Snow Bunny Nidalee for 2k upvotes!
7 Attachment(s)
10/21/2012 - I got Snow Bunny Nidalee!! Hippalus, thank you SO very much for making a HUGE dream come true!
I can not deny my heart racing when I noticed I was logged off my account. The moment I saw the skin on my account, I burst out into tears. Nothing could of possibly made me happier. Thank you so very much for completing this skin trade for me! I traded my Dreadknight Nasus skin for Grandim's Snow Bunny Nidalee. I have to thank this generous summoner for giving up his Snow Bunny Nidalee for me! GD, I would not be sitting here holding my heart inside my chest from exploding if it wasn't for all the support I've gotten throughout this thread. I didn't think I'd be sitting here, ever, screaming with the satisfaction of finally owning Snow Bunny Nidalee. Thank you all SO very much! <3 Quote:
I was directed to a thread from a friend of mine that has encouraged me towards creating this. Recently a summoner asked for Rusty Blitzcrank. He achieved the skin for hitting 2000 upvotes. I am very happy that this summoner got his Rusty Blitzcrank, now I am hoping the community will hear me out, and perhaps I may have something similar to the user transfer that was used to obtain Snow Bunny Nidalee onto my account! Thread; http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=1423184 Quote:
Please read the entire thing before making any judgments! Thank you very much in advance! I joined League Of Legends a year and a half ago. Since I joined, I've desired nothing more than Snow Bunny Nidalee. Within the first week of my adventures on Summoners Rift, I was absolutely terrible. Most of my time was spent looking through the champions, and their skins. When I first saw Snow Bunny, the fan girl in me went through the roof. Without any knowledge of this game, or even if I was going to still be playing the game in a weeks time, I got a prepaid credit card so I may purchase RP. When the harsh realization hit that Snow Bunny was no longer available, I gave the card information to my friend so he could buy Nurse Akali. http://i.imgur.com/omqFJ.jpg When I first came onto the forums, I embarrassed myself with hopes of having Snow Bunny Nidalee unlocked onto my account. Seeing as how it was my first time on any sort of forums, i went way over my head. While this thread was open, I heard of a summoner who was gifted Snow Bunny Nidalee as a reward for her Nidalee cosplay. My heart exploded. Needless to say, shortly afterwards I had a bunch of pink fur fabric in my closet.. During the time that I humiliated the life out of myself on that thread, I was offered by a very generous summoner to show me Snow Bunny Nidalee, seeing as how I've never seen it in game at that point. Now, for an embarrassing video! Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-LzdAfwoqc&feature=plcp When the Harroween Contest came into play this time last year, I decided to enter with a Riven Cosplay. I rushed to put this cosplay together in time to enter. 3 weeks went towards me waking up early to work no my costume, go to my job for 9 hours, come home to work late on my costume, and sleep for 5 hours or so. I was so nervous uploading it to the forums. After my previous posts, it took a lot of encouragement from my friends for me to upload it. To my surprise, my Riven cosplay got very popular! I was flooded with amazing comments from GD and Rioters! I really believed I had a shot at winning the contest. I've actually never won any sort of reward or contest in my life, so nothing had me more excited to run home the night that the rewards were being announced! 1850 + up votes later, I was sadly not even rewarded with an honorable mention. Needless to say, my spirits were crushed. My Riven Cosplay Thread; http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...ight=ecliptika After the Harroween contest drama was over, I decided to not continue towards making my Nidalee costume. If I was in a position where I can attend PAX, Anime North, etc.. My situation would of been different. But seeing as how my intentions were to obtain Snow Bunny Nidalee, I didn't have faith anymore. Months later, with a lot of encouragement from my friends, along with a bit of complaining, I decided to continue with creating my Snow Bunny Nidalee cosplay. In total, it took me approximately 4 months to finish my costume once I really got started on it. Nothing was "good enough" to justify Snow Bunny Nidalee in my eyes. Once my cosplay was complete, and my thread was posted in General Discussion, I kept my hopes high for the skin. I was disappointed to see a Rioter had moved my thread to Fan Art without any mention as to why. Now, seeing as how fan art is the ideal spot to have creations such as cosplays, I believed I wasn't going to get enough attention there to have my cosplay noticed and potentially have Snow Bunny Nidalee unlocked onto my account. My Nidalee Cosplay; http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/206193_10151880526860241_1244498044_n.jpg