Does the drug work on the memory or on the machinery that processes the memory?
Do people with eidetic memory have better memories or better machinery for processing memories?
This is stupid hierarchical pack thinking at it's most basic. Those limiting factotrs ALREADY exist. Allowing smart, determined people the oportunity to live longer can only increase the possibility of solving those existing issues.
It's simple. They have been running out of ways to improve Photoshop. Once they realized this, they switched to a subscription only business model. Now they can roll out meager "upgrades" in drips and drabs without the pressure of having to create a whole new version of the software. I expect Adobe will update/upgrade the 3D portion of Photoshop the most over the next two years simply because there will be a lot of features they CAN add. Photoshop itself already does just about everything it needs to be able to do.
Also, Adobe has been trying to crack the 3D problem for fifteen plus years now. Where the "3D problem" is how does Adobe sell 3D.
And that's all it needed to be. My only complaint with the film was the setting. As the saying goes about westerns, the setting is a central character. I wanted more sweeping shots of Kirby inspired Asgard. A lot more. What we did get was great, but the film makers should have, uh, hammered on the scale of Asgard more than they did.
I do have a complaint about the theatre I saw it in. They had 22 minutes of ads (only two movie trailers) before the movie. I'll never go there again.
New Zealand Post has a redirection service that's geared specifically for purchasing in the states and having it shipped to N.Z. cheaper (http://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop). It goes through a redirection service in Beaverton, Oregon (since Oregon doesn't have a sales tax). I would venture that Australian Post has something like it. If not, you can set it up yourself. I have friends here in Wellington that use the same service in Beaverton to maintain a US address for their business. Shouldn't be hard to do.
Traveling back in time would only be possible if time was a background condition of the universe and not an emergent property. I don't have time to write out a proper explanation, but you can understand this if you understand what's involved in entropy.
I gave my kids (11 and 6) uncensored access to the net as an experiment. The computers they use are in the living room so I didn't expect anything too extreme, but I did expect that we'd have conversations about content. And we did. After several days I insisted they did something other than watch Minecraft videos.
How much effort would it require to move the "left overs" out of Lagrange? Or do we start fusing the remains at Lagrange to start building a habitable facility?

So what? I use CS2 and while some of the new toys are cool, they're still just toys. There a some tools that might make my workflow a little faster, but nothing that is revolutionary. Certainly nothing that's worth the cost.
Also, the OP isn't betting his company on luck/hope. The software he purchased works. So where's the bet?
The quoted text about the Anton character is downright funny when you consider how Card has gone on record saying that he doesn't believe in subtext in writing.
Firefox with Adblock and Noscript. No Flash or java installed on the OS. Chrome (with its built-in flash) for Youtube and the handful of sites I visit that require flash. leave FF running for weeks, never uses more than 300 meg. With this approach I no longer have any stability issues. The only downside is my kids bitching about not being able to play Minecraft. Oh the pain!
Huh. Win 7 Ultimate runs like a slippery fish on my netbook. In fact it runs so well that I'll not even bother installing a linux OS. Not trolling, just saying. Of course when I bought the netbook it ran like shit. Then I wiped XP and all the HP bloatware and installed Win 7. I was going to make it multi-boot, but since it runs so smoothly (and on 1 GB of ram) it's just not worth the hassle.

"can't be easily tested"..? Nonsense, there is NO test. String theory isn't a theory as it isn't testable.
Other end of the galaxy?! Come on, the Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million LY away.

Someone once told me that backups were a flat circle.
Sounds like a Rudy Rucker novel.

The answer the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin.
Take a fucking razor to this pile of shit. How about some serious money and effort gets put towards MOND? Stop chasing ghosts.

You mean sort of like what Good Ol Games does with old PC games and Dosbox?
Please explain how this is workable when a very modest move in this direction would head off much of the social unrest in this country.
Easy. The U.S. falls into unending internal warfare while other countries adopt this solution.

United implies some sort of commitment. How about "The States of Apathy".
Will they tweet the attack the USS Liberty? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
So much nay saying and negativity. And all of it pointing to straw men. I wonder what the next generation will find despicable.
