Lucius Fox

It would appear that there is a need for dinosaurs like us.

Still a need, Alfred. The world hasn’t passed us by. We’ve only taken a breather from it.

I understand. While there are things I can't do, there are things you can. I'm not sure how we can dance around things this time, Lucius, but you're the only one who can help me get started.

I was never one for dancing, Mr. Wayne, and I am too old to learn new moves.

If nothing else, we should at least meet in person to discuss what it is you have in mind. In the meantime, to whom else have you made your existence known to?

Remember the first time I came to you? Well, this time we're going to do things right. The way my father would have done it.

You do realize that we’re still attempting to recover the funds that Daggett and Ms. Kyle relieved my Mr. Wayne of? Further to that, while you are Bruce Wayne, this isn’t your company or your inheritance?

If you know a version of me as well as I know my version of you, you know that I am not saying these things to be cruel. These are the facts of the situation we find ourselves in.

I've come to say I'm sorry, I know I'm not...I'm not replacing anyone. This is a weird situation that Quinzel informed me of but, you're the only person who could help me.

Mon, 06 May 2013 13:43:00 -0400

Ordinarily I would have a joke on hand to make in a situation like this. I fear my humor has left me. It’s been gone for some time, you see, even after discovering the software patch that bears my Bruce Wayne’s identification.

How is it I might be able to help you, Mr. Wayne?

I hope you're not extremely busy. Tried reaching you on the phone before, may have shown up as an unregistered number.

Is this is who I think it is, you and I are overdue for a talk, young man.

This Scientist Wants Tomorrow's Troops to Be Mutant-Powered | Danger Room | Wired.com:

wildcat2030:

Greater strength and endurance. Enhanced thinking. Better teamwork. New classes of genetic weaponry, able to subvert DNA. Not long from now, the technology could exist to routinely enhance — and undermine — people’s minds and bodies using a wide range of chemical, neurological, genetic and behavioral techniques. It’s warfare waged at the evolutionary level. And it’s coming sooner than many people think. According to the futurists at the U.S. National Intelligence Council, by 2030, “neuro-enhancements could provide superior memory recall or speed of thought. Brain-machine interfaces could provide ‘superhuman‘ abilities, enhancing strength and speed, as well as providing functions not previously available.” Qualities that today must be honed by years of training and education could be installed in a relative instant by, say, an injection or a targeted burst of electricity to the brain. Rapid advancements in neurology, pharmacology and genetics could soon make such installations fairly easy. These modifications could give rise to new breeds of biologically enhanced troops possessing what one expert in the field calls “mutant powers.” But those troops may not American. So far, the U.S. military has been extremely reluctant to embrace human biological modification, or “biomods.” And that could result in a veritable mutant gap. In this new form of biological warfare, the U.S. could find itself outgunned. But not if Andrew Herr can help it. A 29-year-old Georgetown-trained researcher with degrees in microbiology, health physics and national security, Herr is one a handful of specialists in the defense community preaching greater U.S. investment in biomods. First as a consultant with the Scitor Corporation, a Virginia-based firm whose clients include top military and intelligence agencies, and later as the head of his own research organization, Herr’s job has been to think about biological modifications whose effects he says are “more than evolutionary.” Another word for that: revolutionary. Whether positive or negative, the impact of routine biomods could be huge. “The best-case scenario is extraordinary increases in quality of life in the First World and beyond,” Herr says. The worst-case scenario, he adds, is people being biologically modified “without them knowing it.” That is, an evolutionary sneak attack. But it’s not clear how closely the government is listening.

“The survey found that more than one-third of American homes (35.8 percent) had only wireless telephones during the first half of 2012 while 15.9 percent of all households had both landline and wireless telephones but received all or almost all calls on the wireless phones. This means 51.7 percent of U.S. homes don’t have or didn’t use their landlines in the first half of 2012. That’s a 1.8 percent increase from the same period a year ago.”

Rwanda: A Country Of Interest | Leadership Newspapers:

prepaidafrica:

Rwanda today has been dubbed Africa’s biggest success story. The first person to draw my attention to the country and its president Paul Kagame was Dr. Lillian Wong. That was about six years ago. Dr. Wong had served as the British high commissioner to Rwanda in the post-genocide era, and it was during that period that she came to know and admire President Kagame. Kagame was the commander of Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), which was formed principally to unite the whole of Rwanda. His army defeated the regime that encouraged the famous Rwandan genocide that shook the world in 1994. To appreciate why Rwanda is today such an outstanding story, it will be important to go back a little into the country’s recent history.

Death By Black Hole Firewall Incineration It Shall Be: “Oh, and if, say, an astronaut happened to accidentally cross the event horizon, he or she would technically be in freefall and thus wouldn’t notice anything particularly unusual — not at first. It’s only as said astronaut approached the singularity that gravity would become so extreme, s/he would be “spaghettified.” Except now that might not be the case. There’s a hypothesis currently being bandied about by theoretical physicists that, instead, the unfortunate astronaut would encounter a massive wall of fire as s/he tried to cross the event horizon and burn up before s/he got anywhere near the singularity. Call it the ‘Paradox of the Firewall.’”
