That's what I was alluding to in my previous comment. You also wouldn't necessarily need to wipe the entire database, either; just like any transaction record can have set checkpoints that can act as rollback stops. Like in an electronic banking transaction, if the comm link to the bank clearing house goes down, you only lose the current transaction, not your entire banking history.

A lot of dorm rooms look worse than sewers, too.

Is that where she loses her "flower" again? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't know since I didn't see the first one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me neither, but my teenage step-daughter did, and appraised me of the plot, in a one sentence synopsis. She liked Not Another Teen Movie, too, but I found it very tedious after the first joke ... that was repeated endlessly (until I switched it off after about ten minutes).

Or young, fit and smart enough to pass any of the tests.

I'm impressed, you should keep writing, because such a level of literacy is not common. Also, there is some humour in there! Asimov was an inveterate punner, and he wrote a short story about why puns were not received as well as they might be. It was about the lifecycle of memes, IIRC, and their measurements; the "other intelligence" that created memes in human culture used the endless repitition of jokes as a metric. Puns, as an independent form of humour, only interfered with the process, and so had been hardwired as "unfunny", to avoid excessive interference.

No, but very few realize that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, my name is meta Deconstruction digital. Nice to meet you.

Lewis Caroll swallowed a bag?

You think bull-shido will lead you to fearlessness? The desire to scream and wield some sword is usually the result of some infantile-ninja dream, and as such a desire to be something/somebody. My guess is, you're trying to impress the chicks by posing as some sort of martial-artist. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is there any other reason for doing anything? Seriously, though, courage is not the absence of fear, it is doing what must be done in the presence of fear.

Well it wouldn't be the first substance that is both salty and sweet ... I still thought the Godzilla was bigger. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That annoyed me, too. From that moment on I didn't take the test seriously. ...and I only got eleven, but that's like Wow! Exclamation marks.

Sounds like something from Clockwork Orange ...

You can always switch the AI off. Or reset it. It would interact with a database of some sort, and that can always be reset. Calibrating a difficulty setting might be more problematic, although you could have fin with other settings, like irrational-type emotional equivalents, like impulsiveness (e.g. short circuiting the calculation cycle when the pressure is on) ...

He was basically a swiss army knife on legs, yet in ANH, for example, he had to walk across the Tatooine desert, only to be captured by a rotting runt in a dishcloth ...

Reading lesson for today: Sometimes, people make typos or grammatical errors. In that case, it's time to hone your heuristic skills and analyse the entire sentence. Often, the true meaning and/or intention can be derived from the context in which it was presented. " My guess is he meant Excited Oh, and how about more of them audio updates ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pssst. Gorth: verbum sat sapieti. Unfortunately wisdom is not counted amongst his gifts.

We could start a rumour that it's Homeworld 3.

I heard he got demoted.

Alright, who created a new id just to post that, so that they didn't have to admit to reading books based on Babylon 5? Just come out and admit it, that's the first step ...

I noticed Wild Things 3 in the video store the other day. Must have missed its cinematic release. "

Which neatly brings my point in: the fastest craft is a spacecraft. The Apollo astronauts are the record holders, not atmosphere-bound fighter pilots! I always wanted to be an astronaut. Pity I grew up in the wrong country. And they stopped manned space missions.

Why did everone wake up? Did they want to join in? As the wipper or the wippee?

LA don't have anything to do with graphics engines. They just licence one, they don't build them.

What a great business plan! If they aren't broke from the development cycle overrun by now, that would certainly finish them off!

Mosquitos are bad. My father nearly died from Malaria. They should use some sort of protection.

There have been a couple of recent articles about it; the most recent suggested that it was re-written completely since the E3 premi
