Re: OT - favorite science fiction-another touchy feelie
Perhaps I should explain something to you geoschmo. There is nothing wrong with self aware AI - read Alexis Gilliland. There is nothing wrong with a symbiosis of organic with computer per se. But it must be a fair exchange of value. And that is where IT went wrong. A game exploit that does NOT exchange value but only knows how to TAKE. Furthermore if you are too stupid to figure out what an ENGINEER is, then I certainly will not tell you.

Re: OT - favorite science fiction-another touchy feelie
Things are looking better already!
1) Do not ask it.
2) Do not give it.
3) Do not tell it.
4) Do not hear it.
5) Do not see it.
6) Do not smell it.
7) Do not feel it.
8) Do not touch it.
9) Do not taste it.
10) Basically do not x it.
Just remove it from your language entirely. It serves no purpose. It only cares for itself. Is that CLEAR ? The language English is endlessly recursive microcodes that mean exactly what you want them to mean. Define the terms in your dictionaries and use them precisely to avoid further abberations like it. I know that is not much help, but I am not the one to decide what goes in the language - you are.

Re: OT - favorite science fiction-another touchy feelie
I do not think the departure is imminent, but let me point out now that it is Ireland.
Sure a little BIT of Heaven fell from out the sky one day. And it nestled in the ocean in a spot not far away. And when the Angels found it sure it looked so sweet and grand. They SAID suppose we leave it for it looks so PEACE FULL there. So they sprinkled it with stardust just to make the SHAM ROCKS grow....
When you go in, to take your first colonizer, be warned that it is full of peace corps.......

I hope you Irish do not mind too much! I am of Irish descent myself, but your island has the only starbase on the planet? Somehow I doubt that too. It should not be too hard to find ALL of them. Surrender and cooperate with the locals. By now just watching this thread you should realize that one incarnation after another I just keep coming back for MORE.

Dragonlord start the thread.
I think that these OT topics are great. It is good to see what other geeks like me like.
Tad Williams can spin a good story.

Re: OT - favorite science fiction-another touchy feelie
LCC, do you realize that almost all of the text in this thread is you, replying to yourself?
19 Non-LCC replies (including this) on 3 full pages of thread.
I'm not sure what your little rant is trying to accomplish, but you yourself said "So unless you have something good to say about an author or title do not say it. Start another thread if you like."
