To use an analogy, if you say to someone who's driving a car for the first time, that he may or may not be doing it right, it doesn't teach him anything about driving at all.
It's just kicking them onto a freeway and hoping they find the brakes, speeder, gears and a functional way to use them before they crash.

Found it!

Wow, had the moths fiery doom been because of sexual attraction, it would probably be the saddest thing in the animal kingdom.

In summary: Try not to get buried alive.

But does it taste like strawberries?

It's a fanciful analogy based on the old rubber-sheet demonstration of gravity. It's a "hole" because the rubber sheet would extent infinitely "down" and black because light cannot escape.

I like it. ^_^ We need more mutants in armor, as they refusal not to even to wear Kevlar is perplexing at best. I know many can heal and are quite hard to hurt, but unless you're actually bullet- and stabbing proof, surely some extra-protection would be preferable to always having heal up painful wounds or the…

'89 is correct. Sorry for getting that one wrong.

My problem with Abrams is that he's too damn focused on his "mystery box" (his term for clues and sub-text) and Wow effects, so his movies quickly descent into sub-sub-text and confusing clues.
Much of his work feels like having a fistful of confetti with half of a clue or decoy-clue thrown into your face, along with…

We try, but in a lot of cases America storms because we're supposedly doing it wrong.

Given that we travel forward in time and can't control speed or direction, would a movie about time travellers who can't steer just be a regular movie?

Given that it doesn't actually do anything to malaria, the amount of Quinine needed to keep malaria away is 660mg per kilogram of weight. At that dosage you'll die before malaria has a chance to do much of anything.

Though, I think it should be pointed out that Abrams originally said that his biggest challenge in making Star Trek was the fact that he was a Star Wars fan since early childhood and never liked Star Trek's storylines.

How about carbon nanotubes. All that's really needed are black fishnet stockings, which i would think is both a win for her economy and the male guests attending the party. ^_^

Why would you do this Google? LG had their chance and it was a disaster, so why would you invite them back to make the next one?Why not keep with the unofficial tradition of having a new company do the phone each year?

True. But America is the kind of friend that when you ask him to help move your couch, you wake up the next morning finding every piece of furniture has been moved. You might like it, yo might accept it and you might hate it, but only moving the couch is out of the question.

Indeed. America should just empty out the congress and replace every member with io9ers from America. ^_^

Would there be any other reason to travel through time or develop the capability to do so?!

Oh, without a doubt there has been done worse in terms of destruction and horror. The human experimentation of Unit 731 and Auschwitz, anti-semitism, Gulags, the use of bio-chemical weapons in Vietnam and so on rival a Nuke in sum-total devastation.