At that point, I decided to submit a support ticket.... After a week and a half of continually refreshing the same page over and over anxious to hear back from Riot, I finally got my reply. Sadly, it was not in my best interests. My request was rejected. I was heartbroken. I strongly believed that I had a shot at getting Snow Bunny Nidalee unlocked. I kept my support ticket open for 3 and a half months. I didn't want to take no as an answer, even though I saw myself turning into one of those whimpering puppies. I finally gave up on the support ticket. I have read the response "Nope. Sorry" too many times. This doesn't mean I have given up on obtaining Snow Bunny Nidalee. If you want something bad enough, fight for it. For my own satisfaction, I decided to do a few new touch ups to my Snow Bunny Nidalee cosplay. In my eyes, if I can't have her in pixel form, I'm going to try and bring it to life as much as I possibly can. That's my sole purpose for cosplaying. I booked studio time with a well known photographer in Ottawa so I may get some professional shots of my cosplay. Sadly, a week before my photo shoot, I got VERY sick. I was working on my cosplay while dying in my death bed. The day of the photo shoot came around. I was still unbelievably sick, and still had pieces that needed to be touched up. In a rush to finish, and without thinking, I severely burnt my back. Ironically, I now have a scar in the shape of a broken spear. WARNING: Please don't click this image if you don't want to see a disgusting burn. :/ http://imgur.com/BOzit . Even though I was still recovering from my cold, and that I just burnt my back with 4 pumps of hot glue, I still went to the photo shoot. This image is not completed yet, but I feel the need to share it with the community; http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/155142_10152143587630241_77582692_n.jpg I can't wait to share more of my Snow Bunny Nidalee Cosplay with cougar form! Their have been a few questions towards my "spending's" throughout my thread, seeing as how the guy for Rusty Blitzcrank has over 200 skins. Snow Bunny Nidalee is not the only passion I have towards League Of Legends. Within the year and a half that I've been summoned to the Fields Of Justice, I have played over 3000 normal games (Around 135000 minutes). Purchased over $1000.00 worth of RP. I have 104 skins, 16 rune pages, 90 champions unlocked, and I currently have 3.3k RP and 11.7k IP. I've recruited a mass amount of friends and their friends to downloading League Of Legends (sadly nobody ever entered me in as a recruiter). I own an Emumu, Shen, Nidalee and a League Of Legends Logo T-shirts. 2 League Of Legends hoodies. A Baron Nashor Pillow that I freaking adore! 2 Lanyards and a Katarina Water bottle. While I do have Ebay to thank a lot for 1/2 of my merchandise, I can guarantee it will only increase once I get employment again. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I LOVE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. I've also been creating a Snow Bunny Nidalee sculpture... http://i.imgur.com/PrfCb.jpg :X Quote:
October 13th, 2012:: I met one of the summoners who offered to trade their Snow Bunny Nidalee! In the group image, he is the one to the further right! The finals were amazing! I'm so happy Ottawa had a bar host the stream, met a lot of amazing summoners, and I was the only one in cosplay while representing Snow Bunny Nidalee! You know this skin is underrated when you hear "you look EXACTLY like Nidalee, but pink" followed with a confused face. In regards towards the amount of "Skin for 2k upvotes pls" threads. I believe we all have that "I regret not buying that skin" moment. Or we're disappointed we couldn't obtain a skin when it was available. We are all here for the same reason, we love League Of Legends. Skins are "trophies" to some, but to most of us, we just want to enjoy our favorite champions dressed up as pumpkins, kitties, presents etc. If you're going to participate in something like the 2k upvotes, show good sportsmanship! Don't bring someone down because they want the same skin as you. Their is enough hate on these forums, we don't need to increase it by starting drama over someone's desires to have the same pixels as you. Dear community; I honestly can not think of a way to thank everyone enough for the support I've been receiving throughout this thread. I have dedicated a lot of my life towards this cause, and the feedback I've gotten has made everything worth it! I have decided that if I do in fact get Snow Bunny Nidalee, I'd like to pay the community back for how great everyone has been! On my facebook cosplay page, I will be giving out 5 PAX Sona/Graves skins. I will give a lot of notice in advance, so don't worry about missing out on anything! You can find my cosplay page here; http://www.facebook.com/EcliptikaCosplay. Once again, thank you summoners! - Ecliptika! |
I think you deserve the skin. Your cosplay is very impressive, by the way. :)
I hope you get it.

