[scifinoir2] Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. the box office

2010-08-21 Thread B Smith
Finally got to see it and I loved it. It's a great mash up of a comic book, 
videogame and romance genres. The pacing is a little rushed but they cover a 
lot material. Unfortunately a couple of characters(Kim and Envy) get shorted 
but that couldn't be helped. It can be a little daunting for the uninitiated 
but if you let yourself get caught up in it's magic it's quite the ride.

Cera was a bit unlikeable at times but comic book Scott has same issues. The 
supporting cast was dead solid perfect. Mary Elizabeth Winstead was a good 
choice and gets some good acting in as Ramona. Ellen Wong was perfect as the 
lovelorn Knives Chau. Kieran Caulkin nearly steals the movie as Wallace Wells. 

I can see why it left some folks cold because it's a very niche film but a very 
good one.

 CBS News: Breaking News Alert Aug. 21, 2010

Swedish prosecutors withdrew an arrest warrant for Julian Assange, saying
that rape suspicions against the WikiLeaks founder turned out to be
baseless. Assange, who last month released 70,000 documents on the
Afghanistan war and plans to release 15,000 more, much to the chagrin of the
Obama administration, earlier referred to the claims as a dirty trick.

 It is generally known thing that every nation and race in the world has

 the past there was more cult monsters. Every nation has had some of his

Re: [scifinoir2] Malware implicated in fatal Spanair plane crash

2010-08-21 Thread Mr. Worf
Back during the Y2K days there was talk about this as well. A lot of the old
airplanes were using Windows NT 3.51 and downloaded software updates. Which
was already old then! (You'd think that they would use something a bit more
secure right?) One of the fears was that some hacker would install a worm
that would allow them to take over the autopilot and crash planes at will.
This story lets us know that it is still a possibility.

Re: [scifinoir2] Clone Wars Great Fun on Cartoon Network

2010-08-21 Thread Keith Johnson
I agree. I was skeptical of the current CGI version, both because I'm not a 
super fan of CGI (overdone, often average, pushing out traditional animation), 
and because I was afraid it'd be too juvenile in tone. Tartokovsky's 2D 
animated version set the bar very high as well. But the current program gets 
better with every season, and seems to be getting more mature in tone as well. 
Like I said: surgery on infants, attempts to kill them when the gig was up? 
Unexpected.

I love the animated series. I don't think of them as being related to the 
movies at all even though they are the same characters. The series is very 
consistent in the level of action and good writing. Its a joy to watch.

speaking of all our conversations about how the Star Wars movies lost quality 
over time, do you watch The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network? Tonight, nursing a 
summer cold and listening to major rainstorms, I sat down and watched a 
two-part ep tonight, and I must say I was impressed! The story centered around 
a bounty hunter named Cad Bane, who has stolen information about several Force 
sensitive children. At the future Emperor's behest, Bane sets off to kidnap the 
children. Darth Siddious then would have the children operated on to force 
their premature growth in the Force, and use them as a type of living remote 
sensing spies bound to his will. 

This was one exciting hour. The action was non-stop, there were lots of good 
battles, both in space and hand-to-hand, and even the acting was good. The 
voice actor behind Bane was suitably menacing, as were the others. And the way 
the subject matter was handled was pretty surprising for a kid friendly show. 
When the robot Siddious orders to operate on one of the children points out 
that the child might not survive, he replies, In that case I still lose 
nothing. Later, with the Jedi on the way, he orders the entire hideout 
destroyed, fully intending to kill the kidnapped infants as well. 

The music, action, acting, writing, and vivid colors on display all combined to 
make this a really fun hour. I can honestly say that The Clone Wars is in the 
main far superiour to the vast bulk of all the recent Star Wars movies. I could 
honestly watch this series on DVD, coupled with Gendy Tartokovsky's animated 
Clone Wars, and never watch the three prequel movies again, and be very, very 
satisfied.

In the Wired story (which isn't on their page anymore (??)), they describe
the team he uses to dig up his facts. Sounds a lot like the team in the AMC

 *(CBS/AP) * *Updated at 11:12 p.m. ET*

 Haiti's electoral council on Friday ruled that hip hop-artist Wyclef Jean
 cannot run for president, ending his outsider's bid to lead the
 reconstruction of the earthquake-ravaged Caribbean island.

