Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge[^]
Quote: THE BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology. No wires. No electric circuits. No batteries. Nothing to be connected or switched on. So easy to use, even a child can operate it. Compact and portable. Can be used anywhere -- even sitting in an armchair by the fire -- yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disc. Here's how it works:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Time travel is impossible and thus this question is meaningless

Hey, we proved it wasn't next week, and we will probably have to go through it all again last week.

Mohamad M. Mohamad wrote: Time travel is impossible
Prove it.
Even Hawking doesn't say that:
"The first indication that the laws of physics might really allow people to travel in time came in 1949 when Kurt Godel discovered a new space-time allowed by general relativity. Godel was a mathematician who was famous for proving that it is impossible to prove all true statements, even if you limit yourself to trying to prove all the true statements in a subject as apparently cut and dried as arithmetic. Like the uncertainty principle, Godel’s incompleteness theorem may be a fundamental limitation on our ability to understand and predict the universe, but so far at least it hasn’t seemed to be an obstacle in our search for a complete unified theory.
Godel got to know about general relativity when he and Einstein spent their later years at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His space-time had the curious property that the whole universe was rotating. One might ask: “Rotating with respect to what?” The answer is that distant matter would be rotating with respect to directions that little tops or gyroscopes point in.
This had the side effect that it would be possible for someone to go off in a rocket ship and return to earth before he set out. This property really upset Einstein, who had thought that general relativity wouldn’t allow time travel."
Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time
He has a whole chapter about time travel, wormholes and such like.

I would go back in time to Mohamad M. Mohamad and try to explain the concept of time travel and that from the time I had come from it was perfectly possible.

Reminds me of this (names have been changed to protect the innocent):
Teacher: Tommy, why have you brought your cat to school with you today?
Tommy (crying): I heard the milk man tell my mum: "when your boy goes to school I'm gonna eat your pussy!"
Should probably have been in the Soapbox, but you brought up the subject here in the Lounge. So I blame you!

I'm fairly certain that is where all the cat memes came from.
The internet, as we all know, was given to us all for porn.
Some people, early on, misunderstood their directives and started uploading pictures of cats and it all just sort of snowballed from there.

... attempting to open a message before the page is 100% loaded triggers a page refresh. When everything is working well and the whole page loads in a second or two this isn't a big deal; but every once in a while something barfs on my work connection and pages will stall (typically at 90-99%) for 30 seconds or a minute before completing. When that happens I've got a lounge page that looks like it should be ready to go but which any attempt to expand a message to read ends up making the problem worse (by resetting the suckage latency delay).

I posted it here as a rant rater than in bugs and sugs for a reason.

What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
