Re: Big Sister (40k/???)

Wait wait wait - twenty organs? The usual total in the fluff is nineteen. Someone wouldn't be cloning linker cores into the Legions, would they?

Re: Big Sister (40k/???)

I just think it's funny as hell that you got the GEoM to play a game of Warhammer 40K. His reaction to Ga'ri is the same one I get from reading the new special characters in each published codex.

Re: Big Sister (40k/???)

She doesn't have to have anything to do with the Emperor or Earth. Remember that the Primarchs were scattered into the Warp - they could have met anyone from anywhere from anywhen.

Re: Big Sister (40k/???)

I have a guess as to the identity of Ga'ri. It knida surprised me when it jumped into my head - but it would be very interesting if I'm right. Hope I am.

The first time we see him, he's just managed to deface a famous monument that is a)freaking huge and b)in full view of the village. At that point he didn't know shadow clone or the chakra climbing technique, so his mob...

Re: Australian Federal Election thread - 2010 edition.

Heh. The most TV I'm watched in months, as well. Looks like Gillard can probably thank Anna Bligh for the hung parliament; odds are the reason Labor lost so many Queensland seats is because Bligh is an incompetent idiot and we're stuck with her for another two years, so we took it out on the nation...

This gives me hope that the Greens will control the Senate - I just hopes they didn't sell too much for it.

Re: Any decent use for space-capable organic technology?

I've always liked the biotechnology from Peter F. Hamilton's books. Even without the obviously magitech "patterning cells" that allow FTL and extracting energy from the fabric of space-time, there were some very good ideas. The orbital habitats, even without being sentient, seemed well des...

Re: Science fiction books that you feel are way above average

Stuff I personally recommend: A Fire upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. Like Larry Niven's books Footfall and The Mote in God's Eye, this has very well developed non-human aliens with non-human ways of thought that ascend from their biology. It also has an interstellar Usenet, which has been used to lau...

Re: Battlestar Galactica vs Honor Harrington

Some other tactical points to consider: 1.You'll probably never find anything bigger than a cruiser unescorted, and task groups tend to unify their anti-missile systems, as seen in The Short Victorious War . That battle is analysed in the next book as well, and the words "missile defense net&qu...

Re: How Should Judge Candlass Rule?

I have to agree with the majority opinion that her legal rights as an American citizen have been violated.

Aging does not work that way . I could see there being after-effects, but nothing that immediate; there just wasn't enough time for such drastic large-scale changes.
