We can modify it by eliminating the coupled potential gravitational and electrostatic fields, but now you're just hurling mass out (a rocket) and hoping to run into another body with the right momentum (a net) to stop. That is more or less how Star Trek treats subspace. It even offers the beginning...

This isn't drafting publication for a new book. For all we know, it could just involve creating a text file and saying "for X amount of time, all Y material goes in Z category." Actually, Spanky is overstating how much work it would take. At this point, all the work it takes to create the...

I'm going with the raider turns out to be real, and rescued her, probably after she ejected without Lee noticing.

That was the best moment in the episode, IMHO.

That's like saying that a Corvette isn't a GM product, it's a Chevrolet. Islam and Christianity have the same roots. Yeah, that was a bit of nitpicking, which it wasn't intended to be. I only realized that it was a nitpick after I posted it. That brings up an interesting point though, are there any...

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out later, due to the stock market being in chaos I have a "first year resident"-like schedule. In any case, the original point (that Zeus was not portrayed as an icon or symbol of morality) is unchanged. The idea that one's god or gods must somehow repre...

Another thing is, the greenhouse gases that we're emitting are melting things like frozen solid carbon monoxide deposits WTF? Carbon monoxide freezes at -205 Celsius. How many solid carbon monoxide deposits could there possibly be on Earth? In fact, I doubt you could find a single example of anybod...

Do you care to provide some proof for that statement? Zeus was neither omniscient nor omnipotent after all.

he eventually admitted that it was wrong to punish Prometheus for giving fire to Man and released him. He did? The way I remember the tale Heracles freed Prometheus as part of his labors, Zeus had nothing to do with it, other than fathering Heracles in the first place. Of course, I may be rememberi...

You'll notice that all those times he was up against a foe of equal or greater; when we see him up against the normal people, he literally could've killed them in the blink of an eye. That's true, and in fact if you reread my orignal reply, you'll see that I agree. Neverthless, this is what I was r...

Sorry if these questions have been answered discussed earlier, but since the thread has the rare distinction of being its own spoiler, I have skipped it in its entirety. 1.) There is a triangle with an ant on each vertex. Hence, three ants each on a vertex. Each ant is about to traverse on the edge ...

Note to self: Refrain from commenting on things when my only knowledge of them is what I've read on a forum (I didn't see the preview).

Apologies all.

Couldn't she just have survived? Her gunshot wasn't of the "obviously instantly fatal" variety.

KrauserKrauser wrote:Well, he obviously lives, Peter still has to find him so he can try and blow up New York.

Oh, I know. I just hate Radioactive Man's character.

Almost as much as I hate Canada.

I'll agree with that one. Gandalf was always the awesome wizard that could kill everyone in the blink of an eye and just decided not too. WTF? Excluding The Hobbit , in which Gandalf was basically fucking about, Gandalf was never in a situation where he was just toying with his opponents. He faced ...

Damn, Mr. Bennet is a bad ass, although I suppose my Americanness makes being able to think in a foreign language more impressive.

And yeah, Matt should just flat out kill Nuclear Man, he's obviously a threat to everyone around him.

Damn you Canada. Damn you straight to hell.

So, are you guys going to get the episodes early on a regular basis, or was this a one time exception? It makes a big difference to my spoiler avoidance skills.

God damn, Adama is a hard mother fucker. Where are those damn Cylons?

I for one think it would be quite funny if the Cylons attacked en masse right the fuck now.

They're more willing to kill others because those teachings are allowed to flourish. I agree. All I'm saying is, these people exist today. Further, these people are willing to kill you (or your enforcers) if you outlaw these beliefs. That makes the implemenation of your proposal impractical, which ...

My plan would be to construct a mental health act that penalises any organisation, church, mosque, whatever, with unhealthy antisocial teachings and actually inspires social division and mental problems. Well, obviously, this isn't practical. If Iraq has taught us anything, it has taught us that pe...

Poor Mr. Bennet. Beaten by both Petrelli brothers in the same way, and one of them is the father of his daughter.

Stan Lee in the opening credits? Could it be the Stan Lee? That would be cooler than cool (or maybe lame, we'll see how it plays out).

Since nobody's started it.

And woah, apparently the Haitian's power causes some side effects, or there is something else going on.

Ah-ha! They have cats, or some cat equivalent, in the colonies. (Apologies if this has been revealed earlier).
