BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!
I don't watch Big Bang Theory, but my games of Catan have always involved lots of puns about getting wood for sheep.
Good ol' Suckdisk.
What if instead of pretending to have read great works of science fiction in order to appear smarter, I just pretend to ever read anything but science fiction in order to create the illusion that I'm well-rounded, "normal" person?
Psylocke, I believe.
But what if we swore to use them every day and at every opportunity?
By contrast, this movie really shows what a serious and thoughtful addition to the martial arts genre Power Rangers was.
Btw, my new band name is Astronomic Bastard.
Well if you want to start carrying around a smartphone fully of Plutonium-238, I'm sure science can arrange something.
What about Homestuck? Not sure if it's a war per se, but definitely a lot of fighting and Weird Plot Shit, which is largely dependent on paradox space, ectobiology (primarily the cloning of people and creatures via temporal teleportation that end up going back in time and becoming the thing originally teleported), and stable time loops. Up to this point in the story, it has resulted in the destruction (and creation) of multiple universes. [mspaintadventures.com]
Hearted.
The Brave Little Toaster! THANK YOU! I have been explaining to people for years why Brave Little Toaster is fucked up and traumatizing. That movie is the reason that now, while I don't care what happens to most humans in movies, I can't even watch a scene that has some cute little robot or anthropomorphized inanimate object have something bad happen to it.
If it is a prank, was the play chosen simply for the title, which would no doubt accurately describe the reaction of the Internet to this announcement?
At least now we'll know where all the rich people are living after the nuclear war, while the rest of us are living in schoolbuses buried in permafrost, eating rats and waiting for Zefram Cochrane to show up.

I don't think anyone is saying that they wished he'd died peacefully in bed. I think they're saying that if he's going to die in action, doing it by falling off of a scaffold while failing to fight a dimestore villain is pretty crappy, considering how many times he's saved the Federation.
Incidentally, one of my favorite comments EVER was from an io9 post lamenting "the greatest captain in Starfleet history dying by falling off of a rusty scaffold." The very first reply was, "Picard fell off of a rusty scaffold?"

I don't know about FTL, but you could get closer to the speed of light for the same amount of energy investment. But since energy requirements increase asymptotically, you wouldn't be able to get to the speed of light unless you had zero mass (and maybe not then). That's my understanding anyway, but IANAP.
I'll admit my girlfriend and I watched Pirates when it came out, since we were intrigued by the big-budget, full-length (ha!) idea. But the most frustrating thing was that the script was incredibly terrible. A couple of the actors (the captain in particular was channeling an awesome Zapp Brannigan thing) were actually pretty good, but the dialogue was the worst. If they'd diverted a tiny amount of the shitty CGI skeleton part of their $1 million budget to paying a screenwriter, it would have approached, I dunno, being merely as shitty as Pirates of the Caribbean 2-4. Plus sex. I suspect the same will be the case here.
Most of the camo-centric uses in the video (and they show a few others that aren't around making the tank invisible or look like something else), would only be all that useful when the tank is sitting still. A compact car or cow mannequin rampaging through the underbrush is hardly going to look real, but tanks most likely spend a lot of time loitering, in which case they are probably putting out a more manageable amount of heat (and may even be able to run a system like this from batteries with the engine off). And surely an invisible tank that might from some angles have warm exhaust would still be preferable to a big bright tank-shape.
It's a good point though. This tech is surely not as seemingly magical and foolproof as BAE's marketing video makes it seem.

What about Clone High?
