You've got it all wrong. Tree branches are gnarly, not fish.

Sign the gategate petition to get the FBI to look into it.

Yes, precisely! You need experimental data to find the proper stacking method for maximizing kids of varying masses within a locker superstructure.

That depends. Were they both inflated under the same conditions, too? Maybe the "under-inflated" balls were inflated with warm air indoors, and the "properly inflated" balls had been inflated outside in the cold air. Or were they even just inflated an hour apart in changing weather conditions?

Hey, /. commentators don't necessarily know how to spell things right. We aren't all rocket surgeons!

In this case, the sensational crap is making people want to know the real science. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Use it and get some funding for the physics lab away from the jocks for a change.

Then you have a useless key and the briefcase, but the MITM has only a useless key.

Of course I have. But a man-in-the-middle attack isn't going to do much good without a man-assaulted-on-the-way-to-the-airport attack as well. You've got a key that's transmitted, and a briefcase that's physically moved. The key's kinda useless without the briefcase, after all.

The only situations I can see this having any use in is some sort of security model where you make an object that for some security reason isn't supposed to exist in more than one place. I can see this for the whole "only this key can open the briefcase with the documents/money/etc." situation, for example.

"greatest" ... "grace" ... I do not think these words mean what he thinks they mean.

Do you mean the Apple CUBE did not make the list because it was disappointing?
Or that you're disappointed that it is not on the list?

...but solve the Lament Configuration and even the Borg will know fear.

It's not exactly out of character for the short story - the main character works for a time traveling police agency, so a time traveling terrorist would be a viable nemesis. The real question is if it makes sense, and how well it meshes with the rest of the story.

FYI: There are no zombies in this movie. (Or, at least, there were none in the original story, and it doesn't look like they randomly added any to the movie.)
It's just straight-up scifi time travel.

All You Zombies was a great short story to read, but I don't know how it will translate to the big screen. They've definitely expanded from the original story to make a movie out of it (the entire terrorist plot was added), and I'm hoping it's going to work. I've always had a soft spot for a well-made time travel movie, and there really hasn't been a good one in years.
