The whole programming team got to see it on company time, on the companies nickel. I work for a good company, and have a GREAT manager. I told him I had to take the afternoon off, for "Religious Reasons", while pointing to a pic of the Enterprise in my cube. He sent the whole team, and paid.
SPOILER TIME:
Uhura is HOT, and almost gets nekkid, while my namesake hides under a bed (he was banging her roommate, a green chick, natch).
MANY decent fist fights, pretty good ship to ship fights, Vulcan turns into a sphincter in space (Uranus?). New Spock, Spock Classic, Peg is very funny, the new Bones will make you do a double take, LOTS of funny stuff and everybody gets to speak at least some of their classic lines.
I have to agree with Rob, the time travel WORKS this time. It lets JJ play and not piss us fanatics off.
So, get your asses out of Mom's basement and go see it NOW, cupcake!

I am seeing it in 50 minutes. Why am I, like a dumbass, even looking at this thread? I managed to close my eyes and post. Thank Dog for tuoch tpying@
There are approximately two dozen Democratic Senators that are more conservative that that former RINO. Specter would not have voted to maintain a filibuster, ever. Frankly, I am pleased he has "come out of the closet". He was only a "Republican" to get elected, anyway. Also, the only reason he did change parties was the fact he would probably get his ass handed to him in the next primary.
George Bush did many dumb things. Backing Specter in his last primary was among the dumbest. Specter promptly turned around and knifed Bush in the back, and continued to do so.
You know, contrary to the liberal hype, firearms are NOT that difficult to use properly. US Army basic training includes an grand total of three weeks basic rifle marksmanship. Frankly, I could take a willing subject and teach them the basics in an afternoon. Every ship should have some crewmen cross trained in firearms usage. Weapons lockers should be on each ship, with locks and seals when in port. If a port city or country refused to allow such secured firearms, ships would simply no longer stop there. That would last, oh, a day before they changed their minds.
A firearm is simply a tool. The function of a hammer is to drive a nail. The function of a rifle is to send a projectile down range at a high rate of speed. Or, as the SEAL's recently showed, to rapidly empty the cranial cavities of pirates.
Firearms are not "evil", no more than a hammer is "evil". A hammer, properly handled, can drive a nail, or crack a skull. A rifle, properly handled, can do the same.
Seriously, you think they want a bunch of heavy users as customers--when they lose money on each one of them?
As soon as Granny figures out she can get her soaps anytime, we ALL will be "heavy users". Streaming video, in any acceptable resolution, is a resource HOG.
I always just have Mr. Scott handle the warp drive. He does the impossible instantly, miracles take longer. When Spock lends a hand, hours can seem like days...
Never had that happen, but did work at a place that would hand you your check on Friday, and then say, "Don't cash that until Tuesday". I would cash it that day at lunch. Luckily, they never bounced, which a LOT of their checks to vendors did. Most places in the city would only take cash from them.
My last day there, I just left a letter on my bosses desk and walked out. I never gave them a chance to try any shit, which they probably would have. My boss was OK, but the rest of the management, all the way up to the owner, were tools. My boss, who had put up with their crap for years, quit a couple of weeks later.
Not too bad. The Russians actually test fired the 23mm cannon in space. They did it remotely, with no cosmonauts on board, in case it vibrated the station apart. It didn't.
The US astronauts found out the MOL project was canceled by hearing it on the radio.
Actually, it is more like one of those building implosions. It starts slow, then...
The RIAA is getting hit more and more lately. More judges are finding against them. More people fighting back. More states and schools refusing to play along. 2008 may be the year they give it up.

Oh, give Rob a break.
It can be hard to type with a boner. Especially if you are holding on to it...
Well OK, I guess.
So far, all my lines that have been turned into sigs have referenced testicles or high explosives, but go for it.

When dealing with any *AA, you really can't go wrong assuming the worst.
Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!
No mod points today, sorry.

"Feel free to go ahead and remove that wad from your panties now"
I would LOVE to put a wad in her panties...
Wait.
I should say something "trekkie", right?
ONLY if she was an Orion Slave Girl, OK?
THEN, I would love to put a wad in...
(Damn, when the frakk is 05/08 going to GET HERE!?!?!)

They aren't held "incommunicado". They have access to landlines, but the access is tightly controlled and monitored.
We are talking CRIMINALS here. CONVICTED criminals. They do illegal stuff for a living. And, they don't tend to be "nice".
I watched it last night on Nova.

Here are some more wackos to put on your enemies list:

They "serve" customers, alright. As in, "To Serve Man".
I made a desktop pole for work. A piece off an old wind chime and a chunk of wood.
We get a lot of questions about it.
Their whole house of cards is coming down.

Maybe.
Fucking Republicans! ...oh, wait. Never mind...
Hey now. Inside voices, please.
BB is the one taking it up the ass with a red hot poker now.
Which they richly deserve.
I did. I had to go with the "lesser" of two eee-vils, though: AT&T.
Hey, when this topic came up last time, wasn't there mention of the fact that this "spoofing" was violating a federal law?
These tend to be people who will pay more for used items than the item costs new. So, yeah.
Nah, just stick it up on YouTube.
Sony is Eee-vil.
