    Prepare yourselves, something is coming!

    I'm very curious now, when do we find out what this is about.

    Gaming Laptop - buy now or wait?

    I'm looking for a gaming laptop. Budget around £1,500, which will just about let me get a 980m, but there's not a lot of leeway in there. The Laptop would be an early birthday present (birthday's in June) so I'm wondering if it's worth waiting until June to see what prices are like then...

    Star Trek: Enterprise

    b5 > tng > tos > voy > ent > ds9 A lot of it for me comes down to time travel, and how it's been getting worse as we go. In TOS there were a few time travel incidents but they were handled fairly well for the most part. The rest of TOS was enjoyable. In TNG there was hardly any time...

    Did CERN just break physics?

    I had trouble figuring out how FTL equals time travel, until someone told me the following. A good way to envision it is as follows: Alice and Bob are to have a duel at 8 paces. They stand back to back, then each stride forth. This being a physics thing, they stride forth at a sizeable...

    The Budget™ 2009

    I think people have lost sight of what Taxes represent, particularly in these modern times. Go back just 150 years or so and there was no welfare state, there was no NHS. There was no income tax. People paid for the services that they used, directly. This did mean that the poorer folks...
