Re: ST:TMP: I just remember that the scenes were so dark that you couldn't tell what was going on. When I went, the movie was projected through a dusty window. Not sure if it would have been easier to clean the window or just open up the film camera a couple of stops when they shot the movie.
I had thought the consensus was that air launch was not much of a benefit over ground launch. That is, I thought the need for an air launch to be perfect versus, simply leaving a liquid-fueled rocket clamped to the launch pad was one disadvantage, and the velocity and altitude were not that much of an advantage compared to the difficulties of an air launch.
Obviously air-launch worked for X-1 and X-15, but I never heard of anyone trying to air-launch the space shuttle.
First, payphones would not accept incoming calls because then drug dealers could deal drugs more efficiently. Then it didn't matter because everyone had a telephone in their pocket. Now the payphones are to become open access points? Won't that make it easier for drug dealers to deal drugs?
Think of a mod-down as a time-saving feature for all of us. If someone decides to view all comments above Score:2, and yours is one of the weakest of the Score:3s, it is a favour to everyone else that your comment becomes one of the best of the Score:2 comments rather than a drag on the Score:3s.
Right now this thread has 43 Score:5s and 47 posts greater than Score:3. Down-modding would be a favour to someone who only has time right now to look at the Score:5s.
(Submitter again.) Concur. Great English and a reasonable answer to the question. When I submitted, I was thinking that the top fireworks people would be akin to the small community of building demolition specialists. Maybe not!
(Submitter here.) I should have put quote marks around the portion of the sentence about signals and introductions. I meant to, but after multiple previews I still forgot. It took me fifteen seconds to submit this story....

The "new" evidence seems to consist of modern modelling of seventy-five year old radio logs and photo-analysis of a seventy-something-year-old photograph.
It is hard to believe that she would not have attempted to make some sort of mark on the island. Why wasn't she wearing a spark-plug necklace?
What does "last vestiges of the truly British automobile in the States" mean? Does it mean something different than "last vestiges of the truly British automobile in the world." Or does this stupid sentence mean something else stupid?
Years ago there was a quarterly magazine called Inventions and Technology that one received when they purchased a General Motors auto. Each issue devoted a page to some ancient piece of machinery/equipment that was still in use decades after it should have been thrown away.
The gist of the article was always the same: it still works just fine and we would never make something as nice today. I wish I could find that magazine somewhere.

"I was trained in Scum/Agile/Design for Lean Six Sigma to the green belt level and have over 4 years experience."
No buzzwords here, thankfully. Is Scum that super-stripped-down version of Agile that I have heard about?

Didn't know about this game, but now I know where the plot to A View to a Kill came from.

Needs to do a commemorative "You can't touch this" nuclear edition on sapphire.

1) Do you wear glasses? 2) Solar-panel beanie.

Or the headline writer could just not be an asshole and call it a sub or submarine.

Is enough known about footprint formation to estimate the mass of the creature that made them?
[Sorry if this is a repeat. I do not see my first attempt.]
Let's have Volkswagen put this Bugatti Veyron together.... Seems just as ridiculous.
I see you don't like videos, so I made a video that explains why videos suck.

Are you telling me that air pilots are walking around with astrolabes and that airplanes have astrodomes?

Obligatory.
"Epoxy resin!" I believe that is what Patrick McGoohan found in the test valve for the torpedo tube in Ice Station Zebra.

I didn't read either article, but didn't we just go through this a few days ago?
