@Zachery M.: Personally I prefer "Towering Inferno Escape!" with appropriate fire effects, but to each his own.

@Mark Harris: There's always money in the banana stand.

@crosis101: Yeah, speculative architects are funny like that. Always designing something that makes no sense IRL. But I think there's real merit in the idea, especially if the structure could occupy a whole city block, or even better, 2 or 3 city blocks (connected with bridges). The larger footprint would ease the…

@Cinnamoncanuck: Hearted for classic win!

@Szin: And the bungie jumping off the side of the building would not upset downtown office workers in the slightest.

As a former designer, the idea of putting an entire amusement park in a tower with a skyscraper's footprint makes me all oogly inside. The layout options for attraction design are very intriguing. Not convinced this junk pile is the way to do it, but the idea is awesome.

It seems that your "trying to make this show good through sheer force of will (or "want")" is failing. The "alien trying to understand human emotion" is a tired trope, and never more so than on a show that randomly throws together invasion/occupation cliches like each show's writer has never seen any of the episodes,…

Wait - are you contending that she wasn't put up to this by some producer to help generate publicity (of which, "mission accomplished")?

@sephycloneno15: Treads are very prone to jamming and slipping on their drive wheels, and have a lot of moving parts & joints that can break. They work well when they are ultra-heavy duty & there's an 80 ton tank on top of them, not so well otherwise.

Also happens to be the song that contains my favorite Fripp solo ever, @ 1:25

I'd like to bake 4 and 20 of them in a pie....

@YoungWilliam: @YoungWilliam: Funny, I never thought of that as impossible. It's pretty easy to imagine where photo tech could go if you simply look at where it was 30 years ago and where it is now. I have seen demos of algorithms that function like fractals and "fill in" missing detail as the picture is infinitely…

@Ceropegius: The one in the pic seems nearly moon-sized, in which case I don't think anything, save a few microbes in undersea vents, would survive. The rocks most commonly pictured as hitting the earth are more modestly sized, like a few dozen yards to a couple km across.

@mattjumbo: I think the term "flying car" is a misnomer. Sure, there will be flying vehicles, just as there are now police helicopters over every city. But to reduce a flying vehicle to the noise level and size of a car - and without the terrible down-blast of a Harrier - that's some magic mumbo-jumbo. And btw, a…

I love Blade Runner, but scientifically accurate? Okay, genetic engineered humans - sure. But flying cars? Certainly not by 2019, and likely never. If the world had that sort of (seemingly) quiet, fuel efficient flying car, the world would probably be a *much* different place.

Two words: Bird. Demic. Okay, it's one word.

@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: That was pretty much one of the best "amateur" videos I've seen. Really great camera work, editing, pacing, sound - everything. Steve's a great host, too. And my heart was in my throat for about half of it!

@Damob: Thanks for sharing.

@cortexiphansession: I've been hearing and seeing her all over, and this list finally prompted me to check out her disk on Amazon - $5 mp3 album DL! Can't beat that.
