Thanks for letting me know.

It could be that the SkyGo app is getting this wrong, But I don't see why SuperSU would be installed unless it is rooted. Have you lent it to anyone? Otherwise I'd think about returning it to where you bought it as it is not fit for purpose if it was supplied rooted.

Microwave ovens energise water molecules in the food. They don't "zap" anything. I tend to only use the microwave for reheating things, but that's because I've usually got something else cooking on the hob and it's as easy to put another pan or the steamer on.

The VillaTalk app. Obviously.

Is it one of these? http://www.cnmlifestyle.com/index.html If so, grab all the support docs you can as it looks like they've gone bust. It's not shipped rooted, which suggests that it is something you've installed. You could try deleting apps one by one, but I'd back up everything (you should set it to do this automatically) and do a factory reset.

Okay we're going to need more than "generic android tablet". What does it show on the "About tablet" page?

I saw villajax's post in isolation and thought it was a rant about car insurance - ie. exactly what he wrote. Feel free to add me to your ignore list if you don't like what I post. If this isn't an attack on me, feel free to use another message board if this one doesn't contain only posts you find acceptable.

No-one knows. Think of a sheet of paper. Put a dot on the top left and the bottom left. You can see how far they are apart, now fold the sheet and the dots are much closer together. That's the thinking here. It might be impossible, it might be that spacetime is already folded in higher dimensions and we just need to find convenient spots. At those spots we would open a wormhole between the points on the sheets. We'd need exotic matter to form and maintain the wormhole, because ordinary matter is part of spacetime. If we actually had the ability to do this, would we attempt it? I mean, surely it would be impossible to know what the consequences of doing such a thing would be to life as we know it? As we learn more, we can predict the consequences. Human nature suggests that if we can, we will.

See if it'll let you uninstall "superSU". I think that's all sky look for anyway. You can reinstall it if you need it again.

If you drive a tonne of metal around then you need to make sure that other people are protected against your inevitable mistakes. I don't see what's ridiculous about that.

The fact that we named our own species homo sapien (wise or intelligent man) always seems like an act of egregious egotism and self-delusion because all available evidence indicates that the vast majority of us are neither intelligent or wise. I think homo habilis (skilled man) would have been more appropriate, which is certainly more evident amongst the vast majority. But even if the vast majority have the brass neck to co-opt the achievements of the likes of Newton and Einstein, it would seem that in the great scheme of things, intelligence is an overrated and ill-defined attribute. Surely a truly intelligent species would be so well attuned to its environment that its survival was assured: something our own species has yet to achieve. When weighing the success of our species against others we have a very long way to go before we can award ourselves first prize: after all the sponge has been around for 760 million years and homo sapiens only around 250 000. Sitting around in an ocean seems like a better survival strategy than the 'intelligent' invention of weapons of mass-destruction. I'm not sure that evolution could ever produce something such as you describe. It's random and favours descendants which are better able to use the resources available. There are many niches where evolution has produced something which is essentially perfect for it's environment. The fact that you can ask this question is what makes us intelligent. Intelligence isn't a measure of "fit for purpose". It's an ability to abstract ideas from the real world.

A width that is half the height of the font? *typeface You need to tell the VT software provider that! Do they refer to "en" as a typographic term somewhere on the site?

Can you give us some clues? Which tablet? How did you root it (ie. where did you get the instructions)?

A width that is half the height of the font? *typeface The most important thing ever, thank you so much for that correction, you life saver! Quite right. No-one is allowed to post anything on a forum unless it's to save a life.

At those spots we would open a wormhole between the points on the sheets. We'd need exotic matter to form and maintain the wormhole, because ordinary matter is part of spacetime. But all of this is pure fiction. Going to orbit in a little metal shell on top of a very large bomb is also dangerous.

I thought they were now exploring the possibility/probability of 'bending space'? We are only a new branch of physics and engineering and a new kind of power source away from folding spacetime. It'll probably happen, but it's a long way off. To do that they'd need to harness the power of gravity, perhaps using dark matter? Genuine question looking for a lay mans answer. Or as lay man as you can get! Gravity is an analogy to describe how space-time is distorted by (condensed) energy. It describes a weak field. Gravity isn't likely to be useful in folding space as gravity is something which occurs as a function of spacetime. Layman's terms: No, gravity probably doesn't have much to offer for doing this. No-one knows what dark matter is, other than that matter doesn't interact with it. Are you thinking of exotic matter? If so then it's likely that exotic matter will be needed in any attempt to fold space. That's why we'd need a new type of power source. As a previous poster said, see how much energy is needed to accelerate a small mass to relativistic speeds. Now think how much energy is likely to be needed to fold space. I think the last estimate I read was all the output of the sun over its lifetime would be needed. Physics is still a long way from doing any of this; we are still a long way from knowing if this is even possible. Layman's terms: u wot m8?

Are you going to Cyanogenmod it? Or stick with touchwiz?

It's a little more than 95%.

But if the aliens launched 100,000 years ago at 1% of light speed they might have travelled 1,000 light years already. I don't see where our lifetimes come into it. The aliens might arrive tomorrow. That we can't conceive of travelling for that long is a reflection on our abilities, not theirs. Of course if they set out 66m years ago, they might be gutted that we aren't dinosaurs when they get here.

Why are you limiting the debate to 20 light years?

I'm not sure what's mysterious about that. You can look up and see those stars most nights. Copying that pattern to place the pyramids doesn't involve aliens. As aliens would come from elsewhere, then Orion's belt would be meaningless to them as it only looks that way from where we observe it. If anything, if they are laid out like Orion's belt, then they cannot have been placed by aliens.

I agree with most of this, but we/they would not need to travel anywhere near light speed to travel interstellar.
