Well, you can't really start at the beginning, because much of it is missing... but I'd recommend starting at the beginning of the 2005 series. I was a fan as far back as the early 80's, but my wife started watching the new series and she liked it right away... so I'd say watch the new series, and you can watch the old one as you like to fill in some of the back story.
There are occasional references to the original series in the new one, but they aren't really required viewing.
It's like rules 34/35, but slightly different.
So that's what I was wondering... this part:
Electronic flea markets and surplus stores are a nexus point of talented and interesting people. As they go, so does the opportunity to interact in person with the gurus of electronic development.
...seems to be a role now filled by maker spaces. When I went to the local mini maker faire earlier this year, there were plenty of talented and interesting people doing fun projects with electronics.
To see people dressed up as stormtroopers or jedi knights?
I'm pretty sure there are actual poop emojis.
The standard Unicode poop emoji is U+1F4A9
In most renderings I've seen it's actually smiling!
That's nuts! Sounds like they send you the entire game on every update? Maybe they need to look into binary diffs... or maybe that's post-diff, which is even crazier.
That episode freaked me out when I was a kid!
I suppose that depends on the players. World of Tanks is a F2P (aka freemium) game... I bet the majority of the 45 million players don't pay a cent. Do you want to pay extra to retain them? If they're a whale, it makes sense.. They could offer "priority downloads" to them, but I don't know.
I'm curious about that too... If I'm reading their pricing schedule correctly, S3 is generally $0.01 per 10000 GET requests...WoT claims to have 45 million regular players, that's $45 for the requests, so not too bad... but it's $0.01 per GB transferred... if we say each update is 500MB, that's roughly $225,000 for all of the players to update. I can see why they use BT.
Now I'm imagining the Nostromo painted brown with gold lettering...
Yeah, unless there's some sort of permanent space pirate installation in the asteroid belt, it'd be pretty easy to dole out enforcement once they get back (or to their sponsoring entities even before they get back)
You, sir, are no Spartacus...
What is the advantage of a Chromebook over, say, a tablet with a keyboard? I'm curious, as it sounds like the latter would cover your use case there... I don't use either so I don't know.
I feel like Futurama had the right idea with Nixon's head being president... just the wrong crazy old president.
