Whilst Not a "Space" Movie (set in Space) The Dish is an Australian film about the Parkes Radio Telescope that transmitted the moon landing images in 40km/h winds. great film, well worth it. Sam Neill included!

not geothermal. look at wikipedia, but it's basically sunlight stored in concrete.
The so-called "Labyrinth" is a passive cooling system sandwiched above the railway lines and below the middle of the square. The concrete structure consists of 1.2 km of interlocking, honeycombed walls. It covers 160 m2. The walls have a zig-zag profile to maximize their surface area, and are spaced 60 cm apart.
During summer, cold air is pumped in the combed space, cooling down the concrete, while heat absorbed during the day is pumped out. The following day, cold air is pumped from the Labyrinth out into the Atrium through floor vents. This process can keep the Atrium up to 12 C cooler than outside. This is comparable to conventional air conditioning, but using one-tenth the energy and producing one-tenth the carbon dioxide.
During winter, the process is reversed, whereby warm daytime air stored in the Labyrinth overnight, to be pumped back into the Atrium during the day.
geothermal shouldn't steal a noticeable amount of heat- remember, the Earth is VERY big and VERY hot. I'd still prefer it if we went Nuclear. and that smart ass with the Adelaide crack... guess where I'm writing this from?
Religion has nothing to do with this. it's chemistry and biology, so keep the Pope out of it. but as for grey goo, not gonna happen from this. the article states that the organism will be oil and fat based, so in a wild environment it will have a hard time propagating unless actively transmitted.
as someone who works in a toyshop (that sells games) I see 4 million FPS games, about that racing games, and a couple of budget titles that have originality.
what's wrong with this picture?
only a unique, hyped game or a popular liscense get purchased, and I'm left explaining to someone why they should buy beyond good and evil even though they have never heard of it
another point- as an Australian, we don't get local content. you can bet that a few people bought GT4 and Juiced because they want Australian cars- same with V8 Supercars (which I don't think they have in the US) and AFL 2005 (which you wouldn't want in the US)
so if we could have more local content, lots more sales
this is the downside of having EA make everything
As a student in a nanotech degree, it brings warmth to my heart that I'll be able to get a job once I finish Uni. Whether the term nanotechnology will lose some of its stigma as "grey goo" will have ended by then is another question. and whether I'll be able to say nanotechnology without a chorus oh "huh?"s is a better question

"I'd like a copy of Ultraviolent Megadeath please"
"sure. is your mum or Dad here?"
"sure"
Mum comes over
"He'd like a copy of Ultraviolent Megadeath"
Point- a big sticker does nothing

No matter what, something will always be society's villain. Jazz music, comic books, rock music, D&D, video games. I suggest wait, and the blame will pass to... Golf?
Rockstar's next game will cast you as a pantsless psychopath that spends the entire time turning to the camera and saying 'remember kids, try this at home!'
and what kind of name is 'Peaceoholics', anyway?
"Hi, my name is Fred, and I'm a peaceoholic"
"Hello, Fred"
what, you mean telling us nothing, still bringing out mario sequels, not supporting DVDs and still pushing a handheld which has a touch screen as the main interface? Those right things? this isn't a competition where you can't even respond to a competitior's claims. Unless we get some serious Revolution details it will become a footnote in the console wars.

I'd like to see some console competitions.

I used to live in snowtown. foot meets mouth. dickhead.

Rez- hypnotic shooter that's amazing. welcome to synaesthesia
it's sad to see the cynicism over such a big donation

to paraphrase star wars episode three, you're either with him or against him. guess which one I am?
...and Monkey Island give good insight in to caribbean history... but seriously, if it gets people interested in the topic at hand, go for it.
Defense rests.
I don't give a damn about American jobs- I'm Australian

I think that the real issue here is not the laptop thing but the audit- how will they audit you?
I'm Guybrush threepwood, Mighty Pirate! funny, and in Limbo. Gex would be nice too
A nanotube is 100% efficient at letting an electric currrent through, ie less heat

I think that's point made.
