Have to agree with this. Give 10 years and we might see 3D TVs without the glasses. 3D movie screens without the glasses would require something else since it would require not using a projector or some new technology. Glasses-free 3D TVs for about 10 people should be
possible eventually.

I personally like my 3DS, but the 3D camera should have better resolution, waiting for 3D movies on Netflix, and the lack of 3DS games are some major problems.

Or maybe the Doctor that was shot was the duplicate and the Doctor was in the spacesuit.

Our ancestors earned the right to vote. It is something we have to fight for all the time. The belief that they deserve something without willing to fight for it is whats wrong. There are numerous countries where the right to vote is not a basic, unalienable right and the only reason it is not is because those countries have not decided to fight for it. Fortunately, there have been many of those countries that have decided to fight for it this year. Unfortunately, those countries' government have always acted in their best interests rather than the peoples.

For your information, I am not a citizen of the United States. There is a lot of things in the United States that I am appalled by. One of them is the false superiority they display to other countries. Another is the amount of self-entitlement that exists. One of my philosophies is that if you are not willing to work for or defend something when it comes under attack, then it is not that important to a person. The most important things are things that you are willing to work for or defend so if someone is not willing to work for the right to vote or to defend it, then it is not that important.

To you it is morally repugnant. To me it is prudent and effective. We do not live in a "free" society. We vote for which people we want to represent us and hope that they represent us in a fair manner. If there is a majority, then we have a democratic dictatorship. Effective voting on every issue requires clear knowledge of the issue by each voter instead of the cursory knowledge that most voters have. Why should some ignorant hillbilly vote for which scientific research to be funded when they don't have a clue about the potential rewards of it. Besides, the government in Starship Troopers appears to be more of a Direct Democracy than a Representative Democracy so it would be more accurate to consider all voters to have the same level of power as an elected official rather than regular citizens. Elected officials have to work to be elected so they earn the right to vote. Our vote only means something every four years while an elected official's vote means something every time a vote is called.

As far as your claim about the government exists to serve the people not itself, the more people involved in voting, the less power one individual can have. If people cared about how their government is run, then they could earn the right to vote provided that there is no repugnant restrictions like race, gender, or preference. I find self-entitlement to be far more repugnant than earning the right to vote. If people got more involved in the government and don't let someone else to do it, then votes would have more meaning.

Oh and IBTL or IBTD.

Going to have to explain how Fascism equals only allowing people that serve their country to vote. Switzerland has compulsory military service and no one would consider it to be a fascist country. Most healthy males have about 1 year to vote before they have to serve their country. Since the voting age is 18 and the drafting age starts at 19. Therefore, most male Switzerland citizens have served their country before doing much voting. At least Starship Troopers allows people to choose if they want to serve or vote.

Also, the article doesn't mention anything about fascism. It just talks about the controversy of voting being earned not freely given. I have to agree with votes being earned since voting should require people to care for their country and military service is an effective way to prove that a person care more for their country than themselves.

Anarchy Online has Insurance Terminals that insure your XP. So playing for 2 hours and dying without using the Insurance Terminal would make you lose all the XP you gained for that play session.

STO has respawn points.

Incarnate abilities aren't magic origin. Incarnate is the original origin before it split up and became Science, Technology, Natural, Magic, and Mutant. Kind of like the theory where gravity, electromagnetism, weak, and strong forces were originally one force at the beginning of the universe.

I suppose Natural could be explained through either they had some latent alien DNA that wakened up or through extensive training and meditation, they were able to pass some impossible barrier and achieve enlightenment.

Yes and No. Any reference to the intelligence controlling the TARDIS has to use Sexy. Referring to the blue box or any Time Lord's ship is still TARDIS. For example, Sexy takes us to the end of the universe. The Doctor lives in the TARDIS. Although, I suppose it would make for some interesting dialog. The Doctor lives in Sexy.

On second thought, it would depend on what Sexy is. If Sexy is a living organism that controls the TARDIS, then Sexy and TARDIS are two different things. If Sexy is the mind and TARDIS is the body, then we have to call the TARDIS Sexy.

The Only Certain Way for people to be spoiler free.

I always thought of the TARDIS having a consciousness that is so far beyond our understanding that there is no possible hope for us to understand it. She decided to kidnap the Doctor to explore the universe. She decides where the Doctor needs to go which explains why the Doctor is always at the right place and right time. The TARDIS is more alive than the automatons that live on the Earth whose entire life consists of getting up, work, go to bar, come home, watch TV, then sleep or some other routine where all thought has been destroyed.
