  1. Well I have been gone for a long time. However, this interested me. No, if a tree falls an no one is around, it does not make a noise. In order for the air molecules that have been moved to create a noise, there must be someone/something around to hear it. Unless there is, then no noise.
  2. I personally think they are trying to do to much "linking" between Enterprise and TOS and from then on, in the last few episodes. They still need to tie some technology in there too. They still don't use the transproters as much as they could, and I dunno. I just think they are trying to tie up to many loose ends at once.
  3. Well I am 25 (in June) married (to a lovely 22 year-old) and am expecting my first child in July.
  4. people just ask what needn't be asked. I will always try to put in my two cents, however. :rolleyes: I just laugh :rolleyes:

    Religion

    Just trying to stir the pot a bit, but to all the people who say they are Atheist. I order to say "I don't beleive in God" is that not verifying his belief? You are refusing to believe in something that you say does not exist and therefore does not need to be believed in. Sounds kind of backwards to me. In my humble opinion, in order to refuse to beleive that something does not exist, you first need to acknowledge the possibility that it does. :p
  6. I would only be Captain of the Enterprise E, or the funky D from the future. Kick some Ass. And after voyager got back form the Delta Quadrant, I would make sure I got that kickass armor and the great weapons. And then go all vigilante on some Borg and whoever else wanted to play!!!
  7. Hell ya I would pay a buck an episode... Be WAY cheaper than the 180 or so it is for a season (26 eps).... Even at 2 bucks.....
  8. All forms of democracy are a farce and we are only fooled into thinking we make a difference..... Think of this comment my boss made to me once about how we run the plant. "This is a democracy, because we (boss and I) choose it to be!" Could that be true in government as well. Don't get me wrong I still vote and would rather be able to change leaders than have Hitler or a King, or something... But I still think we have less freedoms than the greeks originally hoped for when they created democracy....
  9. My wife has a HUGE test at 9.... ands its 4...... and shes sitting beside me on the other computer finishing here homework that is worth 25% of her mark...... Quick question, what the hell am I still doing up??? :stare:
  10. [quote=VonHelton"Too many Chefs spoil the soup." Amen to that brother!
  11. Me I am from Alberta Canada.... Any other Canadians out there??
  12. Well call me blind, or naive, or whatever you want but I don't think the world is going to drown by the ice caps melting (doesn't water take up MORE room frozen than it does liquid?) and I don't think the world is going to hit a deepfreeze like The Day After Tomorrow True if the whole temperature of the world goes up 10 degrees there will be famine, and drought, and well death and stuff. So that is what we must stop. Cut back on greenhouse gases, and maybe we should try to stop wasting much food and water. But we should also try to invent cleaner energy source. Like Fusion, Hydrogen, and what not. Rather than dump money into trying to clean up "dirty" industries, maybe we should try to get "clean" industries going and making money. You need to spend money to make money.. One last thing, I don't know if any of you guys like paying more than 2 bucks a gallon (80 cents a liter in Canada thats almost 3 bucks a gallon.) But the sooner we can develop clean and renewable energy source, the sooner we can say to the Middle East "You screwed us when we need cheap energy, and made us pay through the ass for oil and gas. So now that we have better energy source. You can go FUCK YOURSELF!!"
  13. The main problem behind piracy is the greed for the almighty dollar. People do not want to pay $20 for a CD. $30 for a movie. $70 for a new computer game. $150 for a season of TNG. We do not want to waste the little money that we have in order to pay for some exec at Warner, or Sony, or Universal new summer home, or his fancy sports car. I say if they want to fight piracy, make stuff cheaper. Would I pay $7 for that new cd? SURE! $15 for a DVD movie? WHY NOT. $50 for a season of TNG? HELL YA. If they want to keep technology growing and not infridge on profits then they need to find ways to make the content cheaper for the people. Make it so cheap that buying it is a WAY better idea than downloading it. We need the iPods, and TiVos and all that stuff because we are so busy in our lives that we cannot afford the time to watch our shows. Or we don't want to pay $20 bucks for that one Green Day song we like. Its the MPAA the RIA and the software companies that make billions each year that drive these sites, and drive this new technology. Everyone is out to make a buck, so why do we have to suffer? Technology will just be driven underground and black market if they keep this BS up. They are only hurting themselves.
