Hmmm... Now what could I do if I had a system to automatically transcribe human-to-human speech over the phone?? Maybe I'd put it in a big fat fucking database, and use some of the other contextual data-mining techniques to give me some useful information.
Read for yourselves, and make up your own minds. I purposedly didn't put forth some kind of fucked-up conspiracy theory, but the sources do not lie.
The US government IS going to put all electronic info in a database - that is NOT contested by anyone. It is a law that will soon be passed, as mentioned in the earlier "Homeland Defense" email. DARPA is spending a lot of money on text-to-speech. With those two facts in mind (they are FACTS, not speculation), read some of the web pages above. The language is fucking spooky.

That's not exactly how it works out in the book, however. I wonder if they'll even cover the "Sharky" story at the end, or if the movie will end in a climactic victory over Sauron.

That wouldn't account for the movement of galaxies away from each other, unless we are actually witnessing gravitational redshift from the massive gravitational pull of galaxies. If mass just kind of "stayed put" while spacetime "stretched" to fill the universe, then we would have no justification for anything but regional gravitational accumulations. Of course, those huge accumulations would eventually form massive, hot stars that would have relatively short "lifespans". Such stars would go supernova, creating (perhaps) black holes and sending matter flying in all directions. I still don't see how it could lead to super-massive accumulations of matter moving in ANY direction except towards their own center of gravity or toward other gravitational sources. That wouldn't jive with the concept of "galaxies moving away from each other". I realize that galaxies also move towards each other, and collide - but the big picture assumes that they are moving away.
Am I smoking crack?? (I've a theory of my own, but it is NOT ready - your explanation fits right into MY model, but apparently not into the classic big bang theory).

Nope. Until the Riva 128/Riva TNT arrived on the scene, 3dfx was the ONLY way to go. Trust me - I even had a Rendition Verite card. Don't even mention ATI's rage pro (or MY rage at the lack of decent drivers for it). After the TNT, Voodoo 2 SLI was STILL faster. The Banshee gave 3dfx a 2d/3d solution, but it was inferior to the TNT AND the Voodoo 2 (without SLI). Later, 3dfx created the Voodoo 3 - in its many flavors, at different clock speeds. NONE could render in 32 bit color. Nvidia came out with the TNT 2 which COULD render in 32 bit color, and was slightly faster anyways (my V3 topped out at 200MHz, a lot of TNT 2 cards went even faster - and could use asynchronous memory/GPU speeds (yes, I know the term GPU was non-existent at the time - but it is now). That was the time for 3dfx to shine with its Rampage product. Nvidia released the Geforce - bringing geometry acceleration to the masses. 3dfx brought the Voodoo 4 and 5, which were 32 bit enabled. However, they did not have geometry acceleration, and used a more expensive multiple chip architecture to achieve semi-competitive performance. They were behind the times in an industry where you cannot afford to fall behind. That was the end - Rampage never saw the light of day. Even the Voodoo 5 6000 (or Voodoo 6 6000 - I forget) vanished. 3dfx was good, but NVidia made some bets which paid off. 3dfx was used to LOOONNNGGG product cycles. Remember how many years the Voodoo graphics chipset (original) ruled the 3d scene?? Remember how long the V2 SLI obliterated the competition?? Nvidia changed everything with their 6 month product cycles - less profit, but more progress. Had 3dfx encountered stronger opposition in the Voodoo Graphics days, we might not be speaking of the company in the past tense.

Except that in YOUR example, Israel would be a closer analogy to the indians in Montana reclaiming their "historic" homeland. I'm sure Native Americans have just as much "history" in Montana as the Jews do in Israel.
Kryptonite is not an element. Remember superman 3 (I think) where they couldn't make kryptonite because they didn't know the final ingredient, and they used tar?? And it made superman all grumpy and shit?? And then he fixed the Eiffel tower?? If they had to mix several ingredients together (including tar), then Kryptonite is not an element. Well, unless alchemy is involved in the process.
