I hate Macs, but I hate Windows even more!
DOWN WITH MICROSOFT!!!
(Unfortunately, I have to use Windows, because this isn't my computer.)
OK, one thing that Windows can do that Linux can't:

Ummm... AE, I can't get the link to work. It might just be me (AOHell issues this week)--can anyone else get it to?

I think we should develop better radiation shielding, better stuff to do in transit--and go for it!

Hale-Bopp. I was in an airplane when I saw it, flying over the Pacific to Hawaii--it was REALLY great, even though pretty much everyone in the plane was crawling over me (I was in the window seat, and I've never been a large person) to see it.

This stuff is really good--I got it to work after about half an hour, which is no small feat with my lack of technical skills.
Why it's useful:
1) Writing fanfic--you can see what stars are close to each other and how--in 3D
2) Helps with stargazing
3) It's really, really fun!
The download takes awhile, but it's worth it. Just be sure you unzip the downloads in the same folder!

LOL at the vulcan-ish vulcan. I hate T'pol.

Yeah, I think that was "Relativity". Good episode.
I think I'd like to be Janeway in any episode... although I would have loosened up a little too.

I'm always in off-topic stuff, although I will poke my head in elsewhere...
I'm mostly here because I can babble about anything SF and people won't go 'geek' and ignore me. And because people who like SF do seem predisposed towards THINKING...

LOL, why I wanted the names...
Thanks, everyone!!!

OK, I can't remember the names of two episodes, and I'm not sure about the name of a third. Coincidentally, they all involce Dr. Crusher. Help? And does anyone know what seasons?
1) The episode where Dr. Crusher finds out that her family has been having relations with this green energy-thing. She tries to retire, and I remember her eyes turning green. Picard suspects that something's wrong.
2) The one where Picard and Crusher are kidnapped and become telepathic.
3) I think the name's "Remember", but I'm really not sure... the one where Dr. Crusher gets trapped in a warp bubble and people start vanishing from the Enterprise.
I know these are stupid questions, but is anyone willing to help me out?
Thanks!

Hypocritical?
No, just a Trekkie!

I voted Picard, of course.
A note on Rachel Garret: we only see her in what, 1 episode? How can you really get an estimate of a character from that? (Yes, we do see that she wants to return to duty... but so would practically everyone else)
A note on Jellico: Votes for Jellico? Eek.

I'm most active on the Kitchen Table (Anne McCaffrey fan site w/some other stuff going on), then here. I used to post on scifi.com, but not anymore. I also run a mythology forum. Other sites I visit include www.bpoi.org (related to the KT) and a writing forum.

Even though I have a wonderful family and wonderful friends I sometimes feel like I would give it all up just to be born say, in 200 years..I'm rather fond of our wacky timeframe, but... I'd love to be reincarnated in a few thousand years, or reincarnated a few thousand years ago! Or on a fantasy world... you get it. I'd like to travel.
As for when we'll make it... changes happen in leaps and bounds. Who knows when the next will be?
Meanwhile, there's always scifi and fantasy.
As for Revelations: Christians have been saying it'd be soon since the religion began. No sign of it yet. There's no reason not to say 'it'll all happen in the distant future' if you believe, and meanwhile get on with your life. If you don't believe, then don't bother saying it will happen at all. Either way, religion should add to life... but not interfere with what we can accomplish.

JAG or Navy NCIS?
(I actually saw the pilot for NCIS being filmed in DC... it was really annoying because my friend and I turned a corner on a path and walked right into the middle of the set. We were humming something really loudly; the director was annoyed)

Coffee or tea?

The Enterprise Incident.
Turkeys or eagles?

Sorry if I confused anyone...It's OK. The natural state of a Trekkie is confusion.

The killing Game.
Emeralds or diamonds?
-
Janeway.
Kes or Sisko?

Vive la syncretism

I made it to Commander pretty quickly, and then had to vanish for a month or two. I'm back now.
It's normal enough. You're among fellow geeks.
