FIFA and goal line technology
Will finally be featured at the Confederations Cup and upcoming 2014 World Cup. At least one proposal comes from HawkEye, the company responsible for tennis boundary line cameras. The ref would have a small GPS watch-like device on his wrist that would tell him within a second of the play whether a goal has been scored.

Communism
I just recently realized that I know next to nothing about the main Communist writers. I have read Marx, and know the general principles of Marxism and Communist ideals, but I have no idea of the differences between Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, Tito or Kim il Sung's particular interpretations of Marxist philosophy.

Could anyone care to explain to me in very brief terms the main differences between these, or could you link me to something I ought to read?

Woodrow Wilson question
Hi there, we have an anonymous "public chat only" game wherein one player is spamming the chat with blank space to prevent the rest of us making plans. Would it be within the rules to provide my username to the other players so that they can send me private messages under these circumstances? What if these messages were also copied word for word and pasted in the chat room? Just looking for a method of communicating under these circumstances.

Thanks.

Gonna miss by 15 minutes... reason to be scared? No, but reason to be wary? Certainly. Been watching it from Butler for the last week and it's amazing what they can see on radar anymore. Kudos to NASA and the administrations around the world (La Sagra Observatory originally discovered it). Keep pumping funds that way or we may be flattened someday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mu07BaOx9c The Super Bowl spot trailer...damn! I didn't even see it Super Sunday (I was too busy cursing the existence of everyone ever on this godforsaken rock and whydidntkaepernickjustrunwithitdamnitwhywhywhy sorry, anyway) but DAMN...Cumberbatch is such an intimidating villain, or seems like one just from these trailers...a Trek film is finally set in the UK, and their response is "Blow the ship up?" LOL

Well, don't they often blow the Enterprise up? I'm sure you know Star Trek better than I. How many times have they blown the Enterprise up on film?

Only twice has an enterprise been "blown up" once when Kirk trashed in Search for Spock and once in Generations when the warp core breached and the explosion sent the saucer section (the lifeboat as it was) crashing into the planet below.

Not true Draug. Enterprise C blows up in the TNG episode where fake Tasha Yar comes back, and the Enterprise D blows up repeatedly in the episode where they get stuck in a time loop. I haven't watched Enterprise (the series) at all, but I'm sure the ship blows up a couple of times in that one too.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Yeah. I thought you meant in the regular timeline as the star ship of the show. That was an alternate timeline and the catalyst ship, not the hero of the episode/movie.
obiwanobiwan (248 D)
16 Feb 13 UTC
The ship's only blown up onscreen in a timeline that "counts" twice...the Enterprise C was off-screen, and "Cause and Effect" was eventually fixed after, what, about a month of their blowing themselves up at the end of every day or so.

How often the ship gets the crap kicked out of it (to use the technical term) varies by series:

The old NCC-1701 Enterprise rarely if ever got so utterly destroyed the hull started to crack...though that's less due to Kirk's awesome command ability and more due to the fact they couldn't exactly afford to show that back then on their cardboard-and-string budget... ;)

Picard's Enterprise D was damaged pretty badly a couple times, but never too badly until...that movie that, Invictus is right here, DID NOT HAPPEN...

And then Archer's NX-01 Enterprise got the crap kicked out of it ALL the time, to the point it was nearly wrecked for several episodes in a row, spurting debris all over the place...the nacelles on fire huge chunks missing...

Thus proving what a shit captain Archer was and what a shit show "Enterprise" largely was "(until, ironically enough, the story arc where the Enterprise gets blasted as described above, THEN the show suddenly decided to start getting good...just in tim for it to get cancelled! Oh well, 1 good season in 4, better than none.)

Why do you and Invictus say Generations didn't happen? Do you dislike it that much that it falls in the same category as Highlander II?
Thanks for the link Obi. I hadn't seen that. I hadn't seen these ones either:- http://www.startrekmovie.com/#/video/nAx5i0W-Ar8,
