OT: Enterprise New thread....

[dmm]

Actually, I'm from Philly (that's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA), so I probably should not be making fun of other peoples' accents! I don't talk like Rocky Balboa, mind you, but people from Maryland think I'm quaint. (They've got a lot of nerve! Can't even pronounce their own state's name properly -- they say "Mrrlnd.")

Warning: Boring geographical tidbit ahead.
MidAtlantic is loosely defined as US coastal states south of New England and north of "The Deep South." So Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina are not MidAtlantic states, and North Carolina probably isn't one either, while Virginia may or may not be, depending on who you are talking to. The "definites" are New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

I always figured mid atlantic ment living on the coast.

Oh and a good star trek....

And I enjoyed it......................

No reviews of it yet.....

also check out treknation.

the guide is updated with a few new satire espisode's

[geoschmo]

I really liked the episode, but someone needs to tell the writers that foreshadowing is more effective if it's more subtle.

Archer: Someday they will have some sort of, {searches for right word} "Directive" to guide these situations....

Oh, my. What's next?

"You know T'pal, Humans and Vulcans may not be the best friends now, but some day our planets will have to form some sort of , uh, "Federation" if we are going to be more united."

'Directive' sounds better than 'Process Improvement'

The thing I would like to know is when do all the Process Engineers get taken out and shot.

Think of the paper trail you would need 300 years for now in creating or doing anything.

[tesco samoa]

another good star trek.

Thats two weeks in a row.

[Atrocities]

I for one like this new series, and it's appeal.

Panzerkachel sch�tzt vor Geschossen

Dresdner Forscher haben durchsichtige und extrem harte Kacheln entwickelt. Von dem Material, aus dem sich etwa schussfeste Visiere fertigen lassen, ist auch das Pentagon fasziniert.

Durchsichtige Alu-Fliese


Amerikas Waffentechniker zeigen Interesse an einer Panzerkachel aus Dresden. Im dortigen Fraunhofer-Institut f�r Keramische Technologien ist es gelungen, feink�rniges Aluminiumoxid bei 1200 Grad Celsius so im Ofen zu verbacken, dass ein extrem hartes, durchsichtiges Material entsteht.
Eine 10 mal 10 Zentimeter gro�e Platte (St�rke: 1,0 cm) wiegt nur etwa 400 Gramm, ist aber dreimal h�rter als geh�rteter Stahl. Bei Schusstests im Auftrag des Bundeswehrbeschaffungsamtes in Koblenz seien "hervorragende Ergebnisse" erzielt worden, berichtet der Forscher Andreas Krell.

Auch im US-Staat Idaho wurden die Fliesen untersucht: Das Pentagon ist von der Transparenz des Werkstoffs fasziniert, mit dem sich schussfeste Visiere oder gro�e Fenster von Panzersp�hwagen bauen lassen.

Tank page frame protects against projectiles Dresdner researchers developed transparent and extremely hard page frames. By the material, from which visors can firingfixed be manufactured, also the pentagon is fascinated. DPA Transparent aluminum tile Of America weapon technician show interest in a tank page frame from Dresden. In the there institute for Fraunhofer for ceramic technologies succeeded in baking fine-grained alumina in such a way with 1200 degrees Celsius in the furnace that an extremely hard, transparent material develops. A 10 times 10 centimeters large disk (strength: only about 400 gram weigh, are however three times harder 1.0 cm as hardened steel. With firing tests under contract of the German Federal Armed Forces from the Bundeswehr in Koblenz " outstanding results " were obtained, report the researcher Andreas Krell. Also in the US state Idaho were examined the tiles: The pentagon is fascinated of the transparency of the material, with which firingfixed of visors or large windows of armored reconnaissance vehicles can be built.

And for our Candian friends use this to view it. I link it back to this thread so you can get the real feel of it
