As viceroy I declare this clip to be the official movie of the RIA
It has in no particular order
people fighting, someone saving a flag, a volcano, a flaming tiger archer, possibly Teddy Roosevelt, and lightning punches.
Watch and be amazed

Ayn Rand
Robert Heinlein
Card and Heinlein are both favorites of mine too despite being deranged in some way
Rand's stuff I haven't read.
Not to offend Slug's taste in books, but a lot of Rand's stuff comes down to "Be Independent, Do your own thing, and then be a jerk to everyone else."

it seems my 50/50 chance failed me
If you liked 2001, there's also 2010. 2061, and 3001. 2010 was pretty good, the others didn't do as well.
Going by where he won his awards, you should also look at "Fountains of Paradise", but that doesn't really seem to fit your tastes. (It's not as philosophical, basically being a very well done story about a giant engineering project.)
Nemesis is a standalone book, unlike a lot of his that are connected to the Robots-Empire-Foundation Universe, so that may help.

« on: May 16, 2013, 04:28:50 am »What else would you put on the same level? I am always hunting for my next book, like Leo hunts for a girl to turn him down.
I put Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein as the 3 best sci-fi writers (in volume if nothing else), since you have a Heinlein, I'll offer a suggestion from each of the other two
For Clarke I'd suggest "The City and the Stars". There's another book "Against the Fall of Night" that's basically the same (City was a rewrite of Against, I think City is the better of the two.)
There's a sequel to the above, Beyond the fall of Night, it was written by another author, and is crap, avoid it.
For Asimov, Nemesis

Card said Speaker of the Dead was unfilmable, so I don't think Ender's Game will get a sequel, to your challenge
1) Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card - wrote speaker and bunch of other stuff
2) The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand - wrote Atlas Shrugged
3) Armor - John Steakly
4) Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein - wrote lots of things
5) A Confederacy of Dunces - John Kennedy Toole
6) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams - was part of a trilogy
so that leaves #3 and #5. Since I have a 50/50 chance (and am not going to cheat with Google), I'm going to guess

Random lnsanity / Re: Time to bomb North Korea
« on: April 19, 2013, 01:32:52 pm »Lol, only 5k? Please. Try 17k.
http://ploughshares.org/world-nuclear-stockpile-report
17K if you count those that need to be taken out of storage, armed, and deployed first (a 2-3 month process). 5K could be fired today by all sides.
This is 2008-2009 data:
http://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/Nuclearweaponswhohaswhatthe fuck?! pakistan have more nukes than israel? they also have one of the best intel agencies in the world.
Assuming Israel isn't bluffing ala Saddam... If they have anything it is probably only deliverable by aircraft, and therefore far from certain to hit...
Spoilers: We gave Israel MIRV technology. They can pretty much hit almost anywhere we can. I'd be surprised if (when it comes to light) it wasn't us who gave them nuke technology in the first place.
More likely a combo of France and South Africa. France will sell reactors to anyone.
Also, what GS said about MIRVs, that said, Jericho III is a very sizable candle.

most likely they don't have 150 weapons sitting around, the estimates are if they run their reactor at top efficiency, they could have enough material for that many weapons. I agree they probably only have a few weapons, and 'parts' for many more.
Uranium ore is rather common, so finding it isn't too difficult (it's the enrichment that's hard, unless you're Canadian, they don't bother). Many people think they did a trade with South Africa when that country was running it's bomb program.
You're right that testing is the sticking point. However we didn't test the 'little boy' design before use (Trinity was a 'fat man' type) and South Africa had 6 nukes and never tested any.

It is to prevent an arms race, as many other regional powers have stated they'd pull out of the NPT if there were a public acknowledgement of nuclear arms in Israel. The existence of their Dimona reactor is enough to deter attack since it shows they could be nuclear capable in short order, without causing the international fallout a public declaration would have.
But don't take my word for it, listen to this peanut farmer interviewed by the BBC
