ON the basis of the review and fellow commentors... I just bought the book. Thoroughly enjoyed The Martian and the film adaptation, so looking forwards to catching this at the cinema.

Exactly the same switch here, and absolutely no issues with it other than the fan noise - I was using it as a 'desktop' switch in my home office (I tried to replace fans with Noconna fans, to no avail), and none of my Macs would connect to it, for exactly the same reasons; no common cipher. Yet...

I can see defence contractors rushing to synthesize this for an "improved" super-soldier with lightning fast reactions.

YouTube adverts in the UK are already at that point. Maybe not created with AI, but certainly very very few ads with "people" seem to be shot with real actors; all the characters appear CGI-animation-esque.

I think thats is the default assumption of many people over the world, at least in democatric countries. And, to be honest, I dont think its far from the truth. I also believe, based on my interactions with LEOs in the UK, US, Germany - that the vast majority of them are decent, honest, and...

Came here to say same. ZDNET have an article, but not read it as ZDNet is not exactly... a reliable source of information, shall we say

Is anyone surprised that YT deletes users on a whim? That there is literally no recourse? No human to reach out to?\ YT happily takes money to advertise scams, duplicitous products, even downright dangerous products. The current video Im getting tallks about a blood presure monitor that is...

Nah, that was done in Excel 97 ;) View: https://youtu.be/-gYb5GUs0dM?t=11

So a kid did something for fun, possibly thinking nothing would come of it - and found he made a few $thousands because other peoples greeed.... and had a kids natural reaction. Good for him. Its not a lot different to something that happened at the Tate Gallery about 20 years ago. An...

For those of us in the UK, the decline started when Marathons were renamed Snickers. The bar became smaller. Then a few years back, they closed the UK factory. And as with every other former UK-produced cholocate bar, the receipe changed. Apologies to our American cousins, but US chocolate is...

Can you name the authors? I have used "homemade candy book" and have dozens of results, but none that are out of print / 30+ years old. I'd take an Ars' recommendation over some random internet person.... ;)

Y'all are aware that this is a film, that the dialogue is simply dialogue, and not what the character believes, as the character does not exist, yeah? :) It is nothing more than the writers' dialogue driving the story, and the comment "i dont know the tech stuff" does NOT mean "he was told by...

But the two were unrelated: Cameron did not do T1 in order to do Aliens. T1 was written and produced before he was offered Aliens.

Yep, anf Fast Hack’em to do so :) I bought my first 1541 an d mps801 printer together, as a bundle at the then-amazing price of £199.99 xmas 1985. Took me a while to get the second… but was worth it fir dual drive copying.

I did, mainly on 8-bit micros, C64 in the main, but also TRS-80 and Apple. Up until 1987 when I moved to Amiga. In 1991 -94 I was working in an an IT role, and everything was 3 1/2" floppy. Why were they called floppies? Because the original 8" and 5.25" "diskettes" were a thing, floppy medium...

How on earth did they end up with 5.25" floppy disks in 1998? I dont recall seeing a 5.25" floppy post 1989... by 1991 I dont recall seeing the drives either

A quick question to anyone who has played MW5 I *loved Mechwarrior, MW2, Mercs, the lot. And then MW4 came out and it was awful. Why? In all the previous versions, the mechs had inertia. No mech could acclerate like Usain Bolt, spin on a dime, and stop on a spot. MW4 felt as though regardless...

Same here. Im that old that I am realising that death sucks, basically. ;) But I do miss bash.org

Scientist: "SuperAI. Is there a God?" SuperAI: "There is. Now."

My bad on original post.
