Look back at "trouble with tribbles" the klingons are basically mongoloid makeup applied to give a bunch of guys fu man chu beards... kinda timely with politics of the day. The klingon got more russian as the 80s movies came to pass, and also got their own language (which i believe has taken off in a really big way).
Michael Dorn's forehead is the final evolution of trek makeup. Much like the difference between the season 1 red dwarf cardboard sets and the final season sets with all their elaborate "lived in" detail.
On the other hand, shows like "buffy the vampire slayer" and "dark angel" had remarkably consistent, convincing and affordable special effects from start to finish. Probably because Joss and James insisted on starting and ending well.
If he had been there would be a plasma screen and a playstation in the back somewhere.
Along with built in equipment for Davros' favourite hobby.
And a flame paint job.
Davros: "When I used to go cruising, people used to pick on me for my blind crippled body, and my face that looked like a pruned up version of The Master. I used to get kicked around until I had to yell HAVE PITY ON ME! Now I have confidence built into my ride. And a death ray. And a pingpong table. Thanks MTV Pimp My Ride!"
That is the most insightful thing I have ever heard on slashdot. Since this is about a story that was reposted just 36 hours after it was initally posted (which must be a world record) it's definitely ontopic.
Unfortunately, it also opens up the possiblity that the editors have gotten so sick of the slashdot crowd that they are actively trolling us by reposting popular articles, rather than using slashback.
If I was caught napping and missed the Hybernation story (sorry) I would really want to hear about it again On Slashback. I'm a biochemistry honours student and i'm really interested in what kind of changes at the cellular and molecular level would go on in a non-hybernating mammal when exposed to H2S. I'd be overjoyed if I got told about an article as important as this one had been overlooked by me... so long as they told me through the proper channels like slashback.
No longer use my nose The kittens run away from me and hide Weird things between my toes And people often think something has died.
I climb a lonely hill On the Boulevard of Bad Hygiene I frighten CowboyNeal But he could learn to love it if he tried.
Something has died? Something has died.
Something has died? Something has...
My B.O.'s the only thing that walks beside me. My B.O. makes strong men think of suiciding. My Odor kills the flowers and the pine trees. Smells like, something has died.
I'm walking down the line diners flee the buffet so that's fine so I can take my time And eat onions, cabbage and... *sniff* something has died.
I can shower, fine. Or I could on go slashdot tonight. Closed window, pull the blinds. But the neighbours think something has died.
Something has died? Something has died.
Something has died? Something has...
My B.O.'s clings to surfaces behind me My B.O.'s beyond a mortal understanding Sometimes they wish someone would put me in a... um... Plastic bag, something has died.
I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Bad Hygiene City evacuates in it's pants and something has died.
My B.O. is worse than a Bush e-con-omy. My B.O. gets UN weapons inspectors antsy. My Odor could be casus beli if they could find me. I think, Something has died.
have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have I've been hunted and wanted in the exterminated sense. Seismic mines for my jedi mind. Look at the times. Sick is the mind of the sentator that's behind all this conflict destructive. enough is too much as planets explodin'. Tempers flaring with Windu.

But how dare you try to blame me for what you helped to set up. E chu ta! I hope you get eaten by the Sarlac for that. Remember when Darth Maul died and you sorta wished it was me?

That's pretty wild. The presentation of the project is that they're mechanics who have bought powerloader parts and done a "junkyard wars" style development cycle.
Yet the tone of the site is very sure that this will work. One of the most interesting assertions is that with a human piloting the mech, balance is not the problem. Turning the legs enough is.
They've also claimed to have a "gyroscope rig" on the engine, to turn it as the mech turns. That sounds reasonable, as the engine is just there to provide pressure for the hydraulics, and having effectively a large gyroscope bolted directly to the mech frame would make it hard to turn in one or two directions.
That's one short generation! What is the EVIL Doctor planning?! He must be stopped! Somebody call UNIT and get... jeez it must be Lieutenant General (Rtd) Lethbridge-Stuart by now.
That's because using torque to generate torque is easy to calculate.
If it's easy to calculate, it's easy to model. if it's easy to model then its less risky to build, and you know why it doesn't work when it doesn't work.
Of course there are a few undergrad mechatronics engineers at my university that want to do what you say. Let them see the math. If they crack the math, then I'll sign up to pay them for my first hardsuit.
What terrible new form of loafing will arise to take its place?
Leaning on brooms could perhaps hurt one person if they fell off their broom. Hanging out by the watercooler could injure half a dozen in a freak watercooler accident. Slashdot slashdots whole websites that companies depend on to get their message out, taking down the original source of information and replacing it with reams of discussion.

You can't just grab a P4 chip and throw it on a satellite.
What about cubesats? They seemed to be a way around the red tape when they were reported on slashdot a while ago. Using unmanned launchers and cheap disposable sats allows you to get up there fast, do your mission and throw away the junk at the end.
Good point. It would be neat to visit the target, and I'd like to know where it is, so I don't run across it and get it stuck in my propeller.
Good points.
Doom 3 zombies disintegrate save resources in much the same way.
One good thing about the Anne Rice books is that they went to movies and stayed in movies, and never had to deal with a TV budget.

But I wish they'd hit the taco bell target on one trip home.
Sure, I won't get a taco, but the thing's been built. It really should be used.
Well, here's to their safe return and the many long months of eating spinach, drinking milk and taking calcium pills as they rebuild their strength.

Spreadsheets that don't calculate. Powerpoint presentations that dont communicate. Word documents that delete whole directories of company reports.
What next? I get locked out of Access? My Briefcase falls apart and spills My Documents on the floor?
They have a way to let people see an article they missed. It's called "Slashback."
Not using slashback and just reposting it is a form of trolling. Before I sound too much like a hypocrite, I'll refer you to my previous post
Good point about the low temp.
How about doing what no animal can do, and clean ourselves externally and internally before hybernating under aseptic conditions?
