  1. What have you done to Kaftan, you evil doppleganger? CRTs do draw a lot of power, and they excrete a lot of waste heat and electromagnetic radiation (primarily directly behind the screen, projected in a straight line) so make sure you don't have anyone permanently situated behind the monitor ... unless it's your nephew. Maybe a bit of radiation therapy might do him some good.
  2. I guess all the answers to the questions you pose (that I had so effectively repressed from my viewing of the film) will be answered in the sequel ... :ninja10:
  3. Looks good. If you don't have a space/weight/power limitation, I can't see why people wouldn't consider a CRT. That's pretty cheap, and a good spec. Tell us what you think when it's plugged in.
  4. Actually, although there is a "Far Side of the Moon", there is no "Dark Side of the Moon". Interesting Freudian slip there: the wide spectrum of people ... that are spectres ..!
  5. Um, the Crab Nebula exploded a millennium ago and there is still debris ... there must have been a lot of monkeys with vacuum attachments ...
  6. Subjectively.
  7. I've finished almost all the reading material for two of my subjects, and I've started the third text book, Introduction to Astronomy ... lots of interesting stuff, like angular size (the Moon is about 30' = 30 arcmin, or 30 minutes of an arc (of one degree), which is the angel subtended at the eye of the observer by the diameter of the Moon). Here is a picture, from Apollo 16, of the far side of the Moon: Also, here is the South Pole, wherein there is ice in the regolith (the smooth soil-like ejecta that covers the surface), an estimated 1.5km
  8. Are all the fixes on the site going to be incorporated into the mod?
  9. My remaining PSone games: Tombraider.
  10. Well done to the two females who did all the work! When are you moving away from civilization so that all the dirty boys don't start pawing her ... There goes the population: explosion endorsed by astr0creep!
  11. So the elder god loses sanity for kilt-scrying?
  12. But revenue equals pr0ff1tts!!1!11eleven!
  13. That's philosophy (well, theology, actually): Aristotle's golden mean, which had an enormous impact on the development of the medieval Christian religion. (It is also part of Confucian knowledge, attributed to his grandson, Zizi.) But that is just titular nit-picking. There is a lot of material for analysis, that's for sure.
  14. One would have to consider ceilings for future upgrades of motherboard or RAM, as well as ensuring not purchasing something that is beyond the current motherboard's specification, to make a proper recommendation. Lots of work for budding advisors.
  15. I'd recommend a spell-checker.
  16. I second space monkeys. With super-augmented cranial implants.
  17. Doppio espresso.
  18. They tame black holes to use as power plants. It'll be some sneaky extortion play by the Daleks, whereby if they died, then the whole universe would be destroyed, and the only way to defeat them would be something that caused the Time Lords' doom.
  19. ... As long as it doesn't proselytize, Sand will leave it in peace.
  20. Ok. (But I was interested in the explanation of how a skeleton sees. You forgot to mention that they don't actually "see", they have some sort of magical sense: this is evidenced by the fact that blindness spells don't work on them.)
  21. Maybe the earlier ones are the rarer, smaller and feeble cousins of the traditional Duegar.