bump for epic justice |
Thank you so very much! <3 You guys are great! :] |
Riot pls

I'm new to Droid and just got a Droid3 in July. Not too long after I got it, it started turning itself on - sometimes right after I turn it off, sometimes a couple minutes later, sometimes during the night at some point. I took it to tech support at the local store and they reloaded it, and for a week it was fine while I was traveling. Once I got back home, however, it started it again. I thought it might have been hardware and heat-related, but it was cool last night and it did it again, 10 minutes after I'd turned it off. The last app I loaded before this started was Vz Navigator (which I have since uninstalled and the reload was done after that). Anybody got any ideas as to what's going on?
Was it plugged in when it reboots? that's really the only thing I can think of. Maybe it just grant like to be off and charging. The only other thing I could suggest are battery pulls!
Power the phone off ( long press of the power button and select power off) and pull the battery. Leave it out for a minute. If it reoccurs, follow the hard reset directions in the FAQ section of the forum. Do not sync any apps. Be sure you remember your Google password before you do. Run it bone stock for a while and see if the problem reoccurs. If so, take it back and demand a replacement phone. If you get no occurances, add your apps back slowly, one at a time. Give the problem a chance to occur before moving to the next application. If it does reoccur again, remove the last app and wait for awhile before moving to the others. If it keeps reoccurring anyway, keep removing the last app and waiting. If you get back to bone stock then suspect the first app and skip over it, reinstalling the second. Rinse & repeat. If you still are seeing the problem then you didn't give it long enough to reoccur at some point. Force closes can happen and it is difficult to know what to blame. If you've only had one, I'd ignore it and pay attention to the automatic turn-on issue. They could be related, but with only one to judge from....
Thanks! I'm running pretty close to bone stock now, but I'll try the hard reset and keep an eye out after that. Not ever having had a smartphone before, I'm not addicted to the apps (yet)!
My wife and I both have Droid 3's and both have the power up problem. I tried doing a hard reset on my phone that wiped the phone and put it back to factory settings (note: did this after the recent OS update). After it powered up, the only thing I did was log into my Google account and setup my Gmail. Ran like this for a few days then configured a couple more email accounts. I would wait three days and if the phone stayed off each time I turned it off, I'd install applications. I first added/configured preloaded applications, one at a time, waiting three days before adding the next application. Took me a couple of weeks of doing it this way before I had all of the applications I wanted installed and working. Went a whole week without my phone powering on by its self. Assumed (you what they say about assume) that the hard reset fixed the problem so I hard reset my wife's phone and reinstalled everything she had installed (which isn't much). Three days went by without the phones powering themselves up, than bang, both phones started to turn themselves back one. Sometimes they'll turn back on seconds after being turned off while other times it may be minutes (once almost 15 minutes later). The hard reset (Settings ==> Privacy ==> Factory data reset ==> selected both internal and SD storage erase) doesn't help so don't get suckered into wasting your time.
Curious that both phones did this at the same time. I wouldn't call it being suckered, you took the most involved approach to a solution you could and it didn't work. Without knowing what is causing it or why, we cannot say that others wouldn't solve their problems this way. It certainly doesn't look promising though. Is your wife using any app that you are also using? Personally, I think you should get in touch with Moto or Verizon and see what they can do.
This is a bug in most of the D3's and Bionics. Well documented on Moto support board. Just have to deal with it until the next update comes out. Mine doesn't restart if I put in in airplane mode and clear all pending notifications prior to shutdown.
Hey Fr33dom, you'll be happy to know that I've contact both Motorola and Verizon about this problem and both said that this is only happening to a few customers (guess they don't search their own forums). I documented the reset process with someone at Motorola and he said they can't figure out what is causing the problem. As for the applications both my wife and I have on are Droid 3's, that would be, Gmail, email, Maps, Facebook, Twitter, Google Talk, G+, and Skype.
Let me see, Halloween is in just a few days. Ghouls and ghosts abound this time of year! But in a word, I am sorry to say, 'No'.
Thanks! Glad to hear that someone has reported the problem. I ended up getting a new phone, and the same thing happened. So I'm just living with it. Interestingly, the problem with both phones seems to have started once I loaded VzNavigator. I also have gmail, email, and maps loaded. My first phone had facebook and skype as well. I'll try the airplane mode thing, but my phone got stuck in it once (the first one) so I've avoided using it.
I experienced this too, seems to happen the most when I forget to take it off of "Silent mode" after leaving a meeeting etc. Not sure if sound settings contributes to the problem.
Mine 't know. was doing the same thing the OP said but has stopped now, on it's won so maybe a OS update fixed it, I don

