How do we know she didn't enter a secret code, what with all that button pushing?Boba Fett wrote:I am currently transporting a bounty that has been frozen in carbonite with a device you created. I have been told to direct any questions or comments I might have your way.
This is obviously a new technology, but might I suggest adding a few security measures to the transport device's control panel? Right now anyone can walk up to this thing and flip a few switches to release the frozen prisoner. I'm thinking a number pad with a secret code would be great, or heck, even a plain old key.
Come on, you know you lol'd.Stormtrooper Commander 09731 wrote:As you know, the E-11 has come a long way since its initial prototype. Thanks to your hard work over the past three years the rifle no longer fires completely sideways, and with your latest revision, the number of casualties resulting from blaster fire being directed completely backwards has been drastically reduced.
That said, the E-11 still has some accuracy issues. We recently bolted one of the rifles to a testing mechanism so that it couldn't move even a millimeter, then set up a human-sized target six feet in front of the blaster's barrel. Shooting in two second intervals, we let the E-11 fire at the target continuously for three days.
The result? Not one shot hit the target. I realize you're busy, but perhaps we can go over the design one more time and iron this out.
It did it automatically. :SAce Pace wrote:There is no need to edit the uRL if you add a +.

An uncovered shaft, however, is.

I wouldn't be surprised if Palps used it to chuck the occasional miscreant to his or her death.

This one tells me that the guy who wrote this article never had a job where he actually used a Trash compactor. The damn things are slow. I'm pretty sure there is actually a sound reason why this is so, probably something to do with rebound of a mass from a quick crush vs. a slow squeeze, but I don't know.Hey, kid. That trash compactor you designed is up and running and I've got to say it looks great. Lots of grime, a magnetically sealed hatch that can't be opened from the inside, a tentacled garbage creature that practically serves no purpose at all. It's got everything a salty old janitor could ever want.
One thing, though. It takes an awful long time to flatten garbage. I'm talking a minute or more, depending on how many flimsy poles I toss in there. If our capital ships can boogie at faster than light speeds, why can't we make a few walls slide toward one another at a speed that outpaces a Hutt's leisurely stroll?

Ah, but for Jabba, the work of art wasn't the pit but what he stuck inside of it.Stark wrote:Even Jabba had a cover on his Pit of Doom?
But Palpatine's has a reactor that generates more power than the sun in a thousand years... so I don't think that's a valid argument...Tanasinn wrote:Ah, but for Jabba, the work of art wasn't the pit but what he stuck inside of it.Stark wrote:Even Jabba had a cover on his Pit of Doom?
I still imagine that for the Death Star II, it's the getting to the reactor that's the point.General Schatten wrote:But Palpatine's has a reactor that generates more power than the sun in a thousand years... so I don't think that's a valid argument...Tanasinn wrote:Ah, but for Jabba, the work of art wasn't the pit but what he stuck inside of it.Stark wrote:Even Jabba had a cover on his Pit of Doom?

Probably because for a given power input, you'd maximize force (which is important for crushing) by reducing distance per second (err, I mean speed). So yeah, you're right about that. Then again, recall that in-universe that was written by a janitor, and the slow crush was what ultimately doomed the Empire by letting the future heroes of the Rebellion get awayQuadlok wrote:This one tells me that the guy who wrote this article never had a job where he actually used a Trash compactor.

The funniest one was the Boba Fett bit.
