I pretty much agree. The cocktail lounge look of the bridge and councilor Troy were really a bad start and tough to recover from. I liked the harder edge I was seeing in the ocassional Voyager episode I tuned into but I didn't see the inventiveness that there was in the original series (cf the giant space ameoba or the gaseous vampire or a whole load of cool other stuff). That said, 7 of 9 (mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!)
In fact a prototype feline physics generator was built in the early sixties but the research was heavily supressed by the oil companies.
If I understand it correctly, the protoype functioned by fixing a large slice of thickly buttered toast to the back of the subject feline. The feline was then dropped from a height exceeding 1 meter over an expensive , non washable floor covering. The tendency of the feline to always land on its feet was counteracted by the tendency of the buttered toast to land buttered side down resulting in the combined mass of toast and feline hovering several feet aboved the ground spinning frantically. Tapping small amounts of usable power from the system was a trivial task.
The only issues preventing the rapid commercialisation of this technology (aside from the intervention of the evil oil barons) were problems with scalabilty. Indeed, early attempts to increase the quantity of extractable energy met with disaster when and entire research team was badly mauled by a large siberean tiger.
"and right now Mr Lucas has one of the best images out there."
What? You're kidding right? What reviews are you reading?
"Of course, I'm probably completely wrong"
You said it buddy.
Well, no more scratches, but I'd rather not be letting all that UV through to my own natural lens. I often fantisize that one of the few advantages of being shortsighted is that my UV opaque glasses will preserve my natural vision for longer.
This particular Old stayed at home because he could smell what a giant steaming pile of turd cake the first two movies were just by driving past the cinema. Rumours are that the latest one will be an improvement but it had better be... Lucas has a lot to make up for.
It is interesting. Looking at the profile where the liquid first starts to seperate from the surface it reminded me of a boundary layer forming. Perhaps it's liked to that initially, a step change then as the shock forms and the air becomes incompressible causing the fluid to break in the horizontal and all motion to be vertical. But what then causes it to kink back out again at the top of the vertical travel? Some sort of pressure effect perhaps.
The Swiss have the best form of government, warm sunny summers, cold snowy winters for skiing, and best of all, although cursed with Celine Dion from an early age they managed to come through this nicely and export her to some country with Sh1tty weather.
I can't understand what sort of remedy for monopolistic practices stripping WMP out of XP is. How on earth does the consumer benefit from this? If you want to stop MS being a monopoly then surely the only way is to split them into several companies all with rights to all current MS code.
Well I can understand it if that's what he's thinking. I'm a c++er and a look at the job pages quickly has me thinking that.NET is gaining ground all the time. The dilema is that to move into that field moves me away from where I currently am, able to stradle several technologies and not just MS stuff.

1.0.... Do you really think your software is release ready?

"possibly a firm conclusion" or indeed a firm slap followed by concussion
Another issue is that the resulting companies, in many countries were or are substantially state owned.

If I'm going to check if my tenants have been mowing the lawn I'll need at least monthly updates
But what if you're trying to play latest game on your home PC over ssh from work?
Surely you'd buy a g bit router and a g access point no?
Coatings springs to mind. There might be some application in coating surfaces to a high degree of tollerance.
