Could be a while, it's pretty late in the season.

Re: Hamas Attacks Israel

I'm saying that nothing Hamas did "provoked" Israel into committing genocide, and if Hamas were magically wiped off the map today Israel would gleefully go on bombing the shit out of Palestine anyway. I mean, yes. But that's like saying that if al-Qaeda were somehow wiped off the map in 2002 the US...

Re: For All Mankind

Things don't change much is always a plausible outcome, but who wants to read stories where nothing really changes? Like Ron Moore acknowledging that in the FAM timeline the Star Trek Phase II series actually happens and leads up to THE WRATH OF KHAN being the first movie, and by 2003 there's only ...

Re: "Researchers have developed a Very Big Disc™ that can store up to 200 terabytes of data..."

SO one of these discs could hold all of Star Trek? The bit-rate of 4K video is on the order of 50 megabits per second. If you had all of Star Trek recorded at that resolution (I guess you made an AI upscale or something?), and every episode was an hour long (big mistake, most star trek episodes are...

Re: What would you change about DS9

Ok so this is actually interesting if you look at the timeline: the TNG episode that established the problem that women couldn't rule without a proxy was Redemption part 1 which came out in June 1991. Undiscovered Country was released in December 1991, so the development obviously overlaps. Apparen...

Damn it, just read the full article. This is enterprise-level tech aiming to supplant tape backups. So, I hope you're fine with downloading those shows from the disc onto the player before watching them. Because the read/write speeds are too slow for streaming video. Still, innovation is innovation...

Is the morning after pill illegal in some parts of the USA?
