"Ye cannae change the laws of physics!"
Jeremy Allison
Scotty the Engineer was always my favorite character in the original "Star
Trek". Sure, Captain Kirk was the hero, he was at the heart of all the
action, and got to romance all the green-skinned women, but if he wanted
that amazing ship to actually do anything he had to ask Scotty. He had to
ask him nicely.
If you think about it, Scotty had all the real power in that show. If he
told Kirk the dilithium crystals were drained, there was never any real
argument, the captain would cry like a whining child, but in the end he had
to face reality and wait for Scotty to fix it.

...and Mind controls all things, both the greater and the smaller... And all
things that were to be... Mind arranged them all
The miniaturization of technology is slowly turning from promise into
reality. The success of this trend has spawned perceptual difficulties for
consumers: a few years ago it was still possible to impress a datacentre
manager with the size and robustness of a Sun workstation. Today, an iPOD
has more RAM, processor power and hard disk space than a server used to have
in the year 2000.

If Mandelson was Goebbels so Alistair Campbell was Himmler and John Prescott
was Goering, the fat bumbling one...
This makes Gordon Brown Rommel, responsible for his master's only successes
and always vulnerable to a knife in the back.
but how did he survive the purges, and shouldn't he have fallen on his sword?
As for Eric, I'll never forgive him for giving a name to Big Brother, the
cultural event of the Blair decade, but there you go.
