No, that's on the lame Earth. Different Earth.

I'd get bored.

At least the screams of little children can be muffled. Unlike those hellish motorcycles and the demonic riders.

And on the anti-earth the anti-humans hate bacon.

"The Kitchen Sink" HAHAHAHA! I f'king love it!

You aren't thinking tourist dollars. The entire city is screwing itself by outlawing this annual event.

I agree, but it is an amusing tack. The city sets the rules. They need to appeal to the city on grounds such as the rally brings in tourist dollars big time and they are screwing themselves by outlawing burning out.

Funny you say that. I gave Anathem a few chapters and couldn't handle it.

I want to have Neal Stephenson's baby. I'm a man. But with the right technology, I think I could make it work.

You ever hear of insect politics?

Oh no, the Nvidia demos probably took quite a bit of time to code. Probably direct to hardware calls. Who knows.

Are you kidding me? That would be the penultimate find! Don't raise my expectation to that level!

I can't argue that one. There were good points to Black rain, but not many.

Wow, I would LOVE to dig through that pile of paper. Who knows what kinds of weird things/stories you could dig up.

I wonder why scripts aren't passed around in a wiki format to the fans of the particular genre. The weaknesses of the plot and the Deus Ex's can be dealt with by the hive mind.

Don't dismiss Chariots of the gods to quickly. If the chariot is an asteroid and the package is amino-acids or primitive bacteria. Then the scenario is still somewhat true.

The directors cut...

The top 1% built the spaceship and gave it to the 99% to do the mission. But, that would mean the top 1% are really dumb. So none of this could have happened at all. It's an Idiocracy paradox.

I've seen demos from Nvidia that run on my poor old GTX 570 that look a hell of a lot better than this.

I remember them, but I never used one. Wouldn't it really interfere with the drop down blinders?
