But then you could look at what pixels don't change between two close together. That's even easier than grabbing them with a good amount of time. I suspect they have something more complicated at work here.
I have yet to meet a woman who looks at Halo, and says "I want to play too".
While I have not had that experience, I do know one who was organizing a Halo tournament in my area last year.
It all depends on the individual.
Humans have not stopped evolution. This is impossible. We've simply drastically altered the forces at work.
and remember: Evolution works both ways. It's still evolution if humans gradully turn back into apes. That's why darwin didn't like the term evolution for his theory. Because people think that means it only creates "higher" forms from "lower."
We get far enough into this tecnology we can reach teh point where a computer will need no peripials and we'll just plug you into it. That would be cool and a bit creepy.
If humans ever did stick with a selective breeding program (selective mating works better than genocide, btw), note that it would take about 50 generations for easy results and 1000 generations for moderately difficult results. Selection is a slow process.
Dune, anyone?
A great book based on the foundation books is Psycohistorical crisis by Donald Kingsbury. Very much recommended. It's the foundation extremely far into the future (16 centuries after founding of second foundation).
This is great. The more telescopes we can get in orbit, the better. Especially those in different spectrums. There's so much data that the earth is being bomarded wioth constantly that is untapped. We're slowly getting more and more of this data and leaning so much about the universe because of it. I lok foward to the findings of this telescope.
recursive mirroring.

That's amazingly cool. It's a bit of a double mirror. It's reflective, and then you can point the image capture at you and have it shaped like you while you''re looking at the reflection of you in the balls. I wonder if we can figure out a way to get any more ways of mirroring involved there. What would happen if you pointed the camera at the mirror itself?
While living for 300 years is an interesting concept one of the strongest ramifications is going to be the world population. If we have people living that long, population is going to skyrocket. We're already running into problems in this area due to falling infant mortality, increasing fertility technology, and longer life expectantcy, this would generate nothing short of a worldwide crisis. The key is being able to make the transition from a high birth, high death society to a low birth, low death society without getting bogged down in what we have now, a high birth, low death society. The death rate comes from technology, but the birth rate is controlled by societal influences, a much more tricky thing.

well, if you could change the curveature of spacetime, wouldn't that do it, along with changing the value of the sum of the angles of a triangle?
I still use my Performa 600 runing system 7.5. I don't use it for anything except cheap arcade games, but I use it.
I think I need to move.

Yay penguins. And yes. They'd find something to sue you for.

Yes. The scifi channel has mostly crap shows. They need to bring back farscape and make more shows like that. And stargate. That's good.
How about this: .999... + .000...1 = 1
Yes, I know you can't have a new digit after the repeating digit, but it describes it so nicely.
