Also, Dihydrogen Monoxide. And Carbon. Carbon emissions are bad, right? CARBON IS EVEN IN YOUR FOOD.

I hate all these fan theories about this crap. It's basically fan fiction, in that it's uninteresting to me and everyone in every possible way.

I don't recall Hercules and Xena having massive budgets:

This. Exactly this. I know I've said it multiple times since the movie came out, and I'm sure Rob Bricken has probably screamed it repeatedly: Superman's greatest power is his unswerving devotion to his ideals. Even more than Batman, he's determined not to end life. Any life.

Same here. Sure, you can argue that he's killed in the comics, or allowed others to die in certain stories, but that doesn't make it right. Those writers did a disservice to the character and to the readers by doing that. At his core, that's not what the character is about.

Looking at that Superman post makes me angry at Man of Steel all over again. Because the Superman I know, the one I grew up with, the on I believe still exists would have moved the fight with Zod and his cronies as far away from populated centres as possible because otherwise the Superman that we are left with is

When everyone begins veiwing tipping for what it truly is (business owners shirking their responsibility), tipping should go away quickly*.

It's a lot easier to hack a Twitter account than to actually hack CENTCOM. Has anyone checked those downloads? Not planning on doing that myself. Aside from the possible legal jeopardy I would not put it past ISIS to sneak annoying malware like the Ask toolbar in their downloads.

especially since it's 7" wide

Yes, let's blame the increased obesity rates that have been such an epidemic since the late 1600s.

Carrot juice is delicious. Beer not so much.

Summary:

In my opinion, pets (and potentially kids) are the only valid reason for deviating from the proper orientation.

Why is this even a question! Of course they have technology to manipulate inertia. The Picard Maneuver accelerates a ship from zero to 200 million kilometers per second to zero virtually instantaneously. Without some way to compensate for the acceleration, everybody in the ship would be a thin red paste on the

About the first part of your comment: it's not just the combat drama, but staging in general that would make the presence of seatbelts a boring addition to the series. Imagine if, rather than tugging on his tunic each time Picard stood, he merely unbuckled a seatbelt? Think of all the times the crew stand and sit

I presume that hormonal replacement drugs would negate the "positive effects" of castration, since it's the hormones that are causing problems in this scenario.

nope, tried it again with my win8 laptop. Sucked. Went back to using other browsers.

yeah, but it's got Tom Cruise in it. That alone is probably ~90% of the reason I didn't go see this movie.

if you have the money- good fer you. My 12 year old, $90 Hoover does a damned good job with 3 kids, 2 dogs, 4 cats and whatever all the aforementioned drag through the house. I ain't so much getting what you pay for- it's getting what you can afford without compromising your standards.
