Don't know whether this got posted, so i'm repeating it.

A Stephen Hawking quote from page 14 of The quantum physics of chronology protection:



I think all potential time-travelers are turned in zebras, but someone from the year 2100 said that was nonsense. I don't argue with zebras, what do you think?

Living Room / Online Communities map

XKCD has a new Online Communities map for 2010. They also have a 3072 x 3571 (4.73 MB as high-quality .jpg) map. Check it and the Wired article also. I presume that if I misspelled it "cummunities", I would get comments from the dirty-minded.

Yes, but dead relatives would probably have weird conversation and ideas.

...you got the urge to bite people's necks then.

...you know that one of the people invited to a party then was the main course(popular with ghouls, though).

...that was when all your dead relatives came to visit.

...you got spam from Hell then(with virus attachments, of course).

They look wicked cool - what's the link? I might get one even though I'm skeptic wrt. the whole scheme :-)

If they are selling the coins, they should take Bitcoins to pay for them unless they are hypocrites.

Does the article with the screenshot below belong here or in a seperate thread? There is another different article here. Both are also attached. The text excerpts are from these files.



In September 1905, the Surete Nationale exhibited a painting series with its former heads. However, the first
painting of the series showed Pierre Allard, Vidocq's successor. The newspaper L'Exclusive reported on 17
September 1905 that on obtaining information concerning the omission, they had gotten the answer that Vidocq
never had been head of the Surete.

While his written works received applause in his native France, it was actually Great
Britain that craved them. In the United Kingdom, law enforcement officers were greatly
respected, unlike French gendarmes of the time who were oft viewed as puppet figures of
a conniving monarchy.

Perhaps you don't want to be tracked for how much technology you buy - computers, HDDs, cards, memory? Out of cash and out of pron?

It's all in a rampant history of domination. Not everyone is nice. You choose one master or another.  They're not always the same, that's change and politics. So get back in the dirt where you belong, peasant!

This is a serious article by a NASA physicist about the actual possibility of making a warp drive. He is also doing a lab test of the theory. Don't try this at home!  Trekies and true nerds should be the ones most interested in it.  Don't wear a red shirt while reading the article. No screenshots, nerds don't need no screenshots!

For all you people jealous of Superman's powers I offer up his secrets exposed. Just don't try this at home. I would provide some pictures, but though the ideas are first-class, the pictures are art-school-dropout grade.
