I changed that to the more proper term 'saved'. But when something is digital it is just as real as the original, but when it's artificial it isn't real because then it is no longer capable of irrationality and it is based on rand() functions as opposed to creativity.

Archi, a book is indeed organic, but a scanned book is digital and a holographic book would be artificial. Organic = Real, original. Digital = Untangible, saved. Artificial = Fake, replica. So, a correct term would be DI, Digital Intelligence.

Wellm crude oil needs many chemicals to become plastic, and I dubt they gave Jeremiah more brains.

Evenn if modified it is still not artificial, for it to be artificial it must be man-made, something it is not.

Jeremiah may not be biological, but his mind isn't artificial.

Looks like the lakelurks from New Vegas:

I got turned into a merman without the tail.

Ross, wait and see if we might get a lung transplant in order, if not then I'll just make a reversed diving aparatus feeding water into a collar. Why couldn't I have swam in a tank with crusteans, at least they can breathe both air and water.

Awesome.

Ew? You find correcting things disgousting?

Why did my random event give advantage in a situation that will likely never happen? Lee, I think you should prepare for a lung transplant.

I have developed a possible primary weapon for the stronger warships, the Rad Rifle. Using two lead mirrors it focuses a beam of gamma-radiation at the target with presumed high accuracy, at a strenght of 90 Gray it can take out a person near instantly. When fired at a vehicle or building it takes out all occupants in one shot. It has two disadvantages, it is very weak against shields, even weaker than meson weaponry and if the target is wearing a hazmat suit then it will only suffer from major radiation sickness. To avoid any radiation leaking from the weapon itself it is enchanced with a small shield. It is fully capable of taking out the crew of a standard Russian ship in a shot without considerable duration. It leaves fallout for longer than one hour when taking out a Russian ship.

I don't have massive muscles, I have visibly trained muscles, I look like a martial artist, not a bodybuilder.

I would not expect them to get more than maybe halfway through the skull in 5 seconds, and it can't exactly be called surgery when the pathway I was talking about was the brain stem. And 61 gram nanite slugs would be if the nanites were made from gold, which is most likely considerably heavier than what they usually are made from. Anyways I rather liked what the railgun carbine ended up with as stats, not bad for something theoretically capable of firing at 60 shots per minute.

I love you guys for making me feel less of a geek.

Ok, a 20cm long railgun with rails with a 5cm radius would at 1kA be able to fire a 61gram slug at 175,000km/s, equaling 480kg of force.

Earth, all normal actions would be done without aid, but upon injury the nanites would begin repairing you and you can fire nanites out of your hand. As well as that you can still use whatever else you want, though I won't sugguest firing while holding something. Also you dismiss my idea of using nanites as a personal aid, yet you suspect to fit a flexible powersource inside a longbow? I'm sugguesting something slightly futuristic, you're sugguesting midieval mixed with "in a million years". Archi, the nanites would only mend damaged areas and attack DNA forreign to the subject, his allies and any donors, DNA records being stored in a network point. Nanites are supposedly able to eat entire people, why shouldn't a few be able to sever one important pathway? Also after seeing the numbers I got I'm actually really tempted to make a railgun, I imagine using a supercapacitor I should be able to get up to at least a kA through some proper silver wires and by using larger rails... Hang on, I'ma change a calculation.

Firstly I know that it would be a good idea to wear a backpack containing a supercapacitor and a fuel cell to power the nanites. Secondly the endo- nanites would of course be programmed with medical software and as well be connected to a biomonitor preferably situated near the hyppotalamus. Thirdly nanites can be constructed from a highly conductive material, preferably silver or gold in this case (due to being precious metals and thus not oxidating). Fourth the nanites fired only have to hit the enemy then dig dig into its brain on their own power. Now let me run that math, A PEMFC hydrogen cell works at 100W to 500kW, since I've given it some levels of research I believe it is fair to say it has at least stabilized with an avarage output of 300kW, that's 300kJ/s, that's enough to launch a 10gram slug off a 8cm (finger lenght) rail at 1029m/s, effective weight of 10kg. But using the correct formulas for railguns that power could fire a 11gram projectile at 60km/s equivaling 660kg force each second. Asuming the flow of electricity is at 100 ampere. I used these formulas: And these values: u0 = 1,256 I = 100A r = 1mm d = 5mm Phi = 1,618 s = 0,1mm Mass density of projectile = 19,41176471g/mm3 (gold) Volume of projectile = 0,58875mm³ However note that 100A was arbitrary and that if you can calculate the actual flow (which I suspect would be higher) then please tell me, redoing the thing is just changing one value then excel does the rest.

I'm using my school computer, yet Fallout: New Vegas seems stable on "low detail". And if you spam the V.A.T.S. enough it becomes practically turn based, though it is a FPS/TPS.

For some reason I do not you play all those games actively.

I just got an idea, an endosuit; Maybe about a desiliter or two of nanites programmed to attack any foreign body not accepted by imune system and cure injuries. They could also be set to modify bodily functions (to a minute degree) as to allow more nanites to be introduced. There could also be a second cathegory of nanites, the exoimune system, make to combat external threats as well as fullsized enemies, two possible attacks could be to work as a conduit between a powersource and an enemy, and to work as a railgun, creating two conduits out two fingers and a projectile in between and conduct power as to work as a railgun, the fired nanite projectile could then guide its flight by altering shape and attack the enemy from inside. Too high expectations or could this work, do you think?

I know, I hate pesentations. :thumbdown:

Meh, I like Excel, it lacks some functions but those you can easily make up for by making the formulas longer.

I plan to be unpredictable, violent and neutral... and scary.

The breakout was in the time period 25/08.2061 - 25/04.2061 Also, there are pods with people where we encountered Jen. At least one of them is infected but unaltered. <AI> Chi, activity drops from over 150 log entries per day to 2 or less per day after the 12th of April, 2060 <AI> Chi, activity returns to 130 entries per day for 3 months, on 19th May 2060 <AI> Chi, activity then began to steadily decline until it averaged at 6 for 2 months, then 5 for a week, 4 three weeks after that, decreasing to 1 five days later. It remained at 1 until the 28th of December 2061 <Chi> AI, were there any logs signed by Jen Sonla after the log frequency decreased? <AI> Chi, one per day Lol at the major inconcistency, but that's not the point. I'm guessing the point of increase of entries was 19th of may 2062. This implies that Jen was alone and awake between August and December, 5 months of isolation must have taken its toll. I sugguest we treat her nicely and at least give her a chance to mentally recover before the eventual case that we send her to Earth. <AI> Log(Day before End) The computer is bleeting on about the Life Support systems...The machine can support 10 people after 100 years of operation! The only reason to change the filter ever 4 months is to avoid malpractice claims...I am sure of it..."
