Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Don't forget that one hotel that's made out of ice.
Of course if you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have known that it was faux

You mean like the ice hotel does?
no, let's forget about that hotel
let's just try to forget that hotel so hard it disappears
anyone who wants to spend more than five minutes in a building made of ice and isn't in danger of freezing to death otherwise is just
silly
Chevy Volt, if it works, is probably the next big step - essentially a plugin hybrid which can run as an EV for an extended period. 40 miles is kind of a big deal since it covers people's entire commute.
What, in her actual eye? I think I saw a discovery channel thing where they had a camera in this dude's sunglasses that sent information to a chip in his visual cortex. I am happy robot-human integration grows closer <3
Yeah, that was pretty tight.
it's what all those early concepts of space stations were based on. big spinning rings, or compartments spinning at the end of long pylons.
the ISS doesn't spin i think because it's too fragile to really support spinning. also, it's not built for it. i think i have heard that they have spun it up a little to get the moisture to either end.
but yeah in theory spinning a space station is a decent approximation for gravity.
yeah, I mean, I hesitate to call it an actual "bionic" eye because it's not like it was directly hooked up to her brain or anything. She still needed real eyes and optic nerves. But it made her useless eyes work again (more or less).

Yeah it's pretty simple and doesn't involve anti-gravitrons or whatever the hell.
Cochlear implants.
BOOM BABY.
All we really need is the latter, and spinning will do that. Preferably spinning on a very large arm so the field appears to be downward only and fairly uniform.
Oh man, that would be rad
The 40 miles thing would be ridiculously generous for me. I might go more than 40 miles in a trip once every two months or so.

Centrifugal force isn't the same as gravity.
yes we need to spend probably half of our national budget on those, moniker, because architecture and city planning are easy and human culture is doomed if we don't at least make an effort to move into ice houses
That it's gonna end up with computers murdering us?
did he do that
is that a thing he just did
This type of stuff fascinates me. If I remember that case correctly they didnt expect it to work properly, and the only reason it worked is because of the brains natural function to understand inputs it is provided.
these wounds they will not heal
And THAT song of all their songs.
I think I read somewhere that the newest module does to some extent.
It's good enough.
man the slow advancement of battery technology has been kind of disappointing.
it's a big part of why we can't have cool robots
You know Venice is sinking into the sea? It sinks a centimeter or a couple of millimeters or a couple of centimeters (I don't know the specifics) every year.

Since that would only be capable if the first impossible thing happened, it'd be more sensible to just switch it over to a defense mindset. Ice aircraft carriers.
I'm agitating for my lab to move into direct ethanol fuel cells based off of porous silicon.
Your hesitating to call it bionic is part of this whole thing Will is going on about.
I think we should remind science that if they invent some better batteries Radioshack can go out of business
Yeah, nothing's permanent dude.
But Venice has been around a LONG FUCKING time, and it'll be around a while more.
And that fucking rocks.
What is involved in that, exactly? Is it a chemistry problem, or a materials thing, or what?

the japanese keep making horri-sexy fleshbots but seeing that power cord just makes me go soft
