Star Trek the Next Generation: The Offspring.

Ghost In the Shell. A bit on the nouveau side, but it was my first contact with artificials and consciousness.

I have high hopes for this. My wife suffers from fibromyalgia to the point she had to retire on disability :( Opiates are the only thing that makes the pain tolerable, at the expense of making her very sleepy (imagine living life on a 24/7 Benadryl drip), not to mention the addictive properties.

Kyle, you're arguing that people should have taken a stick with no promise of a carrot in the future. Did Microsoft ever say anything about making games cheaper as a result of these policies? Anywhere? There is no reason for anyone to have just accepted this DRM in exchange for the hope that maaaaaaaybe Microsoft will…

Here's a poster I made on just this subject (get your hi res free version here).

Reminds me of this. During WW-II Yehudi Lights were installed on aircraft to reduce their contrast with the brighter sky background, making them less visible during daylight. Back then there was a lot more at stake than just getting Glassed during a lap dance.

Don't forget everyone tilting in unison while the camera rocks back and forth.

Is there some deluxe version that will fully simulate that part of the experience? I won't truly feel like a captain without crew members flying all over the place when their station explodes.

At least their iPads didn't explode in a shower of sparks and catch fire.

There's a HUGE difference between what you're talking about and what the government is (reportedly) doing.

It's obvious. There is no one challenging requests to the FISA court. No one. There is no "other side." There is no one speaking up for you or your right to privacy. If they want to read every email or listen to every phone call of yours, they can do it. End of story.

Nothing that Barack Obama has said contradicts with what Snowden has said.
