Techies and Trekkies Unite!

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?"

I hate Startrek !!!

[fini]

I'am a techy, a geek, a nerd, call it what you want. And, I hate Startrek ! I really do hate Startrek. I mean, that Startrek stuff is so, so, ...

Arfff, there's no word for that boring sclerotic half-assed sit-com, full of wooden third rate actors, stupid plots, 3 hours long "meaningful glances", you know, all those crappy sitcom gimmicks. May be Startrek is not the worst of the sitcom lot, but it's still a damn bloody lousy sitcom. If you want SF, read Frank Herbert, Dan Simmons, etc. I don't know. Do something ! But not Startrek, please, not Startrek.

Startrek is dumb and life is too short to do dumb things. So please, stop slapping Startrek and Geekdom together, please, please, please....
