First Contact is definitely on the top list of Star Trek movies/episodes for hitting a lot of the basic Trek themes. And also music scores, I get chills anytime I hear that main leitmotif.
I think the opening scene for the 2009 movie had more visual deaths in it than all the series combined. And one of the shockers of WoK was how we finally saw first hand what "casualties" looks like when you're right there.
That's what the transporter buffer is for. If you could guarantee always having power and error checking, doesn't it make sense to use the transporter holding pattern for just about everything?
And so Khan probably would have recognized anyone he had seen on the Enterprise then, even for a second. Actual episode elapsed time can be hours or days so he likely saw most of the crew.
Being that all printers are evil incarnate, that's not a good example. You're right on getting some things to work in Linux (although newer versions are much better than they used to be), but printers in Windows can be a nightmare too. The only two printers I never had issues with - an Okidata dot matrix printer for my C-64, and a HP 5P laser that I used with Win98 (remember when popping in a Win98 CD for drivers would fix almost everything?)
Older WIndows, this is true. That was an advantage since Windows would think it was the only OS and behave somewhat if you set it up right. But newer Windows can browse Linux fine (may depend on the format). I can see my Ubuntu partition with my Win10 without extra software, which I did need in Win8.
Sure. There isn't a question of need, but of the math. Unfortunately the 2nd Law is a bit of a stickler. Far easier to get energy and release CO2 than to get the CO2 back into one place.
There is existing, and there is being effective for the advertised job. Carbon capture certainly exists in different forms and makes sense as an addon to an existing emitter. It's hyped to be a lot more than what it does, even used to excuse more emissions growth, and that's the snake oil being talked about. In the end the only true "solution" is to reduce the actual production of emissions, something that the overall world is not will to do. And I put solution in quotes because we're decades behind on action that would be meaningful, having exponentially increased the pollution since then. We'd have to do far more than just stop emissions to fix anything.
I think there's awareness of the disease, just not enough to have better support for the family. It seems anyone I talk to about it has someone close who did or is going through some level, so dementia is not a secret itself, but more a thing that people just "deal with". But that's true of a health in general, the infrastructure for need is lacking.
As a Gen-X I have to ask what exactly is meant by that. That you openly admit cyber bullying gives some hint, but I'd rather get a self definition than to assume.
The two uses of nuclear weapons in Japan were horrible. It's been long debated whether or not that choice vs. the invasion planned was the better of two. I won't get into that.
What is more horrible is that instead of staying shocked at the potential of nuclear war, humans in every nation that could tried to make more and bigger ones...for defense, of course. And the islands weren't originally uninhabited, that's a nice story of forced relocation for the humans. The wildlife, not so much. That was the point of the post, the history of nuclear arms post-Japan is far worse than the first two bombs used.
