How about rotating the cabin? You could build a fueslage composed of conentric cylinders, seperated by hrydraulic fluid, and rotate the inner cylinder inside the outer one. The seats would have to change their angle relative to the rotation while it started and stopped, else you would feel like you were in a constant bank.
I know, wildly unfeasible, but it sounded cool when I thought of it.
Hardly. It's the law in Japan. Any child born to ethnically Japanese parents (such as former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori) is a Japanese citizen. If an American woman is visiting Botswana while pregnant, and has her American fathered child while there, then is the child Botswanan? No, the child is American. If the child is raised in Botswana, then you have a case. The initial post just said the Kasparov was born in Azerbaijan, not mentioning where he was raised. To be pedantic, one could say that he was a Soviet citizen, not a Russian or Azerbaijani one. I prefer to think that if his parents were from Russia, it is up to them to decide how to raise their child. I don't know where his parents were from, I was just making the point that the place of his birth has little bearing on his actual nationality. Does he live in Russia now? Does he hold Russian citizenship? If so, then he's a Russian.
Also, fuck you, you bastard. There's nothing racist about asserting a point about how nationalities are accessed. If anyone is racist, it's you, for jumping to the conclusion. Do the world a favor and choke yourself to death with your white hood, racist.
The second I have to divert my attention from whatever I choose to some kind of misguided barratry, it's money out of pocket. If the RIAA ever comes after me (I don't share music files), I'll charge them the going rate: $100,000/hr.
Hmmm... that really makes me wonder. Will they firewall this service, or have their routers redirect a certain amount of traffic to www.lds.org? I lived in Springville (Art City, my ass) for awhile. I wouldn't put it past 'em.
What's disturbing about Hastings? I used to live in Santa Fe, I thought it was a good place to grab hard to find used stuff, and their new selection wasn't half bad.
Actually, the AC started the flaming, but whatever. The point is that you have to suspend quite a bit of belief in order to buy the concept of the Matrix, ie that human consciousness can interface seamlessly with a computer generated world, and that intelligent machines have enslaved humanity, and that "free" humans and Agents can bend the laws of physics within the Matrix, and that Sentinels can fly around with no visible means of propulsion, etc. To get hung up on a detail like Smith taking over Bane seems pedantic and, well, stupid.
We are led to believe humanity survives in the matrix because the machines need a power source.
This is a red herring, I believe. It violates the 2nd Thermodynamic Law, for one thing. I think the humans supply power to the Matrix, but the machine intelligences rely on other sources. One of the machines in the animatrix, a female one, makes a comment analogous to "all sentience is sacred". There are competeing factions among the machines about what to do regarding the "human problem". Some, like Smith, would have them just exterminated. Others find this morally unacceptable.
If the machines don't understand emotion or free will, why did they bother to revolt against their human masters? Smith clearly hates humans and the Matrix, and would prefer them all destoyed. The Merovingian gets jealous, as does Persephone. These are sophisticated artificial intelligences, not simple machines. The fact that humanity continues to survive at all is a function of their mercy. If you haven't yet, go get the Animatrix. It answers a lot of these questions about the machines' motivations.

hmm, you're right! It doesn't say which kind of arms! So let's interpret it to mean the kind that grow out of our shoulders.
I know Levitra will help me throw a ball through a swinging tire.
He perks up once he's had his cocktail of virgin's blood.
I have it on good authority that day follows night. Your theory has been blown to pieces!

No, it doesn't. RTFA.
Hey, that was funny! Mod up someone.
Who is he an employee of, again?
Everybody knows that if a Mini and a unicycle mate, the offspring will be sterile.

Doesn't make him not one, either. If your parents are Japanese, it doesn't matter where you're born. You're Japanese too.
Nature beat us to it.

YHBT. YHL. HAND. Duh.
That explains the rolling. Not to mention the clawing and screaming.
Nice. Mod Funny please.
I think the architect is a compiler.
How do you know any differently? Smith is unique among observed Agents. You see any others like him?

Um, Smith isn't unique because he did something no other Agent has done? Don't really follow your logic there, man.
It can't, which makes this a SCIENCE FICTION FILM you dumbass.
