Dj Culture

Hey DJ Culture - it's kind of traditional when you are trying to accuse someone of being a moron on an internet forum, to actually do your homework before you hit the 'submit button ... and I have to tell you and Firestarter that you have lucked out big time. Partly for starting flame wars with nice TA's like Ur Dream Grl and ABTsportsline, and mostly for not knowing jack shit about what you are talking about.

With regard to these so called flying cars, lets set a few things straight for you cynics. Since the WTC attacks and the related loss of public confidence in the airlines, there has been a MASSIVE surge in interest in small, personalised aircraft that combine airliner speeds with car convenience. Just last week, Eclipse Aviation (www.eclipseaviation.com) took an order for 1,000 aircraft from an unnamed buyer that's planning to set up a USA-wide network of air charter aircraft not dissimilar to your local taxi service - you call, they collect and deliver you to your destination, apparently for the same price as an airline could do it. Richard Noble, the guy behind Thrust SSC - the first car to break the sound barrier - is behind a similar concept here in the UK (www.farnborough-aircraft.com) and there are some VERY big companies backing his plans.

The afore mentioned Moller Skycar is in the flight testing phase at the moment, we should be seeing them on the streets of the USA within 3 or 4 years.

None of these companies are small time dreamers - there is big money involved. The US government, a lot of European governments and some of the biggest companies in the world are backing these things to the hilt, mostly because they are the only truly effective way anyone's thought of to get rid of cars from city streets forever. And of course, terrorists can't take out skyscrapers with them. Yeah they're gonna be expensive at first and the initial demand will be driven by executives that used to travel business class, but not nearly as much as you think. The Eclipse jet is supposed to cost about $500,000. I've seen the cost analysis for the Skycar myself, and as I previously said it has the potential to be sold for around $40,000 to $50,000 if the numbers of buyers are there.

It's not even going to be a 10 year, let alone 20 year, time frame before these things are on the streets in large numbers.

I hate to be all techie and know-it-all, but this sort of thing happens to have been my line of work for most of the last 6 years, trust me on this one OK?

OK, PPL, let me enlighten you...
(not to be teken seriosly, just some stuff to think 'bout)
you are all living unawear of the real truth...
"the year now is not 2001 but mor like 2210, we dont know exactly.
we only gathered bits and pieces of information...", "...we dont know who started, but we do know that it is us that scorched the sky..."
for those of you who have seen the matrix, hey, it's posible...

and if we are not living right now inside of "a prison we can not taste or see or touch" it is somthing that can happen...
because AI already exists...
there is this AI'ed computer that actualy thinks like a human...
he is now at like a stage where he is about 10 (thinks like a 10 year old), and well thats my imagination for ya...

now my predictions:
-i'll be 37...
-i'll have a car (preferable a Hummer and somthing more "civilian like")
-the flying car is doubtfull, more likly cars that drive themselvs...
(wheres the fun in that?!?!?!)
-i'll still listen to trance(never stop!!!)
-there will be an educated israeli generation of clubbers that don't listen to most of the crap thats in partys today...
-oh and i'll have a "disco room" in my house, a sound isolated room where i'll have some bichen' equp. and i'll mix all day long...
(thats my retierment plan)

Hehe.. who'd a thunk it that a discussion over the future would turn into flames.. LOL.

My final prediction: Perot will take the polls in 2028..oh wait.. the world will end before that.. poor bastard'll never get into office.

hey, dj culture!
i'm going to buy you a pair 'a readin' spectacles so you can better see mah posts! Since you didn't read what i posted, and instead replied an insanely idiotic comment, let me recap:
I said that firestarter was an idiot, NOT for his mental capacity but for the fact he openly (and harshly) criticized someone's OPINION in a thread about the future... Then i made a joking statement about Dream Grl's predictions "always come true"....
Then, (*get this!*) i made a cute rebuttal that "you know what, i'm going to go buy my OWN flying car in 10 years! whaddaya think of THAT!???" Let me emphasize the sarcasm here.

ok, cultureman.... notice nowhere in my post did I predict anything...

...oh, and daft-boy..... i was not aware that the # of years away is 60 for the flying car? Did you go to the College of Flying Cars to learn that one? How about this: I call YOU an idiot for having THAT opinion? Seems stupid doesn't it? .......yep. Re-read this thread, check your last post, and re-think the situation. Mighty ballsy for a newbie to come on here criticizing others if you ask me...

-ABT-

*Turns cultureman off, via a giant switch*
SHUT DOWN!

since I'd be deaf by then.....I'd have just had a microscopic hearing aid installed..........to my new non-etarded brain........that was grown in a monkey's head........

no animals would be hurt during the development of these wonders.....for all you greenpeacers......okay maybe a couple.

once installation is complete......

I'll be activating some trance music.......set to maximum volume; by voice recognition or thought recognition for that matter.......

and I'll go deaf all over again. (with pleasure)

Did she predict dubstep? She was spot on

Who ARE all these people!!???

Also, cool to see COR flame wars were a thing even back in ye olde' days, when most were still PLURtastic.

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Oct-24-2015 18:21:

The quality of spelling and grammar on Internet forums will have quintupled.

I actually remember quite a few of them.

Except for YourDreamGirl, who left before I joined, but once I found out there was a regular poster from Brazil here in the COR, I remember someone managed to contact her so we could greet each other and that's it. She's awesome

Oh, they posted, they quoted, they were merry... And had no idea

Posted by Vivid Boy on Oct-25-2015 02:31:

I was there for all of this. During the Plur age. I'm the one who brought the dark ages lol

Posted by Sykonee on Oct-25-2015 03:56:

It's neat how one can separate TA into distinct ages.

2000-2002: PLUR Age
2002-2004: Second Wave Age
2004-2006: Genre Wars Age
2006-2010: Jaded Age
2010-Now: Zombie Age

Something like that.
