There are two things we need to consider here: First: The transmission of information from earth to the moon. This is possible. But that information travels at the speed of light so it's ok. Second: The transmission of information along the dots trajectory. If you move the laser point from one crater to the next, there has been no information transfer from the first crater to the next crater. Since the dot has moved faster than light from the first crater to the second crater, BUT has not transfered information from the first crater to the second, this is ok too.

I, for one, welcome our new NSA rootkits.

Ah, the good ol' woosh-in-the-middle attack!

The rules state nothing about *outbound* links.

Patents should work like trademarks: Use them or lose them. These sneak attacks long after the fact suck.

"Killer Physics: Gyroscopic Effect Tied to All Motorcycle Fatalities!" this is like saying that angry birds is related to LUA. We should instead focus on other products that also use the gyroscopic effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope#Modern_uses "iPhone 4 tied to motorcycle fatalities"

Is this the future of intelligence gathering? Instead of collecting it yourself, dispatch the minions!

So many horrible ac-trolls... Feel for you

4. IDEs and tools

Does it have a wysiwyg gui designer?
Can I hotswap code during debugging?
Refactoring?
Can I get documentation on a function just by hovering my mouse over it?
Are there automated bug finders?

This is why we need an Open Source, distributed search engine.

I expect the invisible hand to invest in the infrastructure necessary to prevent this. It's going to happen any minute now, I'm positive.

Another problem that should be identified is that the people understanding technology are libertarian aspies unwilling to compromise. "No we have to have absolute freedom, we can never give up _anything_. Fuck you we'll move our servers to Sealand nenene try to stop me trololol".

By taking this immature all-or-nothing stance, we are rapidly approaching the latter.

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm all for EFF et al's campaigning. It is just that we, as a group have way to few vocal moderates.

That might depend on your reference frame
