Hello, I am the former general Fred Mercasey of Ft. Oscdurity and recently I was relived of command. Not before I had transferred a large amount of C-4 and M-16's in an un-marked supply shed on the outskits of the base. The decision to relive me of command was unjust and illegal. I need your help in helping me reocver these supplies. With your assiatnce I will reward you with 10lbs of C-4 and 3 M-16s. In order for this transaction to happe3n you will need to send a good faith deposit of 3 M1A1 Abrams tanks to and undisclosed location in the Sierra Nacho desert. God Bless and Ten-hut!
He is going to built in the future, he is like totally super advanced by today's standards. Can a USB port whisk an omelette? NO! Can a SATA port trim a hedge? NO! Can a PCI-Express port vaccum off the sofa? NO!!!!
If you want a port that can interface with anything and do almost anything and plug into almost any sort of appliance, just ask Kryten to dry hump it and your wish will be fulfilled!
"Yo, I was like going up in da space elevator with my hommies and E-lek-tronic Dawg when the whole thing started goin' all Wibbly Wobbly like. I pulled out my Sa-honic Screwdriv'ah an dun popped a sonic cap it the monofiliment resonator. After that is was all like that bitch Sarah Jane, smooth as her backside was 30 years ago when she was still hawt, ya' know what I mean G? "
That people on the planet V'wac'tev'trw had a damn messiah and we are not worshipping it yet!!! Dammit we need to as Preg'a'terg is the only one true god!!!
I have found that Farm raised kids seem to be more balanced and hard working than city raised kids. The Farm raised kids realize that the world is there to hurt them and kill them. This makes them more hard working and responsible. Where the city kids that are spoiled rotte have no concept of personal harm until they get out of high school so they are very inexperianced when dealing with it. Farm kids are exposed to all sorts of dangerous farm machinery, dangerous chemicals and pestisides, vicious animals, and hazardous terrain. All this before they even get a drivers license. City kids are friggin creampuffs.
Would be to use int he reactor of a Nuclear rocket to generate electricty during the coasting phase between planets. If you go further than Mars Solar panels just ain't gonna cut it.
What really needs to get done is we need to take rapid prototyping to the next level. Here is how it is done.
You build a machine that can be sent to the moon that can build most of the major parts that it is composed of and an all purpose humanoid robot that is remote controlled from earth. You power it with a combination of solar cells / nuclear generators. During the daytime you smelt lunar soil with the extra energy and make ingots of nearly pure elements along with capture the volitiles like Oxygen and other gasses. During the night time you use the rapid prototyping module to build parts of itself, you would use one laser beam to slowly vaporize the pure ingots and electorstatic confimement to shoot the atoms to a chamber where they are added to a smaller ingot a layer at a time when the ion beam hits the ingot you also converge a laser bear to heat up the material so the ions from the beam will "stick" to the small ingot, the remails of the ingot will be lasered off the finished product. You could use another process for larger items if the laser-ion deposition method is too slow for large items made of metal. This method may be ideal for making things like solar panels though....
Eventually you would build several duplicates of the the original factory that may only need a small shipment of parts that could only be produced on earth. After getting several small factories setup on the moon you would then use them to build an even bigger factory that could be more specialized to make specific items more efficently. After a fashion you may be able to make everything on the moon except for nuclear fule you need to run the place during the night or you could build you own Lunar power sattelites that could orbit the moon and beam power during the night. From there you can start building entire settlements on the moon supplied with pleanty of water, air, electricity, and everythign else humans need, all without needing a single human there to build it all. The people who them go to the moon would be settlers that are brough to moon by automated spacecraft that were built on the moon and all you need to do is send them to low earth orbit where they can rendezvous with the lunar built transport. These people would then live on the moon for the rest of their lives or for extended durations.
The whole idea here is to use exponential growth and technology to build huge ready to inhabit bases on the moon without needing to ship every goddammed nuit and bolt from the earth.
Can you sue about something so basic? I mean what about the guy that programed the Ramdisk.com DOS program that would let you use RAM as a drive? Why wouldn't that qualify as well?
So to get your head frozen it costs like 50,000 dollors, but if you sell your internal organs and the rest of the body besides the head you can get roughly 200,000 from it, sounds like a good 150,000 profit plus you get your head frozen and someday they may beable to unfreeze it/virtualize your brain/etc.....
Could be the right choice for childless nerds who want their legacy of nerditity to live on.
I am going to go to the nearest graveyard, find a big black tall grave stone and act like a monkey and throw a plastic bone up in the air and then quietly walk away.

Yeah and Uwe Boll will stop making movies the same time Arek Bardwin moves to Canada due to the results of the 2004 erection!
The ancient version of Garbage Collection!
They have toasters that can print burn patterns into toast, so there!

Especially the cake!
They have a destory the Earth/Universe button which is located right next to the Staples Easy button, Destroying the Earth, "That was Easy"!
Does their beak work on the same principle? Does a ce-beaked squid grow it back like a missing fingernail?

Lookup "Lunar Lawnmower" it uses microwaves to sinter the top few milimeters of the lunar soil into a hard glassy like substance using microwaves.
I wonder how SanDisk feels about this....
Can you sue about something so basic? I mean what about the guy that programed the Ramdisk.com DOS program that would let you use RAM as a drive? Why wouldn't that qualify as well?
Corelative update program on the friggin DHDs, you have to re-write the whole goddammned thing.
When will they begin work on whole prosthetic bodies?
Shirow promised us a cyberpunk future, and I want my moon base too!!!
Could you pull a hatch off a tank if you had muscles made of this material? Or would they break themselves against the strain?

Cute anime style chobits type ear implants????
Would a body heat powered computer in your head have enough processing power to serve the same function as a "Cyberbrain"?
If they are in the head, the head is pretty warm, in fact it is one of the warmest areas of the body.
I think that powering protectics, at least the control systems via body heat would simplfy the power requirements for prosthetics.
Sounds like the logical conclusion to a Cow Whale hybrid
But is was Designed in the early 70's that means they have a special made Wax-cylinder adapter.
