  2. Goodbye. It's obvious that people hate me, so I'll leave. Adios.
  3. Especially since it's not true porn. I still don't get to see the sexy Asian girl's or cute Cally's oh-so-soft breasts. So it's just a lot of pointless teasing, and no reward. (Same applies to Enterprise's pointless shower scenes.) I either want to see it all, full nudity, or nothing... leave out the teasing. I'd rather have story & dialogue.
  4. Photon torpedoes work on the "warp speed projectile" principle. Unfortunately Star Trek has never truly represented the physics (which is why it's science FANTASY, not science). - A Jem'Hadar impacting at near-light velocity would instantly vaporize a Galaxy-class starship. - A photo torpedo at warp speed would not even be slowed down as it sliced through a Roman Warbird (or even a whole fleet of warbirds). These objects, moving at near-lightspeed or over-lightspeed velocities would have enough Kinetic Energy to instantly liquefy a planet. 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2(2000 kgs)( 299,792,458 m/s)^2 = 898,755,178,736,817,640,000 = a heck of a lot of destructive energy.
  5. Go ahead and just TAKE whatever you want. Movies. TV shows. Music. Your neighbor's shiny new car (just joking). You win!!!!!! Just Download it all. Now please stop sending Hate-Mail to my private yahoo account. Stop harrassing me. Please. Disagreeing is one thing. But threatening to kill someone via email is NOT acceptable in any way, shape, or form.
  6. Hey... another one of my posts has been deleted. What the? Why are my posts disappearing? Anyway I commented that I could have understood this quote better, but it was poorly worded. You say "stop twisting my words," but the truth is that your lack of punctuation/grammers makes it impossible for me to understand you. QUESTION: And what if the warp drive does not exceed like lightspeed? What if it has the same limitations as ordinary propulsion systems?
  7. Thanks. That was an eye-opening article. Still does NOT justify stealing other people's songs. You say you offer your songs for P2P sharing... but that's *voluntary* sharing. You wouldn't like P2P if people just stole your songs w/o your permission. "Troy is redundant" - "Troy is a churl" - "Troy is a child" ----- ALL of these violate the rules.
  8. Agreed with you. BUT what about the $5.00 an hour laborers who got laid-off, because SW3's sales were poor (because millions downloaded instead of going to the theater)?
  9. That's funny, because it's the Democrats who do most of the Partisan Name-calling. You can't turn on the news without hearing "ultra-conservative Bush" or other partisan labels. The Democrats *love* to use labels & create devisiveness between people. More: - "the rich are screwing the poor" - "it looks like a clear case of black vs. white" - "the people living in the central part of the country are clueless & incompetent" Democrats do nothing but label & divide the population & set them against one another.
  10. I hate Online RPGs. Boring. Like watching milk sour in your cereal bowl. I would have prefered the Alliance stand-alone game instead.
  11. SO who deleted my post? To repeat what I said, "That guy who stole the DVD from the production faciliy deserved what he got. His theft of the Studio Copy led to millions of people downloading it for free, and NOT going to the theater, thereby reducing the income for Lucas studios & its minimum wage employees."
  12. I've reported the last two posts from C4 and Mav. Why you guys think it's acceptable to attack other people is beyond me. All I did was an express an opinion that these thieves deserved what they got. I'm sorry you don't like that opinion, but that does not entitle you to personally attack me. Attack the idea, NOT the person. <--Basic manners. You know what's funny about that? In the US, artists get LESS THAN ZERO if you buy a CD. Unless that artist is selling more than 500,000 units, the artist is generally losing money, and is better off working at a 7-11. Hmmm. That's news to me. Can you provide links to articles which Provide Stats supporting this claim? Thanks! :cyclops:
  13. Provide proof that I "consistently expressed distaste for" character/plot developemt. Good luck. Considering I list several serialized shows --- (DS9, Babylon 5, Buffy, SG1, The New Doctor Who) --- in my Signature, that automatically disproves your ridiculous assertion against me. Just admit you were wrong. You ascribed comments to me that I never made. Strawman Argument (logical fallacy) on your part.
  14. my quotation is more general, plus as i noted curvatures in space times causes acceleration and change in direction "which is a form of acceleration" not movement in space.. The reason I did not understand your original quote? Because you use poor English grammar. You can't expect people to understand you when you don't follow the rules of the language. You point the finger at me and say, "Theaveng is not listening." Wrong. You should point the finger at yourself and say, "I explained poorly." QUESTION - What if the warp drive, like today's propulsion systems, can not exceed lightspeed?
  15. Uh, you are. BULL. I've never said I dislike serialized tv shows. Don't put words in my mouth. Here's what I actually said: "The second season has improved with more emphasis on exploration, but it's still not up to the level of far superior shows like the X-Files Alien Mythology, Deep Space Nine's Bajor/Cardassian/Dominion Arc, or Babylon 5's Shadow War/Birth of the Alliance videonovel." "(shrug) If you see the New Galactica DVDs for $15 used, go ahead and buy them. It's worth watching once, but otherwise largely forgettable. " Now show me where, in any of the above, I said I hate serialized stories? YOU CAN'T. Because I named several serialized stories that I LIKE - X-files, B5, DS9. (duh) The reason I disliked Galactica Year 1 is not because of the format. The format is great. I disliked BSG-1 because it is *poorly written*. Learn comprehension Tenebrae & read what I actually said.
  16. Example: There was a good TNG episode yesterday about a Human boy who is found on an Alien Spaceship. At first Picard & the rest of the crew decide the boy MUST be kept and returned to Earth-based society. But at the very end, Picard admits he was wrong, and the Human boy should be returned to his Alien father. I have no doubt that Roddenberry was involved. He loved to create "And the moral is..."-type stories. TNG = intelligent. V'ger = Simplistic. In V'ger Janeway would have blasted the Alien father to bits & then run away, and then lectured the human boy why it was okay to kill his father. Childish.

  18. Why would they hide the body? After all, volunteering to tie yourself to a rack is not illegal. Dummies. Better to just call the local Hospital to haul away the body.
  19. (see subject) [your company = the place where you work] My company makes CPU boards.
  20. Hell no. I remember a Roman philosopher saying, "If you are declared an enemy of the state, there is nowhere to run. All the known world is under the Roman Emperor's brutal hand." What if the One-World Government fell into the hands of another Stalin? During the Cold War, people could escape Stalin and seek freedom under other governments. But what if Stalin controlled the whole world under a single government? You would be trapped.
