  1. OMG! Voyager Threshold? The hair stands up on the back of my neck. A tingling begins in my toes and heads upwards forcing me forward as I sit watching. Suddenly my popcorn is full of puke. No doubt the worst Voyager episode ever!!! Jesus, Mary and Joseph save me.
  2. Some dude build a Star Trek Voyager themed house and went bankrupt. Here is the link to his web page. http://www.24thcid.com/24th_century_design.swf Here is the link to the bankrupt story. http://www.uberreview.com/2006/02/man-goes-bankrupt-building-starship-voyager-home.htm
  3. Piloting a hunk of metal filled with highly flammable fuel while soaring through the clouds might have something to do with their portrayal as idiots. Just a thought :p Almost forgot. I don't care for those Dixon Hill EPs either and Weasely was (and remains) the most annoying Trek character besides Nelix and Harry Kim. You don't like Klinger from M.A.S.H.? Whoa there fella, thems fighting words :p
  4. I use windizupdate.com for my XP updates but it doesn't seem to want to update IE7 (which I must use to bank online, Firefox doesn't work with my bank's web site >:(
  5. I haven't seen it yet but I bet it's good. My brother saw it and thought it was great and he absolutely hates scifi (especially super heroes).
  6. I believe I read (somewhere) that the wardrobe people had her laced into some kind of tight, restrictive girdle type thingy that made her boobs so prominate. If this is true, it might explain the lack of giggle. :p
  7. So very true! Ah, I can see it now - Spock rocking in his rocking chair. Smoking some type of Vulcan weed. Staring off into space whilst reminiscing with some cadet he's taken a fancy to... Gawd save us all!
  8. Thanks for the suggestions. Think I've found exactly what I need. If I ever get it done :p I'll post a picture.
  9. Hey, nothing beats Janeway's and Paris' lizard sex ep for a hoot!
  10. Have you tried FileZilla? From those folks who brought us Firefox. They have versions for Windows/Linux/Mac. And it's free. http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
  11. Never saw the beginning, so I picked up the one that started it all: Battlestar Galactica - The Miniseries Frakin great!
  12. Ah yes, I do fondly remember Tom Baker. LOL. Got cobwebs stuck to me!
  13. We have something here where you can donate any old PC. They are refurbished (if possible) and shipped off to third world countries (last I heard anyway). You can get a tax break. Probably why I haven't seen any out by the street waiting for trash pickup. Folks around here are deadly serious about recycling. There used to be a place across the river from me where you could get parts but they closed up last year. One thing I forgot to mention about the needed interior framework: I also need the case "face plate". Need two matching ones for symmetry (preferably from a mid-tower). If anybody has two matching face plates and the frame work lying around (no 286/386/486 stuff, too old looking) I'd be happy to take them off your hands. Shipping paid by me. Just need a pic of what they look like.
  14. LOL. I think she's just rubbing her neck. I think. I'm pretty sure. Maybe Tuvok is nearby? >:D
  15. Well, since no one seems interested in a contest. The answer is: Futureworld (sequel to Westworld). So much for trying to drum up some fun.
  16. Yeah, I have 2 @ MBs/HDDs/PSs/etc. I only need the internal framework to hold the HDDs/Floppy/DVD-CD players. No, no churches around I'd be comfortable walking into to ask if they have old computers they want to ditch and I'd rather not fabricate from scratch. Been so long since I've been in a church, the damn building just might fall down! :p As for the heat dissipation, there's plenty of room for a few 120mm fans as well as some 80s. Access would be quite easy as there's a large front door on the toolchest. I would turn the case around and this would be on the back. There's enough of a "lip" around the door for cut-outs for the MB hookups. I suppose I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for old computers put out for the trash (haven't seen any as yet). dr_strekge, I saw those pages as well. Like I said, I have searched and searched on the web to no avail. I no longer have an Ebay account (more trouble than it was worth) so that is out.
  17. Doesn't have to be a real starship. Only that it be named (in the movie) Starship Voyager. As for the movie, I assure you, it's worth watching. Took me forever to find a decent copy of it on DVD. Of course, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. :)
  18. Didn't know it was meant for kiddies, but that sure figures. Sorry, no suggestions. TV is just a vast wasteland right now (except for SGA and BSG). Look next for a reality show focusing on alien abducties! :p Only in America baby!
  19. Has anyone caught this new scifi show: The Sarah Jane Adventures? It's a Doctor Who spin-off. I saw it a few days ago, not too shabby but I thought the "monster" was a bit juvenile. Hopefully it will improve, as I am scifi starved! http://www.scifi.com/sarahjaneadventures/
  20. I have an old metal toolchest on casters (H=23.5" x W=18" x D=11") that I would like to turn into a dual motherboard PC case. It would have separate PSs for each MB, separate DVD/CD, etc. It's totally doable, however, I am having trouble finding the interior frame work for the HDDs and whatnot. I certainly don't want to buy 2 cases just to gut them (this is a shoestring project). My question: does anybody here know where I might be able to get the internal framework I need without making them myself from scratch? I've tried a ton of PC mod web sites and done extensive web searches without success.
  21. I was thinking of ships named "Starship Voyager" in particular. I have an old scifi movie that is out-of-print (so to speak) which mentions a Starship Voyager. I though of maybe having a contest to see if anyone could name the movie. As for a prize for the correct answer, maybe a copy of said movie? Any thoughts on this?
  22. Can anyone name any other shows or movies that had a starship named voyager?