Homosexuality – "We have to protect the gay community from sharia law."
Asked about the Republican Party's relationship to gay marriage, Friess cited his love for his gay brother-in-law and the man's partner, saying discriminating against them would be tantamount to limiting his own rights because "I happen to be 30 pounds overweight.
But his No. 1 fear for the gay community? That Islamic law would become an institution in the United States, a bugaboo of cultural conservatives that has shown little evidence of making inroads at the state or federal level.
Friess said the GOP should be more open to people with differing views on homosexuality. "I believe the Republican Party should allow each candidate to say what he wants to say.... But what is somewhat distressing, we are moving our country toward a state religion which says anybody who says homosexuality is biblically untrue is some kind of pariah and a fallback to the Neanderthal days.
The 1 percent – "If you tax me 10 percent more, am I going to sell my jet plane? No."
Friess gave an impassioned defense of wealth in America, arguing that great wealth, paired with opportunities for social mobility, helped generate social good.
"If you tax me 10 percent more, am I going to sell my jet plane? No. Am I going to sell any of my beach houses? No. Am I going to change my lifestyle? No. What does it do to me? It's just money that I can no longer give to these various causes I've been giving to," Friess said.
"I'm not that generous that I'm going to give up my lifestyle if I don't have to," he continued, "but what I will give up is the ability to give to these other causes that are dear to my heart."

Episode Features
Kaya | Ep. 6 | Every Breath You Take | A Sex Tape of Kaya Surfaces
Photos | Kaya | Episode Flipbook (Ep. 6) | Every Breath You Take Posted 12/03/2007 10 photos
Full Summary
After moving out of the band's house, Kaya scores a new posh pad. Kaya can't believe she can afford such a rockin' place. All this time she thought her finances were in ruins, but it turns out that her father, Don, was lying to protect her.
Now that Don is no longer their manager, Crossing Coldwater must look for a replacement. But as each potential hopeful feeds them the same lines, Kaya becomes frustrated. When the final manager sits down, Kaya demands to know why he's different from the rest. He tells them he manages four high-profile bands and there's no limit to how far Crossing Coldwater can go. They're sold.
Back at Kaya's new house, Natalee is sorting through fan mail when she opens a letter that freaks her out. It contains a supposed sex tape featuring Kaya and a note demanding 500,000 dollars. Kaya assumes it's a joke, but then she has a flashback to her and Natalee waiting in line at a concert. After using a fake ID to get into the show, Kaya catches the eye of the lead singer of the band. That night, even though she's dating Gunnar, Kaya and the singer get down and dirty at his apartment.
After watching the sex tape, Kaya stumbles around her pool with a drink in hand. It's obvious she's stressed out, especially when she starts carrying on a conversation with her dead sister, who asks her if the price of fame is worth it.
The next day Kaya shows the tape to her father and asks for his help. He's visibly upset but suggests that her new manager, Tripp, should handle the problem. When they meet with Tripp, he says they probably won't be able to stop the tape from being released and suggests that they capitalize on the tape, after all "sex sells." Kaya and her father disagree, and Don presents a new idea. He says he knows someone named "Mr. Smith" that can make the tape go away for a price.
Later, Gunnar, Taylor and Manny sit down with Tripp to go over their Metro Sound contracts. To their disappointment, they discover that Kaya earns more than double what they do. Tripp tells them he isn't surprised since their ex-manager is Kaya's dad.
Gunnar, Taylor and Manny confront Kaya, saying they want to renegotiate their contracts. When Manny accuses her father of playing them, Kaya starts crying. Her emotional breakdown causes her bandmates to put their financial problems on hold and ask her what the problem is. As Kaya tells them about the sex tape, Gunnar hangs his head in disbelief.
That night, Kaya and her father meet Mr. Smith in a discreet location. When they hand over the check, Mr. Smith claims the sex tape will disappear, but says they won't want to know how.
At the studio the next day, Taylor announces that Tripp has sent over the management contract, which they must all sign to make him their permanent manager. Kaya says she isn't signing it because she's mad that he suggested they make money off of her sex tape. Just then, Mr. Smith enters the studio, claiming that the sex tape is taken care of. Before leaving, he hands Don an envelope, saying he hopes it will help him out.
While boarding a boat with his family, Rossi is confronted by Don, who is holding the envelope. Rossi opens the envelope, which contains pictures of a bruised woman that Rossi once abused. When Rossi asks Don what he wants, Don demands to be Crossing Coldwater's manager again and that the band gets to renegotiate their contracts.
While partying at Kaya's new place, Gunnar approaches Kaya and asks if the lead singer she had sex with was the reason she broke up with him. She claims she was 18 and drunk and it didn't mean anything. He points out that that's what she said about sleeping with Taylor and storms off, saying he doesn't want anything to do with her anymore. As Gunnar steps out, Taylor steps in and kisses Kaya on the cheek, telling her that he'll take her, warts and all.

