  6. I swear I saw Al post something on facebook for a new 2600 homebrew to go to the store soon, but can't find it. Any idea what it was?

  7. Backwards time travel remains impossible because the 3-body problem remains impossible even with smaller-than-Planck resolutions in calculations.

      I realize the statement "before" the Big Bang may or may not be meaningless depending on if time started with the big bang or not. Better to just ask whether the void is fundamental to a theoretical non-space time matrix or non-space matrix. I call it a matrix because its nature is incomprehensible except mathematically. Thought I would avoid you having to explain "there may not be a 'before' the big bang" business, which I know about, but still fall into the trap sometimes. I read about a theory in Discover or Sci Am once about the big bang resulting from two other universes bouncing off each other and who knows what the speed limit is in that scenario. It's interesting to think about if we may be on a collision course with another universe and how quickly that would affect us in our little corner of it.

      Space itself, whatever that is, can expand faster than the speed of light, as occurred during the inflaltion period of the big bang. They say it's not the same since it's the void between objects expanding, but it was not there before the big bang unless it is fundamental to the non-space-time matrix. I'm a little fuzzy on space vs void.

  15. The batteries in my mouse died.  Personally I think cordless keyboards and mouses suck.  Why would I want to pay for and change batteries.

  23. I was just reading a 1997 review article. for a 2GB flash drive for $500. Flash memory is over 1000x cheaper now than it was in 1997.

  24. $110 to import 2.5kg of gaming stuff from France. I knew there was a reason I haven't done that in a couple years. Went through a mail forwarder. Thought it would be less than 2kg ($60 postage) ended up being 2.5kg.
