Palpatine's Theta-class shuttle has a class 1 hyperdrive, top notch military FTL, although somewhat slower than the Falcon. I don't have my ROTS:ICS with me at the moment, but doesn't Palpatine's shuttle only have a very short FTL range? That would mean that he would have had to use a larger (and p...

There's several cases of people inscepting motionless (or near motionless) bodies which suggest that infact it's possible to survive a blaster hit with right equipment even if you stay motionless after the hit (if that wasn't the case, there would no point in inscepting the bodies would there?) You...

I used to use a Nokia 6610 (not 6610i, which has a camera). But recently, I brought myself the O2 Xphone II Smartphone. A pretty good phone with a lot of nice features (even if it takes almost a minute to startup from complete power off) especially since I got it, a Motorola HS850 bluetooth headset,...

Actually, I just now thought of a way to resolve the paradoxes that comes from Zelda sending Link back in time. She might not actually be sending him back, but altering his local time, to make him young(er) again. -snip There are a few problems, however: -snip 2. There is also the little cutscene i...

That's elite shit, right? Pretty much. Powered/Shielded armor is pretty rare; Darktroopers, Republic Commandos, and Droidekas are the only military units I can remember who use them, each group quite elite (save perhaps the Droidekas, although field models don't seem to always have shielding.) Don'...

He claims he was smuggling the drugs to make money so he can pay off his brother's debt. Obviously he didn't think about the consequences for himself, and for the people who will end up using the drugs. The irony in this: Apparently, that particular debt racked up by his brother was for legal fees....

The fix is a direct response to the story being posted on many major tech sites. They probably wanted their asses covered before it hits a major news magazine or something.

Also note that the author mainly mentions the more developed areas. IIRC everything outside of these areas is shit. If rural Guangzhou (where most of my family on my dad's side lives) is any indication, things has definitely been improving quite significantly in the past decade or so. If nothing el...

Re: From cells to bells, 10 things the Chinese do better
Nor will we mention the exquisite, free head-and-shoulder massages that come with every shampoo and haircut. Hell yeah, I definitely missed that. Especially considering that it only cost about 35 yuan (about AUD$5~7) for a nice haircut and the head/shoulder/arm massage, even in cities. 1. Cellphone...

Praxis, you're forgetting the fact that the video/computer game market in Australia is completely retarded.
