i can match you on that one, i was a professional photgrapher for years and you can imagine we have some pretty powerful flash guns so one day I decided in the middle of a job, to crimp a loose contact with my teeth. naturally the thing was on at the time and about 5cm from my retina when my tongue completed the contacts! It took about 3 days to wear off, i seriously thought I'ld done it that time blind for 3 hours in that eye and 3 days of a red filter! So i know what you mean, seriously scarey OH BTW Maverik it was Christmas business function on the Boat lol

Doesn't look look nielsen has been translated , I'm guessing Icelandic? maybe norwegian? (If he published in old icelandic I could make a stab at it lol)

just did :p

Well we've had the most popular poll, but how about an author most of us haven't heard of, Please, no "Simpsons Did It" posts if you know the author, just feel pleased you are more knowledgable than most of us. I'm kind of out of date and would like a few suggested reading titles, both old and new

What? like 101 things to do with Soylent Green?

I have a totally radical idea! Why don't we talk about science fiction books, films, tv series and concepts?

Just a daft little poll to test what peoples opinions of recent threads are I like a joke and general leg pulling but I think some threads are getting out of hand and wondered what others thought

Bored now

This is a science fiction site, not science FANTASY

I know what you mean, I'm not saying I'ld kick her out of bed! but, I'm highly suspicious of the chest and the lips. looks to me like the borg aren't the only ones with "enhancements"

Thats what I figured though I admit you could quibble about true north and magnetic north making it 2 points you could use The one mile north of the south pole theory is interesting, but the original questions says 1 mile EAST, you cant walk east from the sounth pole

Australia isn't a continent or an island, its a penal colony :p

my final 2 cents, I thought this was a science fiction forum I really dont care what you stick in whom, or what hole you use, i really DO NOT CARE!!! You can all go away and bugger sheep for all I care, so long as you keep uploading good SF Could we not please just agree to differ?

Aren't choices 1 and 3 the same thing? Unfortunately if we let nature take its course, human nature that is, we'll be organising lynch parties within a week, thats why we have police forces Discussion is fine but when it starts getting personal and in some cases downright nasty, the posts have to be policed

1 Gotta love non euclidean geometry :p (How dare schools teach the internal angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees!) BTW I suppose 2 could be correct if you used true and magnetic?

Yeah I know what you mean, I was almost shouting"oh PLEASE!" at the screen, and a man with a gun for christsake! Despite the implausability of the storyline, I'm quite warming to the T'Pol/Trip scenes, they are quite an amusing double act Not the greatest episode but not bad, and the idea of Orion women being in charge was a nice twist, though to be honest I should have seen it coming, if I'ld been paying more attention Unfortunately this wasn't an attention grabbing episode

A high post count? as everyone spams like crazy :rolleyes: maybe we should have a poll of the poll of the poll to see what everyone thinks?

I think on the job with the duras sisters would qualify?

I'ld have to choose Kira i think, I like women with attitude BTW I'm pretty certain Linda Parks (Hoshi( is actually Korean not chinese

oooh I know what you mean, damn! they are some fine games which I'ld forgotten about, got most of them somewhere, thanks very much for the memory jog, hell i feel a retro gaming session coming on lol

I feel a monty python sketch coming on

lol damn! I forgot the genesis emu, got about 1000 roms somewhere, thanks

I've just fixed up an old p2 300 laptop for a friends son, he's after a few games for it as well as using it for homework He's 11 and the machine only has 2.5mb of graphics, 64 mb RAM and a lousy little 4.5 gig HD I've put windows Me on :o(mainly because i couldn't find any of my many 98 disks, lol) Apart from doom 95 and Age of empires I can't remember any games that might run on such a low spec machine so any suggestions would be welcome, God knows I probably have them stored somewhere!
