So, have I been lurking too long? This image wasn't about the Cosby typo. Does anyone here remember who Alex Afrasiabi was? I've gotta think that people on a forum named "firesofheaven.org" would know who that is. Related terrible quality pic.

Those look like scenes from Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan

I enjoyed that episode, and was pleasantly surprised at how they used it to advance other storylines.

You're right. Never noticed that before. Not surprising since I couldn't find a shot where they clearly showed the designator on the ship itself, but this shot makes it pretty clear.

Not sure where they got their model from, but the first one (the Excelsior) is NX-2000, not NCC-2000.

That's a picture of Neptune.

Of course they will. At the last company I worked at 3 years ago, they said the exact same thing to all the employees (major multinational investment bank) at the beginning of the year. In April, on the exact day I told my boss I was giving him 2 weeks notice and he and my management chain...

As the father of a 2 1/2 year old, yeah I know all about front vs. rear facing. In this case, I was just adding (probably unnecessary) detail to explain how I could know there was a young kid in the car when I was driving behind her - the main point is "the dumb woman is talking on her cell...

I'm driving on a mall road today, and I see a car ahead of me weaving into my lane. I can see it's a woman talking on her cell phone - to boot, there's a rear facing baby seat in the back, occupied by a toddler. Cop pulls into the road in front of me - holy fuck, a cop when you actually want...

I am also a former Navy nuke, and I also had a 99 on the ASVAB, as well as acing the "nuke" test (they give you an 80 question exam before allowing you to enlist into the nuke program - or at least they did, my information is from 20 years ago). A lot that has already been said is true -...

They (finally) did. The new ports are slowly making their way into electronics. USB Type-C - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are the tits real? Hard to conclusively say from the quality of the photos, but there's a few key attributes that suggest implants. Nice body though.

When you're at a checkup with your doctor and he says "As men get older, they start to experience...", and realize that what he's saying applies to you.

Unless, you know, they're pushing them through to graduate, giving passing grades when they aren't deserved. No, that never happens... Or stated another way, graduation rates are just as poor metrics as application rates. I could counter-retort that the number of women working/succeeding in...

That's interesting you blame IT for this. There's only 2 reasons IT implements anything: 1) They were told to by some non-IT person who controls things, 2) They got blamed for something by some non-IT person who controls things or spoke to someone who does. All that bureaucracy that you're...

Ellen Pao was just a victim of trolls, as she says in herWaPo Op-Ed. (She seems to be a victim an awful lot) Good thing we have people like her around to lead the way and confront the trolls for the betterment of the Internetz! Oh, and yes, "cleaning up of Reddit" is coming so Reddit can make...

So, did Seimone die?

So, since she was intoxicated and therefore unable to give consent, the boys raped her then, right? Isn't that how that works? I'm still fuzzy on the logic, so just checking to make sure I understand. Unrelated:

People definitely need to get over a woman breastfeeding - they aren't showing off or trying to offend or make a statement, they're just trying to keep the kid from screaming, which everyone should be happy about. Regarding Itzena's post - think Dr. Suess, and slur your speech a bit. Pic...

Those 3 consoles in the back of the first image are actually control consoles for an old (really old) submarine reactor plant. I have no idea why there's a computer description subheading - they were purely analog control panels. The one on the left with the "steering wheels" is the...

Out of curiosity, why DO you think there are far fewer women programmers than men?

Mist - genuinely curious: Since you expend some time considering situations that you believe may put you at risk, such as where you park, do you also expend more time thinking about how to protect yourself from the male members of your family and close friends since statistically speaking...

Agreed - the "non-trivial" comment was addressing the contention that a simple tan call would solve it, when it's a bit more complicated than that (but not much more, just using the law of cosines since they were kind enough to give all 3 sides).

It's not a right triangle: 64 + 256 != 289. This is non-trivial to answer. http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/b...section9.rhtml

Mega-company I've been working at for half a decade decides "we're stupidly profitable, but we still think our costs are too high, so we're going to cut everything to the bone". As part of this cost cutting, at the beginning of the year when bonuses and raises are announced, the company says...
