I think it would be so cool if aliens intercepted the old Star Trek broadcasts and thought they were real historical events. They could use these historical documents to duplicate the ship and technology and come here and meet us.

This was way before WWW and graphical internet. It was while reading on usenet that I heard about a service that just started called America Online, and…

What if you put a trampoline at the bottom of the cliff? Would you miss it because of the rotation of the moon? How high would you go if you did hit it? Do you have to wear a cape and red underwear over your blue leotards? So many questions, so few answers.

How many people here had their basements set up as their own personal lair when they were younger? My buddies and I were very much like the gang on 'That 70's Show'. Good times!

Space elevator? Or at least a space escalator. C'mon people! Hop to it.

No love for Stardock's software? Because it's not free?

Whoa! Jesus. You need to take a chill pill bro. Actually, this may be a perfect entry for White Whine.
