Fot the nebula thing, sure, you could slow down, but relative velocities in space combat could be huge. If you drop your speed that much, it could make you much easier to hit. Not to say it wouldn't work, but even unguided missiles might have a ch…

A few points here. First, a great deal of our weapons systems even now are EMP hardened. Since the effect does work here on Earth, we design our fighters and tanks and such to still be able to function after nuclear weapons have been used. Espe…

Here's something to think about. France has had its ups and downs, militarily. All the ups, however, have not been led by men from France. I think Charlemagne was a Frank, and William of Normandy was really a Viking (think about it- Normandy, Nor…

As far as the opening the gate to destroy the enemy idea goes, jumpgates would probably be built with some sort of safety protocols to keep them from being used like that. I mean, an explosion of that size inside a gate could very well cause enough…

I'm just afraid that he set himself too high a bar with B5 and Crusade. I know people say that it takes a few episodes for a new series to really get going, for the actors to figure out how to work together, but most people who don't remember the f…

Also think of this: from a corporate standpoint, which is better, to keep airing a show you know will get you ad revenue, and which is cheap because it is already done filming, or ditching it in favor of who knows what, pissing off your fans, and sp…

Yeah, I would like confirmation too, if mine arrived. Nick Takeda_Shingen@hotmail.com was the address I used, I think.

Bump the donation contest notice up to the top of the main page. Perhaps people aren't noticing it. At least, I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. If there are 500 regular members (I don't know how many there are), and half of tho…

When you say 'if not filled with interesting people,' you mean because they are all crazy instead of interesting, right? Because if you stay very long, they will get your attention. Nick

See, I believe that mankind can fulfill its hopes and dreams without discarding all that has brought us this far. Not to say it won't happen, because I cannot predict the future. I won't even say it shouldn't happen, because I want to give people …

Okay, shadow boxer, I'll give you this. If such a 'Terran' government actually came to pass, it could be, if managed properly, the single greatest force for the evolution of human civilization the world has ever seen. However, such a government,…

Now let's think about this for a minute. You're asking me to give up part of the land area of my country for this 'Terran' government. No deal. I doubt anyone would want to live in a barren wasteland, I refuse to relocate people to make way for s…

By the same logic that terrorists can be associated with Islam, and the Crusades can be associated with Christianity, one could state that all women are child-murdering looneys after hearing about Andrea Yates, and whoever that woman was a few years…

.......Wow. There really are bigger geeks than me. I thought I had achieved a new level of social ineptitude when the guys at work started coming to me to resolve SW and ST arguments, but I do believe this takes the cake. Thanks, guys [img]http:…

But do they actually explain their FTL drive? Nick

It will be something like 2057 before the last three are done at the current rate, and all the actors will be decrepit old men. I say old men because the way hollywood works, they will probably get some woman at least 30% silicone by weight to play…

Damn work and school!!! I missed the whole thing! Fortunately I saw them when they first came out, and pretty much remember everything that happened. And besides, this is an excuse for buying DVD's, if they are ever released. Nick

Whatever the US response is, it must be something that allows us as a nation to keep the moral high ground. We must be able to say at all times that we acted with honor, to show the world just what it means to be American, and why America is great.…

Well, so long as you have a minumum. I personally don't care for the idea of somebody donating $.25 and getting a big prize out of it. Even if the prize isn't that big, it just seems like taking advantage. Nick Sending something as soon as I get…

We have so few spies anymore, we can't know where the leaders are specifically enough to do it. The CIA has basically been castrated. The only way we can get close enough to do anything focused would probably require so many troops that the leader…

War should be the last resort, I think we are all agreed on that, but can anyone really believe that diplomacy is the answer to attacks on US soil taking thousands of innocent lives? Should we ask them to stop? The Trade Center was bombed before…

Reason is the greatest ability of man. Yet what do we do if those we face do not listen to reason? We call them fanatics for a reason. They are so extremist and bent on destruction that even their own people fear and shun them. If we attack, t…

The fanatics will hate and attack us until they die. There are two ways to consider that. I don't think we can justify killing them as a pre-emptive strike, but after they show us what they are willing to do by hitting us at home, I doubt they ca…

It's all about education and industrialization. People need to learn logic and ethics so they can have a somewhat common viewpoint about values in life. Basically, that a person is valuable in their own right, regardless of whether they share your…

Anyone who says hate is a bad thing is absolutely right. I am an American, yet I do not hate the terrorists who did such horrible things this week. I do not feel much anger towards them, or much sadness at the plight of the victims. What I feel i…

At work we had to take down some HP demo signage that showed a drawing of the world trade center from the ground looking up, with an airliner flying towards it. Nobody has yet complained about the "Hijaak" graphics software or the assasin game with…

It's too bad that Firstones can't be a dealer for the DVD's directly, and get all the profit from their sale instead of part of Amazon's, but of course that would be far too much trouble to ask anyone to go to. Especially for the small response we …
-
Well, I ordered mine. This just goes to show everyone, though, why no company wants to count on fans who promise to buy stuff. I remember how many people were putting their names on lists to say they would buy even multiple copies, but now that it…

Does anyone know if the Creative Labs DVD drive/software is region free or not? That could make my life easier (TV-out). I would check myself, but that computer is down right now, and I can't find any papers. Nick
-
Well, I hope you get the answer you're looking for, because I've been waiting with the other guys here for a very long time. But if they say no, they probably won't give you a reason why, just a formal 'not interested, thank you for you inquiry and…
