"Dead or alive, you're coming with me" - Robocop

Of course, that video won't play north of the 49th. But with that clue, I was able to find the movie and a trailer that plays here. Looks interesting While researching Mr. Manley, I discovered he also consulted for Anne McCaffrey on a Pern novel. Also, "In recognition for his work as a popular science communicator, asteroid 33434 Scottmanley was named after him.[13"

Had to be done...

Dang. (Bang boom clang crunch)

If you want to call it by its official name of STS, the full system is a rocket. And I agree, it was a big, beautiful, bird with capabilities unmatched before or since. It had its flaws, but it was an experimental vehicle thrust into operational status. I grew up on it. It was flying for the majority of my life.

Hmmm... ghost writers?

Had to chuckle...

And why would it be stuck in your head for three days? Been researching haunted houses?

More teasing....

Bah. I ain't afraid of no ghost. For anyone else not seeing that, here's the music video...

Ah yes, the classic "The uploader has not made this video available in your country" by the ever-popular group, "Video Unavailable"

LOL. But the memes it spawned will live forever! They for it freed sooner than I expected. But given the impact it was having, I’m sure all the King’s horses and all the King’s men were there by now...

Apparently it did merit its own thread...

Curious to know who else actually recognizes these guys... ?

*performs another arcane necromancy ritual* (hopefully it lives a little longer this time...) I did this incomplete kerbalization over two years ago now. It just won't leave my head, so I decided it's time to finish it. Now I'm going to try and submit it to Weird Al Yankovic to see if he will make it. I just don't have the time or equipment to do it justice (but I think I have the ability if I had the first two). Plus he has the star power to cut through any licensing BS. I think anything that encourages interest in the STEM fields is worth a shot. E: Just went to weirdal.com and read the FAQs... Ah well. But I need to find a way to make this into a proper parody video.

Orbital tower rebar cage and forms going up,,,

That sounds misguided to me... sorry, couldn't resist given your username

When do they change the name from EVER GIVEN to EVER STUCK?

This debate sorta reminds me of...

I just had to post a Roy Schneider meme...

My teenage son has gotten his learner's drivers license. Lord save us all....

So Mikes Computer's figured it out, nailing it down to the to RAM channel B being dead. I could have figured that out myself and saved $35 if I had thought to try a single stick of RAM in each RAM slot. But hey, it works with the full 16GB of RAM, just in single-channel mode. Not sure how much of a performance hit that really makes, especially since it's running on integrated graphics for now. Now just waiting for the RMA to get authorized...
