hahaha... it would be interesting if vernor vinge's "zones of thought" ends up being correct....
@ilovemydogdub: yeah, that movie is pseudo-science trash... just really really awful stuff that takes science fictional notions of physics and math as truth and reality and then takes off from there.... if you do a net search for almost any of the "experiments" shown in the movie like the crystals or snowflakes or…
argh... what's with that ass covering FLAP?
@harlemite: totally agree... moon wasn't great sci fi for me because of just gigantic gaps in logic... the central plot premise was so convoluted and UNNECESSARY that it kinda just spoiled the movie for me.
@Tamírki: haha nice!

@slowurroll: was your doctor tim wattley too?! with the penthouses in the waiting room?

@Too.Tired.To.Sleep: right... i meant it more... figuratively? inasmuch as the u.s. has fort knox and other countries store gold reserves as well.
@Oshrilkal: ok... that just sounds like the only kind of sporting event i would ever willingly watch.
@bitgod: right... at $70 a month minimum for 2 years, that's like a $2000 purchase all said.
