    Speaking of KPH: Do people actually write KPH instead of km/h? It's not much longer, and much more unambiguous.

    There's actually one relatively well-known Slovenian song called (and sung) "1000 kilometers". Ironically, it's sung by a Slovene group called California :)

    Besides, only the Germans have a campaign in PG. I suppose nobody wants to play a game where you lose the first 10 or so battles, and then you slowly start winning.

    You cite scandinavian countries, they have the benefits of very low population densities, and can providing most of the power with hydro plants. Areas with denser population basically have a choice between coal and nuclear.

    Yes, countries are starting to look into other alternatives, but the time between "looking into something" and having it generate 50% of the world's power takes a very long time. On the other hand, if we just stopped building coal plants and build nuclear instead, we would have significantly less pollution in ~10 years.

  22. Re:In my daughter's word(s) on All Star Trek TV Coming To Netflix · · Score: 1

    Oh hell no! I love Deep Space Nine! It was the only series of Star Trek in which the characters felt as if they were real characters and once you could relate to.

    Yes, it was a complicated series but if you watch the series from start to finish with no break in between, the series plot line makes sense.

    That might be true for the first four seasons. I watched it from start to finish with no break, so I remember the plot quite well. I liked it from the start, and I liked most of the characters.

    However, after about half of the series, everything goes downhill. Yes, changeling invade, but nobody bothered to explain why. Every possible Cardassian role, and even one Bajoran, is played by Gul Dukat. In the last season, they even dropped the "And now, the continuation", but the entire season became a soap opera. The war is won by Sisko talking to the wormhole aliens. Really, why didn't they think of this before? And don't get me started about the parallel universe, every other episodes seems to be taking place there. Maybe I'm just not the type to enjoy seeing Kira in leather. Oh, and Sisko's dream where all the same actors play different roles working for a newspaper company.

    Awesome!!

    I share her sentiment. I'm especially looking forward to Deep Space Nine being available - we already own TOS, so having it on Netflix is of less importance to us.

    It's a good day for nerd-dom.

    If you haven't seen DS9 yet, don't. It's by far the worst Star Trek series. And trust me, I've seen them all.
