I discovered Star Trek Continues after it was posted on Slashdot a couple of weeks ago. This series is now responsible for jump-starting my children's interest in Star Trek, so I rate it highly! :)

Excellent! It took me straight to The Black Hole game. Thanks!

Why does Betteridge get the credit for this? It's been a rule for a lot longer than he's been around.

Actualy the MacBook Air seems pretty tough. When I had epilepsy I entered fugue states; my wife told me how I threw this thing across a room once. Another time I kicked it really hard and it slid right under the door to safety. I have also rolled on top of it during convulsions. The only reason I have it at all is that it used to be hers, until water got spilled on it last year and it immediately died, so I got her another one. A year later we were moving, and I dug it out of the closet. I was about to throw it out but tested it one last time- it booted right up again! I guess it needed a couple months to dry out. So now we have two of them. My "real" computer is running Win 7 in the other room. I use this thing for what it was designed- posting crap on the Internet while sitting around on a couch surrounded by empty beer bottles.

Tyrell was a moron. He got so distracted by that chess game that he let a replicant get into his house and crush his eyeballs! It was 2019! Why didn't he have a security camera in his elevator?

More and more innocent people in the U.S. are innocent because they have spent billions on hiring lobbyists.

My wife used to be a public defender in Pittsburgh. She got shitcanned for winning too many cases.

That works for most people, since they're white.

I'm so sick of being told to fear terrorism. Even the damn 9/11 attacks amounted to only four average months of gun deaths in the U.S.

I have to park my mine-resistant armor protected vehicle hidden inside my garage. If I leave the door open, they'll drive past, see it, start salivating over it, and I end up with a SWAT team crashing through my doors and windows trying to find a bong.

Actually, the Voight-Kampff test seemed to work pretty well in Blade Runner, but I wouldn't want to administer it.

What's really shocking is that fully half the population has below-average intelligence!

You want me to go fight the Viet Cong? No Viet Cong ever called me nigger. You want me to kill Afghan and Iraqi Muslims? No Afghani or Iraqi ever spied on my private communications. My enemy is the American government, not "terrorists." You're my opposer when I want freedom. You're my opposer when I want justice. You won't even stand up for me in America for my privacy, and you want me to go somewhere and fight when you won't even stand up for my freedom at home.

I just watched it on my Roku3, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Hopefully it will get enough votes for Amazon to make the rest of the series.

Think of it as evolution in action. You can stay on one planet while some disaster takes it out. We have lots of choices of disaster, don't we? The human race can continue via those "space nutters".

Sure, we should try to avoid the disaster, etc., but planets are not forever.
