    Morning. A big bright blue sky day and sunny so far today, perhaps it really is only a score or more days until Spring, daffodils in our garden look like they are about to bloom :)

    Non-complaint:  Yea, my secondary computer is working again.  Despite having much of my system on UPS and surge protection, a couple of weeks ago I had an apparent power surge or ground-loop, or some power issue because I blew out one of my monitors, fried the component video output of my DVR, and a few days later I discovered that my secondary computer (rarely turned on, but happened to be on that day) had fried its power supply sad.  I was worried that I might also have fried the motherboard or other components but when the new power supply arrived today everything seems to be working.  Yea! smiley

     

    cheers!

    So why do the overblown logos of the men that supplied the Monet (and let's not forget Manet . . .) for the movie seem to last for half the film? I'd eaten 2 ice creams between the Paramount logo and the actual start of the movie!

    clicky

    ...that's why you need colour coordinated clothing for what you eat.

    I often wear a dark khaki shirt to the coffee shop or pub, that way if I get a dribble or spill, it isn't noticeable. 

    ...for some odd reason though, not too keen about wearing a red shirt when having pasta for dinner.

    ...Or when exploring uncharted planets with an away team. 

    Morning all.

    Dontcha ever wonder about the guy in front with the grey hair? What's his deal? Was he demoted from some other part of the crew? Or assigned to the red shirts as punishment? Or is he some kind of judas goat, put there to lure the others into a false sense of security? I can't believe though that he's a veteran of many many away missions . . .

    ..OK what gives here? Now I am involved with an tabletop RPG game called Shadowrun™, which is the source for my gritty near future scenes as well as where my story loosely came from.

    Do they realise Shadowrun™ is a trademarked title?

    What brand is the UPS?  APC has an equipment guarantee with theirs...up to $25,000.

    Never played those games, but when I saw the email this morning I had the same thoughts.  Trademark is owned by Topps.  Big company, can do big damage in court.  indecision

    I believe in our timeline we'd call him Chief Petty Officer or Sergeant Major. Don't forget, either, that both Scotty and Uhura were redshirts. So, there were exceptions.

    The department colors: command and helm personnel wear the green/gold shirts, operations, engineering and security personnel wear red, and science and medical personnel wear blue.

    ....yeah, the clothing is last thing any self respecting runner would wear to a Saturday Night Firefight.  Even a spellslinger knows you have to "armour up" to survive.

    I was hoping they signed an agreement with Catalyst to allow actual items from the game like cyber implants, armour/clothing, and tech/vehicles.

    APC, I aways buy APC.   I guess I could put in a claim with APC but how do I explain and/or prove my issue in such a convoluted system?  seems like more trouble than it's worth.  So I lost one of 5 monitors.  So I lost the ability to watch TV without turning my head when working at the computer.  I've already started reconfiguring my system to achieve a new working environment at moderate cost.
