I suspected (I still don’t have that interface) that the colored squares would be gradually replaced by the linked page’s image, but having the link’s page image is only very marginally useful, can waste bandwith and CPU keeping said images updated, and (in my view) only adds to the clutter.

“[1908] At exactly 9:32 AM in the morning Plus Ultra launched explorers into the other world. At exactly 12:47 PM, they tried to bring them back the only way they knew how… by tearing a hole in the sky. The Columbiad, which had taken the explorers, returned home with seconds to spare.”

I don’t have the new interface yet, but I will disable it as soon as I see that I have it. What purpose can have a big colored rectangle for each bookmark, besides wasting space? Even if it shows a thumbnail of the page it points to, then it only becomes useless and cluttered.

I think that in a couple of centuries it will be hard to believe that men once thought that there was life only on planet Earth, kind of like we now see that once men thought that everything was made from earth, air, fire and water.

The top row should also be darker towards the right, and the speed and sensitivity rows should be lighter towards the right.

There are plenty of terrestrial networks spanning North America. Why choose a route through a radically de-populated area and a completely inhospitable environment?

I had a vision when I read "remulans"...

Partially agree. On one hand, those galactic sized plotholes are true to the point of ridicule. On the other hand, ST can use new fans, even if that mean atracting dumb teenagers... and perhaps un-dumbing some, maybe a lot of them. And it is undeniable that new fans means new money.

Now I have a "Tom Sawyer" earworm. Where the hell are my LPs?

Aaand... now I have to watch "Scorpion" again. BTW, I think Janeway should have tried to make an alliance with the 8472, not with the borg. At the end they kind of did, though.

I believe that in physics (at least in quantum physics) it is considered close to be at one order of magnitude from the real value, so "close" would have been from 12 to 1200 GeV. Not intuitive... but that's quantum physics for you.

This is mine (a bit sheldoncooperish, I admit). The original is in spanish, my native language:

Coke and milk, you say?

In my family we often drink Coke (or Pepsi) with a spoonful of condensed milk. Does not turn clear nor precipitate, but looks like latte, foam and all.

No video, just a message: "Sorry, but you are not authorised to use this object."

Oh crap. As an 70-80's geek I was sad enough reading the article and then I read "Radio Shack 150-In-One Electronic Project Kit". Still have somewhere some components from that.

Enterprise was REAL, things broke and were not repaired with replicated hyper-neutron-tachyon-ionizers (with the polarity reversed). The ship has that "can be built" look (in contrast with the "TV prop" look of the others), and most of the plots felt like real situations of a crew in a new frontier.

I would not only keep the home button (and their "back" and "menu" companions), but ADD a couple of extra buttons!

I ha just finished reading that book, and that's the first thing I thought while reading this article! Even went to the maps in the first pages of the book to see if Isidis planitiae was near the way from Ares 3 to Ares 4 (it's not)

Time travel [stories] are cheaper to produce, but also harder to think and do "right"... and regrettably it sems that Holliwood has more money than brains.
