:: drums his fingers on the desk, looks around the room, sees the calendar... thinks to himself... hmmm, almost 4 weeks in the making... looks down at the schimatic on the desk :: ok, you replace this doobobby with this whatchamacallit, then put this round circlely thingy here, then you make the p, p, :: gets out a technical dictionary :: polarity! you make the polarity backwards, then put this wire thinger here, and plug this into that, and that into this, and switch this on, then power that off, and put this there, and start that on fire, oops :: puts it out, bumps into the wall lightly, watches a console explode 20 feet from him :: dang, sensitive things aren't they? :: wonders what they put in consoles, C4? :: then I put this panel on, no wait, leave it off, then cut this wire, touch it with my bare hands, OUCH! then i plug that there, mix the gasoline with the live wires, back away, then put the panel back on, WOOHOO, LOOK WHAT I MADE!

You know, vile has a point......

 

No offence to this advanced training thingymabober, but none of us truely know the exact tiny details of any of the ST stuff. If it hasn't been in a show or book, we don't know it. So trying to advance our knowlage into a field in which most things are made up is just, well, to use the words of a Vulcan, "Illogical".

Hey there,

 

Well part of the Academy experience is to see how good your imagination is, and develop it if needed. You only have a limited amount of information to go on, so you have to be able to fill in the rest...without going overboard.   :wink:

Without going overboard?  lol...  this board would not be here if I did not go overboard.  =P

 

It would be a simple little guestbook script that lets people post a message and if I like you, it shows up.  :)

 

It's OK to go overboard SOMETIMES.  Just gotta know the right time to do it.
