Re: [scifinoir2] Kick Ass
The little girl vampire movie looks like it may be good but the director is the same guy that made Cloverfield.

In a paper published in the journal Nature Communications, Zhu and his colleagues describe the new nanoscale architecture within aluminum alloys that have unprecedented strength but also reasonable plasticity to stretch and not break under stress. Perhaps even more importantly, the technique of creating these nanostructures can be used on many different types of metals. Zhu says the aluminum alloys have unique structural elements that, when combined to form a hierarchical structure at several nanoscale levels, make them super-strong and ductile. The aluminum alloys have small building blocks, called “grains,” that are thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair. Each grain is a tiny crystal less than 100 nanometers in size. Bigger is not better in materials, Zhu says, as smaller grains result in stronger materials. Zhu also says the aluminum alloys have a number of different types of crystal “defects.” Nanocrystals with defects are stronger than perfect crystals. Now, Zhu plans on working on strengthening magnesium, a metal that is even lighter than aluminum. He’s collaborating with the Department of Defense on a project to make magnesium alloys strong enough to be used as body armor for soldiers. Nature Communications - Nanostructural hierarchy increases the strength of aluminium alloys Increasing the strength of metallic alloys while maintaining formability is an interesting challenge for enabling new generations of lightweight structures and technologies. In this paper, we engineer aluminium alloys to contain a hierarchy of nanostructures and possess mechanical properties that expand known performance boundaries – an aerospace-grade 7075 alloy exhibits a yield strength and uniform elongation approaching 1 GPa and 5%, respectively. The nanostructural architecture was observed using novel high-resolution microscopy techniques and comprises a solid solution, free of precipitation, featuring (i) a high density of dislocations, (ii) subnanometre intragranular solute clusters, (iii) two geometries of nanometre-scale intergranular solute structures and (iv) grain sizes tens of nanometres in diameter. Our results demonstrate that this novel architecture offers a design pathway towards a new generation of super-strong materials with new regimes of property-performance space. *If you liked this article, please give it a quick review on Reddithttp://www.reddit.com/, or StumbleUpon http://www.stumbleupon.com/.

Too vivid, even for my twisted brain. The ep I wanted to see was the one at 1 pm Eastern, with MacKenzie Phillips and Colin Mochrie of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, about a UFO nut and a security guard who come into possession of what appears to be a fragment of a UFO that crashed. You can see the twist coming from light-years off (one of them is part of the cover-up), and it still gets you every time. I saw the ep that's on now, with the military droid on the run, last month, so I'm passing on it for Graham Kerr. (Ultra Old School, am I. ) On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 10:39 AM, Keith Johnson keithbjohn...@comcast.netwrote: There's an Outer Limits (the newer series) marathon on SyFy now. The good thing is, because the show's airing was so inconsistent back in the day, I can always find an ep or two I've never seen, seen only partially, or seen only one time. There were some really good shows in that series. The ep on now, however, is one I have trouble watching. It stars Joel Grey as a grief-stricken scientist whose only son died. He secrets funds and parts from the lab where he works to build a robotic son as a substitute, complete with true self-awareness. The problem is, he has to hide this project, both from the lab whose resources he's pilfering, and of course from the world at large, which would treat his son as a freak--or menace. What makes this oft-used scifi trope effective in this show is the combination of touching sadness and faint fear the show engenders. For example, the robot boy is obviously not real: his movements are jerky, his eyes are two balls devoid of sockets or real lids, his mouth is just teeth with no lips. His overall skeleton--only the upper body at first--is metallic, with a small amount of skinlike material on his lower jaw. In short, he looks much like the Terminator skeleton with a bit more human characteristics added. That alone wouldn't be disturbing, but the child actor who voices the robot is so genuine, so emotive, so real, that hearing that voice come out of a near-expressionless face is quite disturbing. The Uncanny Valley effect is really working here. Adding to the growing sense of unease about the child is that when he's angry or hurt, one then sees it not just as a angry child, but a potentially deadly robot whose features are already frankly frightening. It's the Frankenstein's Monster effect again: he may be a child, and act like a child, but he's in a frightening body that can do harm, and his childlike tantrums can turn deadly. The scene that always disturbs me the most is when the dad comes home to find his son with the family cat. Shhh, the son says, he feel asleep, and I'm petting him. He's so pretty The camera pans down to show the lifeless body of the cat, literally shredded to bloody ribbons by the unfeeling metallic hands of the son. He didn't mean to kill the cat, but had no concept of death, his strength, nor an ability to feel. There's something extremely creepy about this robot child have human innocence, but the body and face of a monster, which makes his anguished outburst over realizing he'd killed the cat both poignant and frightening at the same time. You actually feel for the child, but fear the thing in which he's house. Again, like Frankenstein's Monster. One of the better Outer Limits I've ever seen, but I can't sit through it more than once. -- 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 -- 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

