No, I'm asking for something in the lines of the mirror Universe so that people who want action will get it and leave the non-mirror Universe stories, characters, plots and original idea of Star Trek alone.
Remember that two-episode arc in Enterprise where humans are conquerors and other races are their slaves? If we're going to get crap action movies, they might as well use alternate Universe stories.
Maybe that's the solution... Makes movies and TV shows for both Star Trek timelines. The scientific and diplomatic Star Trek that we love (DS9, TNG) and the shoot-first-asks-questions-later action Star Trek set in that alternate Universe.
Maybe call the timelines with names appropriate for them, or at least non-racist terms. I'd hate for them to settle on something as stupid as "Star Trek White" and "Star Trek Black".
From what I understood, the problem was that the hyphens were not the proper character so while one guy complained it probably affected a lot of readers too, especially blind readers who use text-to-speech. What's an annoyance for us might turn into a book that's nearly impossible to read for them.
Where a traditional brash American northerner gets angry, but never fights for honor, a traditionally polite American southerner stays polite until you go to far and then goes for blood.
And then the Canadian has to apologize in a passive-aggressive way even if it wasn't his fault.
I can load any damn PDF file I want on my Kindle, but I can't even change the images for the "screensaver". And no, it's not the cheaper-Kindle-but-you-get-ads model.
samzenpus was too lazy to include a link on "OK Google" and now we'll get dozens of pointless "just fucking search it yourself" replies from people who cannot understand that it would have taken samzenpus about 10 seconds to add a link but instead we'll have dozens and dozens of people wasting minutes searching for something.
The Web is supposed to be links. I know this is Slashdot and we're supposed to be nerds, but not everyone uses the same hardware, the same software or work in the same fields. Some readers are not even in IT. I do no expect authors to put links on really basic terms like "RAM" or "Hard drive" but there's still a minimum of effort that authors need to do.
Some of us don't use a phone to watch YouTube. It's easier to rotate your phone 90 degrees to watch landscape videos.
Vertical and horizontal composition have been valid for 150 years - don't blame photographers for 90lb CRT's or lazy web design.
That's true for static paintings and photos. Movies and videos, however, were always in landscape mode (4:3, 16:9, etc). Vertical videos only happened when phones were able to record videos.
Another thing I can think of is that South American's take GREAT offense when you refer to people in the USA as American.
Being Canadian, I'm also annoyed when people say "American" since America is made of two whole continents, however I'm not sure what word I'm supposed to use. Some people say "USAsian" but it sounds like "U.S. asian" to me.

This is all very interesting but totally pointless! Which modules? Tell us the brands, model names, manufacturer numbers?

Great, you just made the automated cat litter box sad.

The guy cared enough to complain to Amazon, so it was a problem for him.
And after that, I bet they'll require a title. The bastards must be stopped.
Those 100 words are repeated over 65536 times so it broke Amazon's word-counter program.
Probably OVER 9000!!!

If we always had to wait until the biggest problems are fixed before fixing the little ones, we would never fix anything.
If your servers are having seizures you should stop flashing lights at them.
Just turn things around and it's much easier to understand. It's millihours per watt/volt.

Just for the record, barrels are a menace.

That could be the case. Everyone here seems to assumes "plastic = bad", you'd think nerds would know that 3D printers can use other plastics than ABS.
Make sure you watch their product review of the Rotato Express and the one about time travel.

You can't sit in a forest for a year without eating nothing. At some point, you're going to lie down instead of sitting.
On the upside, at some point you're going to stop using oxygen and later on you will become compost, so I guess that's good for the environment.
A shrink ray... honestly, that's just stupid.
He's going to print miniature versions of animals with his small army of 3D printers, of course.
It's not a like-or-hate choice. We might think the U.S.A. is arrogant and still count them as friendly.
