Cryogenics?

Cryogenics, for those who don't know, is the study of materials at very low temperatures, and is more commonly used to described the preservation of humans after death. People can actually pay money to have there entire body (or just there head) preserved, by putting it into a "freezer" of extremely cold temperatures as soon as they die. Scientists believe that one day, we will have the technology to unfreeze these people and they will be alive once again (They also believe a new body will be able to be created for the people who just chose to keep there head, but hey, its much cheaper)

So, would you yourself look into cryogenics, as a way to defy death? Or is this a tad extreme?

(Han Solo did it in "Return of the Jedi", why can't we?)

Fiction. Freezing a biological material changes too many completely. If needed be, a lifeform must be frozen inside out at the same time (in a fraction of a second) and preserving density/volume. (which is mostlikely not happening)

Because Han Solo is (probably) a fictional character that (most likely) does not or will not exist.
Although it MAYBE possible, it is highly unlikely at this point in time.

Besides, should you freeze a person now, and thaw them out later, even with the capable technology, would be like throwing a caveman into our modern society. (Or if you're an insane bible guy who goes "HEY, CAEVMEN DUN EXIST", its like throwing a dumbass into an advanced social system, say a "Nerd Lab").
There is a low possibility of co-existing.

Doesn't sound too extreme for frogs.

Relatively ancient and inactive

My new plan: Become a frog.

Frongs don't exactly have the same motor functions and mental capacities as compared to that of humans.

That was a well constructed sentence.

People don't exactly have the underwater breathing abilities of frog either, but I'm saying if there's something out there that can achieve a cryogenic status, we can learn from it.
So yes, I think freezing people will be possible in the future. (Of course we could freeze them now, but that would do little good.)

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier

NudeRaider shouted: Symmetry I can't tell if it's relevant. You provided literally no context so I was providing an equally generic answer.
