This lab has been there for years
This lab has been there for some time.
I saw it on PBS comparing the old EV1 battery to the new Volt pack.
Apparently it was recorded in 2005.

Robot Jox
Ah so Maybe one day we can live in the Future of Robot Jox http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102800/

This stunt is dangerous.
This rookie kid might just as well land the RIAA a win. The odds may look good for Kiwi right now but if the rookie screws up he may end up handing the RIAA a free ticket to tyranny.
This "Rookie" is teamed up with a Harvard law professor who's called the "Billion Dollar Charlie" and has a 1998 movie, "A Civil Action", about a case of his about a toxic polluter.

Robot Jox and Robot Wars
Everyone knows "Robot Wars" with the excellent Barbara Crampton already predicted this. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107979/ It will be buried once the Chinese take over and only brought out to defeat our overlords!

Re:No
Your post reminds me, can we all get together as a world and agree that there needs to be NO more crap movies made from 60s and 70s TV, please? Maybe a nice little website with a petition which we the entire world will be most happy to sign if it means no more "gems" like Bewitched, The Dukes of Hazzard, or even the newest stinkbomb The Land of the Lost?
I think we can DO this people! We can get together, and in one voice the peoples of the world can put aside their racial and religious differences to stand side by side and shout "No more &^%$&^%$^ movies based on 60s and 70s TV crap!!!"

TFA is...
Both incorrect itself (or couldn't even be bothered with IMDB) and its assumptions are misquoted blogspam.
So, let's see, confirmed on Pixar's future agenda (as we know now);
Plus speculation in Variety from several days ago about Monsters, Inc 2 possibly being Docter's next film that has suffered a little in the blogspam reporting (ie accuracy), resulting in the OMG SEQUALZ?!? meme we're soaking in today...
Also speculation: various rumored Mater spin-off movies from Cars. Yes, Larry the Cable Guy might get his own... vehicle (ouch). God help us all, but it'd be a goldmine.

Re:Thinking not required for good grades.
The problem is, there are a lot of people that don't want to think. The vast majority of people are like that. Why do you think vapid shit like "American Idol" and "Deal or No Deal?" are still getting millions of viewers, and intellectually interesting shows like Firefly where there's an actual plot and dialogue and story get canceled? Shit, I changed channel to "Deal or No Deal" last night as I was surfing and there was a fucking chimpanzee that they had to either agree or disagree with the damn contestant. Next step, "Ass", the movie. Kids will NOT get the intrinsic value of learning from their family life, or from their friends who have the same style of family life. We need to give them some reason to do something other than skate through, and a financial reward for doing well is something they can grasp with their meager attention spans and strong desire to not think hard about anything. Why do you think people go to church? Somebody tells them what to think about God and morality. It's easier that way.

Re:Protect the innocent!I wasn't arguing for niether. The parent asked which scenario I would prefer and I merely pointed out that his argument didn't hold water. There is no either or as you say but chances are, and this changes the argument significantly. So unless there's a must then I see no reason to justify simulated rape. And no I don't think you can prevent actual rape by allowing people to simulate it. There is no proof of such so this theory should only be considered as speculation. And if it did prevent it I would consider it the wrong approach to solve the problem, amongst many other wrong approaches that also would prevent said crime such as castration, death penalty or suspended animation.
Well, again there's about seven billion of us around. Someone, someday is bound to not like what you enjoy without it ever harming them or someone else. Would you think it fair to have that banned? Because, make no mistake, this thing could be everything from something you like to eat, some sport you like to watch to some sexual preferences you enjoy with your significant other.
You clearly have a different approach than the parent so I'll be fair and answer to your point of view as well. The problem with your argument is that you put equal weight on that innocent someone as you do on the not so innocent ones. It's a matter of cost. If by not allowing 100 people to play rape games you manage to prevent one out of those 100 to rape a person in reality then to me it's a small cost to pay. The impact of each action is different so naturally they must be weighed against each other. Mind you I'm not trying to prove to you why we should or shouldn't ban rape games, I'm merely pointing out why I think your argument fails. I'm not impossible to convince but I need more than speculation to change opinions.
One thing is for certain though, no discussion even needed. If any of us had been the victim of a rape crime we would have a significantly different view of the matter. Perhaps it's important not to forget that, and at the same time try to challenge the matter from that side as well. -
Reported rapes
Those are *reported* rapes. I think the list is not all that great, actually. You will notice that most of the countries at the bottom of the list are countries where women are 2nd class citizens, the police are corrupt, speaking out against men is shameful, or some combination of this. Rape is an underreported crime everywhere, but if the police were going to rape me if I yelled "rape", then I would probably not report it.
Yes, I said rape twice. I like rape. -

Re:Morals and all that jazz
The most effective measure to speech you don't like is not banning it, but speaking out against it.
Really? Tell it to the Chinese that their ban on the events of Tiananmen square in 1989 is less effective than speaking out against it. I bet they'll laugh their ass off. That is, if you can find someone informed enough to know what really happen in the first place. The Soviet Union did a pretty good job at suppressing religion, which seemed to be quite more effective than telling people they're full of superstition using my free speech. There's a reason why it's the first amendment of the US constitution, if talking back was the most effective solution we wouldn't need it. To "I think the colonies should declare independence", "Send him to the gallows for high treason against the Crown" was the most effective response.
We don't ban speech because it's not effective, we don't ban it because it's the essence of democracy to have, express and gather support for minority opinions and expressions as well as sharing them with others. That includes a satiric cartoon, an unpatriotic song or a youtube clip. Dakota Fanning was depicted as being raped in Hounddog, How's that not child pornography? Well, first and foremost because she was never raped. It's a story. Fiction. A depiction that leads you to believe that in the film the character she played was raped. While I'm sure this game is more graphic and interactive, it's also just fiction. A depiction that leads you to believe that the underage character was raped. Except with even less basis in reality.

