What parent is trying to say is that Microsoft isn't racist... Polish people are.

Where do I sign up for one of these things for around the house?

One of the main problems with getting rid of nukes has been mentioned here: no one wants to give their own up. A few countries have already given up nuclear weapons, including South Africa. All countries cannot be expected to do the same with their weapons, which leaves us with one solution...

We have to nuke the nukes from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

In Comparative Politics, France is considered an odd country. The President has almost unlimited power; there is no system in place to remove him except for the next popular election. He does have the power to remove the Prime Minister from power, which is the opposite of how the system usually works in the case of a system with both a PM and a President. Russia acted like it had a similar system until Putin switched from President to PM.

If only we had some players that were -really- good at "fix the economy" games. I'd grok to that.

That would make a -perfect- name. I wouldn't be surprised if they plan to mention it on the show.

You are not the only one. I don't understand why such a big deal was made of Hera or what point the Opera House served (literally as well as metaphorically). The Admiral going off to live alone was pointless. The idea that Kara came back to lead them to Earth -and- another Earth, which happens to have the coordinates of the notes of an inspired song, is ludicrous.

The ending showed that it wouldn't have mattered if the colonials were wiped out at any point during the series. Most of them will die in short order, all of them will have their life spans drastically reduced. The cycle wasn't broken, there was nothing left over to learn from so that humans wouldn't repeat their mistakes.

The ending made the entire series seem worthless.

A wizard did it.

Someone was sure to arrive at this conclusion.

It's a cover-up, Soviet nukes are falling from space, run for your lives!

You might want to do some reading on "realignment" ;-).

I've heard it speculated that this could be one of the causes of Crohn's Disease and Colitis. Can anyone here comment on this?

"We report direct observation of a push force on the end face of the silica filament exerted by the outgoing light" said [Weilong] She."

TFS left it out; this was the result.

Agreed. The story was quite good, and well worth the read. Kandela's name links to an e-mail address that suggest that he is Daniel Cotton.
