I can see how it would appear that way, given how lopsided the official numbers (from both sides) are.

Can't argue against that, George Lucas changes things around quite a bit. However, when you consider the age of the SW Universe (within the universe, not how long it's been around), the numbers do make a bit more sense. The Jedi were the guardians of the republic for either a thousand years or a thousand generations (George not keeping his units straight), and the galactic society being older than that. Contrast that with Trek, and you have a Federation that was in it's infancy in TOS and not much older by TNG, and no active space faring civilizations having more than a few hundred years in space. But all of that really isn't the point, because...

Almost. SW is the young hero's journey fable turned into a melodramatic redemption of a fallen hero, while ST is a mix of actual science fiction and social commentary. Both are wrapped up in science fiction setting, but that's really the only commonality. Comparing SW to ST in term of which ship can beat up which ship misses the deeper meaning of both (not that there's much deeper meaning in the prequels). Thus, the meaning of my last sentence in my original comment; it's better to compare the two on writing and story telling.

Take a look at http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/FiveMinutes.html and you'll realize that Slave-1, a bounty hunter's ship, could have made short work of the Enterprise-D. There really is no comparison between the two universes when it comes to ship to ship combat. The Federation wouldn't stand a chance against the Empire.

Comparing quality of writing and story telling, however, is a different argument. There's a lot more good Trek than there is good Star Wars.

I thought we were autonomous collective.

Which is a good tip, if you're lonely.

"Distance, in multiples of my height"

That clearly states that the unit of measurement is your height.

The unit of measurement you use for both height and distance is irrelevant, as long as they are the same. The final result will be in multiples of your height, which will effectively make your height the unit of measurement. For instance, I live about 40,000,000 inches from my birthplace and I'm 68 inches tall, which is roughly 588,235 multiples of my height from my birthplace - or 588,235 "my heights" from my birthplace.

And just to beat a dead horse; unless you live really close to your birthplace, the options don't give a very wide range.

At a guess, no - the information is not relevant as no infringement has been legally demonstrated, and thus an out of court settlement involving no admission of guilt or liability has no bearing on other cases.

Yeah, I did notice that. The page isn’t re-rendered, but the Flash objects are restarted. Minor annoyance, though.
