The Oracle bluntly stated twice in the chat log that my sig is taken from that... We have no One, we need no One, we shouldn't want another One. The rules are totally different now.

Persephone is an out of date emotion study program. She's was replaced, her replacement was replaced. Her replacement is in MxO, so this is fact. I assume the story goes the Machines needed to study us emotionally so they could work out ho...

“Goliath” (a 6-page color illustrated text story by Neil Gaiman with art by Bill Sienkiewicz and Gregory Ruth) is narrated by a large British man who was trained in accelerated versions of the Matrix, repeating parts of his life, in order...

The Machines are emotional creatures just like us. Use my sig as proof.

There is no need to download the "mind" into anything. The Matrix interface isn't nearly as complicated as a lot of people think it needs to be. It's simply nothing more than a direct brain to computer connection. Something that's almost r...

"trinity had already fallen in love..." Yes, that is partly true. Trinity didn't decide ahead of time to love Neo specifically, but she must have believed and trusted the Oracle enough to prepare herself emotionally for it to happen. "And,...

"...whether or not Neo would have still broken the vase..." That's impossible to answer. The answer any individual comes to will be based solely on personal perspective, belief, religious programming, whatever. Do you believe in choice? Do...

There is no explanation for why the Machines have not shielded themselves. It may be that they've done it intentionally to make the fight seem fair to us. A form of control. If they look weak maybe we'll focus on them instead of rebuilding...

Why would the Machines need to leave Earth if it were biologically dead, considering they aren't themselves biological entities? Tell me again what physical limits you think the Machines have that would require them to leave Earth even if...

I would love for that to be the "end game" for MxO. It would have to be the end because it would destroy so much in the process. Of course, there are a few problems. There were a lot of nukes used. The sun has been blocked out for, our bes...

That's sad, you don't know Nine Inch Nails? More importantly... What does this have to do with the Matrix universe?

Uh, I always assumed it was because Neo was a hacker and watched tv to learn, and it's pretty obvious the brothers meant for us to assume the Matrix is the same as our really real life world.. Plus, I bet you anything the brothers watched...

Morpheus Believed Neo was the One waaaaay before he knew who Neo was. I would suspect he looked at everyone at some point and thought, "You could be the One." He wasn't stupid, he must have had reasons to view a potential as such. He actua...

Smith could always clone himself, it's just that when he was an Agent he wasn't allowed to control more than one clone. Neo set him Free.

The Sleepers could easily be called Zombies. But I think we killed them all?

I have a few ideas, but I figure I'll ask everyone else first.. On what hardware was the Merovingian an operating system for?

I wonder how much $i it would take to get The Frenchman to tell us more about them..

"A red-pill doesn't have to have a satisfaction of these in a way that is not autonomous." I'm sorry?

" And according to the third definition, only a red-pill could be free[..]" A redpill jacked in, or jacked out? Either way, an aware bluepill would be more free than anyone. Free from necessity can only be applied to that case, becauses th...

Hrm. You could say, though, that no matter the situation the mind is always free. A redpill that's jacked in is capable of enjoying the most physical freedom, which also elevates their mental freedom. Redpills have Experienced both worlds,...

haha Aren't these supposed to be locked threads?

Mon May 01 20:07:50 2006 [Area] Oracle: There have been other Ones, you know--before him. Mon May 01 20:08:04 2006 [Area] Oracle: He was different, though. He changed the game. Mon May 01 20:08:28 2006 [Area] Vaico: But he was the true one...

Does this mean the URL will change? I hope not. :-/

The Oracle says Neo was the last [useful?] One. Mon May 01 20:07:50 2006 [Area] Oracle: There have been other Ones, you know--before him. Mon May 01 20:08:04 2006 [Area] Oracle: He was different, though. He changed the game. ... Mon May 01...

The real question is... If superman jacked in would he still have his super powers? Would the Matrix allow him to fly simply because he knows he should be able to? Would he still be nearly invulnerable? Would Wolverine still have claws? Wo...

I love the comic book idea so much, I bet the quality of the cinematics will go up now. Will Niobe look like Niobe again, or like the fake-Niobe she is now?

Mon May 01 20:07:50 2006 [Area] Oracle: There have been other Ones, you know--before him. Mon May 01 20:08:04 2006 [Area] Oracle: He was different, though. He changed the game. ... Mon May 01 20:08:43 2006 [Area] Oracle: Maybe... Or maybe...

