Where does the energy come from when a steel ball falls to earth? There is potential energy tied up in the gravitational field between the ball and the earth. Likewise there is potential energy stored between the magnet and the ball in the magnetic field.
I see your anecdote and raise you one of my own. I've walked into outpatients at 3pm, had the problem identified and surgery performed to fix it and was on my way home at 9pm.
I've never waited more than a month for an appointment, and when my doctor recommended a specialist I got an appointment within two weeks.
In World of Warcraft, alcohol makes it look like enemies are lower level than they really are. So a level 45 Crocolisk shows up as level 40 and you say to yourself "I can take 'im"
There may be others out there, but who's to say we're not the most advanced of them? What if we are destined to be the ones who show up in spaceships bringing the secrets of space travel?
We could be the first, or we could be the last existing planet with sentient life. Maybe there are others out there in the universe that we'll never see because they are outside our light cone.
I means that Roland Piquepaille has submitted yet another story with links only to his own ad-infested blog. In this way, Roland can make a living off of ad revenue, since anyone who wants to RTFA must go through his blog.
Anime.. a genre?
What are you talking about? Anime is a medium like live action and cg. The genre Spielberg is talking about would be cyberpunk.
All your bizarre opinions about the medium aside, your post is based on a flawed premise. Ghost in the Shell is closer to Blade Runner than it is to Sailor Moon.
Even if the numbers get close to 1, we still have the Fermi Paradox. If this equation starts to say that life should be everywhere, yet we can't find any, should we question the usefulness of the equation?
Man, you've watched Daily Planet way too much. "Our host Jay Ingram" ? It's also funny that it's possible to date a given episode by the female co-host...
Of course I used to watch a lot of @discovery.ca, which later turned into Daily Planet.
This is more an intergalactic medium, thought to be even more tenuous than interstellar medium, which is in turn more tenuous than interplanetary space.
What I think they're talking about (RTFA? Me? no time for that!) is the slightly-less-vaccuumy-than-total-vaccuum filaments that link galactic clusters. There could be a lot of matter hidden there where we can't see well because it's far from light sources like stars, and is thus cold and dark just like empty space.
The moon is Iapetus. It has a walnut shape and a massive equatoral wall. It's a possible explanation, though Iapetus orbits outside the ring system, and off-plane.
Then again there could be a 'black ring' further out which explains the two-tone colouring of the moon and the equatoral wall. The only problem is that we haven't detected and rings out there.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Sugar fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of an OLPC (Green, with ear-like WiFi antennas) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my OLPC running XP, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Sugar OS, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Opera will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even JotPad is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various OLPCs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen an OLPC that has run faster on Sugar than on XP, despite the Sugar OS being designed for the hardware. My Vista with Aero enabled runs faster than this 500 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that Sugar is a superior OS.
Linux addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use Sugar over other faster, cheaper, more stable operating systems.
Or it could be the 'sterile environments' causing all the trouble. If you don't train your immune system, it can't deal with even the weakest of invaders.
Sorry mate, but it is in fact hue in this case. Witness:
"In common law, a hue and cry (Latin, hutesium et clamor) was a process by which bystanders were summoned to assist in the apprehension of a criminal who had been witnessed in the act of committing a felony." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue and cry

Maybe you should send an email about it.

So we should all sit down and stop trying to achieve anything because "time will solve all this long after you're dead?"
It's not unusual to be loved by robot girls
It's not unusual to have fun with robot girls
but when I see you hanging about with robot girls
It's not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna' die
It's not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you shut in your house it's such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual, to be mad with robot girls
It's not unusual, to be sad with robot girls
but if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
it's not unusual to find out that I'm in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
