You just don't get it. Until Arnold Schwarzenegger comes back to acting, we NEED this technology.

Plus, I heard a rumor that once they get all of Cameron Diaz's moves, they'll throw her out of acting altogether and use the computer version for pennies on the dollar! PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR!

I'd like to hear more about this theory. I've heard of a land, in a far off world, where this may be true.. but I'm just so skeptical.

It does prompt you when you first install, asks if it can send anon usage stats. You can decline.

I used to run a site that integrated multiple different theme servers and a central ebay-like store where you could buy/sell materials gained in each server. Gold was the standard of currency. It was a lot of fun. I ran out of money, so the site remains but the servers are offline. Check it out, maybe I'll revive it: http://www.mineverse.com/

He did use infinimer as a muse, but the code he wrote is all 100% from scratch.

So all this time I've been "playing" mafia wars, I've actually been using an interface to do the mafia's real dirty work? oh man..

Google Voice commands allow that format. When I'm on the road, I never type- I click the microphone and say "navigate to mcdonalds" which it then uses gps to determine which mcdonalds i'm looking for. Or "navigate to 22 somwhere st. " Here's the full list: http://www.google.com/mobile/voice-actions/

But for some reason the pattern buffer is going to get confused a lot, and we're going to have a lot of interesting hybrid car/truck accidents. oh, the ensuing hijinks!

i keep trying to explain this! People are corporations now!

I suspect he weighed the options.. the chance that the guy would never get caught apparently seemed more important than the benefit of damage control of reporting it himself. Ultimately, when faced with two options: Continue to ruin the name of the church by reporting it or cross your fingers and maybe nothing will ever come of it.. you can see why he kept it a secret. The last thing the church needed was more of this!

Exactly.. The idea is that, let's say an explosion happens 1 light year away. Just before the explosion, they send a FTL message to earth to warn us about it. We get the message before the event happens in our frame of reference. Thus apparently events happened out of order. But this isn't breaking causality, because there's nothing we can do with this information that would prevent the explosion from taking place. We'd just know about it sooner. It'd still take us 1 year at the speed of light to get out to the site of the explosion to stop it.

tl;dr: FTL does not necessarily break causality.

That's what I keep asking! I think the first thing they'd do is a control experiment with photons!

This is all nonsense if they first measured with a photon, then even measurement discrepancies would be consistent across multiple different tests. Even if they measured photons wrong, they'd measure neutrinos to be the same amount wrong, and therefore still faster than light.

Why don't we just pick out a symbol and let the media decide what they'll call it!

Chuck Norris doesn't need to prepare.
