Which is actually already going to be an issue with self-*driving* cars - manufacturers may tell you they have a safe autonomous car for you to buy, but you can bet your sweet bippy they won’t stand by that in terms of insurance. On the other hand, I, as a passenger in an autonomous vehicle, will also not take…

I think that’s a common misconception - and since it’s based on the comparison with a computer I’ll use that analogy to explain myself: It’s entirely possible to copy a computer, down to the tiniest component, but imagine copying the computer in front of me *right now, doing exactly what it’s doing*.

The image actually proves it - they end up with two Rikers because the teleporter works like a fax machine; it doesn’t send the one Riker we have to the other end, it creates a new Riker there. The implication very clearly being that the malfunction in question was “not destroying original Riker after copying”.

Abolish computers from post-production for ten years. No, don’t kick me in the face, hear me out... ow. ow!

Maybe canon experts already know how this’ll play but since it’s deliberately left ambiguous which one of them turns bad (god, I hope it’s not “neither, they’re tricked into fighting”!) I hope they didn’t go with Batman in that part.

The "evil literal dick" kliché is, just, sooo trite - I mean, the devil's a lawyer? Original. Selfhappy? Sure, the devil is that, but I'd like to think the actual prince of darkness would go about this better than a beltway douchebag. Debauched? Of course - but again, perhaps the inventor of sin could do better boasts…

Totes agree - while two of the best stories were connected (the ones with that Tooms guy) they had nothing to do with the overall invasion story arc. Also, flukeman, the family of freaks, and a bunch of others...

Hmmm... first after-viewing thought: Pretty cool - then, upon deliberation, I started to realize the short actually fell apart exactly as we're supposed to get the WHAM bit, and the kindly elderly neighbor goes berserk.

"...Apple's cut a lot of corners and it's hard to say what the impact will be on usability and performance..." is, for me, the operative observation here - honestly, I don't care for Jony Ive's direction for Apple at all (Cook is just a figure head, especially compared to the Jobs/Ive tag team dynamic of erstwhile…

Also, Liam Neeson.

You mean like how Billy Bob Thornton does with a couple of toy space shuttles on sticks in "Armageddon"? I can't watch that scene without thinking that both the character and the actor is drunk.

No, it really is *at least* as dumb as the internet would have you think - I mean, damn, even if you ignore the glaring WTF's, like why is Weyland keeping his being still alive a secret, and why the utterly throw-away plot driver of the Engineers wanting to destroy humanity, and yet for all their power can't seem to…

I agree with the characterization - I would elaborate thus: Steve Rogers is one of very few superheroes who wasn't pushed into it in a traumatizing way. Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, Tony Stark had an alienating childhood, and was captured by terrorists, almost killed, and forced to face the dark side of his…

Of note to anyone who enjoys stuff like this, since the article doesn't mention it: The video - and the build - came into being thanks in no small part to Tested, where you can get, just, oodles of Adam building cool stuff, talking about cool stuff, and showing cool stuff (along with cohosts and Tested creators Will…

With 11-year-olds like this, there's still hope for the world...

One is reminded of the immortal words of one captain Blackadder:"You have as much talent for disguise as a giraffe wearing sunglasses trying to sneak into a polarbears-only nightclub".

Yes.

Vaya con Dios, Ralph - a great artist has left the building...

No, sorry, the prequels don't get a pass, even for this.

It's about... meaning, in stead of labels...?
