even well-populated areas of the US still have limited, unreliable, and gimmick-heavy choices. I'm one.

a machine should never be given the freedom to replicate itself unless it also has the capacity to improve itself.
I'd love to reform taxes but you want to retain your ability to grant credits to green companies
the time cube was right, partially right, partially wrong, and wrong all at once, simultaneously, in four, 24-hour quadrants of rightness.

What is the sound of one hand clapping?
Massless particles travel at c in their local frame of reference, always. Having mass in the way just makes the path it takes longer. The researchers who "stopped" light trapped it inside a crystal, while it was "stopped" the energy existed as excited atoms inside the crystal.
From an outside perspective light can appear to be propagating very slowly, but from the perspective of the photon it is always traveling at the same speed. In this vein though, I wonder if it's correct to say that light propagates instantly and we only observe a time dimension because we are traveling through time.
hm, they should make a movie about that
At least you didn't write "Serves me right for reading coffee before drinking my morning Slashdot."

some of them crash and burn
Using fuel for hydraulics is standard practice for rocket and jet engines. It is really a given. Using a pressurized total loss hydraulic system is... totally normal design.
fixed that for you
this sort of assholery is why I don't bother with slashdot.
It is, in general, a very negative experience. Good riddance, right? ok. whatever.
