Teleportation is a good point. How could we possibly get a spaceship that close to a pulsar? Maybe our spaceship is made out of diamonds to begin with?

Hmm... It would be an ideal place for a planetary computer. You have a diamond, or maybe "metalic carbon" substrate for a planet the size of jupiter.
Then you have a pulsar clock, and powersource.

Perhaps that's really what we are looking at?

That's correct. Asteroids have trillions of dollars worth of minable minerals. After being hollowed out, they make reasonably good habitats as they can hold oxygen inside.

So we could turn asteroids into mines, factories, and even houses.

I think the conservatives would, but just barely. It would be a phyrric victory. We need one another to balance out our respective weaknesses, which is why both strains evolved together in the first place.

We wouldn't have more than one election if the person with the most extreme views won every time.

The author of the study is comparing apples and oranges. It isn't comparable between 4 of 6 Gb per second to the 28.8 baud modems that used to cost $20 a month (about the same as $40 -$50 a month today given inflation!)

Don't tell me that capitalism has failed, when the author has failed to make a point at all. This is Marxist B.S., meant to encourage government ownership of broadband connections so they can spy on us and charge us through the roof.

If you work in manufacturing, do your country a favor and leave your union. If only everyone would do that, we could restart US manufacturing again.

IT is not unionized, and I hope it will never be.

The lie underneath all of this is that China is claiming that Google will be denying website access to all Chinese in the People's Republic of China.

Last I checked, Google was available to anyone. If China doesn't let its people use Google, that's their decision.

If Google.cn "closes", it won't close, it will just be Google being blocked by China. Google doesn't need to pretend that they left, they will simply watch and report to the people of China that China no longer allows them to Google.

Google, last I checked, was available to all.
