Gattaca? Technologies like this are a Bad Thing. Many predict that these SuperGene technologies will become so ubiquitous that those born naturally are ostracized for their imperfections. I would much rather rely on nature than on man to manage the human gene pool. But not to get ahead of myself. The article itself is crap. They don't mention how they are going to actually get new genes inside the human body. The best modern method is to infect the gamete with a virus. Most people wouldn't be too keen on having infected children from a test-tube.
now that we are free from the oppressive laws of inertia and opposite reaction? I don't even think the universe was ever planning on opening the source code to physics, and this EULA that Newton devised has just been a setback to innovative new paradigms.
are probably why North Korea is giving strange information that seems contradictory to other policies before. They're trying to change to a more open and capitalist government. North Korea has made other announcements besides nuclear weapons. They also disclosed the abduction of Japanese during the 70's and early 80's. Information here. Anyway, back on topic, North Korea has realized that nuclear weapons do not serve any good day-to-day purpose, because unlike video games using nuclear weapons in a recreational manner is highly illegal and non-productive in a down economy.
I have been living in Japan for a couple weeks and this article made me laugh. Third Generation cell-phones are very, very popular in The Land of the Rising Sun. A standard 3G phone comes with a hi-res color LCD, built-in camera, e-mail, decent sound, and lots of other stuff along with almost flawless service. Oh and all of this is about $150. The pink models with photo-stickers and custom flashing antennas added by their users are admittedly cute. =( In comparison to what I have seen in Japan, this Motorola model is bulky, ugly, boring, and overpriced. Anyway, the bottom line is the MSNBC article seemed naive to me, but I would love to see Third Generation cell-phones become popular in America and see the prices of these go down.
Oh and don't worry about the typing. Some Japanese people can get up to 100 kanji characters per minute which I would say is equivalent to 70-80 English words per minute. Granted, these are people who win thumb-typing contests, but if one were to have good word recognition software and a little practice, typing on a keypad would become much easier and usable for lengthy messages.
This is what you do with BULK LEGOS. Buy tons of bricks and build a LEGO MACHINE GUN for every GI in the US army. This is THE replacement to aging M16 technology!
It's the ROBonaut! He even has five fingers so he could post articles to/. from space. The possibilities are endless. I can't wait for the upcoming partner robot, Maldanaut!
It's true that consoles are catching up to the power of PCs, but the PC still has every console beat on Internet Multiplayer. Nothing beats a good game of Quake with a T1 or Cable Modem:)

Keep wearing them I say. At least we'll have an excuse to smoke weed. :(

Helium 3. 'Nuff said

for the blue cylinder of death...
Woah, I glanced at the title and thought it said MMPr0n and got excited for a second.

In order to better adhere to the gameplay, they should switch to a new format of 10 frames per minute.