 Special Section: Haiti | The Road to 
 Recoveryhttp://www.cbsnews.com/2718-202_162-451.html


 Council spokesman Richard Dumel said election officials have accepted 19
 candidacies and rejected 15 others. The Haitian-born singer's candidacy was
 turned down because he did not meet the residency requirement of having
 lived in Haiti for five years before the Nov. 28 election.

 Jean, whose parents brought him to the United States as a child, has lived
 off and on in Haiti in recent years. In 2007 he was named roving ambassador
 to Haiti by President Rene Preval, an appointment he says qualifies him to
 run for president of the country.

 Crowds had gathered outside the council's office before the decision was
 announced late Friday. The decision had already been postponed once this
 week,

 Supporters of the former Fugees frontman had said before the ruling that
 they suspected members of Haiti's political elite are trying to block his
 campaign.

 Ahead of the expected ruling, Jean moved from a compound outside the
 capital to a hotel around the corner from the electoral commission and his
 family issued a statement saying he was still hoping that he would be
 accepted as a candidate either later Friday or over the weekend.

 Jean, who gained famed as a member of the hip-hop musical group Fugees
 before building a solo career, has no political organization, not much of a
 following beyond his fans of his music and only a vague platform, casting
 himself as an advocate of Haiti's struggling youth and saying he will ask
 reconstruction donors to help the country's dysfunctional education system.

 He also has faced persistent criticism over alleged financial mismanagement
 at the charity he founded, Yele Haiti.

 On the other hand, he has generated global attention to a race in which
 almost no one outside Haiti could even name any of the candidates.

 If he hadn't been involved, today, no one would be talking about
 candidates in the Haitian presidential election, said Mark Jones, a
 professor of political science at Rice University in Houston.

 The 40-year-old singer's fame and wealth instantly made him a formidable
 candidate in the desperately poor Caribbean nation he left as a boy — though
 some Haitians question the seriousness of his run.

 I don't think he's a politician at all, said Etienne St. Cyr, a pastor
 who helps at a camp for homeless earthquake survivors at the Petionville
 Country Club. Maybe he's not what we need right now.

 St. Cyr said Jean has not won over the people camped in squalid tents on
 the slope of a golf course, noting they already have allegiances to
 established political parties and the singer has not visited the camp.

 Analysts say it is difficult to assess what kind of support Jean has beyond
 his mainly young and urban fans, but as a well-funded wild card, he has made
 more-established politicians nervous. Earlier this week, Jean said he had
 received death threats from somebody who called and told him to get out of
 Haiti.

 The winner of the Nov. 28 election will take charge of Haiti's earthquake
 recovery, coordinating billions of aid dollars in a country with a history
 of political turmoil and corruption. January's earthquake killed an
 estimated 300,000 people and left the capital, Port-au-Prince, in ruins.

 The devastation from the earthquake, coupled with frustration over a weak
 government response, have created an opening for a messianic outsider like
 Jean, said Robert

  There’s an app for almost everything. Now add one that can run
calculations from a supercomputer on a Nexus One phone in real time and
without the need for internet connectivity.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Texas Advanced
Computing Center have created an Android app that can take simulations from
the powerful Ranger supercomputer and solve them further on the mobile
phone.

“The idea of using a phone is to show we can take a device with one chip and
low power to compute a solution so it comes as close to the one solved on a
supercomputer,” John Peterson, a research associate at the Texas Advanced
Computing Center, told Wired.com.

Yeah, but Cap was an idealistic, true blue American even before he gained his 
abilities. Nothing about Hitler's fascist party, its racism, and its obvious 
lust for power would have allowed him to treat with Nazis even before we went

Re: [scifinoir2] Galactic Supervolcano Erupts From Black Hole

2010-08-21 Thread Keith Johnson
Actually, Martin, is this related to, or exactly the same as, the very well 
known phenomenon where the collapsing disk of gas around a black hole produces 
super energetic jets of energy? The jets that are the cause of what we used to 
call quasars? It seems to be the source of the volcano they mention. In other 
black holes with such jets--or in the aftermath of supernovas for that 
matter--there is evidence of the violent outward push of the jets or solar 
winds forcing local gas and dust away from the source. 
The difference here seems to be this new factoid about gas cooling and 
falling toward the center of the galaxy to form stars, but being thwarted by 
the jets. On the flipside, though, I thought that what often happens to gas 
that's pushed away from such a source, is that the shockwaves actually help 
start star formation as they force compression and aggregation of gas particles 
along the path of the outward force.

