Riker is hospitalized during a botched pre-first contact mission. Xenophobia results in increasing hostility toward his presence.

I love the highly complex economic and crafting aspects of EVE, but the rampant piracy, loose everything when you die aspects drove me away from the game.

That's why I left. I lost three Battleships in two days due to server lag and was done with it. Loosing ships is such a pain in the *ss cause you have to spend a couple hours buying a new one, buying all the parts and refitting it.

The re-spawning ships is one of the really nice things about STO, although, not the frequency at which they die.

This sort of major policy decision doesn't get made on the spur of the moment. There were obviously quiet discussions going on for some months in advance at Justice and the White House. The political sequencing is telling: the Administration pursued repeal of DADT first, then dropped the hammer on DOMA. The repeal of DADT was arguably easier and (somewhat) less contentious than the repeal of DOMA. Once DADT fell, the Administration no longer had any reason to pay lip service to DOMA. Indeed, the repeal of DADT has substantially weakened DOMA. Had they pursued DOMA first or both DOMA and DADT simultaneously, it's very likely that the outcome would have been a setback. It appears to me that all the while that Obama was being bashed over his apparent weakness on DADT and DOMA, he was playing his cards close to his chest. Once gays can serve openly in the military, how will gay servicemembers be told that they can't marry? This is why Republicans have so strenuously resisted repealing DADT. And now the President has outfoxed them.
