I saw "The Life Aquatic" the other day, not exactly what I would call a good movie, but the use of CGI was excellent.
Instead of using it everywhere they could, it was only used when needed and if you didn't know any better, you wouldn't notice it at all. If sure people like my mother would be amazed by it and think it was real:P
Dude, enough pimping Unslung. I don't know how many times you have posted links for it in this thread. The scary thing is that you seem to be modded up everytime rather than getting modded redundant.
That was in response to the parent who claims that you place the word ass after a word you have an apostrophe in and if it doesn't make sense, said apostrophe doesn't belong.
You have raised several good points there, but one thing I have noticed you didn't take into account is our ability to manufacture with greater precision, your miniturised car would be even lighter than you suggested. Who wants a nasty heavy engine block made out of metal when you can build a diamonoid one for a fraction of the weight and capable of sustaining even higher pressures which in turn results in a higher power output.
Warning signs don't mean anything. Here in Australia, if you place a warning sign on a wet floor, you are admiting that you acknowledge the fact that there is a danger without exactly doing anything about it. If somebody slips, you just took full responsibility.
Not just a US specific mantra, here in Australia I have similar problems. I have my bachelors in computing and am pursuing my honours in same, I have a 2nd Dan in Taekwondo and predominately work in the security industry either as a security guard or crowd controller (read bouncer). Some stupid woman was going off at me because I checked the ID of her daughter simply to see if she was old enough, apparently I am supposed to be psychic and know she is old enough. As she walked away she made some smart arse comment about an IQ test.
I think it is more of a matter of how burning grass or any bio-fuel for that matter fits in with the carbon cycle. Burning of oil, coal and natural gas releases carbon that has been locked up underground for millions of years as opposed to grass which collects it from the air and thus isn't adding any more to current amounts.
Right. License was pretty poor wording on my behalf, certification is better. I wasn't exactly referring to a need for this, just that it could assist in removing some overhead for the companies involved in providing such services.
The launch needs to be taken place somewhere, I assume that these regulations are to cover craft leaving from American soil or those belonging to companies registered in the US.
There are another two scenarios, lessons could be learnt from predator, "Turn around, turn around" or "Want some candy?".
Much more humorous than the loathsome "I love you, you love me...". A T-Rex singing the latter would probably drive more people to suicide than it actually killed.
It seems many people here cannot think outside the box enough, "There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than are dreamt of in your philosophy". The reason why Neo could destroy the machines in the real world is because he has managed to get a step closer to enlightenment than the average bear. I said that here: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=64616&cid=6004 165 There is no easy way to fully describe how he could connect with the machines, all I can say is that it comes down to quantum physics.
As for Smith/Bane, think of it this way. A person who has the left and right hemispheres of their brain seperated surgically develop two sepereate personalities, both stemming from the one that existed before the surgery. Now what happens if we get a full brain and an empty brain, ie one with a conciousness and one without, we connect the two and the conciousness can pervade both spaces, now we kill off the old brain one neuron at a time, the conciousness will theoretically shift into the new brain. This is what happened to Bane when Smith assimilated him. The question is, did Bane have a connection back to the Matrix like Neo? The fact that the squids let him live seem to support that theory. Personally I have no problem with Bane/Smith and Neo having control over machines in the real world. It seems the n00bs would have been happy if we only had the first movie. To fully get the symbolism you need to be more leet both technologically and spiritually. I think the brothers may have alienated some viewers in that respect, but I for one loved all three movies, to be perfectly honest the best parts in the trilogy were the ones that posed difficult questions.

But... Where are the dupes?

So how long will it be until we start seeing products that augment perfectly healthy individuals?

Isn't ass?
That makes no sense either.
The GP was correct where Ad's is being used in place of advertisements.
"Run" may not be the best word for it BTW, but it was playable in the sense that you could use it, just not in the sense of any fun

Damnit, why does one never have the modpoints when they need it?
+1 funny
If we follow the convention of nano referring to 10^(-9) then a nanogenarian would be approx. 0.3 seconds after birth.
Are you sure it was going to wake you in 2211?
What about the Unix "y2k" of 2038?
There would be no cats resulting from this, only 1 or -1 legs respectively. You then add these to deformed cats until you have a normal cat again.
Feel free to educate me but I wasn't aware Wikipedia and e2 had readily available mobile access.

Step 2) Profit!
What would be the best way to manage the medical requirements for travel?
Would a sort of license work? This would save being rechecked for frequent flights.
Wake me in a few years, until then, I'm going back to playing EVE online.
Not just underwear, a towel must be a priority :P
