We had to chop down trees using the bones sticking out of our chopped off hands and lay out logs in the shapes of letters, randomly over and over again until we had reproduced the complete works of Shakespeare with improvements to no fewer than seven soliloquies. And we had to do this in no more than six picoseconds or we wouldn't get our heads sewn back on in time for dinner which consisted of wet kleenex that had rotted away three weeks before.
Leaving people high and dry. Guess what, Apple? Many people don't have network connections like the workers on your campus do. They can't just transfer or e-mail around their stuff.

If only...there was a physically exact copy of Data, and if only that copy had had Data's memories and personality loaded into it just before Data's death.
If only that had happened, but it didn't, so Data is dead forever. Unless time travel! Or Q!

Entirely. If they're going to do action in Star Trek, have a healthy Enterprise slam the sh** out of some bad guy. Don't waste time with driving some high school autoshop projects over sand dunes on the back lot and shove it in our faces as "exciting".
It seemed like they were a colony of Romulans from the talk, but when you saw them, they appeared to be a local slave race (which also doesn't make sense because life wouldn't evolve on a world that had the same side facing the sun all the time.)

For god's sake, a simple "ion storm" stops transportation easily enough. How damned hard can it be to pump a few petawatts into a tritanium Van de Graff generator?
Not mentioning (or worring!) that the signal might have been Lore is unforgivable. Hell, it wasn't until over halfway thru the movie that I finally convinced myself it wasn't a Lore trick.
Lal died of a positronic neural network "cascade failure". Sob, now, along with Data and Lal's persecutor as Data's hands move like the wind to save Lal.
Damnit! I forgot to add Rand to my list of hot regulars. She's at #3 just below Seven and Hoshi.

Oh for Christ's sake. Before I left the theater, I had figured out how they were going to resurrect Spock. Data is pure child's play.
Hmmm...if only there were a perfect physical copy of Data around, and if only Data's complete personality and memories had been loaded into it only days before he died.

Squadronmate Tom Paris: Damn, Wes! Your mom is one hot piece of ass. I would pound the holy hell out of her for hours on end.
Wes: Shut up!
Tom: I'm talkin' about burying a diamond class erection to the hilt inside old Big Red!
Wes: Shut up you ass!
Tom: I mean, what more could you want out of life? Is she a natural redhead, if you know what I mean?
Wes: Shut up now!

I took my son to see it, he was (at 12) old enough to finally appreciate a new movie.
The best he could say was, "Well, the buggy fight was kind of cool."
In my opinion, there just wasn't enough "cosmic" level story line. The other hope, human interaction, was rather silly with this Picard clone.
What did that leave? Action? Bah, I'd rather pay $8.75 to see the thirty second falling-down-the-bottomless-pit fight with Gandalf and the Balroc than I would all the Star Trek movies together going back to, but not including, Kahn.
You've gotta admit: that was some damned exciting 30 seconds (of flamer vs. flamer.)
It's mass to wind resistance ration that makes terminal velocity. That rock is pretty light, and is poc marked, so will have even greater drag than a smooth rock.
I'll bet it wasn't even going 100 mph, maybe 50 or so. If you threw it forward out the window of a car speeding on the highway, it would probably decellerate a lot faster than 9.8 m/s/s.

Yes, this cloying, childlike, tired joke is so damned original. Gosh, you're clever!
And if Saddam won? Sorry, but the modern day "useful idiots" would be the first executed under his regime.

I'm not inclined. Why?
They went to the trouble to build a separate page for Opera -- then never tested it? Hmmmm...could be...but I don't think so.

Liklihood of "accident"? Not too great, I'm sure.

Leaving people high and dry. Guess what, Apple? Many people don't have network connections like the workers on your campus do. They can't just transfer or e-mail around their stuff.
That's what data recovery companies are for. You'll probably be able to extract data from a 5 1/4 floppy in the year 2525.

Like I'm gonna burn a goddamned CD just to bring a Word file back and forth to work.
"Oh!" says the Dell guy, "You can use a USB memory pen for only 12x the cost of a floppy [b]drive[b]."
Buttheads!
But the Andorian told T'pol that the Vulcans were running a spy operation when the other damn I'd love to lick Hoshi's big lips.

With half-mile battlecruisers in orbit, starting out with a dune buggy battle fit for Waterworld or the original Mad Max wasn't cosmic enuf for you?

I'll believe that as soon as Alien 2 acknowledges Heinlein for Starship Troopers.
