    This Is A Warning!

    You cant artificially control and steer the course of natural evolution in a situation like this. Anyway most of the things you have mentioned are not possible now or in the emerging future and will probably be far to complex for a long time. And when I say I support research into this kind of technology I don't mean specifically to be able to create artificial children, but the benefits this line of research can provide for other uses and to further scientific knowledge. And I would much prefer to be a clone (assuming cloning has actually been perfected not just how it is now) than to be a same sex child as essentially it would be the same as being a mono-zygotic twin and have potentially better genetic fitness than a same sex artificial child.

    Thats not true it actually takes very few generations for significant observably changes to occur in a species. But the point i was getting at is sexual dimorphism is on of the key things that helps to increase species survivability and genetic fitness. When we start artifically creating babies from two parents of the same sex, we start losing out on one of the most important aspects of mammal evolution. While I am all for the development of technology to be able to do this, turning it into a widely used consumer product is another matter.

    Spore #1 Torrented Game of 2008

    Thats because Sins of a Solar Empire had nowhere near as much hype and wasn't that big of a game

    jurassic park 2

    Because the later would become some obscure movie that only people like Mina watch as opposed to being hallmark blockbuster movies.

    I have no problem with it from a religious point of view, my problem with it is from an evolutionary point of view.

    YR: The Generals Open Beta

    Is it still using cncnz members?
  9. While I'm glad they are that little bit closer to their next release, I'm a little disappointed that it seems to be set in the same "generic MMO setting". While I may just be jumping to conclusions based on the little information we have been given, I was hoping for something that had a more innovative story like was seen with Earth and Beyond.

    Christmas tree time

    Ours is up now, as it gets left up all year. We just move it to another place in the house and take the Christmas decorations off it during the year.

    Still i would prefer for it to be something minor than to die.

    I think your confusing that with Air New Zealand. Qantas hasnt had a fatality since 51 when they were still flying boats.

    This has nothing to do with gay marriage. I honestly dont care if gay people want to get married. Having a child artificially created from 2 male or 2 female gametes has to be questioned though.

    France looks good, as does British Airways. Qantas meals still look better.

    jurassic park 2

    While i cant remember its name, Mina is right in saying the velociraptors in the movie are actually based of another dinosaur, as raptors are much smaller and slightly different to what was portrayed.

    Red Alert 3 Soundtrack

    Mine had all the track details, only thing missing was the artist details just had "various artists".

    PC Builds

    My suggestion would be if you want to spend the extra, keep the RAM at 3GB and go for a 4870 over a 4850.

    Sounds to me like a prebuilt system.
