Since 1997, researchers have been able to quantum teleport photons with a major record being set by researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China in Shanghai. In 2010, that team successfully teleported a photon over 16km. Now that same team has released new findings, in which they claim to have teleported photons nearly 100km, or over 60 miles. Now, quantum teleportation isn’t quite the same thing as the teleportation in Star Trek. When researchers teleport a photon, they aren’t teleporting the actual photon, but rather the information contained in it through quantum entanglement. In essence, the second photon at the end of the teleport becomes the fir…

So it's Christmas, and I was wondering what kind of loot everyone got? My family usually does presents on Christmas Eve, so I got A Kindle Touch A Mark Ecko Star Wars Storm Trooper hoodie Some T-Shirts (including one awesome one where the human in an evolutionary line up is facing the other way saying "Stop following me!" to the pre-humans and chimp lol) Candies/chocolates etc. A headlamp and a booklight, either of which are perfect for the non-backlit Kindle (booklight seems to clip on well) Assorted shower gels and such So pretty cool stuff. I'm excited to be able to read a ton of good books now, and put some manga on the Kindle. I may have to post some pictures later …

I know we have some fans of Chrono Trigger here, so I figured I'd pass this link along to them: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SQ80963 Square is finally giving you guys some quality figures it seems. Go forth and pre-order.

Pastor Jeremiah Steepek transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service, only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food – no one in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit in the back. He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him. As he sat in the …

There have been questions about what documents the CIA chooses to declassify, and so Kel McClanahan of National Security Counselors filed a Freedom of Information Act request to find out what procedures the CIA must follow in response to requests to declassify information. McClanahan appeared to know exactly what he was looking for, but... was told that the CIA simply could not find any such documents. Read on http://www.techdirt....documents.shtml

If you would like to view the classified documents, follow this linky to the UK's government website. For the story,linky. It's way to long to post. To sum it up, the UK has released a lot of classified UFO documents including things that the UN was in on, along with the UK miiitary, and police and some other interesting tib bits and facts. Whether or not you believe in UFO's is your opinion, but it's still an interesting read if you have the time

So I was thinking about making a thread along these lines for a while. Here you can basically just post cliches that annoy you. The cliches can be from movies, books, games, or anything. I sort of got the inspiration for this from Cracked. It's just for fun, I'll start with one. And yes I realize I am missing the accent over the e in cliche, but I can't be arsed to look up the keyboard shortcut for that symbol lol. If it becomes a problem for some people, we can use the Spoiler tag, as some of the examples may spoil the plot of some movies/books/etc. Cut Off the Head and the Body Dies Syndrome - The hero is confronted with all of the enemies in one final battle, and …

What is up with the colors? I was wondering if he had a modded account but when I search for his gamertag on .com nothing comes up. He doesn't appear on my recent players list either....

Anyone know how to code a Droid app? I'm trying to figure it out and need someplace to start.

Found this on reddit... How is this even legal??

http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/28/5936959/comcast-confessions-when-every-call-is-a-sales-call I'm just so disgusted with Comcast. I knew they were bad from first hand experience, and I knew they were bad with that call that went online a few weeks back -- but this article shows how terrible they are. They're about to get much worse if that Time Warner merger goes through. Oh yeah, the comments on that article are as good as the article itself.

BAH! So there was Comcast outage yesterday in my area. All flipping day. Well anyway, they finally get it runnning again and guess what? Only the internet works...no cable or phone. So we go to Jason's parents house to call them and I ended up talking to two different people who clearly were not on the same page. Female: I'll resend the signals to your cable. It looks like your cable boxes are not receiving the signals. It's probably due to the outage. Let me put through to somebody else. (Next person) Male: Let me check it out. Hmm....it appears that everything is working at your house. We are receiving signals from your cable boxes, telephone, and internet. …

ugh... and my chat with them is going nowhere...

So I'm sure this is VERY poor form, but I absolutely could not stop laughing at some of these, especially the "my mouth is full" one. Here is the original story I read, and more of these can be found here and here
