You mean like Stephen King's Pet Semetary (sic) ? Have you met people who have been brought back to life after a heart attack, with a defibrilator? How about those who have a new heart (actually it's better to transplant a heart and set of lungs, there is a better rate of recovery than just a heart) ? What about a new liver? Eyes? New eyes? There are distinct neuronal parts to the eye ... I think you are being a little juvenile. Perhaps if you are talking about bringing back someone from years ago ...

It's meant to be an ideal, surely; like an altruistic weltanschauung an archteype of the US collective, a zeitgeist superego.

I think it depends if you are talking about one to use or keep. Personally, she so stupid, I wouldn't screw her with your genitalia, unless you had just been infected with a particularly virulent and deadly strain of gonorrhea. You might have different standards.

Kotor 3: Ideas and Suggestions
metadigital replied to Fionavar's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
They're not, that's why I said folded through space-time ... like a quantum wormhole (caused by the collapse of the M5 planet, or the shadow generator). PS I wasn't serious. -
Did you mean you want to put no-good bounty hunters in their place, or you want to put some (as opposed to none) good bounty hunters in their place (wherever that is)?

Kotor 3: Ideas and Suggestions
metadigital replied to Fionavar's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Maybe the pieces of Kreia and adjacent M5 were folded through space-time and crash-landed on Korriban ... really deep, and at an angle so that the remains end up co-incidentally under another tomb ... " -

I'm sorry I can't agree with this "pragmatic science is best" approach. There are innumerable seemingly intractable problems that were solved due to some totally random benefit from research in a different sphere of science. The corollory of your attitude is that "someone" decides what is worth researching in science, which is impractical at best and immoral at worst. This is not just research into preserving people who have lost blood, it is a possible way to preserve organ donors (which is very difficult) and even the recipients! As Kaftan said, there have been examples (not contrived!) in recent times where people have been submerged in sub-zero water for long periods of time and survived. I recall a child (around the Canadian-US border, IIRC) that was revived after hours. As to people discussing the affect on the soul: these bodies aren't dead. Clincally, the autonomic system has shut down, but you have the same issues with people revived with defibrolators: do you believe these people have lost their original souls?

Obsidian Forums Diplomacy Game 1 (OBS-1)
metadigital replied to Reveilled's topic in Pen-and-Paper Gaming
French ships sighted in the Wes. Friends of the Caliph have reported sighting French Naval Warships patrolling the Western Mediterranean. No contact ws made, but it is clear that the unprotected shores of Spain and Africa are being scoped for possible invasion. STOP -
You are confusing NATIONALISM with ALTRUISM. I would hope that any definition of patriotism includes more of the latter and less of the former.

Hate to break it to you, but that's old news. (Maybe if you read a bit more ... )

Nah, Patrick Stewart or Yul Brenner are both better choices. -
Well, if you ask a patriot, I'm sure they will tell you they are fighting for an IDEAL, not an ideology.

Interesting, what we can extrapolate (with whatever degree of precision and accuracy you wish to ascribe ) is the exitence, prevalence and (eventually) the life cycle of a meme! I expect the "Jedi" response will fade with the popularity of the films and the ageing of the respondents, so we will see this meme's presence in society gradually fade. Fascinating. We have no idea what future generations will be mining from our data.

As someone (mentioning no names, Ender) spammed the "Do you like Maths" thread, earlier, I have performed some threadromancy on this venerable favourite. Reading the Sunday Times, there is a new book out from Lisa Randall called Membranes and higher dimensions. It is intersting because in it, she propounds her theory of the higher dimensions and how our four dimensional universe -- called a "brane", as in a membrane -- may exist in a much larger reality -- called a "bulk" -- much the same way as a page (our universe, or brane) fits into a large book (bulk). What is interesting about her theory is that -- in contrast to the earlier proponents in the late twentieth century -- e.g. gravity, can travel between these branes, and so our universe may be subject to our neighbouring branes. This is pretty exciting for physicists trying to understand why gravity is such a weak force, comparitively: perhaps it is leaking away into the bulk, so that the force we feel here in our universe is just a residual ghost. While these theories are familiar to SF fans (e.g. in Star Trek), the theories are now used to predict behaviours with equations. (We'll have to get the book for the equations, unless someone can google it faster than me ...). Reference: WARPED PASSAGES Unravelling the Universe's Hidden Dimensions, by [Professor] Lisa Randall.
