«Talcott» Carson Daily is almost the next Max Hedroom (he only records individual phrases, and then they are compiled to make custom request shows) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:14pm) «Talcott» I'm just working to evolve the language (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:15pm) «Talcott» everything is done on a computer too. I remember just ten years ago when I thought ATMs were a bit of a novelty (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:16pm) «danced with Lazlo» yeah... while people are getting all pessimistic about the world and the future... I really love this world (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:17pm) «Talcott» I do to. There are things I complain about, but in the end this is a weird but neat time to be around (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:18pm) «Talcott» tooo (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:18pm) «Talcott» too (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:18pm) «danced with Lazlo» i get kind of annoyed at people who keep sighing *what is this world coming to* etc. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:19pm) «iPauley» the last ten words of any organization: "...but this is how we always used to do it..." (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:20pm) «Talcott» Life would be boring if nothing changed. (and this is from me who tends to get anxious about uncertianty) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:22pm) «Talcott» And while things do sometimes change for the worse, those things tend to get reversed down the line (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:22pm) «danced with Lazlo» my father is convinced that we are coming upon a new "Great Awakening" and that it will soon lead to another dark age (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:23pm) «danced with Lazlo» i do not share his pessimism (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:24pm) «danced with Lazlo» i think we're heading in good directions (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:24pm) «danced with Lazlo» i think that a lot of the world is very frightened by that (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:25pm) «Talcott» No. I think we're going to plateau progress-wise at some point, but that is not a dark age either. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:25pm) «iPauley» ok, this is a little disconcerting... using a can of compressed air to blow dust out of the inside of my other computer, I'm about to put the case back together and I see a jumper lying on the table... (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:25pm) «iPauley» ...and no idea where it came from... (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:25pm) «danced with Lazlo» *twilight zone music* (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:25pm) «iPauley» I'm not so much worried about it appearing from nowhere, I'm afraid I somehow blew it off of someplace vital, that'll cause problems when I put the computer back together... (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:26pm) «Talcott» The one thing that I could see change, which wouldn't be a good or a bad thing itself, is I don't think the US will stay the center of everything for too much longer (meaning 50-100 years, not right now), but that's only because other places will (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:27pm) «Talcott» have the resources and interest in taking over the lead in one field or another (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:27pm) «iPauley» Pauley. Different. is always optimistic for a lot of Star Trek's future coming true -- minus, hopefully, world war iii coming in the 2100's (I think that's when it's "scheduled," I'd have to look) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:28pm) «Talcott» India puts out far more movies than the us does. Given a wider audience and similar funding, who knows what would happen. (as just one idea) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:28pm) «Talcott» WWIII came in the 1990s (star trek wise) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:29pm) «Talcott» That's why everything was so run down in first contact (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:29pm) «iPauley» nope, that's the Eugenics wars. WWIII was nuclear, and really really bad (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:29pm) «danced with Lazlo» WWIII was the cold war. It's just not recognized as such. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:29pm) «Talcott» I agree (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:29pm) «iPauley» *grabs the star trek cronology from the bookshelf* ;) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:30pm) «Talcott» But nothing will be called WWIII unless it is nuclear. The name is locked to that meaning (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:30pm) «danced with Lazlo» i don't think it's important where the center of things is (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:30pm) «danced with Lazlo» i think that the world is moving toward complete decentralization (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:31pm) «Talcott» nor do I. I'm just saying that it would be a noticeable change (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:31pm) «danced with Lazlo» Have you read Snowcrash? (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:31pm) «Talcott» yeah. If we could get around the transportation issue, I think we'd be there even sooner (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:31pm) «danced with Lazlo» yep (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:32pm) «Talcott» no, but I'd like to. I still haven't had time for The Chosen though. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:32pm) «Talcott» living daze has a thesis and reading in a week or so (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:32pm) «danced with Lazlo» yeah (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:33pm) «danced with Lazlo» no rush (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:33pm) «danced with Lazlo» just... interesting vision of the future. Not ideal... but interesting. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:33pm) «iPauley» Talcott: In the Star Trek timeline, world war iii took place around 2053. this was established in the original series. