Not to mention the real problem lies with the RAM. We really need to get MRAM on the way to enable faster reboot and faster transfer of information through the motherboard. Sure increasing HDD efficiency will help run a system faster but as far as productivity RAM needs some serious advances.
Well, I think Apple made a mistake by releasing the iPhone. Not to say that it isn't a nice gadget, but the fact that they think they have complete control over the handheld. If Apple continues to play "cat and mouse", they will be heading down a slippery slope.
I think the problem here is that the speed of light is relative to the medium it travels through. It is very possible that in the experiment stated that they produced an effect that allows photons to travel faster than the speed of light in a medium other than a vacuum. The fact that they used two prisms and microwave radiation as a medium proves only that they exceeded the speed of light in a medium of prisms and microwave radiation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is not possible to exceed the speed of light in a vacuum. That is precisely what the limiting factor in Einstein's equation, E=mc^2 expresses. If something were to exceed the speed of light in a vacuum, then it would become infinitely massive and infinitesimally small, thus creating a black hole....
The rest is quantum physics, which is so full of theories I don't care to explain, or know for that matter.

Not to mention all the wonderful space explosions from Star Wars. Some of the movie physics is certainly fictional and meant to stimulate imagination, but examples explained previously are just a vacuum to the realm of physics. Some of those scenes are hard to enjoy when you know they are physically impossible, even if I try to imagine it.
I think someone was pretty stupid to let Gary McKinnon remotely control their computer, or it was allowed for some reason.
Anyway this is not the kind of guy you want to put away, if anything hire him. Obviously he shows how vulnerable our security is, it might be good to take a hint.
Wait, I have a better title!
If You Support Copyright Then You Can't Support Microsoft OS.
Maybe if people understood that copyrighting is not just "controlling" ideas
it's also about patents "trolling" ideas. Copyright was a great idea initially,
but when money grubbers got their hands stuck in patents it destroyed the
creative process completely. Here is an interesting figure,
ONLY ABOUT 5%
of patents end up having any real commercial value http://www.motherjones.com/news/exhibit/2006/03/in tellectual_property.html.
I may not have specified entirely what I meant. They are their best customers in the sense that they are the ones buying music.
I buy music and videos, but I also download them. This is what most people fail to realize. I'm less likely to buy things now because of the inhumanity of the RIAA and MPAA. Now especially with DRM embedded in media players, such as iTunes, it makes me a little cautious what they are putting in your music. You and I are both familiar with Sony's rootkit. The biggest thing that digital technology faces is malicious code, DRM software is an example. Goodbye analog here comes digital, with encryption technology. If the RIAA had a clue about anything there would be happier people. The RIAA and MPAA have only made the legal battle against internet piracy more intense and given rise to more who are opposed. Piracy is an internet freedom, if you take that away people aren't going to be happy. The motto is, "Sharing is caring".
One day a RIAA employee asks his manager,
"Who is the most vulnerable and liable for pirating software, music, etc?"
The manager replies, "Well...college students of course."
And they both have a good laugh.
Truth be told it's not funny, it's real. Here is where the RIAA have separated themselves from the norm of all those who are strongly opposed to the idea of Internet freedoms, most prevalently piracy. However this is the worst mistake the RIAA has made, the reason is that college students are their number one customer. The greed and capitalist values have consumed the RIAA past any rational thought process. Essentially the RIAA has cut off the hand that feeds them. The sad part is that college students are at the mercy of it all. They can't afford a lawyer let alone pay their rent. I think we fail to recognize who really are the pirates.
Unfortunately in Jesus' case he was killed by devote believers who didn't believe him, even though his teachings of love and forgiveness were something worth striving for. Then those who followed him made their opinions heard and a few hundreds years later it was sold to church as Christianity and that he gave his life us. Supposedly he will one day return and save us all. Get real people, don't expect to be saved and act helpless, help yourselves and above all help others. You don't need religion or church, its all in you. You alone have the willing and power to determine what you will become and do.
Besides if you apply reason to religion it falls apart (i.e. because its fiction).

Ok so four decades, my point is that there are going to be more people so every process you take into account now will exponentially increase (ie Global Warming). The population will not level off until we have a serious crisis. Most likely form there the population will drop, especially do to high sea levels. So at the same time the land mass of the Earth will significantly decrease making population control all the more necessary. The main point again is there is a threshold at which the tides turn. Most likely the new Ice age will do its job of controlling the population, or all of the people. Its hard to say exactly, but statistically speaking its all rough estimates. I just like to keep in mind that about 250,000 people are born each day. Thanks for continuing this discussion.
I do agree in your picture of balance, however the environment is not infinite, its resources are limited. Greenhouse SKEPTICS are those who exploit the Earth and believe that there is an unlimited amount of resources that the Earth has and it's there for the taking. The Earth is not some large sandbox where we can play wily nilly it's organic, it's alive. The is a delicate balance and it was upset a long time ago, probably at the dawn of men. As I type thousands of acres of the Amazon are being deforested for farming. There is a limit to it all and as the human population doubles within the next couple decades then it becomes even harder. The failing of the capitalist POV is that the money is not going to always come in. In order to retain some sort of balance we have to return what we have taken from the Earth. The purpose of Earth cycles are merely a cleansing process. First fire then ice, and a new age will dawn. If we live past that then maybe we can rethink what we did and start on the right foot.
I see exactly why people get upset over lawyering (i.e. anybody who has a lot of money can get away with anything), for example OJ Simpson. In regards to consciousness, too many humans look at themselves and assume that the brain puts us on the top of the food chain. However, if you really think about it, or rather don't think at all, the brain is a very undeveloped organ and at a baby stage in its evolution. As Socrates put, "There is one thing I know, and that is I know nothing."
In this day in age there is no "fair" trials, there are trials that are bought and paid for by large corporations and lobbyist groups. That's how certain individual get into the White house with obviously less than a brain.
The Earth goes through natural cycles of temperature changes, but to this day--never in 400,000 years (check Jim Hansen) have CO2 levels been as high as they are--.
I agree that censorship is controlling point of view, but in this case it's controlling the minority of POV in the US. I look at this as a hopeful thing. I am not saying censorship is good because it is not. What I was trying to say is that people aren't going to believe Global Warming is really happening until millions more people die from rising sea levels and several cities are under sea level. So what if Global Warming isn't all it's hyped up to be? Anything that raises our level of naturalistic consciousness the better off we are. If you are familiar with the research and battles that James Hansen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hansen has done, then it gives you a very different perspective of things. Again I just thought it was an interesting headline. No one has seen this from the other side. BTW Jim Hansen was also censored.
I understand very well that it gets muddled. Here is a quote from Jim Hansen,
"Some 'greenhouse skeptics' subvert the scientific process, ceasing to act as objective scientists, rather presenting only one side, as if they were lawyers hired to defend a particular viewpoint. But some of the topics focused on by the skeptics are recognized as legitimate research questions, and also it is fair to say that the injection of environmental, political and religious perspectives in midstream of the science research has occurred from both sides in the global warming debate."
I think no one really understands that this is not so much a battle over censorship as it is point of view. Right now there is such a strong lobby against those who accredit global warming, especially by big oil corp. It is a good thing that we are seeing it turn the other way. If you don't accept the fact that we have an enormous effect on this planet you have much to learn. So don't criticize the idea, revolutionize. This shows the tides are turn and skeptics are dying out(i.e. their funding is running thin). The more conscious of the earth's natural cycles we become the less depredation we cause. Global warming is nature's way of cleansing the planet of its filth.
