On the 4th, my bro and his fiancee went boating on someone else's boat.  Today, he called and begged for gas money.  :-\

I woke up this morning, and I had only half the feeling in my left arm. I could move it, but it the nerve response was slow, and it felt like I was swinging a fleshy club around.
It still feels a little numb. I'm a little worried, actually.

Goddamnit. Can we just skip to quantum computers with quantum entanglement routers already? The wait is killing me.
So we can download all the pr0n on the Internet before we even know we want it?
We already have computers with petabyte hard drives and gigabyte per second connections. That's enough to download all of Wikipedia, in every language, 1666 times, in two and a half minutes. That's not even made up on my part. I literally did the math, just now.

So, in short, your statement may or may not already be reality.
....
I would kill the president for that kind of hardware. The GBps is obvious, but 1 petabyte?!?! I could have all the porn. All of it.

When it comes to wireless communications, Steve Perlman doesn't believe in limits. Even if those limits are backed by a half century of physicists and electrical engineers. His new DIDO tech is proof of that.

Jesus Christ.

It's actually good to see these sorts of established mindsets being proven wrong, it means those scientists have to re-evaluate their research. Gives hope that other stuff a lotta people think is impossible may actually be possible (Faster-than-light travel, etc.).

I think some crazy bastard will probably find a way sooner or later. Something absurd like creating and then entering a miniature reality then re-entering ours someplace ours someplace else. Or Quantum Entanglement. Or just abusing physics in general to somehow legitimately produce the amount of energy to exceed the speed of light. That's right, I think that humanity will one day munchkin reality.

If you exit and then return to a song, it'll usually keep your car's progress. I've seen two of me riding the same track along with me :P

Humanity has a tendancy to force itself on anything it comes across.

We're a little dwarfy in that respect. Always sticking our bulbous noses where they don't belong, then when they get bit off we kill the thing and rebuild our lost parts out of their corpses.

There's no proof.  As far as I can tell, it's a guy making a crazy claim with no demonstration or explanation for it (particularly, the idea that the towers will be able to transmit through objects you can't normally transmit through seems rather... odd).  I guess we'll have to wait until the technology is actually unveiled to see.

In other words I'll believe it when I see it... but I really want to see it.

As I was walking home, I saw a woman spraying something that appeared to be disinfectant or air freshener on her curbside garbage.

Bug spray, maybe?  I guess it would depend on how far the curb is to her house or anything nearby that people would want to stand around.
