  1. Ques on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 1

    I enjoyed all Star Trek. Its a good insigt to all the engineers out there. People dreamed of "cell phones", "automated doors", "transporters" in the 60s. In their view these would be inventions of the 23nd century. It ended u being our spoils during the 80's. During the movies, Enterprise B had that first voice regonition hardware, a spoil of 90's. The examples are many. Such insight leads to actual technology. The "use" of sci-fi. Heck, Stephan Hawkings enjoys the show (and actualy had taken a very short role playing poker against Newton and Einstein). Fast developement of technology in the last 2 centuries is often attributed to sci-fi noves/movies/tv serries. Of course its all fake else JPL people wouldn't be scratching their heads. I enjoy the insparation, while Enterprise was not my favorite I enjoyed the serries, several of my floor mates didint like it at first and now like it. I say give the show another try, and to experience special effrcts dont be close-minded. The financial support is how some fans attempt to keep their show. People dont sell their houses for the show but instead they pay 5$ to enjoy a show for another season. 5$ per a season isnt too bad.

  2. Re:more servers.. on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 1

    Best practice is to have several servers around the world. 1 on California, 1 on New York, 1 on centeral europe, 1 on japan or some other far eastern country. Why not Korea? Koreans have too much bandwidth for my taste...

  3. Re:Flaws in Wikipedia on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 1

    Well, thats bad but whats worse is contriverisal arguments like we have on religion, abortion, "freedom fighters" and all the other "good" stuff. As both parties believe they are right. It ends up painful. Some topics should be locked.

  4. Power overwhelming... on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 1

    I am suprised their servers are so fragile. A UPS/Surge protector aside from generators can do wonders... I thought they had some kick ass backup power... Although wikipedia seems to be back, rather slow but better than none.
