All of what you see and hear in the trailer is actual gameplay. The game is a giant sandbox that lets you switch between creatures and objects at massively different scales, from fundamental particles to large constructs of the universe... all while reading tidbits of existential text, markov chains, and finding clips of Alan Watts recordings to listen to. Every object you "become" also gets added to a library where you can read more information about it.
It's certainly not going to appeal to everyone, but it's fun for what it is trying to do and show you. And it's not, as one comment said a "VRML demo for $60", it's a simple $15 sandbox that tries to make you think.
Selective breeding is a lot more predictable than directly twiddling genes. There are a lot of unforeseen side-effects.

Bill Nye would disagree with you. Specifically, here is a quote from when he changed his mind about GMO's:
"The thing is, genetically modified food has no effect on us. That is to say, there is no difference between it and organically raised food. This is scientifically provable. It’s certainly provable to my satisfaction, and that’s the most straightforward thing about it, to see if it’s still nutritious and see if it has any allergic effect, and it absolutely does not. In fact, in general, all of these foods are more nutritious."
There's further details in his recent book Undeniable about why there aren't "unforeseen side-effects" from GMO foods. I think anyone with doubts or curiosity about the subject (and evolution in general) should read it.
Also am I the only one who read the pdf? I didn't see anything about any lasers. All they did was pure statistics; # of lights appeared at given time vs # of cars that drove on the 67th highway. This could be pure coninsidence.
It says in the PDF:
Members of the chase team observing the mystery lights viewing area with binoculars could not identify car headlights, but did observe a 1 mW laser that was being shone towards their location.
Although it doesn't say if the laser behaved like the other lights; my assumption was that it was just used to establish direct line-of-sight
I wouldn't know. I would say no because the key and ISO showed up in newsgroups at least 2 to 3 months before XP was released (There's even a picture of someone holding the rip in front of Microsoft's X days until XP launches sign). I myself had it one month before...Not that I kept it or anything;P
I'm sure Microsoft got wind of the key long before anyone actually used it and I would guess whoever may have gotten the key was issued new a new one.
Yeah it is; that's odd though, because I've tried it on at least 6 different machines, and it refused to install on all of them until I changed the key.
Did you just use the Windows Update to install SP1? Perhaps that works, because I downloaded the entire SP1 and installed it offline.
Actually, it's not the fact that it's pirated that a service pack wont install. The service pack installer checks your CD key against known pirated keys.
The most well known XP Pro Corporate key (which had shown up on newsgroups months before XP was released) is banned. I've tried to install XP SP1 with it, and it just error's out. There are a few places on the net however, where you can find tutorials on how to change the XP CD key.
I would expect this new service pack does the same thing.
