In the Ten Commandments the word "not" is missing from the Seventh Commandment: "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

Yeah, that's what happens when you teach people to write as they speak (which is a thing at least here in German elementary schools...which is bloody stupid).

The Cannae Drive is (supposed to be) the Q-Thruster developed by the Cannae Drive company owned by one Guido Fetta. And maybe I'll believe the design works when I see a number of peer-reviewed papers that suggest it is so.

I love how the thrust measured in the Chinese experiments does not really increase with increased power input. It seems like, with the right configuration, the Em Drive could not only violate conservation of momentum but also conservation of energy. Interesting.

That's a bit more expensive than just hanging it up in a lab, though. But yeah, I'd totally watch that satellite crash and burn (up in the atmosphere).

This thing is a time machine, too? At least it doesn't look like a blue box.

A minute of google should tell you that Q-thruster and Cannae-drive are two names for the same thing.

I guess so (though I never actually have read it so I wouldn't know with any confidence).

Frodo and Sam reminded me a lot of Phileas Fogg and Passepartout - the former is the nominal hero, has all the cool stuff and gets much of the credit. And the latter does all the actual work, albeit somewhat clumsily (by being less worldly, educated and more impressionable than the nominal hero).

Wrong format, I think.

That's pretty brilliant.

Me, too.

One thing he did manage: The scene in which Q tries to analyze his computer made an entire agency look incompetent. You don't let unknown software near your network.

And wow, if she shoots like that, she's gonna knock herself over.

Plus his mastery of alliteration in his monologues is quite enjoyable.

Of course, in RotS he's set up to fail. Grievous, that is. But it's really sad to see him fail (and hastily flee) in every Clone Wars (CGI) cartoon where he appears, too. Only to show that the protagonist Jedi are better (but then, how could he have ever been a threat?). It would have been cool if he had been an

Oh come on, he never piloted that beast. Sure, he sat in there, but he didn't pilot it. And I really don't see how he could have ever been (meant as) a badass.

And in the end, he gets what he deserves when he lets himself be talked out of winning.

Aww, come on, Gimp isn't bad if you know how to use it. Sadly, I have no clue.

Yes. History proves it to be true. Usually the means to that end has been genocide.
