oh, in case there is a cryogenic scientist here with game dev as their hobby, let me give you a few tips :

- find patient at places where mercy killing is possible and legal, and instead of having them killed, ask them if they wish (or their surviving family member), to be cyrogenic-ed, ALIVE.

- so in the future, instead of trying to revive a dead person, you want to try reviving an alive person (well, alive before being frozen - that is).

- looking at how sperm / semen / egg being frozen and later used (in case of semen, from wiki, is 21 years) i think re-animation of something that not dead is possible.

- for person with indepth knowledge of cyrogenic (if there is here in this forum), is there recorded cases of lab rat being cyrogenic-ed, and then revives? we already start small with sperm, egg, and other anatomy. maybe rat is the next stage?

for animal lover out there, i'm sorry.

Original post by Talroth The saddest thing is, I know students who don't know what that sound is. I think it was stargate SG1 that we were watching, and someone asked what the sound clip at the end of the show credits was,...

This?

yeah, that's the sound. the cost of using internet at that time (per hour) was quite expensive (for my pocket, and i'm a third worlder, still in teenage year) that I *don't* read the internet, I quickly saves game dev articles and read it offline. or other articles, for that matter. if I have question to post, I would write it offline, and post it when i'm online. Usually i'm on for one hour per day.

those are the time.

by now i'm using monthly basis student pricing, so when my pc is on, then i'm online. and I write my post while being online, like right now, instead of copy paste. and I read articles online too. and articles appear faster than those days, too.

TRIVIA: For sites that uses HTML Frame, AFAIK, Internet Explorer have problem saving them - it always save the frame, not the article, even if you *activate* (my slang) the article page. Netscape, on the other hand, saves the currently *activated* frame, whether it's the header, sidebar, or the main article page (usually most tutorial site at that time uses that format).

good old days. nice to hear that sound again.

Original post by irreversible - parallelism (parallel CPU/GPU architecture)

Such things were long before 1995-for example, Elbrus system created mostly by Vladimir Pentkovsky team in Soviet times,in the begining of 90's he migrated in US ans work in Intel.Pentium and so on...

- string theory

I heard about it in the end of 80's

Many people also can dance well,but that's all[smile]

- the US space program being a bit of a laughing stock

Why? Who lough? Ignorants? They always lough,but can dance only (just like robots).
I think you are not right here.

Do you mean incoming "small ice age" (probably begining since 2020's}?
There are such thing like Moulder cycles.

It took me a while to figure out what that long string of consonants was supposed to mean. Then I remembered. The handshake! Given the Warcraft context I thought it was a reference to the hilarious phrases the various critters in that game would say if you clicked on them repeatedly. Say hello to my little friend! is the only one I remember off the top of my head. I remember spending nearly an entire weekend hunting the www for a bootleg of the Warcraft II proto-demo with my brother and a couple of friends. It wasn't a demo of the game that eventually came out but a prototype that demonstrated the direction the game was headed in. The actual game was so much better.

I never had to worry about modem noise waking up the parents, but with thin apartment walls I did get a few complaints from the neighbors.

I am still impressed by the iPhone and its mobile browser displaying full size web pages so elegantly.

It seems only a few years earlier we had devices running Palm OS 4 and 5, which didn't have Wi-Fi and came with 16 mhz cpus and 160x160 black and white screens.

You know what, I also did the pillow thingy to avoid getting busted. Telephone bills weren't a priority for me back then. lol

Btw, awesome onomatopey! lol

I feel silly and old - can anyone link the source to me? :D

'Ive never seen you touch the other elves like that..'

It would be cool to create a device that directly outputted a raw modern signal as sound. Then again, if all is well its just out-of-frequency range whitenoise. My modem used to make some pretty nifty beats when connecting using the right settings.

Original post by Prefect Quote: Original post by Eelco All that I expect that would happen pretty much did, and all of the stuff I knew wouldnt, didnt (robots, AI or biotech of any real world significance, or an energy revolution). The biotech part is debatable. Genetic manipulation of bacteria has become an essential part of production in the pharma industry. Genetically manipulated crops have become very widespread as well. Just because you don't see it in your daily life doesn't mean it's not there.

I know that. But these kind of things are to disruptive biotech as the first steam powered car was to the transportation revolution; give it another century.
