If I had a Holodeck

[adnault]

My drive to work every morning is about 15 minutes of EXTREME boring. So I usually let my mind wander, as it is wont to do, to all sorts of off-the-wall retarded subjects

hahahah.... well when it was cancelled I was in Middle School and do you know what that did to my after school programming? I HAD NOTHING TO WATCH!!! And the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers wasn't my bag.... too unrealistic... but TNG was TOTALLY believable.

You should build some prototypes.

I might have to take over our sewing/dining room

Am I a big fat dork for thinking that with the holodeck we could make holograms of ourselves so we can lay and fit fabric and patterns? Who needs a dress form with that.

[adnault]

You totally took that to the next level!
That's why I love you.

There are those who say that starships carry large matter tanks for replicator usage like in Archer & Kirk's days, where thing were actually broken down, resequenced, & sent back up as my chicken sandwich & coffee (tribble not included). These people fail to grasp 2 things: 1) the replicator is a transporter-based technology, & 2) E=mc2. That means that the energy pumped into the replicator is turned into the matter of the object. It's created by reading the transporter pattern of the original object & then beaming the energy into that shape & property. This is why you can add things to it. However, replicators form at the molecular level, not the quantum resolution of transporters, which is why you can't replicate new body parts or why some people say that foods made from living things taste a bit off. It's also why some objects (like latinum) are inherently non-replicatable.

You, sir, know your Star Trek! I just always wonder about the actualy nutritutional value. Unless of course through the programmed replication process you can actually healthen up your food.

GARCON! I would like a bit more B12 with my filet s'il vous plaite! (awful French spelling)

You have no idea. And yes, you can program in recipes & the like.

What if they got it wrong and your chicken soup tastes like tacos?

That was brought up in The Matrix too. "What if they got it wrong and what *I* think Tasty Wheat tastes like is totally different?"

Something like that anyway but yah...good question.

[adnault]

hahahah but the nice part about the Matrix is that you would never know the difference where as with a wacked out replicator I would KNOW my soup was messed up..

Though Taco soup doesn't sound half bad.
