I've always been amazed by the controller that came with the Atari 2600. My friends and I beat the crap out of it for years and not only did it survive, it barely showed any wear.
I hope that the Navy's new Rail Gun doesn't require a brief but critical period to charge before firing, and I hope that is does not require all non-essential power systems to be deactivated, leaving the ship powerless and adrift for a short time after firing... (wiki)
Shatner's short-lived TV series "Tech Wars" also had a great 3D UI, but damn'd if I can find a useful link to a page about the show... It starred William Shatner and Greg Evigan.
Hey Warner Bros, this will/would undoubtedly sell well on iTunes. It would sell even better if you sell it on iTunes in High Def.
Hey Apple, selling this on iTunes in HD would be a great way to pioneer and promote mass distribution of HD content and would also work well at selling/promoting your new set-top box (the iTV thingy). So please convince Warner Home Video that you both stand to make a lot of money with this, not to mention the amount of buzz (read, free publicity) that this would create.
The social stigma is somewhat warranted. True, there is nothing wrong with meeting someone online, but many of these people fail to realize that they truely don't know someone if they've only communicated via text or voice. Half of human communication is visual...
The kids that are buying what is approved by their parents, then trading it to get what they really want are actually learning some valuable lessons that will help them later in life, like bargaining skills, selling/communication skills, nunchuck skills,...
The kids that are not trading, are learning how not to think for themselves.
Ever since I watched Looker back in 1981, I've been waiting to see if/when technology would catch up to the capabilities in the movie. We're not quite there yet, but close enough to make me really nervous.
While I do not support the NSA phone call tracking system, I can't say that I blame them for "asking" telcos for the information. The database can be very helpful in fighting terrorism. I'm only against the program because it could be abused very easily.
But what about the frelling telcos that gave up the information with out requiring a warrant? Shouldn't we be more pissed off at them? After all, they were not forced to open up their records - the did it voluntarily.
Time for me to buy an RV and some mobile TV transmitting equipment so that I can stay on the move while broadcasting punk music vids and antiestablishment messages.
>>...the Big Bang has not been scientifically proven (hence "theory") and the existence of God has not been scientifically disproved.
This statement is doubly flawed.
1) A scientific theory cannot be proven. It can only be disproven. It gains respect when repeated attempts to disprove it fail, but it's never 100% "true."
2) A religious belief cannot be disproven. It cannot be tested. Thus it's always 100% "true." (Or 0%)
Doubly flawed? Given assertions 1) and 2), the statement appears to be obvious and possibly redundant.
Before deciding on a final price (or even a minimum price) for selling your child, make sure you look at more than just the $ value that you place on the child. Also consider the following:
- Cost of extra food and doctor visits during the pregnancy
- Hospital costs during the birth
- Cost of Food, clothing, diapers to date
- Cost of room renovation to build your nursery
- Cost of day care to date
- etc.

Just keep Wesley Crusher (and those with "clever nicknames") the hell away from this lab. I'm sure they'd fowl things up in no time.

Bugger! You beat me to it. Now build me an arc...
... I am anti-copyright, anti-trademark, anti-patent; basic anti-intellectual property of any kind.
Since you are so adamantly opposed to copyright etc., then I would expect that you would put a copyright release statement at the end of your posts.

And don't forget, detection becomes much more difficult when the android does not know that they are not human...
And every once in a while, 'X' actually does mark the spot.

Hey Brain, what are we going to do tomorrow night?
The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to tripple boot OSX/WinXP/Linix!
Narf!!

A qubit! What's a qubit?

Cute little space opera...
The rest is just a hyped up swash-bucking flick in space polished with Hollywood Magic
Yeah. If it were more than that, it would probably have been successfull.
I came here looking for an argument, but this is merely contradiction...
