Been a while but I think I remember "Spy Hard" being pretty funny...

I think you for that bit of information Lexi. I did not know this. I am just sick and tired of our educational system taking a back seat..

Myself, I've never been able to get over how much money is put towards Sports. Forget upgrading our schools with top of the line equipment and a curriculum that is not antiquated. Let's pay some jock millions to throw a ball around. :D

Just wanted to say thanks to STSF Kent, STSF_Nickles, bluflash, Sakura Haruno and Vilanne for a fun sim tonight... or this morning rather. And also for ending the sim before me and my CSEC Sakura get smoked by a band of dirty Romulans. I swear the things that people and .. others.. will do for a few cases of Romulan Ale... :D

This is an extension of the anti matter news from yesterday. The following was posted today on a news site and the reason I'm reposting it here is because of the mention of Star Ships being pondered and considered for the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Breakthrough in antimatter science: 'This could lead to starships'Posted by Shinta Dewi on November 19th, 2010 News-worthy.info — Scientists at CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire), the European research facility that hosts the world's largest particle accelerator, claimed that they have successfully created greater quantities of antimatters and stored them longer than ever before.They reported to have been able to create 38 atoms of antihydrogen and to keep them stable enough to last one tenth of a second before the atoms annihilated themselves. Since then, the report continues, they have been able to hold antimatter atoms for even longer although no specific duration given.Scientists have been able to create antimatter particles for decades, but it is hard to hold antimatter atoms for long as they will be destroyed once in contact with matter. The few antimatter particles that have ever been produced were always almost instantly destroyed."This is the first major step in a long journey," said Michio Kaku, physicist and author of Physics of the Impossible. "Eventually, we may go to the stars".See: www.news-worthy.info/breakthrough-in-antimatter-science-this-could-lead-to-starships/3671

I'm new to STSF as well having started just a few days ago. Welcome to the organization. I'll be seeing you at the Acad! Live long and prosper.

My thoughts exactly. Darn those men in black. :(

Anyone ever wonder whether we have made this break through discovery long ago and they're just bringing it to light now? Just wondering...

I would like to thank LoAmi, Kent, TKAR and Blu for a fun first academy sim tonight. I can see that academy simming is a useful tool to both increase simming skill as well as offering some insight into what each dept would expect of you and where you might feel more comfortable working once attached to a ship. After tonights sim science may not be for me which is surprising considering that that is exactly where I was going to apply. I don't remember enough of my time as a rl EMT to try out Medical so.. I guess I will be putting an application in for janitorial. Or Captain of course.. if there is a spot open.. :(

LoAmi by the way... I enjoyed very much how the sim played out. I only meant that I wouldn't choose science at least until I increased my own scientific knowledge so as to make my actions more accurate and believable. I hope you didn't think I meant it against you :(

I can relate to you there V'Roy. I'll definitely take that into consideration when choosing my dept. :(

Bright good morning to all! I am new to STSF and very excited to be here. I will be attending tonights SF Academy sim at 10pm. I am really looking forward to it. Anyway, just introducing myself and I hope to have an opportunity to either sim or share ideas and pleasant conversation with all of you!

Thank you, Chirakis. I just took a like at Sky's site. Very impressive. At this time there are 3 that I like so hopefully with some more simming and observing I'll be able to narrow it down.

Hello all. For some reason I am not able to see a cursor where I type out my posts so it's hard to see where I am editing. Furthermore, I can not backspace or copy and past text around. For example when I am replying to a post and a quote is automatically added.. I cannot seem to cycle my cursor down under the quote. Nothing seems to be working and so far I am only able to type and hope I don't make a mistake early on in the post since I cannot fix it unless I start all over. Just wondering if anyone else has or has had similar issues. Thanks in advance for any feedback regarding this.

Everything works well in Internet Explorer. Thanks everyone

Very well. I will try out internet explorer and see what happens.

That's an interesting idea with the text editor. It's just a pain to have to do all that. I'm using Firefox 3.6.12. Not sure if firefox is the problem. I will try with IE and see what happens. Thanks

As Spock would say.... Then as I am half-human, your record remains untarnished.

Thank you Captain Calestorm. It's nice to see a Star Fleet Captain that makes it a point to be involved on the message boards. I noticed not all of the ships Captains do this. By the way.. beautiful ship you've got there. :(
