Construction very much pardoned, indeed even welcomed! Good to see these forums back, one of my favorite lurking places. :-)

I do want to see it, an SF film by Ridley Scott? Of course I'd see it. I plan to see it and judge it on its own merits, not for the connection to the Alien Universe. Now, sure, complete detachment from Alien would be impossible, but I think that …

[QUOTE=sinclair;194755]I downloaded the site instead of joining Facebook. You are forgiven, though.[/QUOTE] Ditto. I don't have a FB account but I have a copy of the site If you want to go to the trouble of adding the code for Google's Plus…

I think that all of use that work at offices have a similar fugly Cisco VoIP phone... Cool ships displays, BTW. :)

I'd say that Brian Greene (look Stingray, yet another Brian!) has done a great job of explaining string theory and related subjects to the general public. In addition to reading his first book (The Elegant Universe) I saw him in a talk about his sec…

I'm liking Google+, but my only point of comparison is a long abandoned MySpace account. That experience didn't convince me that social networking was useful to me (not many of my friends nor family had accounts there also). I considered joining Fac…

visited 18 states (8%) Liechtenstein, Vatican City, and several islands in the Caribbean are among the 18 countries, so small they don't even show, but they do count as sovereign states. Going on vacation tours (by bus in Europe, by Cruise Ship…

Thanks for making the site available for download. I got a copy now. You managed to collect some great information and shed light on a different side of the B5 universe. I understand that you didn't include the rant, but I must say I like that part…

it was the menu... bar [QUOTE=Stingray;193395]I still haven't figured out what part of a computer system the bar is supposed to represent. :D[/QUOTE] I guess you guys didn't notice the menus... :P

One of the first times I found TMFA was in an organic chemistry class in university, when learning about characterization by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The people that are experts in the technique created some strange and sometimes silly acro…

The mention of The Wrath of Kirk reminded me of one of the silliest mashups ever: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twe0fwtfVUc"]Star Trek: The Wrath of Chaka Khan[/URL] (Just to date myself, this was a hit song when I was almost a teenager…

[QUOTE=Freejack;193678]Space elevator is another concept, probably more realistic than a mass driver, but lacking a strong enough material. [/QUOTE] Actually there is a strong enough material, according to many scientists: Carbon Nanotubes. …

[URL="http://youtu.be/A_2GHlCUmCk"]Adolf[/URL] didn't like the changes either... I'm glad I bought the DVDs that included the original versions, of the original trilogy along with the special editions. That's all the Star Wars videos I need. Seei…

Even VCR related expressions won't die for centuries... like the "vicar" that recorded Talia's thoughts. :p

Congratulations and wishes for a lifetime of happiness. I hope you and your husband didn't have to play the music for all of the reception. ;) Cool that you cut the cake with a sword. I'd say that cutting it with a light saber would not mel…

I love Ghost In The Shell. Both anime series were great. I bought the DVDs and I watched with Japanese audio and English subtitles so I didn't have the shock of hearing the voice acting change that Freejack had. I also liked the movie that is a …

I watched GROPOS today. I started watching the DVDs just recently and I'm on season 2 now. The episode was actually better than I remembered it from the last time I watched B5 (during the SciFi channel first run of the whole series... it's been s…

Funny you should ask this as I read the following article just yesterday: [url]http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/02/ask-ars-if-im-printing-in-color-should-i-get-a-laser-or-an-inkjet-printer.ars[/url] Maybe not the exact answer, but not a…

With several months delay I second the recommendation of looking at Hugo and Nebula winners for good reads in the SF field. Another source for good names and finding new good authors is the "Year's Best SF" annual collection edited by David G. Hart…

That list was OK, but you made me waste over an hour on Cracked.com That actually tends to happen every time I click on a link to there, they do have some awesome stuff. :)

A good read, thanks. I agree with Biggles, they did keep most of those original concepts around in one way or another. I also found it interesting that they had more of the series arc we finally saw planned from the beginning that I though they had…

[QUOTE=Biggles;191435]Shockingly, I actually [i]won[/i] the lottery. Now I'm faced with an awful decision. I really want those books, but I really don't want to pay $650 for them.[/QUOTE] So did you in the end buy them? I also won a lottery draw…

We also shouted "NO MAMES CABRÓN" today, but for the opposite reason. :) México has a shot at the fourth game, but winning over Uruguay is the only way to clinch it. After winning over France it looks possible. France maybe wasn't at the top of …

The faith we mexicans have in our team is resumed in a saying we have: We played better than ever, we lost same as ever. ("jugamos como nunca, perdimos como siempre") At least we tied South Africa, but for a moment I thought we would lose. …

I'm not recommending a classic, but a good if overlooked SF movie released in 2004. The premise is that people can have brain implants that record their lives, when they die "cutters" assemble the footage into a homage movie. It's not about the tec…

[QUOTE=DarthCaligula;186762]Oh, and while we're talking about Asimov, I just have to state once again how much I hated Foundation and Earth. Why oh why did Asimov have to write those awful Foundation books after the trilogy was done?[/QUOTE] The…
