if you get it unlocked, it will also be the most expensive tablet you've ever used.

i guess it makes sense that they wouldn't... how long would cells last with the circulatory system completely shut down? even the ones that generate hair and fingernails? probably not long.

They're missing the 2g and 2gs.

i guess i'm weird but i LOVE how it looks. if i were in the market for a new phone, i'd seriously consider this. and i'm not even a BB person from way back.

i'm soooooo glad that valve decided to change the controller. it NEEDS the thumb stick on the left. personally, the 4 buttons on left should be a d-pad too... the innovation was touch pad for the right thumb. that will be great for FPSs... mouse will still be king but i would wager that right touchpad will be…

the biggest and coolest thing about space combat will be how constrained resources will be: air to breathe, propellant for thrust, batteries for electricity... for one man "fighter" kinda ships, i can't imagine they would be very useful at all unless they fly into the battle volume with drop tanks and then have…

same thing with the tactic of lining up your troops in a line to fire rifles.

yeah, i looked up the FAQ on their site and it is an ECG though not medical grade... they say that it's looking at the shape of the waveform rather than the frequency but then they say that if you're particularly excited, that could screw up the reading and prevent a recognition too... they suggest that you calm down…

the black and white does look amazing. it's one of the things that i really missed in the other IJ movies... the cinematography. everything that looked authentic and gritty in the original ended up feeling fake and over lit and stagey in the subsequent movies... getting worse with every subsequent movie.

awww... i wanted to see his uterus.

yeah but they're not dropping rovers and shit that's wandering the martian countryside like it's going out of style. that shit costs money, yo.

can't see how this would work if you have a variable heart rate... y'know... like a normal human.

didn't watch it... but it would have made a lot more sense to get hack into an f-16 and having to fly UP to a non landable plane to get at its ethernet cable or whatever....

but none of our ancestors built rocket ships.

actually, this may move along the lines of similar technological development by intelligent aliens... i think it was "a fire upon the deep" that made me first think deeply about the subject - would aliens necessarily develop the kinds of technologies that we have in about the same order and manner that we did?

I wish to God there's were battery tenders for lithium batteries. They're such touchy high maintenance bitches....

interesting also that the article makes so much about women chasing vs. being "chaste".

interesting: "a balding and near-sighted English geneticist"

so diamonds are hard but they still shatter... wonder if the cable will have the same properties... extremely hard but brittle. which would make it pointless.

it pulled a buster keaton/aladdin.
