[QUOTE=CoolCorky;39216599]There's a theory that the first people that will live to 500 years old have already been born (as such life-extending technology may be developed in their natural lifetimes), so there may be so much more we'll be able to see.[/QUOTE]
Sounds sweet.
Even if we lived to like 1000 years old [asari style from Mass Effect] I would be happy.
Do you think we will see a more natural disasters or even something big, affecting say a certain part of the world?

A man walking on mars. A permanent base on the Moon.
I think the actor thing is the worst for me, I'm a big fan of like stallone, arnie, jean claude, seagal, even though the last 2 just do straight to dvd stuff now mostly

The inevitable legal disputes that arise from widespread 3d printing.

I sincerely hope I get to see a free North Korea.
I would like to see a free China too.
I'd like to see a free willy.
But on a serious note a free Burma would be great.

I didn't know anything about that. Is there a chance we can get around that problem? Or should we hope that immortality becomes affordable when it's ready?

One way is to avoid taking antibiotics at all costs, they should only be used in the most serious cases. Infections become resistant to antibiotics after they are exposed to them, which is why some antibiotics will not work for certain problems.

I [I]think[/I] its a long slow process that happens over time, it has to mutate and spread and mutate to become resistant. Its why superbugs are such a risk, they are just bugs that have been exposed to so many antibiotics they have evolved to be resistant to the lot.
[QUOTE=usaokay;39226314][img]HL:3 comic[/img] well fuck[/QUOTE] That just made me choke up a little. Seen it before, but with all this mention of the inevitability of Gabens death, just made it more emotional.

Well here's hoping that either we get around that.

Pretty much this.
They are trying to find a way not to use anti-biotics and they have ways just it needs to be tested.
The documentary was pretty interesting, they had something in petri dishes at different stages of mutation, the first one had little infection with 1 tablet inside going all the way up to superbug which had a full pack of tablets in and the infection hadn't even moved back, it just consumed the entire dish.
I hate it when you see programs on TV about STI and people who get chlamydia and are like 'you just pop a few pills and its gone'.. Yea nice thinking mate only every time people do that its just building up a resistance
