Which I also dry humped... Twice. At several different points in time.

Project pluto anyone?
[en.wikipedia.org]
A standoff nuclear missile designed to "loiter" around an enemy country until the button was pressed to detonate its thermonuclear payload. The propulsions system itself ran on a nuclear reactor... spewing out irradiated material from its engine. It's a missile distilled from ideals of M.A.D. game theory by the United States Strategtic Air Command. #science
It's like a million under construction gifs cried out and were suddenly silenced... #fanzines
Blomkamp HALO... make it so. #neillblomkamp
Hmm...
This exoskeleton seems to be a bit vapourware-ish.
The tether (see all those cables anchored to the body and arms?) is always a cheap trick when it comes to product demonstration, it hides a multitude of three dimensional stabilisation problems. The way the video is produced it seems very much geared towards start up cash.
So many sky cars, and personal hover devices also use the tether and it's only when they can perform untethered, then it's when technology is really worth a damn.
Rant/off.
"affirmation of the sideburn lifestyle"
This is why I'll keep going back to Io9. Agin and agin and agin. You bunch of well written dorks you!!
Every film that proceeds after the original first theatrical release of Donnie Darko -
Including tje STUPID "duh here's a bad CG graphic to duh explain stuffs" STUPID Director's cut, ruins and hurts the original film just that much more... this abomination simply adds more kindling to the pop culture fire.
Also the mere mention of Southland Tales kind of keeps kicking me in the shins about how wrong I was about Kelly as a director.
Goddamit. This is why we can't have nice things.
We3 - Is a previous work with both Morrison and Quietly. I don't like comic books most of the time... but I've got this one. It's doubleplus good.
If this is anything like We3 consider me in.
My guess: Light Refraction from either airborne frost particles, or the frozen lake ice itself causing the light to concentrate and warm the meltwater below.
Nature likes circles. So it's not so weird.
Oh look it's The Descent in space... hmmm.
Has anyone noticed in the clip that Spock and Kirk are both chock full of ham and cheese?
It's made even worse when you've got a counterpoint like Simon Pegg, who seems to be the only actor on the screen that possesses any scrap of subtlety or nuance.
It almost seems like he's just wandered off the street and onto a fight between to angry teleprompters (with the contrast set to eye-blistering).
"Can I get a towel please?"
@ManchuCandidate:
There's a couple of MIM-23 Hawk batteries stuffed in there too. I suspect all of these missiles have been chosen for display due to their remarkably pointy spear-like profiles. War is powerful good lay peoples. Mmmm phallic-licious.
I think not.
But I guess English is a dynamic language... like any living language, so eventually its metamorphosis will be the truncated abbreviation of version of City-speak
But damn if I don't love syntax...
I've played and modded for Operation Flashpoint, and I've also used the Military application of Operation Flashpoint called VBS1.
What needs to be remembered about these training simulators is that these programs are designed to the ground soldier and officer mostly about combat logistics, simplified elements of MOUT and engaging an enemy or groups of enemies effectively on a squad, battalion and combined operations level.
There is a sufficient level or realism to teach you about ground troop movements. Eg. If a group of soldiers online run out of ammunition halfway through a prolonged and pitched firefight with no means of an ordnance resupply, you as an officer have stuffed up somehow. Generally in Operation Flashpoint if you send a fire team with minimal AT support against a group of troops with IFV support, they're going to get cut to pieces. In the battlefield you can play the same scenario over and over again and work out ways of effectively deploying troops and not letting them get pinned down with no means of securing an area or means to route if they are outgunned by a superior fighting force.
As a first person shooter... OFP and VBS1 or any computerised fighting system WILL SIMPLY NOT teach the infantryman much about how to properly and effectively operate small arms, communications, basic survival training, crew supported weapons and or how to drive and operate a particular vehicle class or weapon system.
The soldier still needs to learn these skills during maneuvers and first and foremost in actual lessons taught and drilled by people who know each of these elements inside and out.
But yes, I can definitely see the value of such a computer simulators which is especially useful during combined operations with up to 800 or so operators online. It's much cheaper and more effective in terms of wargaming and maneuvers. Especially in this day and age where fuel and everything else is at a premium...
The final frontier has never been so heartbreaking

Interestingly, this is a yet another case of life imitating art.
Sooner or later fact and science fiction will attain some sort of singularity and we'll all have to go home and read longingly about a time when we didn't know much of anything at all...
