My biggest complaint about computing is that my brain->computer interface (hands to keyboard that is) is VERY low bandwidth and VERY high latency.
I'd just love to be able to type without using my hands - years of keyboarding have left with with a lot of repetitive stress injuries. And I'm only 22 : (
But how would we ensure that you would do the job when the time came? I think it would be better to pay some person's family after they completed the job.
Send the people who made this movie on the one way trip.
..then evidence for a second genesis would await us, providing a heaven-sent opportunity to compare two bio-systems..
Pet Peeve #1977832: I hate it when they use overt religious terms in scientific articles. Keep religion relegated to where it belongs and keep science scientific.
No kidding, if the opportunity was heaven-sent, why do we have to do all the work?
..."adaptive" information technology is about. It has something to do with "Darwinian reference architectures", she suggests, and also with "modularising" and "integrating", as well as with lots of "enabling" and "processes"... Microsoft's Bill Gates talks of "seamless computing". Other vendors prefer "ubiquitous", "autonomous" or "utility" computing. Forrester Research, a consultancy, likes "organic".

Except for the Darwin part, it sounds like the usual, meaningless biz lingo.
No kidding. I couldn't help but wonder why he lost other than the script demanded it. He should have been able to throw off that falling collumn without a problem. After all, he tells Luke that the size of an object doesn't matter.
02. The Rancor is CG and looks disgusting as ever.
I doubt it, the Rancor, and the score of other aliens looked so great because they were real, physical objects. Lucas's idea of CG is to turn everything into a cartoon.
There was an article in wired a while back about how Japanese call girls used digital camera cell phones to check out potential clients and to show the clients what they would be buying without having to physically meet first.
Nevertheless, it is a fairly safe bet that any theatrically released Disney animated feature will be based on an existing story(out of copyright:), and include a list of characters determined by formula.(One true-blue sidekick, approximately two, but possibly more, comic relief tag-alongs, and one villain's sidekick whose role likely spills over into comic relief tag-along. There might be as many as three comic tag-along villains.) I could probably do more, if I kept at it.
There is more comic relief than movie to be relieved from.

You do realise that the US Doctor Who fan club dwarfs it's British, Canadian, Australian, etc counterparts by an order of magnitude?
Not surprising since the US population is an order of magnitude greater than those places as well.

What about the exploration of the (possible) oceans on Europa?
You want to get those Monoliths mad at us? Don't you remember: Europa, attempt no landings there.
Slick Willie? Now that's something I haven't heard in a while. Forgot about that nickname. : )
But anyway, George Bush makes Slick Willie look like superglue.
as long as those public areas include Senators, Governors, and other local elected officials offices where the public can provide oversight.
I'm all for watching elected officials, it should be an [bad pun]Open Office[/bad pun]
