I didn't realize that B&D had merged with Stanley. They used to be utter crap, but I suppose I'll have to look at some of their more recent items.

I thought it was funny, too (and I don't consider myself a big fan of the prequels). I just think a certain segment of the population is going to piss and moan about anything that is officially sanctioned anymore.

In this, as in most matters, Freddie knows best.

a) I'm not arguing for or against he existance of God. Only pointing out that, if it wouldn't be inconsistent for a God with the ability to create the universe to also have the ability to whip up half the DNA to place in the egg of a human female.

I think it is.

That may be my favorite rewrite ever!

Of course, if we are talking about a being who was able to speak the cosmos into existence, it doesn't seem all that impossible that he could create a simple bit of DNA to put into the egg of a virgin female.

Love it!

And beyond the cost of the camera, it would have to be radiation hardened.

No, it isn't "absolute horseshit". this is the reality of the limits of a design that had to be concrete in 2004. That's why it uses a RAD75o wich is basically a PowerPC processor that was used in 2004 Macs, except that it's radiation hardened. That's why it has 2GB of flash storage and 256mb of RAM. Your phone is…

Thank you!

As much as Id like to see that, I know a guy who helped design Curiosity, and asked him why it didn't happen. What he told me was basically this:

Wait! When did "that guy" get here? ;)

maybe not in a house, but I've done a ton of set work and can tell you it would be trivially easy to do this with sets. Of course, the more rooms you do, the more expensive it gets.

Couldn't he have placed everything on a thick plexiglas floor (not to diminish his cool concept. Just seems like it could have been easier.

If Apple wants it bad enough, they have the cash reserves to make it happen. The could feasibly negotiate any contract they want to insure that the price for a consumer is right, because if the conenience comes at the right price, the devices will sell.

$10-15 each for an episode? That would seriously be moving backward. Or are you misunderstanding him? He's saying he thinks apostles will be $1.99 each, and that he'd rather pay for a whole channel. What he's assuming this is is what it already is. Buy an individual episode the day after it airs. What it would…

Good news. If you have a second gen Apple TV you can.

Yeah... Okay. I'm done with Twitter then.
