You want nasty vampires? Watch Being Human (either the British or Canadian version). The main character is a decent vampire but he's the exception to the rule. And well, he's not all that nice as you will see in the early episodes.
Those dark corners sound like they may not have been infected by advertising, youtube, facebook and twitter! The good internet! As it was in 1991. Ah those were good times. The internet now is barely worth bothering with.
I'm only 47 but I do the same. I am in firm control of my own computer. In the good old DOS days I installed all my own software. As for Windows/Linux I only install them if I have manual control. I grew up with computers and am not paranoid about them. What I am concerned about are the new breed who don't think like us old hobbyists.
Indeed. Although Arthur C. Clarke had one nit to pick with the movie. Apparently Bowman should not have held his breath when opening the hatch to get back in to Discovery after HAL refused him.
This is just gruesome and sick. I agree it will turn more people into psychos than occur naturally. Of course one could use this to ID these creeps and scoop them up into asylums.
I'm surprised that mathematical symbols such as greater and less than (which when used sequentially mean "does not equal") get stripped out. Especially seeing as I chose to post as plain text and not HTML (which loves those symbols). Still more suprising is that I had to reply to my own post as I could not find a edit link.
FYI: Phasers could be set to kill which leave a corpse and they could be set to disintegrate which is what the "research" is about. Of course Kirk and never ordered the use of the latter setting.
Refreshing to hear someone espousing a view that isn't self centred. He's damn right. What humans need is LESS energy and more respect for the Universe we live in.
Odd, I'm the first to comment that he wrote a story about exactly this. I'm not sure he originated the idea or was inspired by a scientific article but it seemed noteworthy.
You./ers do _know_ who I'm talking about or am I the only one here not in his teens?

Yeah right, thanks Bill for dumbing down computers. Just what we need, more "help" from this guy...
That ought to work.

All these planets have been identified by their gravitational effects. It's time to set a higher and more ambitious goal. To actually SEE a planet.

Not to mention that it seems that 8 tracks will outlive MP3's.

Clarke also came up with the idea that Saturn's core might be a diamond IIRC.
Yes we are! What's more fun than arguing about technology after all.
Drat. And to think I could be making _big_ money if I only had kept up to date with my Operating System and it's preferred browser...

Ugh.
Pet the small furry pussy. Hmmm that could have some very different meanings...
Back in the 70's my dad bought a calculator that also computed biorythms. Sounds like this idea is not new.

And that's the problem in a nutshell.

Humans will have to admit that we're just one of the animals.
