Ok, someone explain the idiocy to me:

The Avatar trailer comes out, it's got very good CG, cool alien beasts, spaceships, mechs, and explosions. It's directed by James Cameron... and people are disappointed in the PLOT??? What in hell shack, this James Cameron. You know, that guy that does ACTION MOVIES. Since when did ANY of his movies have some great, award winning plot? It's going to be awesome, BECAUSE ALIENS AND SHIT BLOW UP IN 3D, not because it has the most amazing science fiction story in the world or something.

Is there a Shadow Complex thread up yet?

Because I haven't felt myself compelled to play a game like this in a long time. I think it's the way it teases you with all these hidden passages and that door you could get past that undoubtedly has something awesome behind it if only you had the next upgrade, so keep looking!

And it became even better when I discovered that foam + grenades = sticky grenades!

The BSG thread in MD got me thinking...

From what I gather, most people in sci-fi expect everything to have "plausible" and "rational" explanations. I put those in quotes because even then, you have to just take it on faith that some things are the way they are (like we'll eventually figure out how to travel faster than light, for instance). So there is an abhorrence to having religion in sci-fi, especially ones with a god or gods and angels controlling things. God did it, predeterminism, and all that jazz.

That's fine. Not arguing that.

So, my question is, has there been any sci-fi books, shows, movies, etc that you feel have successfully merged sci-fi with religion? And not just characters who are religious, or aliens who are all but gods (like Q), but where religion is an integral part of the plot. ie, there IS a god (or gods), and they have a hand in matters. That there is actual divinity incorporated into the universe. And oh yeah, we're flying around in spaceships.

I think Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy may come close, but I'm not sure if there actually is a god in that universe, or there simply is multiple levels of afterlife sans god). And I do like BSG, and even its ending, for all its faults.

Exchange 2007 folks -- I've been asked to create a distribution list to which text messages can be sent, in the event of an emergency. All of the necessary individuals have mobile phone numbers associated with their mailboxes.

How would I go about setting up a distribution list for text messaging? Each carrier requires it's own special prefix - how would I take that into account?
```
Verizon: 10digitphonenumber@vtext.com

AT&T: 10digitphonenumber@txt.att.net

Sprint: 10digitphonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com

T-Mobile: 10digitphonenumber@tmomail.net

Nextel: 10digitphonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

Cingular: 10digitphonenumber@cingularme.com

Virgin Mobile: 10digitphonenumber@vmobl.com

Alltel: 10digitphonenumber@message.alltel.com

CellularOne: 10digitphonenumber@mobile.celloneusa.com

Omnipoint: 10digitphonenumber@omnipointpcs.com

Qwest: 10digitphonenumber@qwestmp.com
```
The easy way to do this is to create a Mail Contact for each person's cell phone number. But AFAIK there's no way to link / associate a Mail Contact with a Mailbox, and I'd like to avoid duplicating objects, if possible.

I'm afraid to play dawn of discovery (or anno4 as we call it in the civilized world).
The game tends to suck you in without you noticing how much time went by. you want to play a short amount of time and boom 5 hours went by without you noticing.

In a way its like a combination of the settlers and simcity with a small portion of capitalism plus thrown in.

the game has an aquarium effect on me. i tend to stare at the environment, look at all the nicely animated citizens and animals in the woods/sea. The pace of the game is also really relaxing.
Games like starcraft stress me the fuck out but this has a civilization like zen to it.

I know the shack hates webcomics, but I'm drunk and the latest xkcd combines a math history joke with a favorite meme of mine:

Lateral thinking menz

listening to two coworkers working oin a project sitting in front of a single pc.

coworker1: ok that's done now lets run spell check
coworker2. ok, it shows 5 results
coworker1: "cellulite" hmmm that looks correctly spelled
coworker2: c-e-l-l- ..does ti have 2 "L" s?
coworker1: ..three "L"s actually
coworker2: hmmm so why does it show up as misspelled?
coworker1: I dont know, lets move on ...."achey"
coworker2: "are you sure there's an "e" in "achy"
coworker1: "I think so but it must be worng because spellcheck says it is"
coworker2: "lets leave it in, it was wrong before"
coworker1: "are you sure, what if it's wrong and we send it out to the printers? the boss will be pissed
coworker2: ok ..we'll run spell check again at the end just to make sure

I dont have the heart to tell them to google it. also coworker2 is a graphic designer

We are at DFW about to leave Dallas. As for tacky souvenirs, Cords bought more fridge magnets, and I got a shot glass shaped like a gun. On top of that, I'm sure the TSA will search my bags cos the hundreds of inflatable swords I took at Quakecon look like badly wrapped smack.

I hope my Slap Chop and Bluray drive make it past the baggage handlers. My last suitcase arrived with a snapped handle and a bent frame.

Blimey... just got back from seeing the Avatar 3D preview (15 mins of various footage from the movie) - I can assure you, there is no uncanny valley with the animation/CG. Also my first time using the new-fangled 3D glasses, so I was pretty much blown away by the whole experience.

Does anyone use hulu desktop? I haven't been able to watch anything with it for about 2 weeks, maybe more, when I launch it, it says it either can't connect, or can't support a stream. I can still watch hulu via the site though.
