Retrospectacle was mine. I'm blown away by the thought of a new album.
That strikes me as a poem.
I'm fairly certain it wasn't long ago that she mentioned "that scientist on Earth that kept staring at my breasts", as a name-drop to McKay. So I was really happy that's the first thing he did on arriving. :)
@Toastie: I think you've gotten it. "Discrete" is probably a better term than digital. But to complicate it further, ACGT decodes into an even larger set of amino acids. It's a positively amazing system.
FYI, the body does send electrical signals around, such as in nerves, but these are chemical-based and not digital in the sense of computing. See: [en.wikipedia.org]

@Unspellable: I completely agree with you, and think that's totally
why the time is ripe for some new website to steal Facebook's
thunder.
The only reason everyone uses Facebook these days is because everyone uses Facebook. And that's a shame.

@Graviton1066: You forgot that Stargate features Music Videos now. We've come full circle!
I was always convinced that the "power" symbol was the clever mix of 0 and 1 that was designed when power toggles moved from two-way switches to single buttons.
@Edot Achmejedidad: And with basically the same American accent as well.
I was under the impression that Trolls already HAD a complex mythos, in Norway or somewhere around there.
This guy had me going as "impressive" until I looked at his youtube channel and saw him take credit for the optical illusions of many other people, bathing in the fanboy wanking of a thousand youtube teenagers. Thanks all for pointing out this video, too, is fake. I can sleep better now.
Tim Powers, is that you??
@rob_p: I thought it was well-accepted at this point that TV studio execs do all their dealings with the Devil. It makes sense they wouldn't be too good at emulating the priesthood.
@NotChoinski: And in much the same way! Much like V's first four episodes, Earth: Final Conflict started out with a really interesting and well-executed premise. Then both shows went and covered themselves in cheesy crap. Why do bad things happen to good TV?!
@jay13x: I scanned rich planets exclusively... and by the end of the game I had made a hobby of leaving behind depleted planets where there were once rich ones.
Just another day for Commander Shepard, Strip-Miner of Worlds.

I grew up in Miami, so I might have to see this movie -- if only because Roland "Disaster Porn" Emmerich hasn't yet destroyed it on film, and I think that'd be fun to watch.
The system specs for WC3 were so high that I used its installer to benchmark my new computers for several years after buying the game.
I eventually stopped when I got the error message:
"Warning: Your CD-ROM drive reads data faster than is possible"
They completely blew up the world a few years back for the TV show Odyssey 5.
Since it was canceled before they saved the world, I'd say one could argue that the world remains destroyed at the end of the show.
@Dresan: Any US city with an Asian population large enough to support their own grocery stores is likely to carry durian.
In college I used to enjoy Durian smoothies... I have a feeling if I tried one now, I'd think I used to be insane. It really is an acquired taste.
I just hope if we see Sookie's gran again, it's not in that horrible photo.
@Testudownist: Knowing this show, I give it a 50% chance that in the episode where we finally hear the V's speak their native tongue, they still call themselves "V's".
