    Technical Problem with site

    If opportunity does arise, it could be a good thing to change. Loading the Java virtual machine delays page loading (and consumes memory too).

    I, Robot

    Disclaimer: Even after trying to suspend disbelief... accounting for difference of era... I stopped reading Asimov's robot stories. My opinions on robotics and artificial intellect contradict too messily with his. I could not read something I found myself constantly second-guessing. That...

    Re: Rangers Redux Still reading -- I was merely checking less often. Many thanks for additional bits of story! :)

    Some questions to be answered

    Thanks for suggesting! :D Some quite interesting possibilities! To keep my promise, here are some pictures of mostly flowers (including also a frog, fish, flare and dragonfly). I hope my page presents them in decent form. I should really offer more... but doing an inventory in my photo archive...

    LOTR DVD cover art

    My example is silly. But that silly example... is necessary to re-emphasize the importance of factors which your approach needlessly de-emphasized. Yet we perform similar actions in limited extent. We discuss. Discussing, we occasionally describe -- sometimes exactly, sometimes with...

    LOTR DVD cover art

    From the viewpoint of theoretic interpretability... yes, agreed... irrelevant. From a viewpoint of practise, agreed with notable reservations. As mentioned, a degree of derivation may become allowed under certain conditions, and the border of where derivation for personal use becomes...

    LOTR DVD cover art

    That is not a mistake. Extent, nature and intent... notably influence whether a copyright holder will *ever* perceive something as harmful, and take action against it. What is permissible is sometimes not determined by theoretic interpretability of a single law -- but also its practical...

    The Memory of Shadows spoiler policy?

    Well... there just *could* be a major information leak... :: wishful thinking ::

    The Memory of Shadows spoiler policy?

    My suggestion: mention as spoiler, present in quotation, color like background. If only the color tag worked. The below text should be blue. <font color="blue">Some text</font>

    Technomage trilogy question - Spoilers!

    I would venture to guess... that the Eye could perform little which a few Shadows (or even a single individual) given a minute to prepare, could not accomplish personally. They probably built the Eye... because they didn't bother to micromanage, considered it boring or dirty work. It remains...

    Kosh's creepy dream sequence

    Re: Kosh\'s creepy dream sequence It sort of depends... on how one perceives time. One could construct endless theories on the issue... but without ability to verify... the result would be void. Alternatively, one could admit current lack of proper scientific approaches to this issue...

    "Today we lost Richard Biggs"

    Re: \"Today we lost Richard Biggs\" Terribly sad. What a terribly fragile existence the human form really is. Nothing to predict, nothing to warn of danger... and so many opportunities left unexplored. I don't have the right words to properly express this.

    I find this a little discouraging

    No invisible message, rest assured... just a very old Jedi mind-trick. :D Now let me remember what the Jedi called it... was it not "approximation"? Seems somehow inaccurate. Or was it "derivation"? No. That sounds too un-original. Far-fetched as it may appear... perhaps it was "association"...

    I find this a little discouraging

    Not certain about showers. Highly advanced species would probably employ other means against gathering dust... ...but are you sure it was not the associates who tasted the shampoo... and did the free reading? (All perfectly acceptable and motivated by genuine scientific interest.) Of course...

    Some questions to be answered

    Unfortunately... too little. It simply refers to a suspected source of propelling force: undetected but presumably not matter (named "dark energy" for the sake of convenience). What I would like to find... would be theories trying to guess the properties/source of this force... and what...

    Some questions to be answered

    ANSWER #3: Apparently no. However, I suspect that when clarification is needed, they include their caste, clan... and perhaps even profession. Instead of just Delenn... Delenn of the religious caste, from the clan of Mir... would explain better which Delenn is meant. QUESTION 4#: Why does...

    Straightjacket Lyta

    Well... there certainly was an element of threat... but that element was certainly mutual. Sheridan could use a PPG -- but Lyta could presumably make the PPG malfunction (and if she really tried hard, perhaps make Sheridan's head implode too).