  14. I have mixed feelings about the arcs. I like the extended plots and the more in depth storylines. However, if you miss a show you can't watch it next week or you're lost, or you spoil the ending. I liked TNG for wrapping things up and getting on with life, however sometimes it made for unrealistic things. Like Geodi and Data solving something or using some "theoretical" technology or hell inventing something new. And warping across the galaxy, or using the transporter to make them old again, or killing the borg, or... hell the list goes on and on. Like why don't Data and Geordi work at StarFleet-invent-things-place... So that is my mixed feelings, and I beleive most people would feel similar. I makes following the show difficult unless you can make the show every week (which is what they want I guess). But I am still a Trek fan and will be so until I die.
  15. Don't have a clue. Never actually heard that name before. Anyone know? Now I am interested
  16. I tend to agree with VonHelton.... If Nite starts selling t-shirts, that brings more attention to the site.
  17. Ture methane is a potential energy source. But would you want to work there? In order to capture it you would need some sort of "plug" for the cows "butt" (don't go thinking dirty on me boys) however, that is to assume they would be outside. If they were inside, then you could just have the sir being collected and filtered to remove the methane and therfore have your energy. One renewable energy source I would like to see being used more would be ethanol. Comes from corn, burns cleaner than gas, and gets the same mileage. And if I remeber properly, doesnt cost to much more to produce compared to gas...
  18. Actually the real reason is that Voyager was created with the possibility that the Federation may "aquire" transwarp drive. Due to past experiences that the Federation has had with Tranwarp, it showed a great deal of stress on the warp nacelles. So in order to effectily use normal warp the nacelles have to fold into a proper position, however, the supports are more bulky and stronger, therefore in their "down" position they are able to deal with added stress more effectivly and therefore be able to enter Transwaro conduits..
  19. I think the rest of the season the rating will go up and up. I believe that people will make the effort to watch the new episodes rather than just let it go.
  20. I think something they should look at is how the DVD sales do. They should not have cancelled Enterprise until they released at least the first 3 seasons on DVD. Look at "The Family Guy" They cancelled it, and now it is coming back due to great DVD sales. What about making a 5th season and releasing it on DVD?? As for raising 35 million to buy the show, can I be the guy who holds the cash??? ;) But really, how many people are going to put money in? 3.5 million at 10 bucks a head? 350,000 at 100? 35,000 at 1000??? Even at $10,000 you still need 3,500 people to put cash in. That is doable, I know I would be in. However, try to get 3,500 people to come to a decision on what the series does.... it is not going to happen. Where do you meet??? I beleive that is unrealistic. Don't mean to burst your bubble, however reality must come into play....
  21. Pain and sex should not go together, regardless of what people think... that is just plaihn wrong....
  22. Because they don't care. Thats why...
  23. Yes our ability is rather low and research has barely began, but knowledge grows exponentially. Once we discovers something important, we will just keep going ang going. You look how advanced we were 50 years ago to today. Go 100 years ago.... Cars just invented, no planes, doctors who used leeches, etc. Now look at today, cars breaking the speed of sound, planes that can go Mach10, we can make anti-matter, etc. In 25 years where will we be? In 50? 100, we will be warping around the galaxy... In order to look how we will advance in the future, one just needs to look into the past...
  24. What is Miranda? I have never heard of that. And as for having accounts on all of them, I just use MSN for the same reason I used IE, it comes with windows and therefore alot of people use it... I have had ICQ/AOL and I think thats it.
  25. Hey I may not of hit them all, but hey vote anyway... And if you wish, post your email/number/whatever it is your IM service uses to identify you and then we can chat or at least meet up in the forum....
