I'm incredibly sorry to hear that he's passed away. He was always great fun to talk to and I was so happy when you and he got hitched LT.
I'm really glad to have known him.

Not surprising they want a 'quick' end to the sanctions, they are having a pretty damn huge impact on Iran now, as in 'economy is on the edge' impact. You get the feeling that this guy has been instructed in no uncertain terms to get them lifted ... but I can't see that happening without Iran making...

That Penguin was eyeing her again. She couldn't prove it, and she knew it was crazy to be concerned about what the damn bird did as it circled the surface of the hot spring making highly content sounds, being another species and all ... But she was almost sure it was trying to steal glances at her e...

This was not how she had envisioned her first combat assignment as the point Eva unit. Suspended above a Volcano, her Eva 'wearing' an incredibly cumbersome D-Type extreme environment suit ... and worst of all, she was stuck wearing this ... this thing. Her training had not included this 'Heat Resis...

There were some days that Professor Watanabe loved his job. And then there were days he hated it. Case in point, the time immediately after Second Impact. He did not really begrudge the fact that humanity needed to survivein those horrible years and so expertise such as his had became rather less in...

Well I've started writing this fic -or at least, PUBLISHING it again. I don't post on SDN much at all these days, but I thought if there WAS anyone here who might care, I should at least update this thread :) Apologies in advance for any formatting screwups, this text must have passed through a half...

Very heavy on thrings from the pilot when there was so much show to choose from. Still, it works. Personally I think it could have used the line from Gowron in season 5 right at the end; "Think of it. Five years ago no one had ever heard of Bajor or Deep Space 9. Now all our hopes rest here. W...

Not knowing the backstory for these stories is not dimming my enjoyment one bit. I assume that Lord Davion did not purge his army like that? and it suffered for it. As I recall, the AFFS at the time the Star League fell were not exactly the same level of crack troops of the 'future' Battletech time...

Thought I'd cross post this from SB because it makes me want a damn Blue Ray release of DS9 already ...

Nice, but I still don't get why Jinjiro didn't have at least a couple of Cruisers stay behind when he ordered the fleet to withdraw. Its not really a big sacrifice to loose two hulls like that, and they would have had plenty of time to vaporize the Rimmers on the ground with Ortillary and let Jinjir...

Your Primarch stuff is worth uncloaking for, as its as a rule downright better than the stuff GW writes. Two thumbs up! I actually started a similiar fic a long time ago that I never pubished or got far with, pre HH novels. About Khan and some Imperial Army General in command of the local armor unit...

Abbot has already declared it a 'brave and gutsy decision'. So how long before he turns around and promptly lambusts the Government for not having their people perform such 'brave and gutsy decisions!' for being accused but not proven caught red handed being Hitler or something, such is what I under...

Frankly, the Opposition have never seemed IMO to GET the fact that they were thrown out of Government in 2007. When they then didnt get back the next time around, but had a bunch of relativly conservative independents back Labour rather than them, this rage increased ten fold. So they will scream, r...

Thats actually a good question.

What is the legal process here exactly if they did claim they have serious dobuts and keep his name off the paper in this horrible excuse for an election system the US has?

I find that hillarious given that China has a very long history of playing various powers off against each other, right up to the modern day, for their own strategic interest.

Heh, I had a feeling he was going to pull a Padmé here. Although I also thought he was going to play along inside, then deal with them 'in the Rebel attack' while claiming to have never left his Star Destroyer.

Very cool.

RE Inquisitors, while its true that a lot of their power only exists so far as everyone THINKS it does, well, the same could be said for just about all the Imperiums institutions as well for that matter. The Inquisition also takes great pains, for the most part, to present a unified front to the 'ou...

Further on the movie, I think it worked exactly as it was supposed to work, a fun action superhero movie that only holds up if you don't think TOO closely about much of it. Which is exactly what should be happening with Superhero movies mind you. I do think that they could have trimmed down some of ...

Best bit HAS to be when Hulk smashed Loki through the window into Stark Tower. The dramatic music starts up, he stands up, an enraged look comes across his faceas if he is about to unleash all hell in an utter fury as he shouts "ENOUGH! I AM A GOD you dumb CREATURE, and I will NOT be bullied by...

But... news.com.au tells me that the Carbon tax is evil and will kill babies or something! You're telling me that the Murdoch press isn't being truthful??!!

But but...Corby is modestly hot! She can't be guilty, its the EVVIILLLL Indonesians, Woman's Day says so!* In all seriousness, this kind of stuff is a large reason why I would never be caught dead taking cheap holidays to SEA, not without a large group of level headed people who don't use drugs and ...

I don't think this is a plant, just a reprocessing center.

Which is not necessarily GOOD, but no active nuclear reaction makes this substantially less dangerous then an active reactor.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no sensor technology mounted on a platform that could detect the kind of subtle radiation given off by a nuclear missile that exists, at least beyond point blank 'we're already way in the fireball here!' range...

Um, ins't rule #1 around firearms to never point a loaded one at someone unless you are willing and probably needing to use it?

Just because I have not seen any thread on it. And the results are in...and it looks like a landslide in favour of the Redshirts and Thaksin Shinawatra. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/07/03/3259654.htm Three separate exit polls are showing a landslide victory to the red shirt-backed opposit...
