    Where to find lighter-plug-in powered car speakers

    Okay, I gotta ask why and what is her car's make and model (please include year). She could always get one of those iPod-docking boomboxes.

    Starship Enterprise

    One can only pray that JJ Abrams would inject some cerebral story elements as he did with his previous works. Without it, it would just be a base brain-free ripoff of SW.

    New Star Trek trailer online

    Hmm. Can't imagine why they cast Chekov, unless he was awarded the privilege of being the first academy cadet to get field training. According to Trek lore, his first posting as an Ensign was to the Enterprise, under Kirk's command. As much as I like Simon Pegg as a comedy actor, I wish they'd...

    How early for Santa

    Meh. If Macy can have Santa Claus show up on their long-running Turkey Day Parade, it's okay to start decorating on Turkey Day ... though I rarely see anyone start selling holiday trees on that holiday. That doesn't mean it's the only way to acquire a holiday tree. ;) Gonna grab a "pre-lit"...

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    Are Deathclaws easy to kill? Encountered one while trailing an Outcast patrol. The pair in their armor got easily shredded by it but managed to weaken it for me to finish the creature. Besides Rad Regeneration and Hemo ... the one where you can use blood pack like purified water for healing...

    New Star Trek trailer online

    Well, according to Trek lore, Kirk was the youngest Starfleet officer to be promoted to the rank of Captain (age 34). In a way, the young Shat is pretty close to the character's age (actually one year older than his character's), though his look is based in the 1960's. Pine could pass off as a...

    It's an acquired flavor. :cool:

    4E Song of Ice & Fire?

    Any? I can't help but challenge that statement. ;)

    How early for Santa

    That's what Black Friday is for, assuming you REMEMBER to pick up holiday decorations and the holiday tree after all the great discount shoppings. :p

    How early for Santa

    "In my day" putting up winter holiday decorations in stores on the first business day of November is ridiculous. :p Now, it's just meh.

    4E Song of Ice & Fire?

    Yeah, but the GSL won't support such tweaking. You gonna have to take the CONCEPT (not text) of 4e and make it OGL. To tweak the game to suit a setting like ASoIaF properly goes beyond the purview of the GSL. Any less tweaking effort would just be half-assed (not to mention lazy on the part of...

    MERP Middle Earth Role Play Questions

    Set aside the part about being a licensed Middle-Earth RPG product back in the days, MERP was a Lite version of Rolemaster. Of course, one has to be a fan of critical hits table and the large combat matrix spreadsheet ... like me ... in order to enjoy such a game. It uses open-ended d100 rolls...

    D20 to OGL Checklist?

    I didn'te realize WotC's Licensing manager(s) worked on commission pushing for royalty-free d20 System Trademark License. ;)

    A Capella Tribute to John Williams (and Star Wars)

    Not bad. I'm a fan of acapella (and doo-wop). Here's another moosebutter music ... about Harry Potter. YouTube - Harry Potter - The Boy Who Lived

    Crusoe; Anybody going to be watching?

    They might do it like LOST but then everyone would accuse them of creative concept rip-off. I'm afraid someone is going to coined the phrase "Bad Pirate/Savage of the Week."

    Touch Screen

    Meh. As great as those all-in-one PCs, I prefer the traditional monitor and CPU tower combo, in case I want to upgrade certain hardware. If HP offers touchscreen monitors for their existing PC models, I'd jump at the chance.

    Packs of robots will hunt down uncooperative humans

    And yet I don't consider that horrible. :devil:

    Packs of robots will hunt down uncooperative humans

    What do you mean "we"? Not I, says the Apple-Hater. :devil: Anyhoo (on-topic)... When can I get my own personal Asimo robot? Come on, Honda! I already owned one of your (albeit 1997) cars. I need something to kill rats at night while I'm sleeping.

    Touch Screen

    I just got a laptop this year, and now after seeing previews of what Windows 7 can do, I want a portable touch-screen version, though not a full-on tablet PC. Can't trust them when there is only one hinge connecting the screen to the rest of the laptop (keyboard,cpu, etc.). BTW, do you really...

    Legend of the Seeker: Prophecy/Destiny (1)Nov.2008

    Better yet, will they upload the full episodes online for re-viewing? (Since I upgrade to basic DSL -- 3Mbps -- I've been watching full-episode shows online -- when available -- and stop recording them on my VCR.) Oh, yeah. As everyone says, it's syndicated, so check your local TV listing, or...
