I must be thinking wrong decade. lol Yeah, that is a nice idea, but I wonder how your body absorbs all of it. People have been trying with vitamins for ages, and with almost nothing to show for it. Even if you were to condense it all into one pill, would it be harmful in some ways? If I recall correctly, too much of one protein is harmful, and even though you have that pill, you eat something bad, it could push your body over the edge or poison you (like too much iron in a diet). Then again, I'm probably thinking in archaic form and ideas.

it's a nice read, and there is good reason to research it. In fact, with the research you could solve lots of problems like loss of bone mass from weightlessness in outer space. Make humans durable enough to survive in harsh areas for colonization, and turn human beings into deadly biological warriors. The flaw is that no one has ever managed to do it correctly. They tried back in the 1970's with disastrous results. They figured just changing the DNA and pumping that altered DNA back into a person would do the trick. But usually it ended up killing people. They failed to realise that proteins had to be changed along with the DNA. The DNA is the blueprint and the Proteins are the building blocks and tools to make a good DNA blue print. Problem is managing to alter DNA and proteins without killing a person. The best option is to create a person from scratch with the altered DNA, basically test tube babies. Problem with that is that it's so complex that and dangerous that what we create may likely end up as a "Mistake", a human life form incapable of living, thinking, or full of various defects. It will take decades before we can perfect most of this stuff.

Thanks Ryuki.

As much as many of us hate Bush Jr. He is none the less comedy gold. Thanks for the compliments, but like I said before, I'm not that worthy. lol. I've often wondered what I'd do if I had the option. A part of me really wants to live long. I'll get to see time pass by and maybe stay in touch with those you like. What attracts me the most is that I will still be able to learn new things, to study and teach. Of course, if I could surf the web and play videogames for eternity.... now that would be especially cool too. But there are things that don't change, you may still have to see love ones come and go, live and die. Some may not accept you for what you've become. Although you are no longer flesh and blood, chances are you'll still have to worry (provided you even still have emotion and the capability to do anything) about your health. Do I need a new body, is my OS no better then windows Vista? Do I have backup for my memory and and functions... least I become a virtual vegetable like one would in real life from brain failure. What if I still have to make an income in this form to support myself? Will the bill run up and eventually my power supply cut off? Then there are the doctor's.... err technician bill to keep my running smoothly. Then I'd have to worry about interaction, how would I communicate, or hell, if I can go on the web, how do I avoid scammers, porn, and virtual STD's (viruses of course) from a cookie browser I fell in love with. For all the good, there is the bad. Last think I want in such a place is to have to share a virtual hard drive with psychotic Christopher Walkin and a FPS Dick Chaney (we'll shoot me in the back while playing Halo 9 and claim it was a hunting accident, no less.) from beyond the grave.

I was actually hoping that his fatality would be sort of like his scene from the animated Return of the Joker Movie. The safety gun joke and how he killed Bonk was funny and evil too.

yes, I heard that about the remake. I have to admit, the movies weren't great, bit I really love the robot and it's voice actor's very lively and well done personality. I think only R2-D2 and Wall-E have earned as much love from me when it comes to robotics. As a kid I always wondered about how it would be in a future when your mind is placed in a machine. Technichally you still die, because your body and mind dies. But your memories and possibly your personality may still remain in a machine. Though I have no clue when that will be possible. At best, we can only map and make a blueprint of your mind so far. But it's still a very cool concept. With this technology you could possibly keep someone on par like Einstein around for centuries still helping humanity. But then again, you can preserve a monster like Stalin or a madman like Hitler around for eternity and cause endless conflict.

the world needs more robotics based off Johnny Five!

I don't see any mechs in the near future replacing tanks. Tanks can still go to a ton of places that mech designs are made too impractical to go to. Mech designs would likely be best in urban combat because they can shoot around covers. The Front Mission Games have been the most realistic mech related franchise ever. Search Front Mission 4 videos on youtube to see what I mean. I can only imagine the spidermech design being real useful as a mobile artillery, or if it somehow could function like a spider (climb walls and leap high) then it would be a dangerous machine. If it could climb mountains, it could easily position itself for bombardments or reach higher elevations for tactical advantages. But the chances of them ever making a mech like that in the next 100 years is slim. The real wave of the future for robots is exoskeletons like the ones in Exosquad, Metal Skin Panic Madox-01, and Star Ship Trooper novels (Not the silly movies). Followed by smaller powered armors for basic infantry that you see in some Anime along with enhancement drugs and tracking implants in soldiers.

I like the spider design... but can it even turn? Still better then that bipedal robot that one guy made. It couldn't move without shaking violently and looked like it could of tipped over easily. I think people focus too much in bipedal and should instead design a robot more similar to a centipede or other insect.

try searching them with Japanese text in google or yahoo, even try out the Japanese versions of the same websites. Came across a ton of things. Heck, I even came across those nasty Guyver Hentai images people were talking about before inadvertently (scarred me for life). Doing so really churns out results for what you want found in Japanese media.

Yeah he works at a store. Not really all impressive though, he had a job barely paying as much as mine. Just a few bucks above minimum wage. Still step above my current situation though, I'll give him that. My mom avoids me talking to him, either because she thinks I cause problems with men, or I end up revealing their bad halfs. Go figure.

lol, I thought English mentality was similar to American and french mentality. I didn't think the English women would be on par with Portuguese women.

Don't you mean her brains was "Fried Chicken" Yeah, I hate Diva's with a passion. Never dated one, but I sure as heck don't ever want to date one. The media really has made it hard for relationships to flourish because now because the population is focused on beauty and money instead of say... a good reliable person who'd care about you. You probably wont see Paris Hilton last in a marriage, or most celebrities for that matter. What's happening to celebrities somehow becomes emulated by regular people, and now we have Divorce rate in America that has reached to about 60%. I have grandparents who have been married for 50 years or so, but the generation after them is lucky to even reach a ten year anniversary these days.

Yes, that one was indeed classic. The Pope found his lack of faith disturbing.

A little bit of star wars here and there...

One of the major flaws in robotics is that most of these scientists haven't found away to accurately mimic muscles, or even control the machine properly. Then there is the issue of joints and flexibility. What you need to do is pull together various different technologies together, but most of these groups are content with just creating their own and using it despite the better devices someone else created. Those that do want to use technology from other people are limited by copyrights and contracts. So it's all basically a screw over for whoever knows exactly what is needed to pull off a bipedal mech. Artificial muscles. The idea should be applied to human prosthetics and mechs. I suggest a liquid or gel rather then air, because you'll need the flexible and mass to support bigger things. I came up with the idea as a kid but MGS2's metal gear ray was the first fictional mech to be depicted with the same idea. http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-ga...pressure-video-

ooh, good point Enzyme.

Dude, I hope you change some of the word filters bit so that more incredibly funny words come out. Like the F word being changed to the name of some indian food.

Yeah, i loved the flags, especially that last one towards the end with the fake GN drive. Yeah it looked like it was gonna fall apart, but it was still cool.

So they are basicly the skull and bones club or the Masons?

Some of those miles truly don't care. But there are those guys who claim to hate women and abuse them, but you always see the dating them. There is an aspect of the abuse being rooted in being hateful of women in general.
