At work it is much easier to use keyboard shortcuts, because even though some of the software we use for writing reports don't allow even simple functions like cut and paste via a right-click, the keyboard shortcuts (i.e., CTRL-X and V) will work.
Of course, we also use software that won't allow word wrap over multiple lines. I think that cost extra.
Female names started in 1953. Male names didn't show up until '79. Way back in the past it was named after the partiuclar Saint's Day in which it showed up.

Same here. It could be said the movie is nothing like the book, but the book was nothing like the radio series, or the text adventure computer game, or any other incarnation that Adams came up with. In the story line, Adams even made the Guide itself nothing like the Guide (ie, Guide Mark II).
So I went into it not being "disappointed" it was not actually the book.

I agree nothing beats the Real Thing.
"Museums" was a poor choice of word. Any space a person cannot normally get to, whether it be because of security or fragility or locality, would be an ideal canidate to be "shared". The realtor idea was a good one.
Of course, Once the 3D model is generated, and once it becomes something I view, then it becomes an output system to me. My space is not interesting enough to generate a 3d model...
Educationally, people could truly "walk around" in a virtual museum. This is lightyears ahead of QuickTime VR(?) where one simply can rotate about one point and zoom in or out.
It's only going to work on stationary scenes, as that sleeping fellow showed us. Basically, anything from the Real World you want to "import" into VR will be much easier to do.
If anyone likes FPS, you could model a map based on real scenery.
Most inventions and technology came into being before people found a use for it. It just seems pretty darn cool if nothing else.

Open the garage door, HAL! I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Whatever happened to cyberspace as a virtual utopia? People start to inhabit it.
Silly, it's between Illinois and Ohio.

You just answered your own question...
Do they have the metric system? Do they know what the f--- a quarter pounder is?
Burger King better not find out they swiped their logo...
Don't you know a benchmarked kettle never gives output?

... if you were to volunteer yourself as a fuel source. Hoi. Speaking of embarrassing.
Dare I think the method of extraction would be painful and/or embarrassing.

Technobabble? Sounded perfectly logical to me...
Google search reveals: 23,900,000 for "Jesus"... 6,410,000 for "Beatles"... 251,000,000 for "Google". 'Nuff said.

Technically, you only need one Time Traveller's Convention.

Just replace "bionikleggen" with "machine" as per where I found it. I had to Google for it m'self.

Just promise me Shatner doesn't try to play Kirk...
Good Brian Regan impression. You beat me to it.
I thought if it was small enough you could just use a dab of toothpaste. Worked in my apartment for our posters. Sshhh... don't tell my landlord.
Wait... a... min-- you me-- (bites lip)
