    The one thing I really would like is to be able to undock windows in the game, and move them to another monitor, like could be done in FSX.

    But what about all those things we thought about that we couldn't type in a family friendly forum? Things involving hungry fire ants and orifices and the like?

    Mods: If the link in the following post is not permissible here, please remove it. I have no vested interest or financial consideration involved, just thinking this might be something that might appeal to writers I got this message today from a company with whom I've done business before. They released a new course called Science Fiction as Philosophy. It has a series of 24 lectures by a university professor touching on, well, philosophical discussions of popular science fiction, including Star Trek, The Matrix, Westworld, Dr. Who and a bunch more. Copying and pasting just a touch: ...throughout the lectures of Sci-Phi, you will ponder many questions that have concerned philosophers for centuries, including: Do humans truly have free will? Could machines one day be conscious? Or be sentient? Could we actually be living in a simulated world? How will humanity confront a future of diminished resources and advancing technology? Are science and religion compatible? When, if ever, is war justified? How do we know what information to trust and what to dismiss? I know not everyone's in a position to be able to fork over cash for stuff like this, but I'm sharing it as possibly it may be of assistance to some aspiring writers.

    You may be too young to remember 'Clippy', Microsoft's oh so rarely helpful assistant in Microsoft Office. I'll not waste more of Kuzzter's space here, but just Google Clippy and you'll soon learn how pretty much universally reviled it was.

    He used a tool to intimidate, if not injure or kill another creature. Like a monkey grabbing a bone and using it as a club on an animal it's going to eat, or on another monkey, this bridge has now been crossed and can't be uncrossed. Has he now become the monster from which he was trying to save his crewmates? Will they ever be able to look at him, or themselves, the same way again?

    Squad, Thank you for finally shutting up and taking my money!

    Emiko and crew are near some warm water. Her tacos are missing. Jim lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida... I'm betting it was this guy:

    Getting them off the ground the first time isn't the problem. Can you get it back off the ground for a 2nd flight without a lot of re-assembly required?

    Do they have to be ex-wives first?

    Gonna go all grammar cop here... Platypus is a word of Greek origin, not Latin. (from Greek platypous flat-footed, from platys broad, flat + pous foot) The correct pluralization is Platypodes. However, being a fairly novel plural form, it is seldom used; the plurals platypuses, platypus, or, more rarely, platypi are more common. It should be noted that some use the plural form platypi under the impression that platypus is a masculine Latin second declension noun, which it is not. Thus, in English, the word "platypi" is incorrect. In scientific circles, platypoda is sometimes used as well. Another example is Octopus, from the Greek Octo (eight) + pous (foot). But, most dictionaries have caved to pressure from the vast Platypuses conspiracy and list that as the most common usage. Now back to this most excellent adventure... Which, as we are being led to believe, is soon to contain a plurality of platypodes!

    Just got a chance to sit down. Also glad to hear people are OK.

    You had to eat Subway? My heart (and stomach and taste buds) aches for you. The devastation wrought by this storm is just too much to bear. We need to get you some real food, pronto.

    The sad reality is that he should be picking your brain to learn how to tell stories. Stories are more than car chases and explosions. Unless it's a story about car chases and explosions. Michael Bay has told that story way too many times in film.
  15. Torgo
    Michael Bay was in Florida?

    Shirley, no one expects that.

    And what kind of impact is that going to have on the not-so-evil Kenlie? Is experiencing the death of his counterpart going to drive him into some deep space madness, or will it free him to lead a 'normal' life?

    Everyone is so focused on landing the Enterprise, but my guess is it's not meant to land again, at least intact. We've seen how many characters fared on the Kerbiashi Maru simulator, but never Admiral Shirley. She also seems to think Val is the Next Generation and is ready for Val's own greatness. I can foresee a scenario where Admiral Shirley, when things are looking very bleak for our heroes, makes a heroic sacrifice that involves the destruction of the Enterprise to bring about an end to hostilities. The Kerbulans have taken out some Kerbfleet buildings. I bet the Enterprise can take out a few, too. There seem to be enough Glidos around to take the rest of the crew home safely, at least for now. Just my guess.
  20. Torgo
    They don't need to. They took the hit, which means it's now safer for the Glidos to go to work. One of those missiles would likely have killed a Glido.

    So why isn't the captain 'entertaining' that green alien girl? Or would the alien girls be really be human colored here?
  22. Torgo
    It would be if it was a Latin word, like hippopotamus (plural hippopotami). Stupid ancient people and all their weird language quirks... I can only shudder to think what people 2,500 years from now will think about us... assuming there are still people 2,500 years from now. Now back to the story!
  23. Torgo
    Platypus is of Greek origin, so the appropriate pluralization is Platypodes

    Is it less dangerous, or more dangerous, to poke the author if you live with him?

    Catapults, you say? So, the epic battle is going to go down something like this?