Why go to Mdina?
Get to the heart of Malta
Mdina sits on a high rocky outcrop at the centre of Malta. This was the island's capital for 1700 years from the time of the Romans (who called it Melite), through the Arabs (for whom it was Medina), until the arrival of the Knights of St John in 1530. These seafarers moved the capital to the coast but the Maltese aristocracy stayed in Mdina and it is still a place of tiny medieval alleyways and noble limestone palazzos - something of a living museum.
To wander back in time
Mdina is a magical place to wander around. Its maze-like streets, blessedly too narrow for any real traffic, are full of little surprises - like the chapel of St Agnes, patron saint of Mdina, and the 'hole-in–the-wall' makeshift gate through the fortifications, allowing the tiny city's residents to get quickly to the railway that briefly ran nearby in the 18th century.

Chris Kaag owns a 2005 Subaru Outback.
U.S. Marines pride themselves on their ability to improvise, adapt, and overcome challenges. Chris Kaag is no exception. Diagnosed with a degenerative nerve condition while on active duty, Kaag's military career was cut short two weeks after his 21st birthday.
However, nothing stops a determined Marine. Kaag shifted his focus and earned a business degree from Penn State University. In 2004, he started Corps Fitness, a military-style gym and team-building facility in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. As a personal trainer, Kaag pushes his clients to raise their fitness levels and their confidence to participate in triathlons and marathons.
Life Changing
"Corps Fitness is based on my Marine Corps experience, how it changed my life, and my will to inspire others to redefine what they are able to do," Kaag said. "I go to work every day around motivating, encouraging, and good-hearted people."
Kaag also started the nonprofit IM ABLE Foundation to show other disabled people that they can enjoy active lifestyles.
"IM ABLE empowers people with disabilities to be more active with adaptive equipment and to participate in adaptive fitness programs and events. Seeing someone who thought they couldn't get out and do something realize they can is a rewarding experience," he said.
Active Lifestyle
Kaag enjoys kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking using his handcycle, and road riding along with his wife, Gretchen.
"I am more active now than I was before my disability," he added, "and hopefully that will inspire others to realize they can do more and appreciate the abilities they still do have."
Kaag's 2005 Outback fits their lifestyle. "We're not shiny car people," he said, "so being able to throw our bikes on top, our gear in the back, and still be functional is awesome."

