  Faster-than-light - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, it permits distortions in spacetime that allow an object to move faster than light from the point of view of a distant observer, even though it always moved slower than light in its own reference frame.
It is also possible for two objects to move faster than light relative to each other, but only from the point of view of an observer in a third frame of reference, who naively adds velocities according to Galilean relativity.
The expansion of the universe causes distant galaxies to recede from us faster than the speed of light, if comoving distance and cosmological time are used to calculate the speeds of these galaxies.

 Exploit Interactive Issue 7: Flexible Access to Statistics, Tables and Electronic Resources
The basic strategic goal of the FASTER project (2000-2001) [3] is to link the world of the data archives described above with the official statistics and develop advanced metadata models and systems that build on the leading developments in both.
However the FASTER project is broadening the discussion beyond these types of dataset and has engaged in detailed ‘brainstorming’ with the developers of other types of metadata systems.
The FASTER project is very ambitious, it is seeking to address many of the issues that have been thrown up by the success of the NESSTAR project.

 Powell's Books - Faster: The Acceleration of Just about Everything by James Gleick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything is Gleick's head-spinning (and again, bestselling) discussion about Western society's speed-obsessed relationship with time, and how we buy it, spend it, save it, kill and waste it.
Gleick knew when he wrote Faster that parts of his book would become outdated even before its release; his witty, accessible report is perhaps made even more intriguing by this obsolescence.
Faster is thought-provoking and quick — even the most hurried of readers deem it time well spent.

 Radeon 1800XT to go faster than 600/1400 MHz
Such cards might not be in the stores at launch date, the plan is to have them two to three weeks after the launch, but ATI will hace X1800XL cards at the time of its announcements.
So ATI kind of can clock faster and we already reported that ATI chip can work at even 700+ MHz clock but we don't think that yields will be good at these speeds.
Whatever happens, it has to end up faster than G70 - that is the plan but as usual Nvidia will do something to respond.

 University Week - Vol. 21, No. 26 - Troposphere warming faster than Earth’s surface, new measurement shows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
For years the debate about climate change has had a contentious sticking point — satellite measurements of temperatures in the troposphere, the layer of atmosphere where most weather occurs, were inconsistent with fast-warming surface temperatures.
The troposphere temperature was measured by channel 2 on the microwave sounding units, but those readings were imprecise because about one-fifth of the signal actually came from a higher atmospheric layer called the stratosphere.
“Because of ozone depletion and the increase of greenhouse gases, the stratosphere is cooling about five times faster than the troposphere is warming, so the channel 2 measurement by itself provided us with little information on the temperature trend in the lower atmosphere,” Fu said.

 Faster Than Light
Others things which can go faster than the speed of light include the spot of a laser which is pointed at the surface of the moon.
This is not what we mean by faster than light travel although it shows how difficult it is to define what we really do mean by faster than light travel.
However, it is meaningless to say that the universe is expanding faster than light because the rate of the expansion is measured by Hubble's constant alone which does not even have the units of speed.

 Salon Books | "Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything"
As Machiavelli becomes the poster prince for a new kind of power-hungry self-help genre, scholars are using the 16th century political philosopher as a litmus test for human behavior.
James Gleick's "Faster" is a wry, many-faceted meditation that takes as its starting point the notion that our lives, both at work and at leisure, have inexorably sped up.
His most resonant chapter heading is "The Paradox of Efficiency." Gleick uses the phrase to describe the complicated systems that businesses use in order to become vastly more efficient (and less likely to bend to your whim).

 New Scientist Breaking News - Speed of light broken with basic lab kit
Electric signals can be transmitted at least four times faster than the speed of light using only basic equipment that would be found in virtually any college science department.
While the peak moves faster than light speed, the total energy of the pulse does not.
Signals also get weaker and more distorted the faster they go, so in theory no useful information can get transmitted at faster-than-light speeds, though Robertson hopes his students and others can now rigorously and cheaply test those ideas.

 Faster Company
Unlike many companies, in which the IT group is considered a cost center and reports to the CFO, IBM's IT team is considered so crucial to the company's fortunes that Ward reports to J. Bruce Harreld, IBM's senior vice president of strategy and one of CEO Lou Gerstner's closest confidants.
Employees were encouraged and energized when they saw their pet projects being deployed in a matter of weeks, rather than months or quarters.
It then created the "Success Factors for Speed," six attributes that all successful projects had in common: strong leaders, team members who were speed demons, clear objectives, a strong communication system, a carefully tailored process (rather than a one-size-fits-all approach), and a speed-oriented timetable.

 Java pulling ahead? Java versus C++ benchmarks
Several years ago these benchmarks showed java performance at the time to be somewhere in the middle of C compiler performance - faster than the worst C compilers, slower than the best.
These are "microbenchmarks", but they do have the advantage that they were run across a number of different problem sizes and thus the results are not reflecting a lucky cache interaction (see more details on this issue in the next section).

 Weiqi Gao's Observations - Java Faster Than C++? No Way!
And C is faster than C++, and assembly language is faster than C. Comment from Eric Burke on September 11, 2004 11:23:17 AM CDT
Eclipse, which has to be ported for each graphics environment, is "faster" in terms of user response (i.e., drawing things, getting keystrokes) because it doesn't use Java's event construction for those things.
I too have seen that Java is faster than C/C++ in many areas, and especially on the server side where it reigns supreme, we all know that the JIT kicks in after a little while which is most often seen on the server side.

 The Straight Dope: Which freezes faster, hot water or cold water?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The cold water froze about 10 or 15 minutes faster than the hot water, and there was no detectable difference between the boiled water and the other kind.
I chose these two temperatures because (1) they were pretty much what the average amateur ice-cube maker would have readily available and (2) I couldn't find a mercury thermometer that went higher than 125 degrees.
Jearl suggested that the most likely explanation for this was evaporation: when water cools down from near boiling to the freezing point, as much as 16 percent evaporates away, compared to 7 percent for water at 160 degrees.

If you have a design that takes 20 minutes to run and you could reload a machine three minutes faster by making the layout of the staging area more efficient, you would get an `extra' run done for every seven runs sewn.
With a typical shift's actual sewing time calculated at seven hours, your operator could have sewn three extra runs in a shift.
Our company recently changed systems, and as a result we now have fewer placement errors, faster hooping and less operator fatigue.

It possesses a truly bizarre combination of elements that could easily have been picked out of a hat for their symbolic importance, but to Rapp's credit he makes elements as diverse as a plastic pail, a handgun, Count Chocula cereal, and a song about Florida orange juice all sort of work together.
Make no mistake, Faster isn't a good play, but there is some cohesion to be found from the combination of its elemental pieces.
Even Larson can't disguise the fact that Faster is one of those plays that wants so hard to be about something, that it strains under the weight of too many elements until it is about nothing at all.