[scifinoir2] Science Fiction and the Politics of Catastrophe
http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/P/paik_utopia.html The pitfalls and limitations of utopian politics as revealed by science fiction Revolutionary narratives in recent science fiction graphic novels and films compel audiences to reflect on the politics and societal ills of the day. Through character and story, science fiction brings theory to life, giving shape to the motivations behind the action as well as to the consequences they produce. In From Utopia to Apocalypse, Peter Y. Paik shows how science fiction generates intriguing and profound insights into politics. He reveals that the fantasy of putting annihilating omnipotence to beneficial effect underlies the revolutionary projects that have defined the collective upheavals of the modern age. Paik traces how this political theology is expressed, and indeed literalized, in popular superhero fiction, examining works including Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's graphic novel Watchmen, the science fiction cinema of Jang Joon-Hwan, the manga of Hayao Miyazaki, Alan Moore's V for Vendetta, and the Matrix trilogy. Superhero fantasies are usually seen as compensations for individual feelings of weakness, victimization, and vulnerability. But Paik presents these fantasies as social constructions concerned with questions of political will and the disintegration of democracy rather than with the psychology of the personal. What is urgently at stake, Paik argues, is a critique of the limitations and deadlocks of the political imagination. The utopias dreamed of by totalitarianism, which must be imposed through torture, oppression, and mass imprisonment, nevertheless persist in liberal political systems. With this reality looming throughout, Paik demonstrates the uneasy juxtaposition of saintliness and cynically manipulative realpolitik, of torture and the assertion of human dignity, of cruelty and benevolence.

[scifinoir2] Fwd: Consumer Reports Looks at Latest 3D TVs
Sent this yesterday, but not sure it came through...Sammie recently bought a plasma TV, and I commented on how I much prefer the more vibrant look of plasmas over LCD's, even though most everyone I know tells me LCD is the way to go. Another thing in plasma's favor is that they seem to do better with the up-and-coming 3D technology for the home. Consumer Reports recently did an article on it: August 23, 2010 First Look: New 3D LCD TVs from LG, Sony ClaudioMeter_1 Claudio Ciacci, who heads up TV testing, gets ready to measure crosstalk on 3D TVs. Ever since we tested the first 3D TVs available—a Panasonic VT20-series plasma TV and Samsung 7000- and 8000-series LCD TVs —we've been looking forward to reviewing more 3D TV models. We recently completed testing of newer Panasonic ( VT25 series ) and Samsung ( C7000 and C8000 series) plasma sets, which performed well in the 3D mode, and now have the first 3D TVs from LG Electronic and Sony, all LCD TVs with edge LED backlights . Our preliminary tests of these four new 3D LCD TVs—two from each manufacturer—reinforces our early suspicions that plasma is a better technology than LCD for presenting 3D images. That's because plasma TVs have been relatively free from crosstalk, or ghosted double images that occur when images meant for one eye aren't kept completely separate from the other. On the other hand, all the LCD sets we've tested have had fairly significant levels of crosstalk, which can be distracting and diminish the 3D effect. It's our belief that most viewers will accept slight color shifts or a loss of brightness when watching 3D, but will be less tolerant of significant ghosting, which can also add to eyestrain. It's also important to note that all four TVs are capable of very good to excellent performance with all types of normal high-definition programming. (The Sony HX800 set in our LCD TV Ratings , available to subscribers , delivered excellent overall picture quality.) However, one potential differentiating factor could be viewing angle . The tested Sony, for example, had a fairly narrow viewing angle, narrower than most sets. Other Sony sets we've tested have had average viewing angles for an LCD. LG has typically faired better, with several sets judged very good for viewing angle—among the best we've seen from an LCD set. All these sets will have viewing angle scores when they're added to our TV Ratings. Claudio3D Claudio Ciacci with 3D test patterns that reveal crosstalk. Putting 3D to the test The two LG 3D sets in our labs are the LG 47-inch Infinia 47LX9500 flagship model ($4,300), the first 3D TV we've tested with 480Hz technology, and the 55-inch 55LX6500 ($3,600), a 240Hz set. The LX9500 has a full-array LED backlight, while the LX6500 uses an edge LED backlight that can be locally dimmed, something we've previously seen only on some Samsung models. [Ed. note: In an earlier version of the story, the LX9500 was incorrectly described as an edge-lit model.] Neither model comes with LG's 3D glasses , which sell for $130 per set at both Best Buy and Crutchfield. In addition to the Sony model (the 40-inch KDL-40HX800, $2,100) currently in our TV Ratings, we're now also testing the 52-inch flagship Sony XBR-52LX900 ($3,600). Both feature Sony's 240Hz technology. The higher-priced XBR model comes with two pairs of Sony 3D glasses ($150 per pair), but the HX800 model doesn't come with any. It's also the only model we've encountered that also requires you to buy an external sync transmitter , which costs $50. For our 3D evaluations, all four TVs were tested with a range of 3D content, including 3D Blu-ray movies and 3D programs from the ESPN 3D and DirecTV/Panasonic n3D channels, which were stored on a DirecTV HD DVR. In general, we found the LG sets performed similarly to the Samsung LCD models we've tested, delivering a satisfyingly bright, clear picture with plenty of three-dimensional depth. But we also saw fairly significant ghosting. While crosstalk is typically most evident on higher-contrast content (bright objects against a darker background, for example), which can be challenging even for 3D plasma TVs, the LG showed significant crosstalk across a variety of content, though a tad less intense than with the Samsung sets. Overall we found the ghosting on the LG to be distracting, ultimately detracting from a quality 3D experience. The Sony TVs were the most unusual 3D sets we've tested to date. On one hand they could deliver a very good, especially bright 3D image with visibly less ghosting than we've seen on other LCD-based sets. But that's only if you can keep your head completely vertical to the screen. When we tilted our head to one side even slightly, the ghosting increased dramatically—to a level more severe than we've seen on other sets—and the 3D effect diminished. Apparently, Sony uses only a single polarizer on