A method of determining characteristic marine atmospheres was developed based on analysis of air mass types and occurrences. A 10-year set of radiosonde and surface observations collected over the North Atlantic Ocean from a combination of land-based stations, oceanographic buoys, and weather ships, was obtained from the archives of meteorological agencies from 6 different countries. Through a mixture of man-machine objective analysis of upper air measurements of air temperature at the 85, 70, and 50 kPa levels, a total of 16 typical air mass categories could be identified. They are cA, cA/cmA, cA/cmA/mA, cA:cmA, cmA, cmA/mA, cmA/mA/mP, cmA:mA, mA, mA/mP, mA/mP/mT, mP, mP/mT, mT(f), mT, and mT(d). Analysis of the data showed that regions of near air mass homogeneity can be identified. The frequency of occurrence of single air mass categories coincided with their source regions, and the categories with combinations of air masses coincided with well known storm tracks. Vertical profiles of characteristic categories were then developed and applied to the modelling of evaporative duct heights and calculations of precipitable water. These test results showed strong dependence of derived parameters on the defining air mass category and compared well with data from other independent studies. The value of this type of analysis has been demonstrated and results have been produced which can be used in downscaling studies whereby changes in the occurrence of regional weather elements may be found that are associated with variations in large-scale air mass features.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I read that wild blueberries were proven by clinical trials to help Alzheimer's. I don't know if this is the wild berries or not but as soon as I started my husband, who has this disease on them, he showed a lot of improvement the very next day. They are working for him. He's not cured by any means but he is able to communicate much better now. Thanks, Shirl
I feel healthier taking this product. Helps normalize blood sugar with two softgels.

Oh noe.. Planetarian is taking over REAL LIFE
If no one knows what I'm talking about, here's the backstory.
Planetarian: The Reverie (Dream) of a Little Planet is a Japanese post-apocalyptic visual novel centering around a middle-aged man who comes across a malfunctioning robot in a dead city (WIKI). One of the main characters is Yumemi Hoshino, a talkative robot designed to look like a human. She is the attendant of a planetarium, greeting and helping customers. She is very cheerful and optimistic. Now, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbFFs4DHWys Frankly, I'm slightly afraid. Spoiler for Planetarian novel:

Oh yes, Chobits is similar as well. However, the robot in the YouTube video and in Planetarian are both greeting customers. Yeah.
What I find amazing is how rapid robotics technology has advanced... it's becoming more mainstream now. What used to be recognized with NASA is now coming to our homes...? |

I've seen that "android" before. Seems programmed, not really sentient. I don't think we have anything to worry about until/unless they become self-aware.
Though it seemed pretty realistic, I see some serious flaws. It was moving way more than normal people do, and it's eyes didn't focus on anything. Kind of disconcerting. However, I think real AI (as most people think of it... such as a truly intelligent being like Cortana from Halo or the robots/androids from the movies I, Robot and A.I.) is quite a long way away. Japan is definitely making progress, though.

This android looks only somewhat better than an expensive anime doll. Up close in particular, it looks quite unrealistic, and its movements are very stiff.
The space elevator they're working on is a better investment idea (seriously, they're putting only 5billion into it). |

yeah, I have to say Chobits or perhaps "Eve no Jikan" before I'd think Planetes.... but meh, its always good to see the latest in robotics profiled.

I feel sad looking through the youtube comments. It seems like people can only see this robot being used for sex >.>.
In terms of stories become true, "eve no jikan" probably is the most likely to come true, or at least that is what seems more likely than any of the others. To me at least. Its great to see what advances japan has made to robotics, i have seen this "android" before though. |

We're more likely to see cyborgs than self-aware AI. I find it very difficult to see how we could possibly create an AI with human-level intelligence when we don't yet even understand what it means to be "intelligent". If sheer computational power were all it takes to be sentient, Deep Blue would already qualify as "human".
And AI researchers have already cottoned-on to the futility of trying to create artificial "human" intelligence. Many of them have long since branched off into the more fruitful field of intelligent agents, ie, a modern, evolutionary bottom-up approach rather than the classical top-down approach. Robots with insect-level intelligence are already a reality, and far more importantly, they can be put to practical use unlike the stiffly unhuman android seen in the YouTube video above. |

It's true to a certain point; now investment in one field often end with advance for many others field ( example computers, new metals etc...) it's particulary true with military and space reserch.

I think it's that the only named character in Planetarian was a "broken" robot who functioned as a guide at a planetarium. Of course if I remember correctly, the war in Planetarian had nothing to do with AIs, but was the result of a sneak attack on a lunar colony. That's the thing that really gets me about planetarian, humanity was on the verge of securing a destiny among the stars, yet in the end we threw it all away. It wasn't aliens, malevolent AIs, demons, or even a natural disaster. Everything that happened in it, we did to ourselves.

However, it is very interesting to see how far this technology will advance within our lifetime... How much do you guys think this costs/will cost? Can you imagine yourself buying one? In fact, what would you guys use them for? I personally wouldn't find any use for them, unless they can accompany me on an instrument. That would be pretty cool. |
