Great, considering how even space travel expeditions in particular (and living in colonies in general) would be pretty much a case of nesting / maintenance.
Overall, being not prepared in such conditions kills you. Collisions do it very rapidly, to boot (and if most of the structure survived - apart from chance, only because of being prepared / also for repairs)
Woman happen to be excellent commanders of seagoing vessels.
That's basically in the range of minimal ram requirements of Contiki (and not the only one for sure); IPS three orders of magnitude away from 8-bit machines, so nothing too dramatic.
Question is how practical could it be considering probably quite "manual" I/O (nvm if there would be place left for any programs)
Not bad, in half of a century - even "smartdust" beats such elders.
Don't you see how that's falling for of the oldest and simplest tricks? "The rulers are the evil ones, we are the good ones - just like people so it's best to give us power, obviously the system of governance isn't a reflection of society, we have the holy universal solution for all your woes (despite horrible examples of what it gives throughout world, throughout history(*))"
The people will rise!...where have we heard such rhetoric before?... Stalinist libertarians is an apt description considering the end result, what kind of people would flourish and dominate. During and after destruction you get chaos. In chaos, people who are most ruthless get in power - not "good" or qualified ones.
Or at least as (or more) "entertaining" than the trainwreck of Yeltsin era (very libertarian in nature, if one cares to look...)
(*)except on a very local level. But one has to be really confused to attach any ideologies there. Communes work on such level, too (yes, the scariest word of them all!)
BTW, I'm in one of the few developed places which didn't really experience any depression during the last few years; a bit the contrary, actually (not too much of course - understandable, considering poor performance of most trading partners). Not voting particularly "for" any camp, not even "against" - just trying to force most sensible parliament coalitions. So called "pragmatism" - try it sometimes, helps avoid missing the forest for the trees / getting scooped by empty promises (just like typical swing voters...)
Well, here it was something done as a last resort to combat the boredom of family reunions in one particular home, when there was nothing left to do...
On top of that - IIRC scenes looked pretty artificial, more than a "normal" photo. Very, paradoxically, flat (a bit like several scrolling planes in some SNES platformers) - and those were static scenes made by pro photographers (probably a side effect due to necessity of deep focus)
Most importantly - since they were static, there was very little strain on visual system after "lock on", so can't really be pointed at as an indication that current crop will be harmless (and again, were hardly used in the first place)
Though lack of those texture treatments isn't the same as "wasn't the fastest" - IIRC it could push quite a bit more polygons, for example.
Yes, adding MIPS/etc. throughout the system most likely put N64 on top. But how a typical N64 production was starved for texture storage didn't exactly make all the filtering look good - often very soap-like. Meanwhile PS1 games eventually got few software tricks regarding textures, apart from usual aggressive optimizations (while Nintendo, for a long time, wasn't willing to approve 3rd party titles messing with microcode of GFX hardware; IIRC). Looking at the results, it often wasn't so clear anymore which one is "the fastest".
You don't remember well enough. The above is really not even a particularly strong example. It should be possible to find screenshots and videos from the time of announcement of the console.
They were insane. Sony did exaggerate strongly the capabilities of this one. And probably with "good" reason - to draw attention away from the Dreamcast.
Perhaps worked pretty well to harm Dreamcast (in case Sega itself wasn't enough). Probably won't work too well this time, didn't really work with PSP1.
Though I can believe PSP2 will be perceptually pretty close to PS3. Not only it has been half a decade - the screen is smaller, likely much less pixels to push, less need for texture resolution, etc.
Why only semen? (plus small initial stock of women, of course - especially in our system, it will be most likely more viable / sooner than artificial uteri and surrogate mother robots)
Numerically, it might very well be the main mode of human transportation between the colonies... (as you said, they will need genetic diversity) in deep hibernation / we can do it already! Embryos or their precursors.
It's not like "submerged in water" isn't a decent enough approximation (and in fact used by space agencies, but to model different stuff). It's not like humans aren't imaginative, if there's a possibility of some action... (even easier: send slashdotters, we'll do anything) Progress of the pregnancy is another issue of course.
But you wouldn't have new species if there wasn't much of a selection. Not for the usual meaning of "several"

You're basically saying "more corruption (but one which is good this time, we promise!) would have been the best solution to solve the corruption problem"
Yes, but in context it was supposedly similarly "unacceptable" as the concept of placebo itself, which needs to have "real price" (or being misled about it, whatever) to work in the first place... but it's not a similar situation, not an apt comparison with overselling broadband.
And since nature doesn't so much care about mechanisms to "deal with oil" as with simply finding new equilibrium - some scenarios can be more fun than others.

You seem to be under false impression that women absolutely need organic penises for sexual gratification?
The era of sexbots is long here. For one of the sexes, at least.

Considering my phone screen is 65%-85% of the battery
...only when you look at it.
ARM and Nokia also stated, during the last year or so, that multicore is likely to help with battery life.
ARM is of course as (or more) "suspect" as claims by Nvidia. Not Nokia though; and many of their phones show some care when it comes to battery life.
Not quite... quite the opposite, actually. The-thing-we-don't-speak-about was sort of brought down, after all, by AOL sponsored variety of September.
...unless said enemy has plenty enough of what is the currently preferred method to "annihilate back"

With such conditions it seems possible the-thing-we-don't-speak-about will see some renaissance at some point.

What is the budget of opposing forces in Afghanistan or Iraq? (nvm why the mighty Empire have chosen such absolute military midgets)
BTW, always nice piece of newspeak - "defense" ;p
Especially if you would include Russia in europe obviously =P (Moscow is on europes side.)
Damn commies, all of them!

You're basically saying "more corruption (but one which is good this time, we promise!) would have been the best solution to solve the corruption problem"
But we have been yelling at countries for two centuries that humans have rights.
Oh, there's an easy way around that, you just define "human" in a slightly limiting way...
Vasectomy usually induces production of antibodies against one's own spermatozoa, reversing the physical side of things doesn't do much after a while.
Yes, but in context it was supposedly similarly "unacceptable" as the concept of placebo itself, which needs to have "real price" (or being misled about it, whatever) to work in the first place... but it's not a similar situation, not an apt comparison with overselling broadband.
It has begun? ;)

How does that snippet contradict what I wrote, what placebo is? ("selling" fake as the real thing to the patients)
