But the point is that there are much more efficient means of turning glucose into heat than the human body.

Means that don't involve glucose, even. A few ITER Mk. II (or III or IV or...) fusion reactors and the machines would be set for, uh, however long it would take for the atmosphere to regenerate itself, and then, uh, longer. The human battery deal just doesn't make sense from a physics POV.

"An interesting question would be why a person's Matrix self-image should match his actual physical form? I can't imagine why the machines would waste time on such a trivial matter (particularly since these people would, ideally, never be unplugged from the Matrix)."
What do you mean "waste time"? Having a scanner that determines what the person really looks like and makes their Matrix from look the same doesn't waste any time at all. On the other hand, having someone create a new Matrix body for each real body would be quite a waste.

quote:Originally posted by Nim the Fanciful: In a way, I'd have hoped the Matrix Universe had gotten a series with a four-season run. I would've liked to know what the ship's core is running on, how the Zion defenses work and what the tonnage, armor, max velocity and lifting force of the ships are.
I believe the Wachowski's once said they were considering a series possibility though the costs involved would be prohibitive. An animated series would take a lot longer to make but would be cheaper. If they made something of the quality of "Second Rennaissance" though I would be happy.
Thanks for those floorplans of the ships. I knew the Logos was small and nimble but I didn't think it was that small. That's my favorite of the ships though.
Did you see the hover car in "Animatrix: Second Rennaissance - Part One" that used the same electric pads as the hoverships? Nice continuity there with the movies.

No one has read the MATRIX comics have they.... They are Canon too!
Anyways, some good stories, blah blah blah...
The most intersting one is where the Machines breed a super human to act as a CPU for a space ship that is sent into space to attack an alien. Pretty cool. Go on matrix.com to find it. It should be there somewhere.

I know there's a graphic novel out there that has a bunch of stories in it. I keep meaning to pick it up as it has some pretty nifty artwork in it.

When you two manbabies are done, maybe the discussion can continue, hm?
Aban, do you mean "Art Of The Matrix"? I've been meaning to order it, it can't be found in my usual sci-fi bookstore.
There's a new one coming out also, "Art of Reloaded/Revolutions", with paintings and sketches of the other hovercraft ships not seen, except the few glances in the big docking bay scene of "Reloaded" (Vishnu, Novalis, Ganesha, Icharus, Gnosis, Caduceus and Brahma).
Also, it's to have some more things on the "Machine-side", I believe.

Nim: No, that's not the one I'm talking about, though that looks well worth a looksee. I'm talking about a graphic novel with additional stories in it. One is told from the point of view of a guy who was approached by Morpheus and given an opportunity to leave the Matrix, but wussed out and took the blue pill. Now he's haunted by regret. I don't remember the name of the book, though.
Oh, and though I'm loathed to even comment on this... If you're talking about the way-too-long Trinity/Neo love scene in Zion, that's not her nipple. It's one of the ports on her chest. Sheesh.

I am just worried! It is like when you're all walking down the avenue and you see the long haired vixen on the corner, from the back, and you're all like "Hey hey, little lady!" And then your dream girl turns around and OH NO! It is a guy.
I'm not into all the cybermechanical fetishes, so I gotta cover all my bases.
