Wristwatch USB Drive
opwierde writes "For the gadget happy multitude LAKS has made the ultimate wristwatch. It's a USB drive combined with a watch and they've managed to make it look rather nice." (This looks like a nice place to store a persistent homedir to use with Knoppix-MiB ;))
wow, you just described the parts of the porn that I skip through.
Am I weird or do most people really like this stuff more than penetration? Penetration being in my opinion the real main course of porn.
A drive implies a disk that spins with a read/write head flying track to track. This watch has solid state memory. It is NOT a drive, it is a watch with memory in it.
Quit butchering the language.
Neo never left the Matrix. Not even in the first movie. Everyone, including Zion, is still inside.
While this is possible, it's no more supported than a "this is just Neo having a really bad drug trip" interpretation, or a "the Empire was good and the Rebels are evil terrorists" interpretation of Star Wars.
If the robots were going to build a seperate Matrix, you'd think that they'd simply have individual programs, like what the rebels use to control Zion or train operatives, and leave them there.
Remember: the robots don't lie as a rule, and the genesis of the design of the Matrix is a program who believes that humans and machines need to live together--and who was and is mistrusted by her peers inside and outside of the Matrix.
The oracle very definitaly did.

This may seem trivial...
When I'm Modding, I give At Least 10 minutes before I choose to mark a post Redundant. Mine and the previous post must have been Seconds apart as they are consecutively numbered.
Actually, Neo's greatest strength has nothing to do with evolution and everything to do with disbelief. It's similar to the movie audience itself; the longer you suspend belief and the more incredulous the movie, (although having semblances to reality), the more entertaining the film. Neo never really believed what was going on around him was real, and when he was extracted from the tank and trained, that disbelief grew to the point where he knew he could effect change in an unreal environment.
Then again, it may turn out that Neo is actually part machine, like you say. He might have been one experimental pea in a pod, an extension of man-machine that the machines sought to create to bridge the gap and restore harmony. I remember hearing 'to a computer, all reality is virtual', and that fits perfectly into Neo's pathos. If all reality is virtual, everything is subject to change, to user input.
Also that'd explain why the Oracle (a nice piece of code right?) knew about Neo's abilities. She might have known about a covert project in the Matrix involving proto-humans, and Neo might have been one in a series.
As far as I can tell the robot dude demanded that they gave up their flesh and then blew up the leaders as an example to prevent resistance.

well i had two dates last night and im juggling 4 women right now. and im serious. i have to figure something out for this weekend before they all find out and im left with nothing....
and actually the one im 'dating' is pretty cool. ive never been out with a nerd girl and keep my geekyness under control in the presence of the fairer sex - just last night one of my dates was teling me about her cousin whois building a simulator for the gov.. but h cant help but be a nerd in normal conversation. obviously sharp as a tack but no social skills whatsoever (and was raised by a dad that way). we had a good laugh and then i got some action.
the moral of the story: jon got some, who needs morals?
