[scifinoir2] Book Review: 3001 The Final Odyssey
Book Review: 3001 The Final Odyssey The final story in the 2001 series focuses on a long forgotten character from the first book. The character went by the name of Dr. Frank Poole. Poole was the second in command under Dr. David Bowman (Dave) on the spaceship Discovery One with H.A.L. 9000. While Poole was outside of the ship fixing the malfunctioning unit that guides the communication antenna, the pod that he used moved tearing Poole’s space suit and sends him hurdling into space. 3001 picks up approximately 1000 years later when an ice freighter is called on a retrieval mission to the Kuiper belt near Neptune. The freighter locates the body of Frank Poole and he is taken back to a space station and revived. A good portion of the book is spent explaining the world of 3001 through the eyes of Frank Poole, in comparison to the technology that we have today. Clarke does a decent job of painting a picture of how life is in the year 3001 including colonies on multiple planets, and terraforming Mars and Ganymede. There are space elevators that are 20,000km high with huge levels that stretch for miles and space ships that run on vacuum energy. There are subtle changes that are completely different from what you remember reading in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Clarke took the liberty of using “retroactive continuity.” Clarke used his creative license to make subtle changes to the canon of the preceding books stating that they are stories in “parallel worlds.” Some of the dates in the new book were changed to make it more historically accurate. Unfortunately, the book is a little dry at some points where although the world that Clarke created is interesting, there is no suspense or drama to build until the last 1/3 of the book. However, this book does take the time to wrap the story up in a nice neat package. I would only recommend it to folks that are curious about how the story ends. -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!

Re: [scifinoir2] Is Being a Geek a Personality Trait or Way of Life?
Brent, to answer, I think it's a personality trait. Growing up, very few of my friends or family were inclined in that direction. Now, save for my niece, nephews and a few younger cousins, most of my family are D-U-M DUM. I had to have been born with it.

By [ http://www.wired.com/geekdad/author/cebsilver/ ]Curtis Silver August 9, 2010 I have a confession to make to you, dear readers. While I am a geek by most qualifying standards of the definition, my children so far do not share similar interests. Some progress has been made on the older one as he enjoys Anime, but that’s just because it’s less to read than a novel for which he has little interest. The middle one - he likes Star Wars but that is about it. He’s a sportsman at heart, playing football and baseball. While I did play baseball myself for many years, the geek side eventually won out over that. The youngest, my daughter, is my final hope in raising a true geek. Not withstanding, whatever they choose to do that makes them happy, makes me happy and I will not take that away from them because of my own selfish motives. It leads me to think though, what makes a geek? That is, when is that personality trait truly indoctrinated in the brain? When did I become a geek and set upon my own path in geekdom? While I do tend to think I embody the true sense of being a geekdad, I have to wonder what we are doing to raise the next generation of geeks to replace us and when in their lives does that training begin and stop. I suppose it’s sort of like Jedi training, perhaps it never stops. For myself, my father was an engineer, a total math and logic geek. I started out early with logic puzzles and Lego blocks. Of course I was into Star Wars, Star Trek and my father’s expansive science fiction book collection. To that end, anything geeky you can think of, comics and so on, I was into and throughly enjoyed. So in searching my memory, when was the day that the switch in my personality clicked and I was destined to be a geek for life? I don’t think I can pinpoint the day, or the year, but when I [ http://www.livescience.com/culture/children-personality-adults-100804.html ]read an article that claims that age seven is the cutoff for personality development I almost have to agree. The study shows that as early as first grade the personality traits exhibited by children are precursors to adult personality traits. Clearly this doesn’t mean the age appropriate behavior, like whining about having to go to bed and believing there are monsters in the closet. Which there are of course, but as long as you keep the closet doors closed and don’t look at them they can’t get out. Unless they are [ http://terrortube.com/images/articles/aliens_3.jpg ]Aliens or [ http://astro.ic.ac.uk/%7Emortlock/remnants/2009/3006/morlocks.jpg ]Morlocks, in which case you are screwed. “We remain recognizably the same person,” said study author Christopher Nave, a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Riverside. “This speaks to the importance of understanding personality because it does follow us wherever we go across time and contexts.” The study looked at about 2,400 ethnically diverse children in grade school – in Hawaii. I find this statistic of the study to be very interesting. Why Hawaii? In the 1960’s when the study began – how racially diverse was Hawaii? Frankly, I don’t think race is as important as environment. More on that in a moment. The researchers compared personality ratings of the children with video taped interviews 40 years later. While not looking at “geek” as a specific personality trait, some of the traits they did study do carry into certain geek behaviors. They looked at both sides of the following personality traits; talkativeness (verbal fluency), adaptability (coping with new situations), impulsiveness and self-minimizing behavior (humility.) What they found, and what is going to be argued when this study is published in an upcoming issue of the journal [ http://www.sagepub.com/journalsProdDesc.nav?prodId=Journal201952 ]Social Psychological and Personality Science, is that the traits as they were exhibited by children directly translated to similar traits in adults. The challenge there is that these are pretty basic traits of general psychology. I learned about these behaviors in Psychology 101, and either side of any of these traits could be applied to almost anyone. Also, starting a study in the 1960’s to now could be something that could challenge the validity of the study. A lot has changed since the 1960’s. The 70’s were turbulent times. The 80’s had [

