Humanoid robots are great as they can use the same tools as humans can and can more easily relate to humans. Why build several $5,000 domestic chore robots that need special tools when you can buy one $20,000 humanoid robot that does all of the shores, need no special tools to clean the toilets, do the dishes, and vacuum the floor except the cheap tools humans already use. Plus make it so you can shag the robot so that makes it win-win... Kinda hard to have a relationship with a Roomba....
Turn everyone with one into a info savant and idiot. Only then will we be able to reach the holy grail of computing, "LOL cats IN yur head, messin' up yur mew-ons"
I would like a Ring around the earth like they had in the series Gundam 00. With three main towers to beyond Geo sync, and fricking huge!!! Of course if one of the towers should fail.... LOOK OUT BELOW!!!!
Don't build cities in the orbital direction of the towers on the ground, cause it sucks to be them.....
Reminds of the Radio tower in Fringe last night that was being used to mess with people's senses to make ugly mutants look normal. Maybe the answer lies in Mutating the residents so they HAVE to live under it otherwise they will be shunned as weird looking mutants......
It is free and in you wish you could be free of it. Just like the search in Windows Vista I find myself screaming at the damn thing saying "I see the files in the window next to my search window and you goddam thing is still not finding it!!!!! WTF windows!" I Loathe the way it runs an extra process to "re-index" the "search database" on you hard drive ALL the bloody time. So you computer goes 10% slower so if can shave off 20 seconds the next time you search you "My Documents" folder for an old Word Doc. Meanwhile you end up losing 20 minutes a day in productivity because you system runs slow as hell.
I have learned when doing Windows XP updates when I rebuild a friend's computer to check the "Never show this update again" in the windows update screen. I just wish there was a button labeled "Complain to Windows development about this feature and why it sucks".
I can get this is the middle of futt buck Kansas but they can't get it on the freaking ISS? Maybe someone shoudl call DirecTV and ask them to send some installers up and mount a few dishes on the damn thing.... Even if you you had to put a tracking dish on the thing it is doable and would provide a nicer link to the ISS plus DirecTV could use it for all sorts of Free bragging rights for their commercials,.
Especially in Third world countries where there is plenty of sun, not much food and not much to do other than subsistence living,. At least it would be enough to get a lot of starving humans through the dry famine months that they get in thrid world countries near the equator.
Sure their skin would be green, but that beats starving to death.
One where at the end you gun down your ally from the first half of the game like a punk when you think he has betrayed you, then you get surrounded by soldiers and the credit take over with gunshots being heard behind them....

Gundam does outerspace sci-fi better than trek or wars, well except for the giant robot thing....
Wonder What??? Swan What???
Is the next big step, ie. Cyberbrains....

What about all the references to Belgium people be really bad people in the UK, they say it all fo the time and there is no one complaining....
The GBA version is the best in my opinion!
Disaster Area uses rather larger nuclear devices for their bass...
How many people on slashdot still run XP to avoid the bloat of Vista/7.
Quite a few I would imagine....
Take a Rigid Caron nano-tube that is one LY long and firmly grasp one end and wave it around wildly, the far end of it will be travelling FTL!!!!
Of course how heavy is a 1LY long rigid carbon nanotube?
And that is running Windows Update and it isn't that good at doing that....
My mom read me bedtime story books that she "borrowed" from my aunt. I guess it is time for mom to go to the slammer.
Burn the Libraries down, it worked oh so well in Alexandria Egypt!
Damn Papyrus Copytheft Jackasses from 2,000 years ago!
You would need to put everyone in a suit filled with inert gas like Argon and then charge them for both the noble gas and the o2.
I thought it was Asuran....
That's not how DNA works in the movies and TV.....
All they need is some sort of layer that would allow Linux to use Windows Drivers.

No, God just invented them with the ability to do this to confuse us all. God loves gettin' his jollies off keep mankind eternally confused.
