Do a google search for 'gothic cathedrals' and 'gothic churches'. You'll see that the church wanted places of worship that would transcend all limits of human perception and give church-goers a feeling of the infinity/eternity of God; The huge arched ceilings, massive stained glass windows, and gold painted walls. Construction of such buildings took over a hundred years; four or five generations of builders. The reward for the builders was for their families to receive a steady salary and to be buried in the church graveyard for free.
Don't forget the Egyptian pyramids, the Great wall of China, and Mont. St Michel (which took 500 years to complete).
Methane is the second-most abundant greenhouse gas. The world's agricultural livestock produce about 17 percent of the methane in the atmosphere. A byproduct of digestion, cattle and other ruminant animals produce methane when organisms in their stomachs called methanogens break down fiber in grasses and grains they eat.
My favorite DOS game was The Incredible Machine, which was a puzzle game where you had to solve a problem by placing balloons, fans, motors, conveyor belts, and other components in order to have a working machine.
Sadly, I've never seen a 3D version.
And people still cry out for a 3D version of Leisure Suit Larry:)

As long as you don't take it with you, when you go sky-diving. These guys are working on something similar to NASA, but they haven't quite built the prototype scramjet car engine perfected yet.
You can also hack many of those games that are available on satellite/cable networks. In those games where the entire game state is displayed on the screen at the same time, it's possible to grab a frame off the screen, analyze it (convert the screen image into a logical representation), run it through an emulator and use a small amount of AI to find the optimum solution. At the very least, you avoid having to fork out money every time you want to play the game. The real benefit is when there is a prize. Then you only need to play the game twice (first time to get the levels, second time to enter the optimum solution) to get a return for your money.

We have some anti-litter signs on the bus-stop outside our flat. The amount of the fine was originally in red ink, but has now faded to a glossy reflection.
Aberdeen, Scotland is a city, just about built exclusively from granite. Supposed to be that the extra radiation creates a slightly higher than average incidence of leukemia in children. Although it always felt safer in a building with twelve inch thick granite walls than in stucco/wooden frame buildings.
We apologise for the delay on platform one, as there are the wrong type of Lego bricks on the line, and we are still waiting for the line to be completed.
Remaining on the ground combines all the disadvantages living on the surface of a planet with all the disadvantages of orbiting a star and all the disadvantages of being inside the orbit of an asteroid belt - continuously.
A keyboard is a two way communication device. The inputs are the keys you press, and the outputs are the num lock/caps lock and scroll lock lights. In theory, you could use a keyboard
to communicate with another person using Morse code with the space bar to send and the num lock light to receive them.

Just a Google search - as much as the biological sciences interest me, 3D graphics is much more my scene.

If it's not down too far underwater, it might be worth salvaging and auctioning on E-bay.
Not at all - I'm still learning to see what slashdot readers find funny and not.

I thought that was the purpose of slashdot subscriptions.
I thought that had been superceded by the Cosmic G-String theory?

will we have 'spider' like cameras that can crawl along the ground and hide under rocks.
Will we have 'hawk' or 'eagle' gliders that attempt to take out these reconaissance gliders?
They've done this with "hand-held ultrasound viewers.
Until all the development of new programming languages stops, I'm sticking to punch cards.

I thought noeGNUd looked pretty cool. Having a multi-player version with a high-score page could make things interesting.

That won't be such a bad thing. At least they will be moving about - a holographic fitness centre would be really cool, and it would save space.
