@akarpens: says you. if they're doing what they should be doing, they have nothing to fear. if they are abusing their powers, they BETTER watch out for "little brothers".

it BETTER be optional... or the first thing i'd do is hack it to play the fing THX sound demo on loop or an ultrasonic squeal that deafens everyone when combined with the doppler effect.

@BPL5683: michael gross and reba mcintyre or nothing.

@Kogo: actually, that might be precisely the subversive point of releasing this movie in today's climate.

yeah! that's the first thing i thought of when i saw this - THE LITTLES!!! "we are the littles... doo doo doo do doo doo doo... we are the littles"

what? to have the metroid armor would mean that virtually nothing would make this a "live action" commercial. unless you wanna go with the power ranger soft suit concept, there's no way they can make that armor with those proportions as a "costume" - stan winston or not. and frankly, the cg armor in the end looked…

@houser: right but the claim is not merely for "topically non toxic"... the claim is the grand "non toxic to human cells" period....

@AndwuH: nice. that cracked me up.

@James Valentine: "The goal is a working simulation of the brain, for example, one that you could "feed" medication and see how it would react (is it safe, will the brain melt, will it react in other ways that stop important chemical processes, ect., ect.)."

@The Lab:

@The Lab: right but again, the question is do you need the modeling of every single neuron in order to get a "FUNCTIONAL brain" that is "GOOD ENOUGH".

@transitnap: exactly.

@The Lab: "The issue here is that you can't simulate the behavior of a molecule without modeling the atoms and bond lengths. "
