I'll agree with the sniper, but the Captain could have already had a round chambered in the M1911, which would have left one after firing seven rounds. Possible, but unlikely. 8) Why would that be unlikely? If you carry an auto, it's the most common thing in the world to chamber a round and load up...

If they could do that, then they could re-materialize enemy weapons inside the enemies' bodies.

Uh, if you're calling me a CS guy, I'm not. I'm a bio major


I wasn't :p

Happy Hallowe'en

I want one of those new IBM chips that are 1.9e-9th the size of the face of a pencil eraser. Well, not just the chip. But a computer the size of a notebook that can do all that stuff and control my home entertainment and alarm, all at the same time. So I can have seti going and always be online and ...

Well, oh.

Argh, 3 pages of this stupid argument again? Look, now if this were a serious question, how would you answer: (this is a serious question, after all) What would you get to accomplish the following tasks as stably and as fast as possible? Mathematica, Matlab, SETI@home, word processing, CDs/DVDs, and...

Maybe it was marines, but the regular Mardet didn't handle the Stingers. It was a separate detachment.

Did Enigma require looking for primes?

I'm bad at this kind of thing, but don't NP-complete problems require exactly that?

You know what I mean. They're in the list together.

I forgot to mention the Army Stinger detachment that would be on a loaded-out BB. I also forgot, have you seen how flimsy those Harpoon racks are? I mean, they're solid enough... for a car. But some of these posts talking about the explosions cooking off missiles? What missiles? If a missile hit nea...

Sorry but I'm too lazy to attribute these quotes; I only want to add some stuff. Right. The ammo that is under the armored deck. Correct to a point, but small stocks of ready use ammunition are kept with the guns, and more would be brought up when the ship came under attack. Once they noticed the bi...

What's with all this "catch-all scanner" shit. I'd use a CT scanner if I had a patient who needed CT. MRI, or an x-ray machine if it was orthopedic or a barium enema. An ultrasound if the patient was a fetus. I'd use an explosimeter if I were mopping up a fire. Binoculars if I needed to se...

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Wong, I commend you on your patience. For my part, I shall now stoop to smoking a cig and drinking a beer.

What Star Trek needs is change . Different writers, different producers, different style, different paradigm. It's been running on autopilot for so long that the pilots are asleep in the cockpit and nobody's noticed that the goddamned thing is just about to run out of gas. For example, why not show...

Any modern army trains in hand-to-hand better than the Klings, so even if a Kling did get "on top" of, say, a marine (marine with a stick, marine with a bayonet, marine with bare hands, it doesn't matter. Marines know how to wrestle, and I've never seen any Klings move well enough to overc...

Once I had a CC welding teacher who was a total prick. He was really macho, but I think he was a repressed closet fag. <Seinfeld>Not that there's anything wrong with that!</S> But he used it like a weird weapon. I think much of his behavior was sexual harassment. Like, instead of saying "excuse...

2 Tonkinese, 2 "domestic shorthair" (read: mongrel) cats, and 1 Leonberger.

Want: children

Need: new windows and landscaping (both in progress), new plumbing.

Fears: that my next checkup will reveal something like cancer or ulcers or high cholesterol. That means bills, and those are scary.

I predict that computers will get faster. Oh, and also, CDs will morph into DVDs of videos so when you listen to them, you have something on the TV to look at other than a song list and play status.

#4 turret of Iowa would keep shorting out, making that turret useles... #4 turret? I take it this was one of the 5" mounts? :) 5" mounts were numbered 51, 53, 55 starboard, and 52, 54, 56 port. He must have meant #2, since that was the one that blowed up real purty on the Iowa. I'm gg to ...

I got an angry inch, and angry inch! Damn Shep. and here I thought you'd been in jail again. heh, heh, heh...... Hey, that was funny huh? I was proud of that cheap shot, heh. Seriously, Matt, I've been meaning to ask you this question ever since I read "A Glimpse of Hell", the book on the...

Goddamit, my gf is watching Fear and I can't stand movies where psychos terrorize and beat on chicks, so she's downstairs bec it's Mark Wahlberg, her ex, and I'm... in here. Suck ass.

I'm just glad I didn't have to spell out "CMIIW" to you. I really appreciate someone who can solve problems
