The Dali Lama is concerned that his successor will be 'illegitimate'. Let's look at the selection process:

Regardless, I think we should just be thankful the ISS isn't trying to create one of these Replicators.

We need to capitalise on this. Instead of letting the existing religions scoop up the needy, we should create a religion of our own, but make it sciencey to attract a more progressive crowd. Maybe base it on a sci-fi book, something by Clarke or Asimov, or one of their contemporaries. And it should have 'science' in…

I distinctly remember thinking as a child, at about age five or six, that something like this would never happen. The human body seemed so complicated, I thought that scientists would never be able to figure out how nerves work, or if they did, then there would be no way to make artificial ones that would respond to…

That's where I know that song from! Thanks for clearing that up.

Did anybody see the nod to The Waldo Moment? When John Hamm was flicking through the channels, James Lance's presenter character popped up for a second. Pretty cool.

Unlike most people, I want Micheal Bay to keep making Transformers movies. Getting to know new people is a chore, and getting a 'yes' to the question 'Did you see the new Transformers?' makes it so much easier to weed out the morons.

Burton just released Big Eye's, a crime caper based on a true story.

It options its blog for a sexy ITV drama titled 'The Secrets of a Call Centre OS'

What about memory? According to some, a healthy human brain does not forget memories. It may have trouble recalling them, but they're in there.

I've been trying to come up with Clash song title snail puns, but 'Walking the Slidewalk' is already better than anything I could think of.

Channel 4 canceled Utopia and commissioned this. I'm guessing top quality programming is no longer one of their concerns.

Thanks. Happy to have the nature of the problem clear in my mind.

To add to that point:

Is set theory considered pure mathematics? If so, and my understanding of pure mathematics is correct (a study of numbers that is completely abstract, allowing for impossible numbers, i.e, square roots of negative numbers, to be included), then this is simply an issue of semantics. In pure math terms, a number is…

I'm currently trying to get through all of the Golancz SF Masterworks titles, so I'm currently reading two; Ammonite by Nicola Griffiths on Kindle, and the audio book version of Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

I'm keen to see what happens to Roy. With Thea being a potential villain, Ollie dying and him having killed the cop, he seems to have enough tragedy heaped on his shoulders for the writers to be able to explore the heroin addiction arc at some point. I'll admit that he may need another, bigger tragedy to push him over…

I didn't know that. Next time I need to saw something, I shall dispense with the leather work gloves and don a pair of medieval gauntlets instead.
