Airlocke

Yeah, I'm glad you explained that, I wouldn't have thought things worked that way.

Funny thing, did you realize that school(of any kind or level) is the only instance in which people pay in order to do work, rather than the other way around?

Kind of the second part, but not entirely. Homecoming is supposed to be an event that celebrates the school and provides an opportunity for the students to get together to produce something meaningful, our parade is the largest student run activity in the nation, but the fact that they are making money from the students and using the parade to make money from advertisements for local businesses and provide a platforms sheriffs' and politicians' campaigns cheapens the whole thing for me. I don't know, I just don't think some things should be used to make a profit. On a happier note, Mitch Albom, "Author of Tuesdays with Morrie", "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", and "Have a Little Faith"(all best sellers) spoke at the school tonight. He is still here at his book signing, which I desperately wanted to go to, but sadly sacrificed in favor of three papers that I have to write. My normal response to a speech of that caliber would be something similar to "fucking brilliant", but I'm not quite sure that fits. I have to write two papers about Mitch Albom's speech, I'll prolly post one here. The man is amazing.

*shakes head*

*Carefully aims loaded pistol* I, my friend, disagree.

Guidance counselors. They are awesome. If you are thinking of leaving the state, which you obviously are not, try Indiana State University. We are awesome....just not in football.

I;ve had to do about three hundred interviews(slight exaggeration) and taken about fifteen videos depicting "the spirit" of homecoming. Basically, we have form our own opinion of the purpose of homecoming after conducting extensive research, and present it in a 15 min power point presentation and a video. My impression so far, this school loves money.

There were times when I've been unable to use Airlocke as a username, I got very angry, then realized that I already had an account. btw...one of the praeothmins are mine.

.... .... Bitch Please.

Pfft, I'm never avatarless. I just hadn't realized that I had lost my avatar. Now I have one. All better.

Name of a character from a novel that I have been working on for almost four years now. I was having difficulties coming up with a name for him, so I asked my 10 year old nephew for help, kids are often great with names. He suggested Airlocke and I was immediately infatuated with the name.

Makes me sad...I had thought that my username was fairly unique.

Yeah, it would be like a giant bitch slap to those of us who like the movie.

Damnit Tyralak, I just realized that my Avatar was lost in the migration...I suppose I'll have to go grab one....

Whoa, when I saw Paul's thread I wouldn't have thought anyone would actually waste time posing as me.... Makes me feel so....warm and fuzzy inside.

Fuck off

I bleieve it's hoped that there will someday be need for this many mods and admins...

... I'm dumbfounded. H-... How in the hell is that a valid reference point?

Well, I had to make sure that he knew how unintelligent he is.

Well, well, I knew you lacked creativity, but c'mon. A fourth grader would be embarrassed to use that one. If you are going to troll, do it right or gtfo. Are you seriously this retarded?

Look at the bold, that is all that is relevant to this thread. The enhanced phaser beam was safe to be fired from 40, 000 kms, which is far closer than any previous numbers Jason has put forth. Also, not that it was ENTIRELY SAFE to be fired from that distance, which means that the blast's maximum blast radius has to be shorter than this, thus far reducing its supposed yield. I would say that Jason's does not have much steam left.

Watched the Best of Both worlds last night. Towards the end of the episode, after the rescue team failed to recover Picard, Riker tells Worf to power up the deflector dish and Crusher to bring the Enterprise to 40, 000 kms, which would be a safe distance to fire with the added power of the deflector dish. Maybe this can help in any calculations to be done? (Can't do them myself, Comm major).

I am reading The First Book of Swords by Fred Saberhagen. Decent stuff.

Nice one.

As much as I hate to agree with this guy.....This, most definitely this.
