Wow! I my eyes literally started to tear up near the end. Thank you for sharing that

I typically don't follow politics for personal reasons but this really moved me when I saw it so I thought I would share.

Too bad it's only glitter; but it's still funny.



I want them to use the really really finely cut glitter. The stuff that's super hard to get off. :p

Episode 521 - Voyager - "Rise" - 02/26/1997

Voyager helps a planet with asteroid problems. Tuvok and Neelix crash-land on the planet and attempt to fix a maglev space elevator.

Enjoy!

As a Cruiser, your main missions is healing. I would suggest focusing you bridge officer abilities on that more.

First of all your Eng Commander ability should be Aux to Structural Integrity Field III. It's a small heal, just a few thousand points, with a short recharge, 15 secs when maxed out. It's a cruiser's BFF. For Sci, you might wanna throw in a Hazard Emitters, the highest level that you can.

That's all I got. :P Hopefully, someone else can give you more exact advice.

Hey guys,

I have never tried out outfit a ship that was primarily engineer in focus (all sci. vessels for me). I need some insight in how to best build a Galor.

Right now I have built it as follows:

-Universal Lt. boff: sci, tractor beam, science team 2
-Lt. cmd. tac: tac. team, high yield torp., attack pattern delta
-Cmd. eng.: eng. team, emerg. shields, reverse shields, eject warp plasma 3
-lt. eng.: emerg. weapons, aux. to stuctural
-ensign sci: polarize hull

fore weapons: 2xspiral wave disruptors, 1xdual disruptor beam, 1xquantum torp.
aft weapons: 2xspiral wave disruptors, 1xdisruptor beam array, 1xquantum torp.

engine: borg subtranswarp
shields: ageis covariant
deflector: ageis

eng. consoles: ablative hull armor, tetraburnium hull armor, sif generator, plasma distribution manifold
tac. consoles: 2xdisruptor coils (one is mk11 rare, one is mk11 uncommon), 1xzero point quantum chamber
sci. consoles: particle generator, field generator

all equipment is either uncommon, rare, or very rare mk11

Any help is appreciated :)

Episode 520 - Voyager - "Darkling" - 02/19/1997

The Doctor tries to graft other personalities into his program, but the resulting 'upgrade' causes him to develop an evil alternate personality.

Enjoy!

Empire only...because good is dumb!

I would be the overnight east coast Captain. I am completely nocturnal thanks to the US Navy :p

My playtimes are non-workdays (which rotate constantly) 2000 - 1030 EST on various days.

I will be the one there when there are like 1 or 2 members on.

SorenStarkiller set up an event page for this Sunday! Check it out here:

Stonewall Uprising is another really good documentary.

Quote by Woobies

Did you know that after the allies liberated the concentration camps, many of those who wore the pink triangle were imprisoned for another 15 to 20 years because homosexuality was against the law in Germany-even though the law that perpetuated their imprisonment was a Nazi law? There were no laws outlawing homosexuality in Germany prior to the Nazis and there was actually a very thriving and healthy gay community in Germany until the Nazis came to power.

Yes, some were still in prison until the late 60's.

Grats JJ on your new role in the guild!!

Lookin' forward to playing with you again soon

Episode 519 - Voyager - "Unity" - 02/12/1997

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=4317

Chakotay answers a call for help on a planet and finds himself in the middle of a shoot-out between two groups of people while the Voyager crew discover an abandoned Borg ship.

Enjoy!

So how do there laptops rate, been drooling over one for months

I agree the case is pretty nifty - but I very much doubt that even if you upgraded that system to the maximum options that it would stay cool. The space inside that thing is TINY, so even if you did upgrade the gfx card (which would have to be a small size I assume) or processor in a couple of years - would the case keep it cool enough?

Secondly the price is insane. I built my machine last year, the case is AWESOME (though it is a full tower) and the specs still thrash the pants of the top range X51, and it cost me in the region of £600. (not including screen and peripherals etc.) That's still £350 less than the X51, AND is more powerful.

I'd never done anything like it before, but I did my research, got a book and got building. After that I built Ali Mac his as well, and we're both very happy with 'em. Don't be pulled in by the case, after all it's not the case you're using it's what's inside it. look into building your own, it may not have one big warranty but so far I've had zero problems and it's almost a year old (and therefore out of warranty) anyway!

I build a system last christmas, which isnt too far off what they are offering now for around £300, around $475. But if something went wrong, I know I could deal with it and replace what went wrong. Although, I am looking at a nice alienware case on ebay :P hahahahah *has evil thoughs for his next system*

I've looked into building a computer myself before and it never really seemed worthwhile to me. First and foremost, I'd have to figure out which pieces were the best bang for my buck, figure out how to get it all to connect and then actually put it all together. If I screw up or break something, I'm out the dough. Or if something breaks later on, I have to figure out which part caused the problem and try to get the company to fix or replace it, if they will at all.

By buying directly from a manufacturer, I have a guaranteed warranty and only one person to redeem it from. I don't have to worry about accidentally breaking something and having to replace it myself. The limited options they're offering with the X51 probably means they're trying to mass produce it on such as scale that it'd be hard to build it myself cheaper.

And like Sparky said, the case would just not be as nice.

I like Alienware! But I can't justify paying the seriously over inflated price for them when I can build just as good a machine, with obviously not as nice a tower case for a fraction of the cost.

When I first read about this, I considered it and to be honest I'm still considering it. Like you, I've always wanted an Alienware and I love the idea that it'll just sit on my desk like a console.

While researching I did get thrown off the idea by a discussion on Overclockers which showed how you can built a better machine cheaper and it'd be easier to upgrade in the future.

But with Alienware's 2 year finance deals and the fact that this machine will easy last 2 years, I may yet be tempted myself. I think it's powerful enough to handle anything we would throw at it over the next 2 years but people smarter than me in that thread seem to think otherwise.
