    ... maybe it will be enough for an 8 nodes Windows supercomputer. Obviously, if you want a 16 nodes Windows cluster, you will need a slightly more speedy hardware.

  4. NCC-1701-C by dj_paulgibbs · · Score: 1 · on Berman Confirms Star Trek Prequel Film Project
    Voyager is set during TNG and DS9, so its prequel has already, in a way, been done. DS9's prequel is arguably part of untouched TNG history so there wouldn't be much of a story to tell (except perhaps another war with the Cardissians and the Marquis). As posters have suggested, it could be Starfleet Academy for one or more of the characters from other series - remember, Picard's academy days were often referred to in TNG. I think that the prequel to TNG is most likely, the little known Enterprise C. From this site:
    The fourth starship Enterprise was under the command of Captain Rachel Garret when it was destroyed by a Romulan fleet in 2344. The Enterprise-C responded to a distress call from a Klingon outpost on Narendra III that was being attacked by Romulans. The Enterprise was presumed destroyed and surviving crew taken prisoner. The Klingon Empire viewed these events as an act of honor by Starfleet which led to an increased peace with the United Federation of Planets.

    Imagine a warp bubble rendering the contents essentially massless, thus the input energy for kinetic motion is miniscule enabling fantastic speeds.

    Oh, the theory for that has already been worked out. Now we only need dilithium crystals!

  7. Here is the solution by Snaller · · Score: 2, Informative · on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System?

    Assuming he doesn't mind running Windows:

    Buy the XCard - it will playback divx and mpg, but it does it in hardware so even a slow computer can serve movies(Specifically it plays Plays DVD-Video, Superbit DVD, Super VideoCD (SVCD), and VideoCD (VCD) 1.x, 2.0, DivX , MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 files, Play NTSC titles on PAL televisions, PAL titles on NTSC televisions )
    Composite, s-video, scart rgb, s/Pdif outputs.

    Then you should buy JovePlayer - this is a player dedicated to work with the Xcard. Your basic "Home Theater Software", it displays its menu interface on the TV screen (and is skinnable btw, so if you want it to look like StarTreks LCARS, you probably could) - if you have a faster machine it offers the ablity to reencode video formats that the XCard doesn't support nativly (such as RealAudio, Windows media - and straight from web pages if you like).

    Then you just fit your "home theater" machine, with harddrives with your content, pop in CD's, or mount network shares and navigate with JovePlayer (and the remote) to the desired folder and click on the relevant IFO file. It will play back as a normal DVD, (because in essense it is a normal DVD, you might just have relocated it) -via the remote you can navigate the DVD Menus, change soundtracks, page through subtitles etc. You can bookmark specific places and make playlists as well :)

  9. Alright, geekdom time! by Flamerule · · Score: 2 · on Antimatter Space Drive
    No. This site has some relevant technobabble.

    Basically, warp drives are run off antimatter -- but dilithium is the only known substance that doesn't react to antimatter, when subjected to an EM field. So the dilithium just processes the antimatter.

    Nothing to stop you learning how technology works once you have it, anyway I've checked and they developed it themselves after the Klingon Unifcation.

    Would Microsoft's Luna look like it does without Apple's Aqua?

    Yes. I mean, just put them side by side for crying out loud! How can you think Luna was derived from Aqua?

    If you squint at Luna, it looks more like LCARS than Aqua. Maybe Paramount should sue MS instead of Apple.
