  1. Re:Links, etc on Negative Index of Refraction Created · · Score: 1
    I read the Space Daily article. It is a well written piece but I was horrified to see this.

    The UCSD physicists said they expect their discovery to open up a new subdiscipline within physics and produce an array of commercial applications for this material, on which the university has applied for a patent.
    damn.

    Those two main announcers piss me off but Bill Nye is cool, man. He actually knows what he's talking about, and he doesn't say much. But those two guys ugh!

    I agree with you on Julie Roberts winning Best Actress (though I did like the movie I just didn't think she deserved an Oscar for acting the lead role) I disagree with you on Gladiator. I really liked Gladiator. The whole grand vision of it and the painstaking attention to detail got me hooked.

    The reason Oliver! won was because Oliver! appeals to a more broad audience. It has a goofy story and the star is an orphan which is so sad (sarcasim). 2001 is a movie who have enough grey matter to understand what points Clarke was making about humanity and technology.

    "Modern" movies? I guess you don't include most Anime as modern movies. Most of the good Anime are often open ended mainly stemming for a Japanese thing that if you close a story, it's dead.

    Convert them? The difference now is that Jews (and other religons) have a firm holding in civilazation and we simple will not allow it. Jews never did anything missionary like and we never will.

    Enslave them? I hope by the time we do explore/colonize/whatever enslave won't even pop into peoples mind as an option.

    Kill them? Only if they shoot first.

    Being a teenager I should know. Hell i love arcades and maybve I'll explain.

    1. The arcade controls I like. Better than what I would use at home. Besides I love the point and shoot games.
    2. I don't own every system. There are games in there that I don't have are can't have because I don't own the system.
    3. I get to show off infront of my friends. 'Nuff said
    4. Multiplayer games work so much better because everyone has their own screen and no fighting over the better conroller

    Is this enough reasons?

    I have a question? What kind of games are they going to network. Racing Games for sure. 2-player fighter games are not going to work. How about Quake-like games? Those would be a huge hit. Team sports games like NFL Blitz woul work. Each player a different football player.

    This could defintely work, all that matters is how much is it going to cost/

  22. It needs to get cheaper on Build Your Own Set Top Box · · Score: 1

    What happens is that things need to get cheaper. While I like building things I'm not gonna shell out $$$ to build one of things. Media-Box is something I might use for its freeness but book PCs are a bit expensive and megahertez requirement (500Mhz plus) I can' get some cheapo computer. Though the popularity of using computers as something other than a normal computer (MAME cabinets, MP3 Jukeboxes) means that things will get better.
