society. They support centralized planning, and often doubt whether liberty and freedom of choice are practical options. At the very bottom of the chart, left-authoritarians are usually called socialists, while right-authoritarians are generally called fascists.

So you'd be against spending $40 less each month with that being offset by government spending?
Yes. Because where do think that $40 savings came from? It came from a $200 increase in my taxes. All the bureaucratic layers have to take their cut before the broadband company is paid. Then not only would I be paying a higerh rate, but I would be receiving a lower service level; lowest common denominator style.
Would you also to pay tolls for every road that you use?
Yes. I would be paying for the roads that I am using, rather than paying for a bridge to nowhere.
How about paying a tax every time you cross state lines on each good that you purchase?
Sounds acceptable to me. The states were supposed to be semi-autonomous, so import/export tarriffs are a logical consequence.
How about paying into a private militia to protect you and your family from rival factions?
Sounds good to me. I am currently paying for a military action that I do not condone in the slightest.
You like to be in charge of collecting and purifying your own drinking water?
I already do. It's called a well & a whole house filter. There is also the private water co-op for those who don't have an artesian spring on their property. A central government is not neccesary to distribute water any more than one is neccesary to distribute electricity or provide network connectivity.
Passive resistance only works when the overpower has a conscience.
Ghandi's passive resistance against the British only worked because The British Empire only waged "fair" fights. "Fair" doesn't mean matched; 16 pounder guns against spears is "fair". Ghandi's revolt would've have been merely another note of genocide if the 19th century British had no qualms about mercilessly wiping out a non-aggresive & unarmed force.

It is possible to die from drinking too much water.
You Can Drink Too Much Water
Water intoxication is a problem not only among athletes. For instance, it has become one of the most common causes of serious heat illness in the Grand Canyon. Some people hiking the canyon drink large amounts of water and do not eat enough food to provide for electrolyte (salt, potassium) replacement and energy.
