You're welcome for the link. I too like the idea of nanotechnology and really hope to use it in my lifetime.
The invention of nanoassemblers that could assemble anything, including themselves, would likely be much more important and touch more lives than the invention of the transistor.
How about this: any place in the universe where the conditions necessary for life to arise, there is a possibility that life will arise. We (speaking for all life on earth) are in such a place.
If things were different enough that life didn't exist here, then nobody would be around to think that they were in a solar system that was too perfect to be accidental. But there would still probably be yet some other life somewhere else in the universe thinking "wow, what are the chances of us having this perfect solar system?"
Oh, and the earth's perihilion distance (closest point to sun) is 0.98 AU. The apheilion distance is 1.02 AU. The earth's orbit radius varies during its annual trek by way more than a few hundred miles.
You got to go to Expo '86? Damn.:-) My parents didn't let me go to with them to Expo '86. I was pissed off about not being able to go, and that's one of my earliest memories.
I also remember some other events that may have happened earlier on, but I'm only sure about the expo thing because of the year. There is one memory of a house and pond, but it seems like it's from "so long ago" that I'm not even sure it happened.

It also contains a handful of galaxies. :-)
Free as in Speech, or Free as in Beer?
Free as in splurge.
Yes, SC2 really was that great. It was fun, had good music, and hilarious alien dialog.
It depends. Sky One and BBC Two in the UK (I think) censor Simpsons episodes.
"[ name of character ] rips a clip into [ name of monster ]" ...exploding it like a blood sausage.
Now, aren't you glad you didn't turn off the Star Wars articles just to avoid seeing any possible spoilers?
Mod parent up Insightful.
...or die.
Carmack needs rocket fuel, badly!
You must not be very old, then.
AGHH! What the hell was that? I'm blind now!

I like the matrioshka brain theory.

In soviet russia, sex has you.
Sometimes I care very little, but could care less, for a modest fee.

Correct, the full name of course being Die, Valenti, Die.
So, it's german?
No. The correct sentence for example one would be "In Soviet Russia, mail opens YOU."
They might also say they could produce one baby a month with 9 women.
Yes. That'd be better than lugging a wacom tablet or something around with your laptop, if you wanted the best of both worlds.
Quoting simpsons at length without getting modded up as funny... that's a paddlin'.

Well, the keys ARE pretty close togethor.
Is this the "element 0" of fabled lore?
What software are they using? Why, the newly rereleased Star Control 2, of course.
