I remembered reading a while back a theory that the Arc of the Covenant was actually a battery. This (so the article claimed) was the reason that when people touched it they died. It was an interesting theory.
I did my best to find a link to such a writeup, but Google keeps sending me to sites about UFO's. I can't speak for the validity of the site, but here is a mention of the theory. Right down to him referring to the Arc as 'Old Sparky'.
hey guys, let me tell you something, I installed this program called Kazaa that one of my cousins told me about - he said it was really cool. Well you know that thing had macross episodes on it when I typed "macross" in the search box! I didn't find a website, but a big file that was in fact an episode! You know what? I clicked on it, left for a day's shopping in town, and when I came back home, kazaa told me a lot of people visited and copied it! My upload area was so full, how could that be? And what does all this mean?
Of course 'working' is a relative term in many of today's jobs. Let's be honest. Show of hands as to how many people are posting right now on their company's time? Just because you're at work doesn't mean that you're working. I decided a couple of years ago to take the Dilbert Principle of inverse telecommuting to heart. It's amazing how much liesure time you can free up when taking advantage of work time to handle personal matters.
Another intersting link for the masses, this one with some details on his brain and the studies that they've been doing on it. Turns out he really was a bit different then the rest of us.
Wake me when they start to have glasses that can fire lasers into your eye to display images. It could possibly bypass the cataract and other ocular anomalies.
Bypass? Sounds like that would get rid of the cataract. Might even fix your near/far sightedness as well.
"If SciFi was concerned about profitability, they should have started cranking out the merchandise..."
Just FYI, this is one of the reasons it's (suspected) that SF dropped the show. The show is produced by Henson - therefore all rights to that show go to... yep, Henson.
Basicly it cost about 1.4 mil per ep to make. Henson footed half, SF half. SF got exclusive rights to air (no syndication) for a couple years so they had an immediat turn around. Henson gets the rights to syndicate the show and sell merchandise.
From Sci-Fi's point of view, it's better to air psychic guy for an hour at couple hundred K an ep then Farscape at 700K. Look at it as cost per viewer for them.
Oh yeah, I am Farscape! =)
"By encouraging people to act a certain way and getting a reward, even if it is in an fake world, it does have consequences in the real world."
So we should be on the lookout for a mother sueing EA when her son gorges himself to a heart attack and she blames it on the games influence.
Nah, the media would never pick up on that story.
What? I can stand over here and watch it..? What about over here? I can't possibly watch it from over HERE can I?!
I can see the commercials now:
*moves to corner of the room* "Can you see me now?" "Really?" "Good."
*moves to back of the room* "Can you see me now?" "Really?" "Good."
I want to not only be able to freely shift in time, but also be able to shift content in space
So you won't be happy until you can shift both time AND spacE? Geez - you're not asking for much.
Strap one to the back of your hand...

Ok, so it's not the newest idea around - but I wonder if they could ever come out with one that would strap your hand in some way. It'd be nice to have mouse control by moving my hand around without moving my fingers from the home positions of the keyboard.
Of course typing fast would blow that idea out of the water. Still, I want some way that I can move my mouse around with out having to reach waaaaay over there to the side of my keyboard.
Which brings up the question of whether or not one would need headlights on a car that could go at the speed of light.
My answer to that was always that you could use them, cut them on - wait a second and then accelerate. You're screwed if you turn though.
Though, then again - you're probably screwed if you don't.

That's nothing, check his ICQ # - it's over a million. For shame.
Damn lawyers. (Or, in this case - first year law student lawyer wannabes)
That's nothing, give me ten minutes and I'll have a static Net Hack version of the battle available.
You've never seen do many 'D's before...

Seriously, since it was the 70s, they could have at least put John Holmes and Ginger Lynn on that bad boy...

Of course the person that actually wrote those transcripts could (under current laws) not let them be published until 2072...
Glad that someone was thinking carefully. =)
