Sorry Mace, some of my post was pretty tongue-in-cheek but I was wiped out last night getting home from flying across 2 time zones to attend a 3 day conference in the beautiful Cascades. It wasn't meant to be insulting. I just forgot to put in some s...  [Read More]

As Samnmax said, C of E, not Catholic. Think King Henry VIII. The Pilgrims were Protestants who were even more Protestant than the ones in charge. But my point was, this instinctual "sex and nudity are evil" response to (in this case) pixe...  [Read More]

You're right. What would happen if you took your health class book and used it for, shall we say, purposes for which it was not designed? Would that action be the wrong, and NOT THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE? As it happens to be in this instance? The book is...  [Read More]

Which is what any responsible parent would do, but is it necessary for the ESRB to raise the rating when no one pays attention to it? It seems to me that any 16-year-old who hasn't seen a breast won't be playing video games. If it's M, at least theo...  [Read More]

Evry day you see topless womens on tv, but if there is one in a game they change the rating. I think thats kind of weird, for in the most movies there is a topless scene. And it's just wrong to increase the age limit because of mods, you dont find...  [Read More]

I'm guessing they _may_ have concerns about legal issues with young kids getting exposed to 'porn' mods, even if they don't make it or accept it. Welcome to lawsuit happy America, where everyone remotely associated with a product is sued, whether or...  [Read More]

I do know that helium registers on a radar screen, which is why I called it metallic. I know this because when I was in the Coast Guard way back when, we had to launch an average of five balloons a day to take weather readings. The package was about...  [Read More]

Vrook, since he's in the game at Khoonda. Bastila and Revan survive. Jolee is not mentioned at all other than in very brief references twice, and those don't say either way. I believe Zhar and Dorak are killed--if not there then on Miraluka when it's...  [Read More]

I've been away at a conference for nearly 5 days--yesterday/night before was the first time I was able to get online, and that was only for a relatively short time, so I didn't get the chance to do much more than say hey, it's not a metal. Why it reg...  [Read More]

Jae, being the retentive science type, is pointing out that helium does not fall on the metallic side of periodic table of elements. It is a noble gas and non-metallic. Nevertheless, there is undoubtedly a good explanation for the radar signature--p...  [Read More]

Any references to magic were unintentional, since I know almost nothing about witchcraft. Three and seven are also important numbers in Christianity, three signifying unity and seven signifying completion. I mainly stopped at 3 because I didn't want...  [Read More]

Building a culture--if this gets too involved, I'm more than happy to take it offlist if need be. Here's what I have so far-- The planet Li'adin--rotates a little faster, maybe has a little more axial tilt, so the Coriolis forces are higher and thei...  [Read More]

How about an emergency of a military nature? Say a fighter coming in badly shot up, or escorting a freighter being checked over before landing? I was looking more for cockpit/tower chatter examples, but I wouldn't mind hearing about this, too, being...  [Read More]

Sure, and radio communication in flight emergencies if anyone's got that handy. I'm plowing through FAA stuff, but I'm in the mood to write instead of research right now. OTOH, when I go on my flight this Fri, if I hear anything out of the cockpit (d...  [Read More]

Thanks Mach. Chatting with hubby last night, I asked "Honey, do you think a ship should fly with the turning winds of a tornado or against it?" I had my ideas, but wanted to see if he agreed with my science thoughts. He answered with grea...  [Read More]
