You drank GasolinaWhat, you want some? I could hook you up with some.
The guys at Columbine were complete outcasts, and they saw it as being forced lower than everyone else, for no good reason, but in the army at least you know that you're not the only one, and that what's happening is for a reason.That's why there are also military boot camps, to weed out the undesirables, the ones that will crack up easily. By the way, I was in the Navy, but attached to a Marine Corps unit.
Terrorists!I thought so too.
These things are nothing but prototypes. The military experiments with all kinds of inane tax-money-wasters that never come close to production, and these are good examples.Ever heard of the Air Force's Predator drones? It is very real, and very deadly, and yes, some of them are prototypes, but that does not stop them from killing. Here's a photo of one sending a gift to the terrorists:
If/when we get practical technology to make a super human exoskeleton, why not just make it a robot, and control it like any other drone?It's been there, and it's been done, just look at these nifty pics: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=military+robots&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=zsEaSt7FNcqPmAer9JDXDA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title
this is SO stupid, I don't even know where to begin.If you are referring to the never ending pursuit of inventing newer and more exotic weaponry like this super soldier armor, than yes...it is stupid and then some, because it will for sure start a new arms race among the nations.
Just look at the American automobile industry. In a few years, they would all be extinct.If the American auto industry was left on their own without no outside interference, yes I would agree with you, satchmo. But that's not the case here, since you might have already been hearing about in the news, the U.S. government has been pumping BILLION$ upon BILLION$ of tax payer's money in to the car makers. Letting the American auto industry go out of business will have unimaginable consequences, not to mention a very toxic, political fallout for Washington DC. To make the point short: Letting Detroit die is not an option, period! You can bet President Obama's administration is very aware of the dangers this massive industry collapse could cause, and therefore he will do everything in is power to avert it, at any costs.
Haven't exoskeleton suits for soldiers been development for quite some time now?Why yes, World Crafter....exoskeleton suits have already been invented, by the Japanese,....who else? But unlike in the U.S., in Japan the exoskeleton is being mostly developed for humane applications.
It's gonna be way too expensive to outfit every soldier with this crap. If this stuff even exists in 20 years, maybe a few lucky soldiers will get to use it in special situationsYou are right. Most likely it will be special forces who use this new tech.
Well, With that tech, nothing's stopping the next corrupt president from invading canadaThat would depend on how much oil reserves Canada has. But in reality, America's southern neighbor, Mexico....would most likely be the one invaded. They have plenty of oil reserves, plus their drug cartel's wars are spilling in to the U.S. side, giving the American President all the excuses to do a surprise invasion.
Let me guess. All that and 2 hrs of battery life.Most of the battery juice will be sucked by the GPU. And according to the GPU maker NVIDIA, "over 100 hours audio and 10 hours HD video playback".
This is by the same idiots who brought us Crank and Crank 2, so I know it's going to be garbage.Yea, those Crank movies were not exactly Oscar material, they were too degenerate, even for my tastes. That scene on the 2nd movie, where Jason Statham man-handles on a sexual way some old lady in public was something I did not need to see.
The story sucked, and it had too many "wtf?" and grotesque moments in a bad way.Bummer. Tell me you did not paid money to go watch it....!
Uh...yeah. Mamoru Oshii's Avalon and David Cronenberg's eXistenZ pretty much doneWell since you put it that way, I might have to see if I find those two flicks at my local video rental store, and check them out.
Gamestop still sells used, Wal-Mart won't be able to sucessfully buy and sell used games like gamestop does.Comparing Gamestop to Wal-Mart is like comparing a Chihuahua to a Great Dane, simply no contest. Wal-Mart is just too massive, too powerful and too rich too fight off without some serious backup. Whenever Wal-Mart enters a new market, they do not aim for second place, and that's a guarantee! Hell, Wal-Mart just last year bought out the largest retail chain in China, thus becoming the top retailer in that country. Wal-Mart has the U.S., Mexico, Canada, most of the Caribbean, U.K., and about half of Europe is in their back pocket. How can you fight and compete against that?
EDIT: What the hell?What the hell....ON WHAT?
I don't believe that the twhl hldm server is irrelevant to twhl's downfall.TWHL fell? I was not aware it was that bad.
as opposed to say, Flash, which is apparently the most installed software in the world.Okay then, since you brought up Flash, let's talk about that. Now, you did say you have permanently disabled Java on your PC, fine then. That means there is no point asking you to check out that Java 3D scene. So, let's go to plan B then,...Flash. I am going to go out on a limb here and assume you still have Flash enabled on your PC, right Penguinboy? Well if you do, your in luck, Flash can also display full, 3D scenes in real time just like it's Java counterpart can.
here it is:You know, after watching that 11 minute video on the 10th Dimension that vs49688 posted, I don't know what to think. Is this really the way what we perceive reality to be like?
The Tenth Dimension:

But even religion doesnt have a definitive answer to that. Take a look Genesis ChapterWow, I never would have thought I will see a good chunk of the Holy Bible being quoted on TWHL's forum. Bravo for doing so, I liked it.
@Tito: A better example of a paradox:That gave me goosbumps.
This statement is a lie.
or
I know nothing.
Yeah...Java is a browser plugin.I am not really preaching Java, just pointing out it's multi-browser, platform and OS's support. I myself don't like Java that much either, I find it to be somewhat resource hungry, thus slowing down the PC. The way I see it, it's just a "necessary evil" that one have to contend with, but at least, it's a manageable one. Hell, a lot of cell phones have Java built in to them, but I suspect it's mostly to play Java games. I think Java is one of those things that you either like it or hate it, no in betweens. It's use it's really a niche thing, it's not for everything or everybody.
That I have permanently disabled.
God I hate Java.
Yes. Noclip ? It's like typing sv_cheats 1 and then noclip in the halflife console, if you understand me.Oh that....I have seen others do it, but I have not done it personally. The thing about the 3DXplorer.com 3D Java applet, is that it is basically a Java powered chat room, but in full 3D, that's all. It has no type of game engine built in to it, so no games can be played on it.
don't talk to a legend that way.Legend of what?
What, this thread is going to close just 'cause Trapt said so?That's what I was thinking too. Now, I do admit this thread went off track from the original topic, but that's no reason to get one's undies in a bundle.
Panera Bread is awesome.You bet it was awesome! After a year of working there making fresh & hot panini sandwiches and hand tossed salads, I just had to quit. I was getting too fat on all that delicious, gourmet sandwiches made with all that scrumptious bread! Oh, and don't get me started on their freshly baked, mouth watering BAGELS!!! Oh man, I wish there was a Panera Bread where I live here in Puerto Rico, but the nearest one from me is in the state of Florida, right across the Caribbean sea.....SHIT!
