Good God man, some of us are trying to have breakfast!

In all but the last two, there's a direct parental relationship between the protagonist and the "victim" for lack of a better word, and for 17 it's an uncle/niece relationship.

It's a better fit if you think about the topic as being the parent's emotional experience. Charles Horman isn't getting rescued, for example. Chalk it up to a poor article title. "It sucks to be a parent" might have been better.

There are probably more nauseating phrases than "Brit Hume, porn star" but I can't think of one at the moment.

To avoid the murdering, just make sure the Good/Evil switch is not set to Evil. RTFM.

Only if you spend it on government-designed brain-washing porn.

It sounds like a crazy plan, but if we each find an Apple I in our garages, it just might work.

You can easily steal from DS9 scripts without much change:

The only way to get CBS to move on this is to change the title to Police Captain Worf. Procedural or GTFO.

Analog doesn't just mean old-timey. It's a particular type of control like a dial or wheel or slider or control stick, where the state of the system is altered in analogy with the continuum of movement of the control*. Buttons, keyboards, LED displays are quintessentially digital, so many of these examples don't even…

I miss the days when Superman stood for Truth, Justice, and "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service".
