Give Personnel some time to reply. Although if you haven't heard from them in a couple of weeks, give one of us a ping, and we'll see what's going on.

::clears throat:: Welcome! Three things to remember: 1) Any Academy hosted by STSF N'Dak is a guaranteed suicide mission [And that's a direct quote from his signature]. 2) Never compare the GMs to Captains Bligh or Queeg if you want to get graduate sometime before the turn of the century. 3) Any Academy hosted by me is bound to be...unique. That being said, I'd recommend reading: How to sim, as well as: Tips from the Moose For all your technobabble needs, visit Memory Alpha or Ex Astris Scientia. Academy times are listed Eastern Time, so adjust as appropriate for your timezone. Academies are mandatory, and everyone is human. Save your character development for your Advanced Ship. Minimum graduation time is 3 Academies, but don't expect to graduate that quickly; the host teams prefer to see how you are over a longer span of time. And once you are posted to your first Advanced Sim, it's strongly recommended that any ideas that go outside Trek canon be approved by your host team. As for the forum issues, if you're using Firefox 3.6.x, the forum software doesn't really like it. Other browsers don't cause that problem, and thankfully it doesn't exist in the chatroom.

Hmm...Time to ferret around JAG's computers. ;)

Real Life™ happens, TPike. Worry not about it.

Happy Birthday!

Now...when will it become economically feasible for power generation? Think about it...essentially warp cores plugged into a smart power grid, providing us limitless clean energy.

On a further note, MSG Nicholas Oresco (sp?), US Army, who received his Medal of Honor in Europe for actions during the Winter Offensive, 1944-45, happens to now live in my old hometown. As the Grand Marshal for the Memorial Day Parade last year, he gave a few words. Basically saying that it shouldn't be the media darlings who should be recognized as heroes, because they're not. Its the trooper who sacrifices his life for his buddies, the soldier who comes home bearing the scars, physical, mental and emotional, of his time under fire; these are the men and women who deserve our respect and admiration. I know its a few days past Veteran's/Remembrance Day, but the words still hold true no matter when. Lest We Forget/Never Forget

There can be only one. (Just because. :( )

Happy Birthday guys.

Just because I can... Arcadia, Reaent, Challenger, and Excalibur. A meeting of the minds? Or are they plotting something more...sinister? (ST: Bridge Commander screenshot, with USS Enterprise-E, Excelsior, Ambassador mods, stock Akira-class)

For those of us who desire to know more about the Kelvin and her class, save the brewery plumbing in the engineering section

But no reference to the JJ-Prise.

I recall a discussion, oh about 20 years ago now, for the Academic Decathalon topic of space exploration. One of the leading cosmologists of the time (who's name eludes me) dared us to consider the universe like an expanding soap bubble, with subspace the air trapped below the surface layer. As for what the criteria for discovering subspace? I think the development of superluminal communications is that criteria, allowing us to discover exactly the nature of subspace. Right now, RF (3 kHz to 300 GHz) is just the low end of the Electromagnetic spectrum, and already travels at the speed of light. Once we can take that energy and push it faster, then we'll have figured it out.

Its the location of Jimmy Hoffa.

You can also use Paint.net. Or double check your resolution settings on the camera. A higher quality picture usually results in a larger file. Or to get around the 3.0MB file size, sign up for an account with Photobucket or Imageshack (Personal choice here) and link them in, instead of having the site host them.

That's a good thing.

Happy 42 (101010) Day!

Happy Birthday Jami!
