I seem to remember this being in the book "The Sphere", though I might be wrong. I actually always thought that it was something rarely-used-but-possible.
The overlap between close-to-current sci-fi and real life in my brain is occasionally saddening/shameful.
Although I am wearing a scifi hat, not reality, assuming they don't need to breathe in hibernation, the full fluid immersion is probably a good way to regulate internal body temperature.
This is why I posted the link. I never realized the liquid was real and that the scene was shot using it. After watching the scene I thought, did they drown that rat? Effects were good, but not that good!
This is what things like Mechanical Turk _can_ help with (https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome) point them to a few local restaurants and let the turker's vote on what they feel to be the best option. Human computing power is a thing.
Not quite. I was trying to show that even today we're not very enlightened by comparing blacks with pedophiles. These are both groups of people who have been seen as "inferior" and "acceptable to abuse" simply for existing, rather than for causing harm.
If we are talking nostalgia, I remember the first time I heard of google; it was around the first time I heard of napster. Fourteen years ago. How the landscapes have changed.
I don't know how often I have actually seen this, but it was interesting to note that the references to Newsweek were simply italics instead of hyperlinks. After recently studying pagerank I found that an interesting tactic, whether or now pure hyperlinks are stil used in the calculations vs some other metric.