They found Zion because the One before Neo had species preservation instead of self preservation as their emotional goal, so they picked the wrong door. Zion has always been created and populated by Machine will.

Digitize: Because I think it's obvious they meant to never show her exhaling. Thanks for pointing out that bit about Delphi, I forgot about that.

"So the machines went out of the way to save a human fetus, adding again a fetus that would be nothing special, because why? Illogical. Any theories that suggest a fetus was searched for and saved by the machines should be re-evaluated & w...

Well, I did try to use the search feature. Why does the Oracle never exhale her cigarette smoke? Seriously, does any one know? I've never seen an answer to this question. There is atleast one scene that you can infact see her exhale, I kno...

I didn't mean you poop the baby out. I meant if you are pregnant and you die labor still happens and the fetis, however far along, is "born". This would mean without immediate medical attention the baby would die. It would still die if dev...

I believe Sati represents the level of evolution the Machines have reached. The way she was made, the apparent race and religion of the parents, and her attitude are why I think this. She seems to be the most "human" of all the Machines. S...

"I know what SOME people will do for 30 USD but you forget that people who play MMORPGs are people who have the money to buy a nice computer, and pay around 50 a month for internet and youre going to tell me 15 is alot of money? give me a...

In a life or death situation addrenaline pumps through your body. It's like taking PCP, after it starts you're Godlike until it stops. It makes you much stronger by making you ignorent of pain, which is the only thing that holds man back p...

Well, to be honest with you no technology is required to be in the redpill for a wireless interface with a machine. We, in real life, already have the technology for machines to read the waves flying out of everyones brains and do somethin...

I just watched the scene in question. The bars go on an angle entering about chest level and exiting just below the ribs. A baby wouldn't have been directly effected by the bars, but when you die any baby inside comes out, along with your...

I hope Texas is allowed to make an example of Sony. They really did do wrong. Click here to see all the Slashdot articles about the Sony Rootkit. Even Macs aren't safe, hah! Click here if you don't know what rootkit means. On the other han...

Or you can walk the long way around and avoid all conflict.

Then the older players like me will be left standing alone at mara c wondering why they wasted so much money.

Well, I figure they used us because... We're human. If the Machines were religious wouldn't we be Gods? In the end we lost the war. Where no prisoners taken? Didn't we surrender? There were pro-Machine humans, living where? For how long? F...

I'm sorry for the personal loss suffered and I hope their countries have better disaster aid than the USA does. Hey, Walrus, shouldn't these stickies be in the off-topic forums? Haha. All these disaster stickies gives the forums a nice "th...

One thing, Chuui, if you read the articles linked by me you'd see that all of Sony is run by the same board. They say that's why they've been losing money, so now they are restructuring to be like you claim they already are. Here is how So...

*cough*

Christ am I the only techie that came to MXO? I hope if you have one of those cameras they fix it for free. I'm out. **bleep** you guys.

I don't consider it a bash at all. I'm just spreading information to the adults that might read here. If you don't keep up with the news I guess it doesn't make as much sense. I don't hate Sony at all, they never sold me a bad product. I j...

If you don't see the point take some time to think about it. And yes Sony is broken into a few chunks, but all those chunks are still Sony. They'll still sell off anything losing money to save themselves.

Sony just keeps stumbling lately. Ow. "In the past week, four major camera makers have quietly published service advisories admitting their digital cameras are dying. In each case, the flaw appears to involve Sony CCD sensors using epoxy p...

Those videos are awesome. The screen shots are better. THANK YOU!

I have to agree with Zionner. Hell and I was the one bumping the "any ETA on live event" thread to the top of the forums for 4 days until Walrus answered. What did it get me? Not a whole lot! Hah! The problem is that the LET members only c...

I totally disgree about the Nintendo controller. It's one of the steps in creating the Metaverse. We already have the network. All thats missing is the VR headset.

I found this, uh, not so reassuring. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/22/AR2005092200433.html "TOKYO (Reuters) - Struggling electronics and entertainment conglomerate Sony Corp. <6758.T> said on Thursday it woul...

These rules are all well and good, its too bad MXO doesnt follow them. I've only gotten the "Stolen Artifact" mission every time I mission for Zion...for the last month and a half. Hell, even the local contact missions are always the same...
