Sure, MHD drives that I know of are slow and run on superconductors, but that was back in the early 90's, they should be able to gin up something better by now.
I really don't see what the problem is. We don't even have to worry about the energy needed to make this work, all we have to do is get those aliens from Star Trek IV.
No, it doesn't. It makes him someone with sane views on art. This makes him rather different from many people on this site, who have insane views on art.
Art belongs to the artist who created it, for the lifetime of the artist. When the artist dies, then you can claim that his/her work belongs to the greater culture. Not before. Any less than that is infringing upon the artist's freedom, and is 100% unacceptable.
This way of handling the question is dated. These days, most of the art that forms the shared experience of society is not controlled or even produced by a person, at least not in the sense of "a human being." The strings are held by corporations, perpetual entities which, by your standards of copyright, would make all of that which makes us human belong wholly to them within a generation. The only way to avoid this is to take the stand that the rights of the people, the patrons, must outweigh that of the artist.
I was facetiously suggesting that the acceptance of games as a form of artwork which is important to culture an which should therefore be somehow subsidized would be facilitated by giving some of them a snobbier word.

Hmm. No, no, the gaming PC is just fine. Fan clatters a little bit when I turn it on because it impinges on the heatsink, but it still works fine.

Haven't you been reading the warnings around here about how bad it is for the Internet? If big business starts using BT we'll microwave the baby!

You're replying to a slashdot comment saying that you run Opera. What makes you think you qualify as Joe Average?
There is a semen stain on my case.
...who keeps misreading this as "algorithms can make you petty?"

A 500% increase is a five-fold increase. Not five-hundred fold.
You're telling me that the kind of people you see on Gamefaqs are more engaged civically and politically than their peers?

But... that's basically exactly what he is complaining he can't do. So if he can, what is he complaining about?