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:33pm) «danced with Lazlo» so we have some time (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:34pm) «Talcott» I wonder what could solve the transportation issue. I wonder how realistic mach-X air busses would be (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:34pm) «iPauley» *snort* that's one way of looking at it... (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:34pm) «danced with Lazlo» we need to work on viable hydrogen fuel (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:34pm) «danced with Lazlo» the technology is just about there (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:34pm) «Talcott» We do (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:35pm) «danced with Lazlo» just need more support (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:35pm) «danced with Lazlo» I sincerely hope that this war will help push things further in that direction (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:35pm) «iPauley» The Eugenics wars, precipitated in part by Kahn Noonien Singh, took place from 1992 through 1996. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:36pm) «danced with Lazlo» so many people are convinced that its about oil (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:36pm) «danced with Lazlo» the way to address that is to push for oil to be made obsolete (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:36pm) «Talcott» I do too. I'm letting myself be cautiously optimistic about good comming out of it (aside from the obvious) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:36pm) «danced with Lazlo» right... ultimately it just takes personal energy going in the right direction on a macro-scale (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:37pm) «Talcott» Something that occured to me when you mentioned the cold war. The whole war on terror could wind up helping technology in a somewhat similar way. Not that we'd have a space race, but there would be something to build toward (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:38pm) «iPauley» well, in the short term, I'm crossing my fingers and trying putting Blacker (the other PC) back together, and hope it doesn't explode. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:38pm) «danced with Lazlo» hmmm... exploding computers... (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:38pm) «danced with Lazlo» on top of penguins? (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:39pm) «Talcott» exploding penguins? (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:39pm) «danced with Lazlo» well, traditionally the penguins explode on top of television sets (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:39pm) «danced with Lazlo» so would exploding PCs go on top of non-exploding penguins? (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:40pm) «Talcott» yes, yes they do *nods* (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:40pm) «Talcott» Unless it was a linux machine ;) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:40pm) «iPauley» then the exploding penguin is the PC (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:41pm) «Talcott» ok. What's the weirdest thing you could see actually happening in the next 20yrs? (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:42pm) «soul groove feline» fruvous could get back together (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:43pm) «Talcott» they'd have to break up first (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:44pm) «danced with Lazlo» like that'll ever happen (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:44pm) «Talcott» although along those lines...TMBG could get into the hall of fame (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:44pm) «danced with Lazlo» lol (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:45pm) «soul groove feline» quiet is not going to get into the "fruvous: together or not" argument, though I must say i disagree they're still together (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:45pm) «danced with Lazlo» Stacey... according to them, they have not broken up (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:45pm) «danced with Lazlo» they keep insisting that they still exist as a group (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:46pm) «danced with Lazlo» *shrug* (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:46pm) «Talcott» yeah, and I can't think of any reason they'd lie about that (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:46pm) «soul groove feline» yes, i know, i'm just saying i seriously doubt they'll do something together again as a group. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:46pm) «danced with Lazlo» They already do... they still collaborate. They did one of the theme tunes for >play (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:47pm) «danced with Lazlo» I'm not arguing that anything will or will not happen (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:47pm) «danced with Lazlo» all i'm saying is that it is premature to draw conclusions (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:47pm) «Talcott» yeah. For most other bands, a two-year break is nothing (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:48pm) «Talcott» ok. Different question. What will happen to the internet in 20 years? (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:49pm) «soul groove feline» i don't know. i'm not saying anything about conclusions. i was just saying my opinion. (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:49pm) «danced with Lazlo» Talcott... can't even speculate about that (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:50pm) «danced with Lazlo» too big (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:50pm) «danced with Lazlo» 20 years is a *long ass time* internet-wise (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:51pm) «Talcott» I can't either. I was hoping someone else would be able to for me ;) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:51pm) «I can see the bunny» Stacey - I think you need to get over here for Mariposa this year :) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:51pm) «Talcott» true, but can it keep evolving like this that whole time? I mean, computer have been mostly the same for ten years. Just faster and fancier (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:52pm) «I can see the bunny» oh, and howdy wallers :) (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:52pm) «iPauley» ...and leanne earworms me with "Life Is A Highway" (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:52pm) «danced with Lazlo» well, faster is a huge deal (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:52pm) «danced with Lazlo» every tiny upgrade is speed makes an enormous difference in capability (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:53pm) «I can see the bunny» heh, sorry Pauley - John Cusack movie weekend *g* (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:53pm) «Talcott» right. But while they can do more, if I sent this computer back 10 years, people would be amazed, but not completly shocked (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:53pm) «danced with Lazlo» you saw minority report? (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:53pm) «Talcott» yeah. I want one of those by the way (Mar 20, 2003 @ 8:53pm) « Previous 100 entries | Next 100 entries »
