Everybody who modded me down into oblivion every time I said that there would never be a HL3, please kill yourself now. Oh, and THERE WILL NEVER BE A HL3.

I'm not sure that "plastic" means what you think it means.

Yes. Also wins the prize for the worst tacked-on story-arc container. I like Bradbury's work, in general, but he's as asshole and this book was some hack's lame attempt at making a shitty movie.

I think it was a lame "30 YO virgin" reference.

Guffaw.

My co-workers who don't use email do that for a reason... they don't want to be accountable for what they say. My boss will sometimes send me an email asking me to come over to his office, where he will tell me something that he could have said in the email, but didn't want it to be on the record. Not much I can do about that but for anybody who isn't my boss, they know if I don't get it in an email I will ignore it. Because I can cover my ass too.

If by "corruption" you mean "anything tagged as interesting by those who wish to keep an eye on what you're doing".

Yeah, I'm talking about HL2DM, which I've been playing for the better part of a decade, during half of which I ran my own servers using my own maps and mods. So I'm pretty familiar with the situation, which at the moment is sad and getting sadder. I'd love HL3, DM or not, it's just not going to happen.

HL3? Not gonna happen. The number of active HL2 servers is shrinking daily.

You should go to be liberry and check up on that.

Penetrating air-gapped machines is old hat now. The next step will be discovering that the hardware we buy has been pre-compromised before purchase. Oh, that's right, that's already happening.

Hurray for megabyte sized firmware... lots of room to hide anything.

The power of the movie was due in large part to the uncertainty of Deckard's origins, and the uncertainty of his fate. Scott's opinion on the matter is valid, but if it were more than an opinion on a character he did not create, he could have made it explicit in the movie, which he did not.

So... opinion.

How do you conclude that replicants don't appear to age? Most of them didn't live long enough to appear older, but for those that don't have an expiration date (presumably Deckard and Rachael) , there was nothing to imply that they wouldn't appear to age as they, well, aged. Apparently quite a few people did not understand what a "replicant" was supposed to be in the movie, or, for instance, why they would need human organs, like eyes. Hint: NOT A ROBOT.
