Some of you know I lived in Germany in the '70s when my father was stationed there in the US Air Force. It's past time to come back and I'm looking for people with current knowledge to help me plan a vacation. Current plans are to rent a home near Paris in July and use that as a base to...

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Tuesday his country doesn't intend to use the International Space Station past the year 2020 and that this would effectively exclude the United States from using the orbiting laboratory. ... Deputy PM says Russia aims to end ISS participation...

Getting fired up for the Olympics. Just a little depressed NBC will ruin the coverage again with too much packaging. Hopefully it will not be too bad.

For fans, The West Wing is now on Netflix. Even if you are not a fan give the Pilot a try.

I was looking for info on the tornado strike here in the Minneapolis metro area and came across news reports on Joplin. It sounds like at least 24 were killed. A major hospital was hit with four dead there and reports the hospital is being evacuated. They are asking for any medical...

Story here I'm having a hard time figuring out how a difference in air temperatures would cause trains to lose traction in the channel tunnel.

TV Squad: Is there hope for a new TV show?/

I think it’s all but inevitable that Paramount will want to get a new (reboot) TV series on the air as soon as possible. They will want to strike while the iron is hot and capitalize on Trek's new popularity. I don't see the movie actors doing TV so it will have to be another ship and crew...

Oh boy! I have got trouble on the virus front. In the last two days two computers in my house have gotten nasty a nasty virus. The first is an old computer my kids use to play WoW. It has no anti-virus software installed on it. It has the TROJAN_FAKEAV.AGT and Spywareguard 2009 combo on...

I'm getting a new Dell laptop and I was wondering what to expect. I assume it will have a lot of bloatware on it I need to delete? Do they usually come with current drivers, or do I have to start looking for updated ones? Finally, do you get a real Windows disc or just the restore discs...

I love my shower radio with TV sound. But I know it is going away in February when all the US TV stations go digital. I was wondering if anyone here knew how expensive it would be to add digital TV audio to a small radio? I imagine it would be too expensive for a device like a shower radio...

My grade is: F NBC continues to refuse to recognize that the world has changed. In a world of instant Internet news and streaming video doing a tape delay of events is simply not acceptable. How did NBC fill most of its airtime? When were weren’t being subject to an endless series of...

Well, the Olympics opening ceremonies are going on right now and the only place in the world you can't see it live is here in the US. I hate NBC and their time-delayed, over-produced, warm & fuzzy, US-centric coverage.:klingon::klingon::klingon:

It's not a Trek game, but it is a game. I'll let the mods decide if it belongs in another forum. http://fantasticcontraption.com/

I just finished watching the John Adams mini-series on DVD. It is nothing less than outstanding. Most films of this period seem fake to me; the actors are modern men just playing a role (badly). But this series really sold me. It looked like a window into the past. A past where the revolution...

The VentureStar project was cancelled back in 2001 after technical difficulties that were considered insurmountable at the time. With the aging of the Space Shuttle NASA has gone "back to the future" with another Saturn V like rocket like Ares. But isn't this a profound mistake? How can...
