Not completely certain this is allowed here - if not, please go ahead and close. :) I've been hunting through the Star Trek shop to find a Discovery uniform, but I've noticed they only seem to sell the shirts, and not the trousers (pants if you're American). Are they available from an official...

News sites are reporting that Terry Pratchett has died. :( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31858156 I guess we knew this was coming, but still horrible news. :(

I was discussing with a friend what got me into Sci-fi the other day. Aside from watching Trek with my dad and brother, one memory is of a series of books, set in a primary/elementary school, where the pupils had strange, often SF, adventures. One particular story I remember reading was where...

I know we have a few Bostonera here, are you all ok after the bombs? Hoping none of you are among the injured/killed.

I know languages evolve, but sometimes it seems that the language usage - especially of businesses - is changing constantly. For example: - You no longer "buy" something (especially not online), you "purchase" it. (Use of more complex language for no real reason.) - On public transport...

Having just watched Time and the Rani, aside from the obvious (Tenth Planet), I have now watched every regeneration episode. I was actually very impressed by this episode - but I often see it gets lambasted by a lot of fans. I thought it was exactly what it was intended to be - funny, a great...

Ever had this happen? [Colleague is away from desk, or not in yet.] [Colleague's phone rings. Being responsible, you pick it up.] YOU: "Hello, [colleague]'s phone, [name] speaking." CALLER: "Oh, hello, is [colleague] there?" YOU: [thinking] Well, if they were around, they'd have...

One of my colleagues is trying to copy/paste some charts from Excel '07 to Office '07. He opens both, then right-clicks a graph in Excel, selects Copy, goes to Word and selects Paste. It seems to paste OK, but the Excel and Word windows then appear side by side (whereas before they had both...

My Mum half remembers a film she watched a while back. The only thing she can remember about it is that it had a guardian angel sitting on a tree, talking to the person he was guardian angel for occasionally. We know it's not "It's A Wonderful Life", but a google search comes up with nothing...

OK, so I don't see a thread for this yet, but we Brits got it on Channel 5 yesterday, just before the Americans. :) So I'm posting a thread. Don't have a screencap but if someone wants to post one for the mods to edit into my post, feel free. The blurb: I'm voting Excellent.

Looks like I get a slow day today... Nothing's going on with the two big projects I'm working on (redesigning some corporate software and designing the back-end to another new piece of software). I do backup work for one of the other divisions here (pricing of stuff), and the guy who...

Can't find the thread or I'd have bumped it - since when does Star Trek use Sonic Screwdrivers? :D (P131) Great book by the way - I read it a while ago and my Dad's just reading it, can't believe he spotted the reference and I didn't!

I'm trying to remember the name of an old game show for children, which I believe was shown on the BBC in the UK (though it could easily have been on ITV). As far as I can remember, it would have been between 1985 and 1995, as I was definitely in primary school when it was on. The show had a...

I was in a nightclub with some co-workers this evening, when a guy tried to pull one of them over to his table as we walked by and asked if she wanted a drink. She said no, he made to argue, so I kinda got in his way a little. Nothing obvious, just pushing slightly "to get through the narrow...

So I just watched "The War Machines", quite a good story! Nice to see the changeover in companions. But... right at the end, two people walk across the screen. Was it my imagination, or is one of them Patrick Troughton?

I've recently had to create a few large VBA Excel applications, all of which take some time to run. However, I've noticed that holding down the ALT key while it's running speeds it up. (I have a counter in the Status Bar, which increases much faster with the ALT key than without it. I've tried...

I just watched TNG's Conundrum, in which we meet Commander Keiran MacDuff. Now, immediately I thought, this is where they got the character of Duffy from for SCE, but it turns out that Duffy is actually another character - again from TNG, but TNG didn't give him a forename. So, there was me...

I just got called by someone for whom I do (free) tech support on an ad-hoc basis, where I installed Powerpoint 2007 a few weeks ago. They've been unable to access the program - they keep getting a "Not installed for this user" error, but running setup doesn't seem to work - nor did uninstalling...
