Notice that both moons move in a perfect horizontal line? So the camera was perfectly aligned at the time? Or ??? Did anyone else expect tumbling or rotation, however slowly?
I worked at a place where a data entry clerk smoked right by the computer. The system had CDC Hawks, 10Mb, 14" platters. Once a month, I cleaned the heads with Q-tips and a little spit. No, I am not kidding. If I didn't do this, the heads would crash on account of nicotine build-up. When the clerk left, I cleaned the office furniture, it being coated with the brown gunk.
Once you get into generalizations like that, it's more about human nature than religion. People behave well and behave poorly without regard to their religion or absence of same.
Thousands are already dying each year due to lack of insurance, or being victims of recission. The result? Most people see the need for serious change now, but town-hall meetings are choked with shrieking objectors.
I've seen the term 'personal supercomputer' so many times over the past 20 years. It's just baloney marketing.
What you have on your desktop RIGHT NOW is more capable than some of the original CDC machines. So what?
I think it's pretty amazing, actually, that a cellphone sized computer could be used to perform (and now, perhaps even automate - as in run an autopilot program) all the calculations necessary to control a spacecraft intended to fly to the moon and back.
If you like your life, but it currently sucks, how about an overdose of pills followed by cryonic suspension? Suicide in the face of debilitating disease is just an emphatic commentary on the current state of medicine. But medicine will get better.
Back in the mid-80s, Drexler's Engines of Creation had some things to say about reverse-engineered brains. From what I remember, a specialized nanomechanical processor could emulate a neuron in a fraction of the volume. The functioning of a human brain could be done in a package about a cm^3. The main concern was thermodynamics--how fast you could run the thing before heat became too much of a problem.
OK, here's another assumption: that we're stuck forever at homo sapiens. While I doubt that our species has much time left, the ones to come stand a better chance at long-term success.

Green cheese....
Here ya go: Flashblock, also available in fruity ie and minty chrome flavors.
Even if you can't use all the energy, there must be some way to bleed it off.

But, I have all sorts of hair growing out my ears. Why can't I hear!?
because of all the hair growing out of your ears?
No, they're counting on the false positives. Then you get a coupon for 10% off anything in the mall.
With MRI, CAT scans, etc, is this ghoulish exercise really necessary anymore?

Freezing essentially explodes the cell walls so there's nothing to revive.
Cells dehydrate.
Please keep in mind that thousands of people are walking around TODAY who were once frozen... as embryos.

But if it doesn't love you back, are you a sap?

The music companies have very little power over what Apple does.
They got Apple to abandon the single-price model.
1TB should be enough for anybody.

There's an app for that.
What about female aversion to mice? They aren't dangerous.

I keep telling FedEx, and HP, I ordered these notebooks. I just wasn't home to receive them.
dammit.
Downloaded music should count as free promo. Record labels themselves follow downloads to gauge popularity. Someone should clue the gov't in on this.
Ray Kurzweil is a brilliant computer scientist and brought us many improvements -- maybe even the invention of -- the electronic musical keyboard.
err... no. Electronic keyboards go back at least this far...Ondes Martenot

The telescreen was giving forth an ear-splitting whistle....
...sentimental hogwash!
