What I don't understand in almost all the refutals is that the measured speed of the photons is just ignored. I mean, IANAP, but if I measure the speed of two cars or two athletes racing, and use an incorrect way of computing the speeds, no matter what, if one of them is faster, my recorded times will show it.

If there was a blatant error of calculation, why would they see the photons behave normally ?

Well, then I guess it's a fscking chance for us all that the SRI or Xerox did not sue Apple to death to enforce the licensing of the concept of a mouse-driven windowed OS...

I can't believe I lost some precious minutes of my time to read this POS.
The shuttles should and will belong to museums, just like Buran, the russian one, to show present-day and future generations the advancements of technology and the scientific achievements of mankind.
And certainly *not* being "desacralized" by being used as a restaurant or an attraction.

First, Ariane is not French-only, it is European.

Secondly, the Ariane rocket family is one of the most successful commercial launchers in history (Guiness), and Ariane 5 blew up only three times for 58 launches, most notably for its first flight.
Arianespace is the leader of commercial launches with 60 % of the market (french link).

It was André Truong.

Is it just me or was the obvious choice to use the CLR as the commeon ground for every development Windows-related ?
Just as Dalvik is used for Android, the CLR could have been integrated to every Windows, be it Intel or Arm-based. That way, developers could have coded once (in .NET) and deployed on Windows 7, Windows 8-Arm, Windows Phone, etc.

Obligatory reference : Space 1999. Greatest show ever.

Hmmm... I beg to differ.

I'd like to be shown how to use an IDE on a Chrome netbook. And don't mention online editors, please.

Until then, I'll keep Windows and Linux.

... 625 pixels should be enough for everyone !

What about fire hazard ?

Considering I've seen in my long life a couple motherboards spitting sparks and smoking...

There's nothing like redundant disks. I lost so much data with low cost CDs and DVDs that I'll never use solid storage again until cheap SSDs are commonplace. The data I want to preserve at all costs is copied 4 or 5 times on differents drives. Now if only these drives were not all in the same place, that would be better.

I live in a basement, you insensitive clod !

IANAP, INEAS (I'm not even a scientist),

but I'm interested in astrophysics and never really found a clear explanation for a dummy like me :

This seems to imply that the universe is expanding much quicker than the speed of light, or at least did so during a period before now. How is that even possible ? And does this mean that the speed of light is correlated with this expansion speed, and can vary over time ?

Don't mock me, and thanks if you clarify this.