Re:I know
The complete protocol was detailed way back in 1988 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097257/ and it seemed to work then so I reckon it will work just as well today

Re:Sounds fine to me
While I would like to agree with you. Read what the other posters have wrote. And while many will think USA made goods are crappy, the stuff from other countries is crappier.
Call me sensitive, but I was part of the car industry during the times when North American's laughed at the Japanese cars. I never laughed, and neither did my father (he was a German VP in Magna during those days) If you really want to get an eye opener of how times were rent Gungho

and indeed he does, on the original cover:

Look at that haircut! It's cool, It's part of what makes him dorky. But as a cartoon character, it doesn't work. It's just another exaggregated feature.

How to filter out blogs....
Using the term 'ranma' as an example (the famous anime character)
I typed into google.com:
ranma
and got about 4,180,000 results.
Next, I typed:
ranma -blogger.com -blogspot.com -livejournal.com -typepad.com
and got about 3,590,000 results.
Not much difference but an improvemt when you filter out the blogsites that appeared on the first page of google with the term 'blog'.
To avoid this, just search for your search terms on the top 3 sites by way of google.
Wikipedia for info on just about anything -- meaning it is clogged with LOTS of popular entertainment information like Ranma 1/2.
'ranma wikipedia'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranma_½
(Sorry, the link above is broken because it has a 'funny' character in it -- use the google search query above to get to it instead)IMDB if there is audiovisual works out there containing the stuff you are searching for.
'ranma imdb'
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096686/
Amazon if you want to buy stuff containing the search terms you want.
'ranma amazon'
http://www.amazon.com/Ranma-Digital-Complete-First-Season/dp/B00005QCW0
If you don't want to buy anything but just want the information, type this into google using Ranma as an example:
ranma -https
returned about 3,870,000 results
This filters out all pages containing secure URLs from which to buy stuff in privacy. Unfortunately, there are some links out there that use https to keep their discussions private or are talking about the https protocol itself and get filtered out as 'colateral damage'. Also, there are bound to be a tiny few sites that unknowingly (or maliciously) have 'buy it now' links on unsecured http URLs so make sure the connection is secure (and you trust the seller) before you type in your credit card number or other sensitive information.
ranma -.com -https
returns about 1,050,000 results.
This search terms filters out over 3 million sites that are most likely trying to sell you something. All thats left behind are basically
.net, .org, and international sites where the information you want is presented to you 'for informational purposes' and not to make a sale from you. -
Re:Flyin Cars
Actually, I'll "only" be 25 next month, so I don't really remember being promised flying cars and all that jazz.
Back to the Future part II (which promised flying cars in 2015) was released in 1989, which was a little before you'd remember. We still have 6 years left - maybe someone will figure out how gravity and electromagnetics interact by then.
Or maybe the military-industrial complex will let the secret out - if the B2 bomber really did use anti-gravity technology, would they let anyone know?

Re:Why did he do all this?

What makes you think I was replying to you instead of the post from "Anonymous Coward" to which I clearly did reply? Do you not know how to follow a thread? I was replying to "Anonymous Coward" and pretending like I thought that was 1 single person, making a joke that obviously went over your head. What is perhaps more baffling is that you are the one who told someone to fuck off, so you would think that would have been a pretty big hint that I was not referring to you.

GNAA confirms it: Gamito is dead.Mario Gamito, a well known attention whore in the blogsphere community who has been struggling for ages to get his books about self-sodomizing with hi-tech gadgets from Apple sold in any store.

This event led Gamito to join an yaoi oriented cosplay group and create his own blog aggregator, PlanetGeek.

Re:Interesting, yet I don't want the results...
No, unfortunately. I wish I had the skill to write like that, but the movie has been already: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Sadly, this scene didn't make or at least I don't remember it).
If you haven't read the books though, I highly recommend you do. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy would be a good one to pick up, as it contains all of the series. -
There should be a movie
Someone should make a movie of the game, recapping its history from beginning to end (kind of like what was done for Futurama: The Game ). My Matrix DVD collection would be incomplete without it.

Re:What if you refuse?
When you come in to the US, they tell you that you don't have to comply with the checks, but that if you don't you can't enter. So what if you refuse to comply with that one? You can't leave?
Yep, you have to stay at the airport for several years and Tom Hanks stars in a really boring film about your time there. Please, comply with the searches so we don't have to sit through another movie like this!

Re:Ya this is kinda scary
The USSR had very strict border control and it was more to keep their populace in than to keep foreigners out. Thus I see this as a step down a very bad path.
You might be interested in this video:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1294790/
It presents some interesting info on Fascism, and the parallels that have been appearing between the US and Germany(of the past).
Even if you disagree with it (unlikely), it educates on what to watch out for. The rights of the US citizen are slowly slipping away.

Re:Nothing new, but encouraging
I don't believe in everything I read, and I fully agree with you. I may have sounded too critical, but as you have your 'hero' in your cultural ground, we have our 'violent cop that solves everything by killing people'. If you watch a movie called Tropa de elite (something like 'Elite Squad') you'll see what most Brazilians think about how crime should be handled. Good movie, terrible way of solving the problems.
Anyway, I liked the book because it explained pretty good some atitudes that the US takes when dealing with foreign affairs. South America has a lot to complain since Monroe doctrine.
