If this article tickles your fancy about just what's going on inside the human mind, may I suggest the wonderfully engaging set of lectures on human behavior given by Ropert Sapolsky as part of the Stanford University online lectures available at iTunes U.
The 10-times higher temperature assumes a maxwell distribution of particles. Bussard's electrostatic well generates a non-maxwelling distribution of particles at the core, which obviates that argument.
I agree for the most part. But occassionally an artist I do enjoy listening to will have an excellent stage performance whose audio goes beyond that the CD provides.
The Beach was definitely not another "Lord of the Flies" in that a whole group of people go savage. These people who went to the island were technologists, just like "Swiss Family Robinson", taking control of their environment to suit their needs. Certainly they were much more aesthetic than SFR was in melding their shelters and crops into the tropical landscape. But I think any remote island society that plays gameboys, listens to walkmans, dances to techno music, and uses chainsaws to cut down trees deserves the tag "technologists."

Check out Terra 2200. This one's dev status hasn't changed recently, but I keep checking the site anytime I've got an inclination for M.U.L.E. in 3D.
