  1. Re:Might be obscure... on FDA Set To Approve Products from Cloned Cows · · Score: 1

    Aaaah, good old Underground. Actually, they figured the cost of chemicals and overhead to create a clone was $80 000 (reducable by 25% when cloned in bulk), and the average person ate $120 000. Way higher profit margin.

    My big worry is stuff like Estro-Gin, or Tastee Ghoul.

    Tastee Ghoul. Are you a people person?

  2. Twilight Zone: Examination Day on Experts Fear Future Will be Like Sci-Fi Movies · · Score: 1

    Poor little Dickie Jordan.

    Terminated because his intelligence exceeded the government allowed quota for the time.

    About the scariest thing I saw, apart from The Cube, and the original Max Headroom.

  3. Re:10 that got it right on 10 Terrible Portrayals of Technology in Film · · Score: 1

    As silly as it sounds, a kid's anime pic - Digimon: The Movie. There's a part where his computer goes down, and he has to re-establish a dialup connection on a Windows box. Yes, he did do it right on screen, and yes, the manual DNS he input does work (tried it).

    Not bad for something meant for kids (Better watching the 4 parts in Japanese though).

  4. Re:The UN on Imagine A UN-Run Internet · · Score: 1

    You forgot, they'd run a credit check on the patient before doing anything.

  5. Re:Beyond 2000 - originally Towards 2000 on BBC To Ditch "Tomorrow's World" · · Score: 1

    Beyond 2000 started out as "Towards 2000".

    As 2000 approached, they made the name change. I also believe it switched networks in Australia.

  6. Americans kids are getting fatter... on Bouncing UK Children Cause Earthquake · · Score: 1

    Check out the Centre for Disease Control's Height Weight charts. Particularly the explanitory notes. They used the old weights because American kids were getting fatter. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/nhanes/gcrevis ion.htm
