with 4 runways of 4000 meter length and 6 big Terminals
like Terimal One, but with 6 floor multi-storey car park for 4000...

Good sf doesn't just introduce new concepts, it explores the ramifications of those concepts. As HG Wells introduced tanks, DEWs, nukes, transnational organisations, and air power, he also explored what they would mean. Now, I really can't recommend : Lem enough. Under this topic, his 1964...

If you think you're spending too much time online, Facebook et al is about to offer (maybe) compelling reasons to spend more. Fortunately, there are still 24 hours in a day, people still need to eat and sleep, and Mr. Zuckerberg and company won't be able to squeeze another dollar out of anyone...
I'm pretty sure we had a topic on this already, but it has gone MIA.

Game removed from store. Also full refunds being offered to consumers. Fairly unprecedented for a triple A title but I am not surprised to be honest. Been looking at some of the numerous bug videos online and it’s clear it was a broken mess when launched. As an owner of an original PS4 glad I...

This is an idea that seems to be coming back into fashion. I have a bit of a suspicion that with the concept below, someone may have looked up the old hard engineering data from the production of Waterworld as part of their background research...
Given the distinct trend that real world events have taken lately, I thought it was long since time for a dedicated cyberpunk thread. For both real world examples as well as the fictional (e.g. universes such as The Sprawl [Neuromancer], Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2020, etc.). I'll start off things...