I meant that the other way around string theory is correct and Hawkings is
wrong. Hawkings believed that the energy/matter would disappear.

Re: [scifinoir2] Android Phones Can Substitute for Supercomputers

2010-08-21 Thread Keith Johnson
Remember when people used to talk about distributed computing, allowing home 
PC's, for example, to be networked together by an agency or university to do 
things such as predict weather patterns or search for extrasolar life? That 
never really took off. I know there are many scientific/educational entities 
out there to which one can give permission to use his computer in such a 
network, but almost no one I know has done it. The main way our PC's nowadays 
participate in such group activities is when they've been hacked and some 
miscreant in Russia or something uses our computers to help send out DOS 
attacks or produce more malware to steal peoples' personal info. 
The potential of cell phones' increasing smartness to join a distributed 
network could be staggering, if such a thing were used for good purposes--and 
willingly. But think of the mischief people could wreak if they managed to 
start hacking those phones on the level they do with PCs nowadays. 
Kinda reminds me of the system Lucius Fox created for Bruce Wayne in The Dark 
Knight, where he turned all the cellphones in Gotham into a giant surveillance 
net--a thing he immediately wanted Bruce to stop using.

Android Phones Can Substitute for Supercomputers

There’s an app for almost everything. Now add one that can run calculations 
from a supercomputer on a Nexus One phone in real time and without the need for 
internet connectivity. 

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Texas Advanced 
Computing Center have created an Android app that can take simulations from the 
powerful Ranger supercomputer and solve them further on the mobile phone. 

“The idea of using a phone is to show we can take a device with one chip and 
low power to compute a solution so it comes as close to the one solved on a 
supercomputer,” John Peterson, a research associate at the Texas Advanced 
Computing Center, told Wired.com.

Re: [scifinoir2] Superimposed Superheroes During Wartime

2010-08-21 Thread Keith Johnson
Right, I'm just saying there's no way Steve Rogers would have been friendly 
with Nazis, no matter what the public perception and party line was. He was the 
type of person who'd never have trusted Hitler, who was racist and fanatical 
from the start. Rogers was ahead of most whites in his time, not being a racist 
at all. One reason Americans looked the other way concerning Hitler was because 
many frankly shared at least a kernel of his anti-Semitic views. 
Also, as for Cap being friendly with Nazis, remember that the whole impetus of 
the Super Soldier program was that elements within the government and military 
feared Fascism greatly, and knew there was a storm coming. Cap was created to 
be the first of an army that they were going to use to fight in what they knew 
was a coming war. So again, given that, Cap wouldn't ever have been this 
friendly with such high level Nazis. Maybe undercover posing as a German-which 
he did often, having done a lot of espionage work before we entered the 
War--but that's it.

Churchill was because he knew better, but that didn't stop Hitler from being on 
the cover of Time magazine and praised by Americans. 


The artist is a bit off on all of this stuff.

Yeah, but Cap was an idealistic, true blue American even before he gained his 
abilities. Nothing about Hitler's fascist party, its racism, and its obvious 
lust for power would have allowed him to treat with Nazis even before we went 
to war with them. After all, many other leaders like Winston Churchill were 
leery of Hitler early in the game too.

I was thinking about that one too. The US was pro-Hitler until he started 
invading his neighbors. I also think Darth Vader would have been a Nazi.

I like these. But the first one -- I'd think that Cap would, at the very least,

Re: [scifinoir2] Galactic Supervolcano Erupts From Black Hole

2010-08-21 Thread Keith Johnson
I don't think so, if my supposition that this is a update of info on an already 
well known phenomenon is true. I don't think this volcanic energy is anything 
that's in the realm of Hawking's theories, but caused by processes that obey 
standard scientific principles. I don't think in this case, as with Hawking, 
we're talking about anything falling into the black hole, being obliterated, or 
even energy coming from an unknown source. 
At least, that's my thought: the articles I've found don't explain the source 
of the energy at all; hence my assumption it's the standard type produced by 
the compression of matter in the accretion disk.

Those are yokai or monsters from folklore. The Big G is doesn't fit in with

  It is generally known thing that every nation and race in the world has
  some taboo and cult related to the supernatural. The supernatural can put
  anything that can not explain it teach any religious way. As we return to
  the past there was more cult monsters. Every nation has had some of his
  examples of the same. Here we see the nightmares and fears of the Japanese.