Republicans tend to use Twitter for outreach purposes, while Democrats use the micro-blogging service to demonstrate government transparency, according to a study at the University of Toronto. The report's findings reflect more positively on the Lefties, portraying their online messages as more honest and open. For a blunt description of the difference between outreach and transparency, the report points to a blog post by Edward Felten, director of Princeton University's Center for Information Technology Policy. Here's the difference: Outreach means government telling us what it wants us to hear; transparency means giving us the information that we, the citizens, want to get, Felten wrote. An ideal government provides both outreach and transparency. Felten goes on to say outreach is good because it lets the government disclose what it knows and argue its policies. But when each party's message is lopsided, you never get that well-balanced breakfast of information. The study examined the habits of every U.S. member of Congress who maintains an active Twitter account, as tracked by sites like Tweet Congress. The researchers found that politicians tend to be chattier on Twitter when they've sponsored a lot of bills. The benefit associated with outreach is substantial if Twitter can be used to garner public support for certain policies, which in turn, generates support from political rivals, wrote the University of Toronto's Feng Chi and Nathan Yang in the report. So then is racking up a bunch of Twitter followers the key to political success? We're happy for Arizona Sen. John McCain, who has 1.7 million followers, but the study says more listeners does not mean more success passing bills. Still, we'd like to see how Ashton Kutcher, and his 5.4 million followers, would fare in the Senate. -- Mark Milian twitter.com/markmilian -- If all the world's a stage and we are merely players, who the bloody hell wrote the script? -- Charles E Grant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik

This engrossing process has reached its peak with the technical push that took place due to the endeavors of a number of brilliant and clear intellects of scientists all over the world. The most striking fantasies in this sphere are brought successfully into reality and a great number of robots are in service of people in order to make the process of work or manufacturing automatic. It happens so that people and robots go together in this life side by side, in some spheres of life they are even interchangeable and who knows into what this opposition “Human and Robots” will translate. There are two perceivable outcomes: Robots and humans that live and prosper together…Or robots realize they don’t need as that much… [image: People and Robots together][image: Evil Robots] For now it is up to out fantasy to express what we think will happen in human-robot relations in the future.

Re: [scifinoir2] Small Screens, Big Budgets
Fate, I happened to stick my nose into Bravo a couple of nights ago, remembering back when they were chock full of quality programming. Now, it's two hours of The West Wing and 22 hours of reality TV. Sad and sickening.

The set required 150 tons of steel and includes historical elements like the Baby Incubator, an actual nursery where tourists could gawk at tiny, premature infants. The 12 episodes produced for the first season employed more than 300 crew members, 225 actors in speaking roles and 1,000 extras. It took about 200 days to shoot, twice what a standard network drama would take. Sumptuous historical epics have long been part of screen entertainment, from Cecil B. DeMille to Gone With the Wind, Ben-Hur to Braveheart. Now, a Renaissance is flourishing, and in an unlikely spot—cable TV. As broadcast networks cut back and fill the prime-time schedule with reality shows made on the cheap, pay-cable channels are splurging on lavish period pieces, and spending big money to mount these productions. Many of these series strive for high quality. Virtually all of them also take advantage of the looser cable environment to portray grisly violence, heaving décolletage and more. Some of the most expensive TV series ever produced are coming to cable in the coming months, including Boardwalk Empire, Pillars of the Earth, Camelot and The Borgias. Cable channels are gambling that these sagas will drive interest, boost subscriptions and, perhaps most importantly, bring in revenue from overseas deals. Next year HBO will launch Game of Thrones, a series based on George R. R. Martin's novels about power struggles in a fictional land inspired by medieval Europe. -- If all the world's a stage and we are merely players, who the bloody hell wrote the script? -- Charles E Grant http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=fQUxw9aUVikhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik -- If all the world's a stage and we are merely players, who the bloody hell wrote the script? -- Charles E Grant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik

Re: [scifinoir2] Robots get emotional
I think that the robot army taking over will be a long way off. They may never become sentient just really smart. Some sort of emulation would have to occur down the line that would be similar to an actual brain. (It will be an emulation of neurons or some other process.)
