In the third film in this franchise, a Velociraptor resonating chamber is recreated via 3D printing tech and the human protagonists of the film are able to talk to the raptors using this resonating chamber.

Please dismiss troll commenter Gnarly Rae Jepsen

The troll comment about Margaret Sanger is no longer liked by Kyle but the comment is still here, being a troll. :-/

Have fun

He’s crisp rat!

Speaking as a person trained in paleontology in this post Jurassic Park age, Ellie and Grant are fictional characters who are cool and interesting. Ian Malcolm is more like problematic academic hipster cool; he’s the professor who gets stoned a lot and gets too close to his students.

There is a comment thread on John Walker’s other Indie Games wishlist article yesterday which goes into some of the possible logic of the slideshows; best thinking on display there is that the added time of clicking through displays ads for longer , so maybe it’s not a matter of ad abundance in space but instead of…

G/O Media’s owners appear to make demands of their employees that do not improve the quality of the G/O Media blogs. One of these demands is the request that some articles are in slideshow format. That is an example of an insipid employer request; it does nothing to improve the product, it just annoys customers.

I forgot that John Walker is a UK employee of G/O Media, not a US employee. Employees in different countries are under different contracts, so maybe his contract doesn’t tell him he has to do x number of slideshow articles a week or else face potential termination.

The text content on slide 2 correctly says that pterosaurs were not dinosaurs, which makes the text content on slide 1 confusing, because it makes it sound like pterosaurs are part of Dinosauria.

I liked seeing behind the scenes things from io9's Germain Lussier and James Whitbrook; I’m glad that the two of them were able to travel to Anaheim and give us views at SWC.
