Speech Nazi? Hell, sounds more like actual Nazis.

I'd like to see the competition between early hominids, particularly archaic homo sapiens and Neanderthals... It's a pretty big leap to go from 10000 years ago when humans had already started build settlements, planting crops, etc. to 65 MYA to the dinosaurs... Not to mention it'd be pretty cool to have an opportunity to see all the various birds that followed the dinosaurs.

Not to mention that the body has a process that will start to chemically degrade the brain soon after death--unless that was somehow disrupted

OK, maybe this is a technicality but it seems to me that this really belongs in inputdev and not the tag I see. In this case the input-generating machine happens to be a computer and this input is travelling to the sound card. The sound card then sends it to some other device after some processing. At this point the sound card becomes an input device for whatever is receiving the information. It is an acceptor and a generator. And any device that is a generator mentioned here is more likely to be a generator + acceptor than solely an acceptor.

The JP raptors were more or less based on Deinonychus

Well hopefully they might base it on the comic in which case they'd get up to what? 7 locations? That'd be a little better.

I'm assuming this is a troll, but since it has triggered responses: Global warming = very long term increase in average temperatures worldwide.
Weather = whether it's raining, snowing, none of these, the temperature, etc. outside your house right now.

So the car manufacturers would have to build one type of gas-guzzler for when you go on a vacation to be rented (that would probably be more expensive because it would be a niche market) and produce all electrics the rest of the time?
Personally, I kind of like the idea that I can take my every-day car across the country whenever I want to.

Maybe that's true, but more specifically only the people doing this research (who can tell exactly what it is) have the best chance of creating vaccines. The whole point of publishing research is so that everyone knows about it and can get as much benefit as the original researchers.

24 fps has been the standard for films, even though humans can perceive the flicker. (It's supposed to give it a special feel or whatever.) With 3d you end up with an effective 12 fps, unless you bump up the technical frame rate. So are they saying it will be effectively be 48 fps in 3d, requiring the theaters to buy 96 fps equipment? Cause I can definitely see that being a problem. On a more subjective level, I wonder if we really want to go down the road of computer monitors, tvs, and movie screens all pretty much looking the same; while originally movies were limited by technology to 24 fps, we've probably had the technology to set it around 60 (where the human eye stops being able to perceive the flicker) for decades.

Even if they switch to digital, they would presumably still be broadcasting. Shouldn't the digital signals have distinctive patterns even if they would be hard to interpret?

think about it: a geek getting married; this is always front-page news.

Yes, although aborting .5 seconds from launch is a bit unusual (but as has been said better than the alternative and better than what NASA has done at times).

To be fair, photographers replaced painters around the turn of the century--many asked why anyone ought to make "photo-realistic" (of course they didn't call it that at the time) paintings if you could just snap a photo instead. If CGI replaced photos entirely in the media then it would be a sort of restoration as it seems to me the CGI artist is more like a painter than a photographer.

I really like how when a Microsoft-funded group does something with malicious it's legal but when a private individual or group of individual does something to show security weaknesses or support a political cause it lands them in prison.
