Scotland essentially subsidizes England by about 4%, or in other words, Scotland doesn't need England for anything (and really, never has).

Hentai is like, that Chinese thing with the squid, right?

Goddamn it furries...

Top page image is now my desktop background.

Thats just a Chimera Tank from Fallout 3 without the laser gun on top.

That episode always, every time, prompts me to get down and hug my 17 year old collie and weep.

I thought about Kodos, but he was more of an inept administrator who screwed up and made a bad judgment call, then spent the next two decades on the run. In TOS he apparently runs into him again, but iirc it's never truly confirmed that it was actually Kodos, he just LOOKED exactly like the mass murderer. Plus even…

I'm somewhat addicted to swapping ROMs on my Galaxy Sii, but have noticed a few things along the way.

Fuck quicktime, fuck apple.

Nice to see furries documented without focusing on the fetishes associated with them. Most of them are just in it for the fun of it after all, and all the ones in those photos are clearly having a great time for the camera!

Have a rummage on Baen.com, virtually everything on there is worth a read and there is loads of good stuff in the free library, including a few of the aforementioned (and HIGHLY worthwhile) Honor Harrington books - think Hornblower in space and you'll have a vague idea of what's in those.

Well, it was a sea creature first (all creatures with a backbone started in the sea), then a land critter, then a sea critter, and now it's, um. Semi aquatic? They can live quite well out of water but they prefer being in it.

My thought was that yes, rough, primitive gunpowder will not be anywhere near as good as modern stuff, but they could reload shotgun shells, and probably any .50cal they had. The standard rifles etc wouldn't be salvageable for long - too many delicate parts, however, dismounting the barrels and building simpler bolt…

I've not seen the story or the reddit thing for this but reminds me of http://www.baenebooks.com/p-267-march-upcountry.aspx <- Space marines march across half an alien world populated by spear and sword wielding natives. And kick arse, needless to say.

Did I spot a Cylon in there? Edit: No, i didn't. Vaguely cylonesque humanoid bot cut to a KITT sweep which confused me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolo_%28tank%29 <- Bolos. Giant robotic tanks that not only defend humanity against bad guys, but are a futuristic epitome of King Arthur's knights. Brave, loyal, honorable. Bolos can be killed or destroyed, but never beaten.

GLaDoS? Srsly? I mean, 10/10 for epic computer voice, but OMFG lets hope they switched out the pleasure response from 'experiment' to 'exterminate alien monsters'.

OH MY GOD YES THIS!

I thought it might be a later revision or refit of the NX-01 'class' ie: same 'hullshape' but updated warp technology (hence the odd shaped nacelles) etc.

Starfleet home fleet ship maybe? Wasn't one of the earlier spoilers about how Starfleet is being blown away and all that's left is the Enterprise and Kirk to save the day? Could this be part of the 'blowing away' of the Sol defense fleet then? (Since presumably Starfleet isn't daft enough to send ALL their ships out…
