Just imagine: a virtual reality suit, with helmet and gloves and everything, pluged into Second Life environment. I admit, the fly effect will be hard to reproduce, but I still think that VR and MMORPG can be a huge succes, if the price for the equipment will be not higher than 400-500$. Who will need Wii anymore?
Plus:
1. many users
2. many items sold
3. PROFIT!!1!
4. cheaper equipment
5. GOTO 1
I did download it on XP and IE7. First, IE7 crashed. Then, just showed and empty brownish screen. No 3D whatsoever. Maybe a 3D brown-hole, but no pyramid.
Yeah, that TNG-Borg were the "real" ones. I remember wainting a full week to see the part II of TBOTBW (on TV, no torrent or eve Internet access back then). I was absolutely terrified by them (only 13 years, or so). And I also don't understand why the Borg in VOY are green-ish and how could a ship lost 78,000 ly from home, with limited resources, to penetrate a quadrant full of Borg... USS Voyager can be a better ship then NCC-1701-D, but still.
Maybe you are the most advance civilization in Universe. I mean, someone should be that, maybe we are. It's not impossbile. Also, it's not impossible, although unlikely, that we are the ONLY lifeform in the Universe.
As far as I know, our planet emits a lot of neutrinos, as a results of nuclear powerplants. There you have it, instead of searching for radiowaves, like SETI (that's why I registered for Mersenne Prime Search instead), search for planet emitting neutrinos. They must have nuclear activity. Still a pre-warp civilization, but a least comparable to ours. Off course, spotting neutrinos is not easy, but this should be easy for an advance civilization, would it?
I thought music (and art, in general) is done not for money, but for the pleasure itself.
Obligatory South Park flashback: "Oh, look at poor Britney, she can't afford to buy this shiny new jet..." (or something like that)
An as far as I know, a very small procentage from CD selling goes to the artist, the big part is taken by the record company. Am I wrong?
"[...]the robot can actually also find a place to hide, and then hunt for its human playmate"
The "hunt" word scares the hell out of me! What if he suddenly mistake the _hunt directive with _kill, since I don't recall saying anything about Asimov's laws?...

Imagine, zooming on Google Earth into that Museum, into that picture, and get that details. Imagine zooming into ANY Museum and into ANY painting and getting that details...
I bet I'll can see my own daindruff on Google Earths then.
Uhm... the electricity consumption rate in 1929 and 2006 are pretty different, I guess... Back then, I think they only have light bulbs. We now have TVs, PCs, Washing Machines, Microwave owens, Air conditioners...

Totally agree. If God have ment for us to be naked, we have been born that way.
Do you mean: *sheep* ?
Damn, I thought that Dressing is yet another Cedega or Crossover flavour of Wine...
Right, but the astronauts could take the dust inside their Lander and in the Apollo capsule, on their suits or shoes, where they breath normally :)

Fish use lateral line, dolphins use sonar. Sonar to be the winner here...

I see a BOINC's bigbang@Home project coming up...
Yup, I was born there and I lived in Arad in the first 18 years of my life, I'm telling you, it's a Romanian city allright.

Hurry, I must spent my remaining 3.86$ before shut-down!
This should be enough for everybody...

Could some one please torrent it?
I don't know, those rocks seems so out of the picture to me... Couldn't they found some more real-looking ones? They are so perfectly painted...
Ouch... The reviewer's site has been badly slashdoted...

About cooling, a river might be more useful, since it flows...
