My brother went to a gallery and sent me a picture of this masterpiece.

Many captchas actually have a secondary purpose - using human pattern detection abilities to decipher the parts of scanned texts (old books, etc) that the software cannot understand by themselves.

With that in mind, I very much prefer the captcha instead of playing some (probably) annoying minigame every time you need to enter something to an online form.

Ah, good point.

I'm not sure I understand the picture (aside from it probably being from Stargate Atlantis), but if you mean to say that it bothers you when, after building the bad guys up to real threat level, the good guys blow their ship to smithereens with a single salvo or shot, then yes - that bothers me as well.

The space battles in a lot of scifi shows follow an easily predictable pattern where the protagonists almost always win without even seeming to try, sometimes spicing the scenes up with blinky red lights and people losing their balance on the bridge. This is bullshit; if the baddies are talked up to be dangerous, then it should be seen on the screen as well. One-on-one dogfight? OK, the good guys' ship may come out relatively unscathed. Two or three to one? Screw that, if they don't have to run for the escape pods in the middle of the fight, then the best they should hope for is to drift away as a crippled wreck. But that would mean that the ship would have to be repaired and stuff before the next space battle, doesn't it?

I read it a long time ago, but from what I remember, the Hawking Drive was a generic FTL (now that I think about it, was it really ftl, or sublight?) contraption that was not elaborated on. Travel with a hawking drive resulted in time dilation - as the ship approached (and exceeded) the speed of light, the time for passengers slowed down, while the rest of the galaxy continued in the normal timestream. Once the ships dropped out of FTL, time again passed at the same rate, but the years that had elapsed in transit meant that compared to the travellers, the rest of the galaxy aged very rapidly.

I don't remeber anything particular about these Local and Standard times, but I assume they're tied to the official Hegemony time, with the Local being planet-specific.

Now, if only the rest of the visitors would also do the same thing...that would show those stupid sign-posting-people!

I didn't really love them, but I found the two Dungeons and Dragons movies to be fun - bad acting, cliched script and terrible special effects notwithstanding.

It seems they haven't answered single question. I'm actually surprised the most topvoted comment does not express anger over this...

Hmm, kui 200-300 kirja on palju, siis ma kujutan ette, et enamasti tegutsevad nad õndsas vaikuses. Ja kui kirjade kogus läheb liiga suureks, siis nad nähtavasti eiravad neid, sest siis on tegu maniakkide või häkkeritega. Oh jah.

Väga asjalik sait. Ei ole selle kohta kusagilt infot leidnud, aga ehk keegi teab - kui palju Eestis parlamendisaadikutele üldse kirjutatakse?

This may be irrelevant, but as far as I understand, the victim of file theft, which online sharing unquestionably is, should be the owner of the file. Does the warning verbatim then mean that all files that were available through RnBXclusive were the property of their respective artists?

Also, the suggested legal alternative seems rather meager.
