Pick the one that CREATES energy... not consumes it. The only logical choice is the warp drive.

One has to assume that all of these lovely devices consume MASSIVE amounts of energy in order to function, and we as a species are already having problems managing the "scant" resources we have. Make the warp drive, even just one, and we get MUCH further toward the rest of the tech than the other way around.

Also, reaching other planets and/or system to obtain more resources is possible with this tech.

Hopefully you remain unsuccessful, otherwise he will disappear to his native dimension.

You can pick this thing up from anywhere with the right equipment, right?

I notice that they didn't ever skip the video back to the PS3 after "loading" the backed up game. I don't have a PS3, so I can't confirm and/or notice any differences in OS between what a proper disc loaded up looks like or vs. what a backed up game would look like (when they view the ratchet and clank game).

I am skeptical given that the forum link is down, and that something as simple as USB run code breaking open the hypervisor seems shady.

Presumably once we figure out one, then we'll figure out the other, eh?

If you please, what language is this in before I clear and spend the resources to obtain it?

Nor would we want them to, lest they start trying to come up with ways to predict who will and will not perform criminal (or, dar I say, terr'ist) acts and detain them prior to
NO CARRIER

Confirmed! I was at the same Tinfoil Hat of America meeting with the OP!

Let's hope that the tech developed to mine or explore this area is remembered for when we need to send probes or other such to similar condition on other worlds.

I stick to my assertions that we should not be spending so much money on trying to explore other worlds before we have thoroughly discovered and explored our own. This is just another reason why - unclaimed resources and opportunities to test remote vehicles/probes in alternate world (or at least more alternate than what most regions offer) conditions.

I imagine that being able to measure one of the basic elements of reality, time, in a more precise manner is a great boon. Wouldn't this be akin to finding out how to measure much smaller spaces? Great!

I agree.

Also, I don't think New England was considered when they were looking at names. I'm sure there's a bit of confusion in conversation among Mac enthusiasts.

It's cheaper!

And besides, the red Chinese invented the computer 3,000 years ago.

In the UK to establish copyright you used to be able to send yourself a stamp addressed envelope containing the relevant work. So long as it remained unopened the postmark served as both a mark of authenticity and also as a timestamp.

I foed him (it) quite a time ago when I noticed that most of its posts consist of verbatim quotes lifted from elsewhere in the discussion and all of them are posted at exactly 30 minutes past the hour – which is why I suspect it's not a human.
