It illustrates the illogical nature of desire. The implication is that once something is either had or becomes more accessible, it becomes less alluring.
The viewfinder is below and off to the right of your major line of sight. It doesn't obstruct your vision, and most of the time you're going to be concentrating on building out your own lines anyway until you get down to the end of the game when everyone will be riding very slowly so as to avoid each other's trails.
Dude, come on. There was that one episode with the ghost or whatever on that planet where her grandmother lived, and it turned your show-mom into a complete horndog who lived to unf the ghost.
She was SERIOUSLY hot in that one. Or was that just the magic of TV?
That's the other thing. They clearly have gravity generation technology. Gravity generation is more or less the holy grail of space travel - you can use it for sublight propulsion, environmental gravity, and supraluminal propulsion.
I just don't think stupid people are capable of gleaning the details that Joss puts in to bring people who haven't been watching up to speed in the middle.
I'm no genius, but why is it that I figured out what was going on in Buffy within two episodes of starting to watch the show?
is that they record using MPEG-2 for compression instead of DV, which makes frame-by-frame editing a dicey proposition - have to convert back and forth.
would have made a lot more sense if he lived in a dorm (apparently he doesn't). I considered doing something like this at Fordham when I desperately wanted air conditioning but the fuckers at Res Life wouldn't let us install it. At that point I didn't care about efficiency, I just wanted my room cool in a way that got around Res Life's "no air conditioner plugged into our electrical system" rules.
if this study points to why I keep finding myself attracted to Jewish girls. (Disclaimer: Poster is not Jewish) Maybe they ARE just smarter on average, and possibly there are other qualities they have that attractive to me. They seem to all share a similarly self-deprecating/silly sense of humor that's enormously appealing to me as well.
I just wish I could stop getting the "Oh... nevermind." response when they ask my friends, "Hey, he's cute! Is he Jewish?"
I need to just convert and get it over with already.
(Incidentally, if you are cute, female, Jewish and reading this, feel free to reply to this comment with affirmation of aforementioned attributes.::cough::)
I am TERRIBLE at puzzles. It may be the frustration factor or my subconscious' going "this is pointless, why bother, this is pointless" in the back of my head while I try them. I think I can fairly say, however, that I am somewhere around "excellent to truly badass" at other kinds of reasoning. And yet, an IQ test would probably test me poorly.
Why is copyright a sacred cow? Does anyone REALLY think people would stop creating content without it? Was it really necessary for Sonny Bono and the Senator From Disney to extend copyright ad infinitum et nauseum so that Mickey Mouse could be protected?

4. Add a serial port and you might even have a fun little toy for packet.
:D
Good call! Instant packet-to-802.11 bridge!

The funny thing is that spoiling it will hardly prevent anyone from buying the book.

The system is self-regulating.

Furthermore, you can't CRASH into COMPUTER-GENERATED GPS tracking lines.
Moron.
What are the benefits of a system with no social mobility and no room for individual brilliance?
I noticed you said "Community."
Are you guys kind of like Mormons in the sense of closely-knit community, but with a less insane theology?
Yes, you do.
(All of us straight males and lesbians, anyway.)

Actually, this was one of the few problems I had with Firefly: Joss's complete lack of knowledge about the practical realities of space travel.
He has *claimed* in an interview that there is no FTL in this universe and the entire series takes place in one "really really big" star system.
I'm sorry.
No.
That's just. Not. Possible.
I don't care how much terraforming you do, the band of habitability is just *not* that big.
I have a feeling he's going to have to go back on it when faced with the inconsistencies this is going to build up.
I would say the whole subplot revolving around the doctor's sister is patently sci-fi, wouldn't you?
I honestly think it comes down to intelligence.
I just don't think stupid people are capable of gleaning the details that Joss puts in to bring people who haven't been watching up to speed in the middle.

But I've heard either Mal or Wash die.
If it's true, I need to stab Joss in the eye.

What if the costs of both production and energy are reduced to zero?

This should win "geekiest comment of the year." Bravo, monsieur.

Don't you mean... frosty piss?

Why did you join?
Mickey Mouse should have entered the public domain in 1935.
Hey, you know what?
Fuck copyright.
How's that?
Christ.

Fuck copyright.
Get rid of it.
