Exactly my point: Time is relative, and a rate of time/time must be a rate of local time / some non-local time (or the reciprocal) to make any sense at all.
I rented the Virtual Boy when it came out, and played it all that (long, Thanksgiving) weekend. I do not recall it shutting off and making me take a break. I do remember there were warnings about taking a break, which I completely ignored.
The VB was awesome. Too damned bad it was monochrome. The price (and weight) were just way too much at the time for them to go full color. And now that they already have the failure on record, there's no chance in hell they'll pursue a full color version anytime in the near future.
While the system was a failure and most of the games were shitty, the visual effect was actually pretty fucking cool, and remains one of the best implementations of 3D I've seen. I never had any problems with headaches / eye strain / etc., either.
Neo wouldn't have knocked the vase over if he wasn't told not to worry about it, simply because Keanu Reeves is a mindless robot. He would have stood completely still until someone removed him from the set.
Skynet was around in T2's future because the arm of the T-800 was retrieved from the warehouse, and was being researched and reverse engineered.
Skynet was around in T3's future because "judgement day is inevitable [as long as we can make money on a sequel, so lets throw some tits on screen to make sure we get a return on this one]". Did you not see the movie? I sure as fuck didn't, because I'm still waiting for them to write the script for T3.
Regardless, don't bother arguing with the goob baiting you into proving a hypothetical negative.
There's plenty of present day, real-world examples of research moneys for non-necessities resulting in minimal progress. I offer up any disease that is marketed with a walk, ribbon, foundation, etc., any social "issue" that demands my tax money and awareness, anything involving the environment or energy "crisis", anything dealing with voice recognition, etc.
There are very few examples of research moneys going to necessities and not speeding along progress. (If anyone wants to challenge this claim with a "necessity" that we've been putting money into without any results, I will automatically counter with "we've got 7 billion people, we're fine without that "necessity", therefore, it is not a necessity".)
You want innovation? You fund and use your military. The vast majority of man's innovations have come about through necessity, and the thing that most necessitates innovation is someone trying to kill you.
The fact that the DSi can't do youtube (because of Flash's ridiculous requirements) is annoying. Please, youtube, support <video> and please, Opera, update the DSi browser.

What we should be doing will never be what we will be doing as long as we have limited resources.
Competition is a bitch, isn't it?

Fuck you. This is a slashdot article.
Competence, precedence, and facts have no place here.

That doesn't make it 4 dimensional.
It has to span multiple points along the time axis to be dimensional in that regard.
That's 1 universal second per local second, I assume.
Please people, label your units!
Last I heard they still haven't been able to tighten up the graphics on level 3.
I'd do unimaginable things just to be considered for such a mission.
Sadly, I don't think there's any hope for getting the young kids to wake up and see that Obama's plan for Europe 2.0 will actually be bad for them.
What?
Those are movies.

Change I can believe in.
Damned slashdot got rid of my text

I know even flash lite is too much for the DSi.
I'll be sure to digg his next liveblog video tweetcast. And reddit. And stumbleupon. And Fark. And Del.icio.us. And grapevine. And etc.
I come to the web to shit on society not to interact with the most annoying members of it.
That's exactly the attraction.
A bunch of neo-urbanites spout off about the most inane shit as they bum around their metropolis.
Yeah, no.
Blog is not short for an actual (legitimate) term.
Tweet is an actual word (yet somehow, twitter is still shit, go figure).
It's all the rage now.
Gotta get that "OMG I HEARD THIS ON TWITTER 2 SECONDS AGO" reader to see it without scrolling.
The imaginary square root of -1?
What if the turd IS the basket?

Like I said: Droids and Ron Paul. That's 2.
Protip: This is unrelated to the Samsung Epix (i907) cellphone.
PAPER FUCKING VOTES
HAND FUCKING COUNTS
FUCK!
Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING. THAT'S BECAUSE I'M YELLING!
The sad thing is, the droids have convinced you there are only two parties!
RON PAUL 2012!
Social desynchronization? That explains most of your posts, AC.
Community college, 2-year BA, etc. don't cover it.
It's ELAC.
