Every attendee will be able to make themselves look like any of your favorite ST species, Borg, Klingon, Vulcan, Terran, Ferengi, etc etc. The servers for the event are supposed to be able to handle up to 100,000 users, which would mean a rather large convention, let's just hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as Final Fantasy. With full 3D conventions here now, can a holodeck really be that far off?"
Beam me up, Scotty.
its trekker, not trekkie!

20 screenshots Full preview Final Fantasy XI System: PlayStation 2 Developer: Squaresoft Publisher: Square/EA Release Date: USA: Fall 2002 JPN: May 16, 2002 PAL: Unknown Square is quite the risk taker for such a prominent company. Some risks pay off, such as bring the Final Fantasy series to a disc format early. Some don't, such as bringing it to the big screen. Final Fantasy XI is the latest entry in the hallowed RPG series, and with it comes the risk of debuting an entire online network, PlayOnline, and taking the franchise massively multiplayer.

A professor at the University of Mississippi is giving a
lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his
audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in
ghostses?" About 90 students raise their hands.
"Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who
believe in ghostses, do any of you think you've ever seen
a ghostse?" About 40 students raise their hands.
"That's really good. Has anyone here ever talked to a
ghostse?" 15 students raise their hands.
"That's great. Has anyone here ever touched a ghostse?" 3
students raise their hands.
"That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question
further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghostse?"
One student way in the back raises his hand.
The professor is astonished and says, "Son, all the
years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever
claimed to have slept with a ghostse. You've got to come
up here and tell us about your experience."
The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and
begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor
says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with
ghostse."
The student replies, "Ghostse?!? From ah-way back there ah
thought yuh said "goatse."
How long before someone 0wns the convention server system?

Wow, I bet women just are dying to get their hands on you.
Jealous, huh
and your lack of same, but I am sadly disenfranchised from the penis length measuring game of self-worth determination.
