why dont we using this technology to create giant cows, potatoes, etc?
because its a BAD idea. do you seriously think the growth inhibitor is there for no reason? think thats all it does, inhibit growth? A while ago, they almost started spreading a gentically engineered plant that would help take impurities out of the soil, help clean up the environment, etc. good intentions.
this plant also turned out to put something back, which would be the botanical equivelant of cancer.
back in the day, we also didnt buy new controllers.
if we wanted to go up, left, and down, we used one controller.. if we wanted to go right, however, we... SWITCHED CONTROLLERS.
note: pitfall.. eater of controllers, destroyer of the littler red button..
i kinda dug the fact that c-64's used the same joysticks though.. as did most things, but.. come on.. c-64's were just.. twitch.. sniff.. okay.. im going to stop now, before i cry..
Back when i was younger, we had the atari. And it was good. If you got blisters playing the atari, you dealt with it. You didnt complain, it was just accepted. 43 straight hours of Tooth Defender or Joust, you got blisters.
And you dealt with it. Like a man.
If you were challenged to a game, and said "I cant play, i have blisters.." well, you got beat up. Real men dont complain about blisters.
I think we should find the people complaining about getting blisters from playing games, and beat them.. Beat them senseless.
Perhaps with the gloves, even.
Either that, or they should JUST STOP PLAYING THE DAMN GAME...
Computers cant understand this. Humans can note: current state,this does not mean ever
What does this mean? Well, lets say the universe is infinite. Computer doesnt understand infinity. Computer does not understand environment. If this doesnt make sense, sorry, i really need to sleep more, anyway, yeah..

so, no, this would not be cool.

This brings up a late night discussion i had at dennys one evening.
current state of computing being as it is, no, a computer can not be aware of its environment
Example, a computer cannot comprehend (even though humans cant either, we have a limited grasp) infinity.
Take an infinite matrix for one.. example:
10010010101---infinite
10010100010---infinite
10010010001---infinite
|||||||||||
infinite
Computers cant understand this.
Humans can

Well, lets say the universe is infinite. Computer doesnt understand infinity. Computer does not understand environment.
