I think that your restaurant example here is flawed, though. For one, the restaurant industry won't just "break" as you say; it will simply need to adjust. Primarily, rather than convenience of sit-down restaurants in close proximity to office/industrial areas, they will need to move to being more convenient and proximal to residential areas: either by physically moving their locations or by integrating more with delivery services like DoorDash and GrubHub and others.

Yes, it could, unless you're running a 64-bit OS and processor. Most computers, which are 32-bit, have a total or 4 GB of addressable memory space, which includes video memory, sound card memory (if you actually still use one) and system RAM. Therefore, if you put in a 2GB video card, you can't make use more than 2 GB of system RAM.

That's not entirely accurate. PAE makes it possible to address 4+ GB of addresses on a 32-bit system, so long as your operating system supports it fully. AFAIK both Linux and BSD happily do, and certain Windows versions also support it.

(http://www.macserialjunkie.com/) In an Steve Jobs-like "Open Letter to the Community", the founders of MSJ explain how a number of people at the highest levels of the underground planned their takeover activities for almost two years, only to be foiled at the last minute. In an age of terrorism, are Western societies now taking cues from hostile countries instead of the other way around?"

WED Fan writes: "A University of Washington researcher who couldn't find funds the old fashioned way, from the Government, has raised funds from private parties to continue with his back in time studies.

He is studying the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox. Basically, using spooky action, he wants to be able to use entangled pairs to send messages, not only through space, but also in time.

As the evidence for this has accumulated, several fairly contorted and unsatisfying efforts have been aimed at solving the puzzle. Cramer has proposed an explanation that doesn't violate the speed of light but does kind of mess with the traditional concept of time.

Question: How do you know where to find and "listen" to the right entangled particle to receive a message from the future? Or, in that vast amount of noise, if you don't know someone is sending a message, how do you know its there?"
