    R.A. Salvatore

    I agree with this totally. I read for fun, to relax, to escape. Not to stretch my mind. I have family and work to do that.:)

    What do you pay for gas?

    Interesting graph showing real and adjusted price of crude. we are getting up there but still have a way to go. Crude will probably steady soon, asuuming no more GOM storms or terror threats, and the Northern Hemisphere has a normal winter, and that pig stops flying past my window. The...

    What do you pay for gas?

    It was actually just under $12/barrel in 1998. At that time the oil companies looked at a minimum of $14/barrel before they would commit to a developement. So not much happened that year, especially exploration drilling. Edit: an exploration well will cost between 9 and 30 million dollars...

    What do you pay for gas?

    Perth Australia US$3.778/ US gallon As long as it does not adversly affect the world economy I don't mind as I work in the oil industry and a higher oil price means higher day rates eventually. A selfish view I know. But I have had lean times when oil was sub $10/barrel!!!!!!! It's...

    Cancelled TV Shows

    Really pissed me off too. Loved the pretender. Watching Farscape now on DVD. Read a quote from Gigi Edgley (an Aussie actress) saying that some Farscape conventions in the USA attract 30,000+ attendees. WOW

    David Weber - Field of Dishoner

    David Weber, the first novel is 'On Basilisk Station'. If you like ebooks I think you can D/L a free copy from the Baen website. Just do a google search. I have now read 7 in the series and I still enjoy them, although with any series it sometimes becomes hard not to follow a formula...

    Clive Cussler

    which one was that. I read the books so long ago
  13. Carlos

    Clive Cussler

    the earlier books are much better. The later ones follow the same old formula. Cussler should try and put at least some variation in the books I reckon. eg: Al gets the girl instead of Dirk!!! :eek: But then Cusslers alter ego would not be quite the perfect person after all :D

    what's everyone up to today?

    Calling all my contacts to see if I can organise a new contract. This is all due to the coup in Mauritania, the place I was meant to fly to on Aug 14th! The company I am meant to work for over there has given me very little information, which is not good as I know a meeting was held yesterday...

    Warp 9, Engage!

    of course they have not observed those particles, but read the page I linked and it explains via mathematics how it is possible to exist faster than the speed of light, not for us as we exist in a reality below the speed of light. So the question 'Is it possible to travel faster than the...

    Warp 9, Engage!

    More eluquently stated at the wikipedia Tachyon page So yes it is possible to travel faster than the speed of light.

    Warp 9, Engage!

    AFAIK Einstein's theory of relativity et al states that the speed of light can not be crossed. ie if you are travelling slower than the speed of light you can not go faster. However if you are travelling faster whoop dee do, there you are, but you are existing in a different space time...

    Which magazines do you read?

    ions New Scientist, National Geographic or Scientific American is what you need for the crapper. Not too much consumerism in these. Although you may end up building an interstellar space ship, an orbital chemical plant to find the cure for cancer, save the whales, stop African drought and...

    Lost

    it's been on in Australia for ages. And I believe it has a big following. On one forum I hang out at occassionally there are 9 pages of posts. So I guess some people like it. I very very rarely watch FTA TV, (not that I watch cable either) so I have never seen an episode of it, just the...
