I agree with "Heaven Forbid". The Onceler doesn't have a face, for a reason. It's a characterization of the (flawed) collective reasoning of for-profit groups like the US trusts. Putting a face to it makes it an individual that can be reviled and defeated, instead of a dangerous and ever-present facet of human nature.

The movie had better do something damn clever if they want to keep the story in-line with the book.

StarCraft != an MMO.
That is all.

Ryan,
I hate to disagree (no, actually I don't), but "the universe rotating around the earth" idea does not add up. You're attempting to use relativity to un-define the universal epicenter, the point away from which all things are moving at a consistent and similar speed, when in fact that point is defined in relative terms. There is no other point away from which all things are consistently moving, the Earth included. That point is defined by all other things, it is not a thing in and of itself. If we follow that to the logical conclusion then this point must be the epicenter, or site of the beginning of the universe's expansion. The beginning of time, if you will.

Physics: 1
Solipsism: 0

Yeah, here's a better look at the movement of all the parts in relation to each other.

You have to imagine the other Milky Way stars out there somewhere moving too, but it gives you the general idea.

Interesting, but it also gives the false impression that the viewer is in a fixed point about which the horizon is rotating. In actuality you're rotating with the horizon, and also traveling with the Earth on a roughly circular track that is in turn moving forward through the galaxy on another circular track, which is moving with the galaxy roughly in a straight line away from the universal epicenter. I think the best view of the earth in relation to nearby stars would be a point some fixed distance from the earth's center of gravity where you could watch it spin.

Still a neato video though, and a lot of work to compile!

You guys are boring. Didn't you have Beavis and Butt-Head when you were growing up? If you had then you'd know that farting on the bus is HILARIOUS, as this kid has obviously learned on his own.

I guess I should mention that I'm anosmic, which makes it all the better.

If it's so much cheaper then why don't we just use blood in printers?

I mean, it's simple economics guys, duh.
