Please do, Mr Worf. I'd love to see it. Reading this might provide an

[scifinoir2] Re: The Losers Graphic Novels

[B Smith]

I'm really kind of torn that Rucka turned Queen and Country into a purely prose 
novel series because I really enjoyed the graphic novels. Plus I have black and 
white images of Tara Chace and the crew stuck in my head. LOL

That said the novels are even better than the graphic novels. Rucka really 
loves to put his protagonists through the ringer.

Re: [scifinoir2] Wonder why we don't crash like computers? Yale explains

[Mr. Worf]

There's a science radio show on PBS that did a segment on this topic a while
back. They say that sleep does a delete and defragment of the brain so that
is why we do not crash. During the day everything that we see, feel, smell,
hear is stored into a buffer. Some of it will be placed into permanent
storage that will become memories depending on importance. The rest becomes
background noise. When we begin to fall asleep all of those thoughts of the
day that bounce around in our heads is the background noise that is often
deleted. I will look for the show. It is very interesting.

[scifinoir2] India to develope its own OS?

[Kelwyn]

http://www.boingboing.net/2010/05/12/india-to-develop-its.html

The Indian IT ministry has floated the idea of developing a made-in-India 
operating system to reduce the national dependence on foreign software and 
increase resilience to viruses and IT-based attacks.

[scifinoir2] Build the Danged Wall!

Re: [scifinoir2] Wonder why we don't crash like computers? Yale explains

[Martin Baxter]

Amazing post, Mr Worf. I have to say that, on a couple of occasions, I do
feel as though my mental OS has crashed, literally like a computer's.
Chugging right along and then whammo, I'm rebooting, vision coming back from
brown around the edges, unable to move or form cohesive thought. On those
occasions, once I recovered, I went straight to the hospital, fearing that
I'd had a stroke. Nothing of it, though. I had a clean bill of health.

Re: [scifinoir2] McDonald's "Secret Menu"

[Mr. Worf]

There was a guy on youtube that had the "ghetto guide to fastfood" who
talked about customizing the menu at McDs to suit your needs. Like turning a
double cheeseburger into a big mac by asking for extras.

Today, we set out to find the fabled McDonald's Secret Menu. It's a list of a

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: A Really Good Ep of "The Deadliest Warrior"

[Keith Johnson]

What was interesting was how the warriors were separated by four centuries and 
the Zende had metal, yet the fight was so close.  Part of it was the African's 
lack of body armor--or more properly,the Aztec's use of body armor. That Zende 
arrow dipped in strychnine would have been pretty had it struck home. I was 
also concerned that in a close quarters fight, the Aztec's obsidian-studded 
club would give him the advantage. And that might have been the case, fighting 
skills and speed being equal. But they explained the battle was based on 
overall weaponry, and the Zende's overall arsenal was better. Still, had they 
only been able to fight up close, I wonder if he Zende spear or that 
scythe-like weapon could have countered that Aztec club/sword? Guess it would 
indeed depend on speed, skill, and agility. 



They need to add hand-to-hand combat to some of these battles, as that would 
make  hell of a difference in many cases.

Re: [scifinoir2] Playboy 'readers' get 3-D centerfold in June issue

[Martin Baxter]

Hef, I beg to differ.

Personally, 3D doesn't work for me (my brain's wiring being so screwy),. And
I don't read Playboy, not even for the articles. And, most importantly,
women already ARE in 3D.
