They'll just put the facial-capture stuff on him, so that he can mouth out the words in his usual robotic way, and they'll slap it all onto some CG model, a la Avatar.
In which case, why not just hire an impressionist who can do Arnie's accent on the cheap, and then map his stuff onto the CG model?
It's great that Slashdot is giving coverage to the above story, but how come they're not giving timely coverage to the fact that Planetary Resources has announced a new Stretch Goal for their existing Kickstarter campaign:
They're promising that if the new $2M fund-raising goal is crossed, they'll use the extra funds to upgrade their Arkyd-100 Space Telescope to search for exo-planets. This is a fantastic idea, especially given the recent breakdown of NASA's Kepler planet-finding probe.
I hope you will all consider pledging some money to this fine Kickstarter campaign too, because finding more of those alien worlds will help to expand our horizons and our aspirations of the future.
Retard, the reason why the Tea Party wanted surveillance on anti-nationals, is because the Left won't permit the better option, which is to reform immigration and block people who hate the US from coming into it. Obviously, it's far better to deny entry to anti-nationals than to have to monitor everyone or make the entire citizenry suffer.
If Snowden keeps calling the government out on its lies and providing evidence that embarrasses those currently in power, he will be made to disappear without any trial at all.
It's embarrassing for the US govt that it hacked China? It's not as if China has any superior technology the US wants to steal. The US govt simply wants to know what China is up to, since China happens to back a rogue states with nukes and missiles that occasionally saber-rattle about evaporating cities if their extortion demands aren't met.
I agree - this seems more like computer-controlled extrusion, rather than a layered additive "printing" process.
That being said, I wonder what kind of useful structures it could make in outer space? Perhaps some kind of spiderweb structure to place solar panels on?
Don't forget Clinton bombing Serbia at the urging of the baying Left-wing mobs. It's the Left - including the American Left - who are the greatest threats to world peace. Today Democrats cry "Invading Iraq is warmongering aggression!" but 20+ years ago, they were sneering at Bush Sr for being "too much of a wimp to invade Iraq" and then after he re-election loss later gloating that "Saddam kept his job while Bush didn't". For those of us who don't have a 30-second memory span like the amnesiacs on the Left, their hypocrisies are plain for anyone to see.
Uhh, nope - when someone is murdering a British soldier in his own country merely for wearing the uniform, then they are the racist hate-filled bigots, and there is nothing wrongful in protesting against them. That Anonymous would react to such protests by targeting the protesters while completely ignoring the hate-crime which they are protesting, says something very awful about Anonymous.
Recently, Anonymous decided to target the English Defense League by publishing the personal details of its members online, in the wake of that group's protests over the Woolwich jihad murder. I'm a South Asian myself, and I find that Anonymous' blatantly sectarian political bias puts them outside of the realm of social justice. They're just a bunch of Left-wing punks with their own glaring ethnic biases coupled with crooked vigilanteism.
Yeah, I think quantum physicists delight in making their field look as cryptic and mysterious as possible. That's why they go out of their way to use the kinds of words that can easily be misunderstood, and create more heat than light.
In order to more thoroughly test students' knowledge, AI software should be used which will sense where the student is weakest through their answers, and then pile on more questions in the weaker areas, or perhaps even provide supplementary learning materials which address the students' weak points.
There are plenty of people out there who have the desire and the ability to improve themselves, but for one reason or another can't take time out of their lives to leave their jobs and go back to school. The MOOC is the great new solution to their dilemma. Now anyone and everyone can get access to training and education, to better themselves in their spare time. After all, we're now in the 21st century, and shouldn't have to be constrained by old limits on things like classroom size, etc.
What's needed going forward, are paths to accreditation so that MOOC students can merge themselves into the mainstream of education and qualification. Hey, as long as a student can genuinely pass the tests and examinations which authentically gauge their prowess, then why should it matter whether they got their education face-to-face in a classroom vs online? In the end, it's knowledge and ability which count.
We may be entering into a new age of "Social Learning" whereby our social circles and our study groups become one and the same. We will increasingly spend more of our time communicating with study peers through whom we can advance our knowledge, so that any ultimate interaction with the instructor will be more efficient and productive.

Dammit, I was hoping that somebody could print a simple Babbage machine

Erdogan already took care of any disloyal generals by putting them in jail. They're the ones who are disappearing. That's pretty well known.

reusing a ruse is rude

Like ships on fire near the Tannhauser Gate, maybe?
