Nah, Voyager was far-and-away the worst of the Trek series.
STTOS > STTNG > STDS9 > Enterprise > Voyager
The thing about DS9 that made it great (IMHO) were the very long story arcs. Epic wars, lots going on, stuff from earlier seasons becoming important later. Kind of Babylon 5-ish.
I am aware TOS and TNG were the opposite of long-story-arc, but the casts kicked so much ass I don't care.
Who in their right mind would buy gold right now? It recently passed the $1300 mark and may climb higher, but historical trends indicate that it is in a major spiking period.
The same kind of people who bought houses in Las Vegas in 2006?
"Honey, we can't possibly lose, the house will triple in value in 10 years!" lol
If they use the same one, it would be sort of like finding that your extraterrestial radio transmission was encoded in ASCII.
As you implied with your hitchhiker comment, Mars is a stone's throw away from Earth, literally. I'm willing to bet that any "native" life we find on Mars will share a common root with Earth life, although their most recent common ancestor may have been, oh, 4 billion years ago.
Either that or life (of some kind) is damned near ubiquitous in the universe.
Never in my life have I needed to weld something. When does this kind of thing come up, other than in keeping ancient cars or other "I'll be damned if I'm going to buy a new one, even though the amount of time I put into fixing this thing isn't worth it" objects from falling apart?
Not really true. They can always find *someone* who is ready and willing, but that is a far cry from having any man they desire. Once you get to know a girl or two, you'll probably realize they have to work at it a bit too, and it all evens out in the end.
I'm 30+ and married with kids, and this is 100% untrue. During my dating years, ALL effort was put forward by the males. ALL.
I do this, but not on the highway. Most (big) highways in the US are divided and the median is quite wide; I don't think a driver going the other way would notice.
I DO do this on local streets though, all the time. When people are getting pulled over for doing 30 in a 35 that should really be a 45, that pisses me off. Quick flash o' the brights to let em know what's ahead.
not true. you bought the medium, (record, printed paper), but even back in the "good ol days", you did not purchase the right to the actual content.
It's in the eye of the beholder. No normal person ever thought that was true (did you think that before the Betamax case, or before *IAA started up their shenanigans?), so it has become ingrained in our culture that when you buy a record, you OWN the music on it. Just because something is "legally" true doesn't make it reality.
Don't you know anal and oral sex are illegal in all kinds of places? I'm sure people respect/understand/know about those laws....or not.
My X-Rays were delayed once because a virus got into the radiology systems. The images came on CD with handy DLLs which I would not have touched even if I used windows.
Another reason to NEVER use Windows for anything even remotely important.

DS9 was the worst Star Trek tangent ever.

I guess you either live somewhere that's warm all the year round or you heat your rooms 24 hours a day.
You don't heat your home to a reasonable level 24/7? I'd hardly call 5C reasonable.

No offense intended; I'm curious.

There are no brakes. Seriously, they're not needed.
Funny, my pirated/cracked version doesn't have that limitation...
That's why many Christians disagree with infant baptism.
Yeah, so instead they brainwash their children from birth to believe sky fairies, *then* ask them if they want to be baptized.
Such a choice they give their youth...

Willful ignorance is what conservatives do best!
Regress, regress, regress! Knowledge must die!
That, or he's worried about being confused with the guy with the canticle...
+1 amazing sci-fi reference. :)
he wants to paint the whole Tea Party movement with the brush of a few fringe members
The tea party is composed of pretty much ALL fringe members. Otherwise they'd be Republicans.
Here's another study that shows more disparity that you'd think in the intelligence area.
Spoiler - Liberals, atheists, and people who stick to one sexual partner are smarter. I think we all knew that already, though. :)
Somebody mod this guy interesting.

That ain't a wallet. This is a wallet...
Does it say "BAD MOTHERFUCKER" on it?

You didn't finish... where's the link to Kevin Bacon?
here :)
Yep. Halo was supposed to be a Mac title.
Oh Leather Goddess of Phobos, how I miss thee.
One of my favorite quotes (not sure where from):
"Christians deny the existence of all gods but one. Atheists simply take it one god further."
Because they affect the rest of us sane, non-fairy-tale believing folks.
And they vote. That's reason enough to attempt to ridicule them out of existence.
Are those those funny discs people buy instead of downloading MKVs?
I lust for the day when every piece of media I have can be played from a single device. I suspect it'll never happen.
Um, I bought a Mac Mini in 2006 that does exactly that.
