the dilithium crystals stabalize the warp matrix, the whole rig is powered by a reaction of deuterium and antideuterium that takes place in the warp core and that power is then sent to the warp coils through the em relays, thats at least close to how it 'works', someone wanna tell me if thas SB or not, man, i'm a nerd
we started this in wisconsin not too long ago, they started advertising an 800 number you could call to get you name put on the do not call list, unfortunately they chose a used listed number to proceed the 800 number, that family got hundreds of calls from people wanting on the list who didn't dial the 1800, Here's the Article
my hats off to you, this is probably the most insightful thing i've ever read about punk rock
dont make too much fun of my sig, punks get dumped, they write whiny songs and yell about it, its funny
firefly is great, period
btw, thanks for the info, i wasn't exactly sure of what language they lapse into sometimes, i thought it was something oriental, but i wasn't sure
i think sci fi could redeem istelf from its lack of orginal programming by maybe showing reruns of good sci fi shows that got canned, i'm thinking earth 2, space above and beyond, sliders, hell, even seaquest(please reply with other good suggestion). they could show like 2 episodes of a series at 7, an episode of their defunct original programming at 9, farscape, sg-1, lexx, MST3K, then maybe give john a spot after prime time. theres so much more they could show besides crossing over and horror movies, which IMO are not SCI-fi at all, they could show old eps of unsolved mysteries and stuff like that, any other ideas about what they could do for non original programming thats good and actually is sci-fi?
i think a star destroyer would definitly kick the enterprises ass (still not sure about an x-wing vs a fedaration fighter), but i still think this is pretty damn funny
Top 10 Reasons why
The Enterprise-D would defeat a Star Destroyer
From - Cole BozmanM
10 - Stupid Imperial commanders mistake the Enterprise for an Imperial freighter.
09 - Vader uses Turbolaser power to charge his batteries.
08 - TIE Fighter pilot sneezes inside his helmet, crashes into Star Destroyer's bridge by mistake.
07 - Data beats the Star Destroyer's main computer at 3-D Chess.
06 - Geordi lets loose with a 30 minute stream of Technobabble, Star Destroyer spontaneously combusts.
05 - Enterprise crew beams over Wesley. Crew doesn't stand a chance.
04 - Wedge appears suddenly and the Star Destroyer high-tails it out of there.
03 - Jean-Luc gives a long speech about ethics, Star Destroyer crew dies of boredom.
02 - Star Destroyer fires at Enterprise, Helm explodes. Enterprise fires back, Star Destroyer partially damaged. Repeat 100 times
01 - Two words: Picard Maneuver!
i think number 2 is probably all that would happen
i remember someone insightfully stating from the firefly poll that firefly is science-fantasy, not science fiction, in science fantasy the technology is there, its a given, with no explanation and no technobabble, the exact oposite fo star trek
for their credit, they did have a real gun on an episode of star trek ds9 (the best series), the episode "Field of Fire" was on in syndication here in milwaukee thursday night, in the episode theres this crazy vulcan sniper with a gun that could transport its bullets, kinda a funny coincidence that that episode would come up in order on the day they caught the sniper(s)
its based on the movie and theres a lot of continuity between the episodes and its mostly based on hard science, for things they cant explain they make up simple solutions without a lot of technobabble, just about every episode the team visits a new planet, and every planet is pretty much like some period in the earths history, sorry if that sounds cynical, i really do like the show, anyways... it was originally on showtime, i dunno for how long but showtime dropped it and sci-fi picked it up, its syndicated, i dont know much about that, but watching it on saturday afternoons before we got cable got me hooked
Anyone else head about this? Apparantly theres some new saturday morning cartoon called StargateInfinity, i just got the first ep off kazza, but i havn't been bored enough to watch it cuz the quality is shite. Speaking of shitty quality anyone else seen the pilot for firefly? Why didn't they air that!?!??
I don't know if i'm the only one, but has anyone else who doesn't filter their e-mail noticed a drop off in the amount of spam they recieve? For about the past 2 weeks, the amount of spam in my hotmail inbox has dropped from about 40 to around 15 a day. Anyone else had something similar to this happen?
no, i was just saying that we do have an example of what happens when you lose several thousand consumers in one fell swoop, and the aftermathof such an event, not a whole lot happened after bhopal, i dont feel like researching much, but i'm willing to bet the only changes were stricter regulations on plants like that, after the 9/11 attacks our entire country changed(not for the better)

XTC is also a kickass energy drink
they did, they made a rifle for use within a damening field, it was in DS9 - Field of Fire, also, scroll down a post
i got a dvd player with divx when dvd first came out, what a ripoff...

The characters are extremely shallow and rather juvinile. The writing is poor. well, it is a saturday morning kids show, we cant expect too much
its based on the movie and theres a lot of continuity between the episodes and its mostly based on hard science, for things they cant explain they make up simple solutions without a lot of technobabble, just about every episode the team visits a new planet, and every planet is pretty much like some period in the earths history, sorry if that sounds cynical, i really do like the show, anyways... it was originally on showtime, i dunno for how long but showtime dropped it and sci-fi picked it up, its syndicated, i dont know much about that, but watching it on saturday afternoons before we got cable got me hooked
