"This is a ridiculous downgrade for absolutely no reason! When Ping is gone, so am I! You've dropped most of your networks, and I see no ability to add locations on the new service! This is a complete Charlie Foxtrot to your users!" - Admiral Memo

"Congrats. I'm surprised it took you this long to get Project Wonderful." - Admiral Memo

"You know what... I just realized he might be lying about doing this..." - Admiral Memo

"Subway is giving away a free cookie with the purchase of a sub on Feb 29. So get a birthday cookie! :-D" - Admiral Memo

"Yes, that is current information. (You can also find me on FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/Admira... ) I have emailed you back regarding this. Thank you so much! :-)" - Admiral Memo

"Spectacular failures are the best failures. :-)" - Admiral Memo

"Unfortunately, I assume it will have none of the bonuses, though. (Unless, those "bonuses" are bonuses to what gets put into the game as standard.)" - Admiral Memo

"I have an issue. I got paid on Friday, so I went to the store on Saturday to get essentials. The plan was, if I had enough left on Sunday, I'd buy the game after church. So, then, Sunday comes around. I am completely surprised by my friend from Paris showing up at my doorstep. We go to the mall, hang out, etc. and then I come home. I completely forgot about the game before I went to bed. I remembered the game several minutes after I woke up, so I went to KickStarter to get it, only to find out I can't send you money to get the game. How can I get the game now? Will it eventually go in the Schlock store?" - Admiral Memo

"I wouldn't say that. Andreas Katsualas played Tomalak in TNG, and I think he was pretty watchable there. More watchable than Marc Alaimo playing Gul Macet in the same series." - Admiral Memo

"I wouldn't consider him that, even if I were he was a "good guy" mainly because it was an UNARMED traitor. Whatever your ideological convictions may be, you just don't do that. Put them in custody, lock them up, force them into hard labor, whatever. But if they're unarmed and you have a way to subdue them without killing them, you don't kill them. (I'm assuming those Cardassian phasers have a stun setting like Federation phasers.)" - Admiral Memo

"I've never read or seen Dune, so I am not familiar with that. However, if I was presented with the word "Harkonnen" I would mentally pronounce it more like the author, but with emphasis on the first syllable instead of the second: "HAR-koh-nen" "HARK-inin" just sounds awful and forced to me." - Admiral Memo

"Well, it wasn't really that the Founders didn't get the Cardassians, specifically. It was that the Founders didn't get ANY race of solids that they hadn't genetically engineered themselves. The key problem is that they tried to use the same techniques that worked in the Gamma Quadrant on the Cardassians. The problem with that was that the races in the Gamma Quadrant were not a very big threat, with only a handful of planets each, at most. Cardassian territory, conversely, spanned hundreds of solar systems, and was larger than anything they'd tried to take before. This is likely why they chose more coercion than force when they first went to take over Cardassia. However, they fell back on their old tactics, and that's where it fell apart. In the Gamma Quadrant, when the Dominion crossed a line with a species, it was already too late for them to fight back effectively. They were already too big of a force to be stopped by any individual species. (If only they figured out a way to team..." - Admiral Memo

"Unless I'm remembering wrong, he's in the credits at the beginning, so I would say, yes, he's a main character." - Admiral Memo

"While there is no "correct" pronunciation, I'm assuming "TAY-gon" would be considered the "official" pronunciation, since it comes from you. I.E. if, by some chance, Schlock Mercenary got made into an animated series or talking action figures or whatever else might need voicing, it would be pronounced "TAY-gon" and the rest of the characters would have your pronunciation of their names as well." - Admiral Memo

"Ah... Kind of like my dad, then. :-) As long as you don't go gray like Data did in "All Good Things..." with one entire side gray. :-D" - Admiral Memo

"Dang, Howard... I didn't realize you were going gray until I saw this." - Admiral Memo

"Same here, man. I'm in the same boat when it comes to the DS9 reboot. I also have missed some of the middle books as well because they were part of over-arching mini-series that crossed between Trek series. I'm seriously thinking about skipping what I can of the DS9 reboot. Titan kicks butt. TNG reboot is awesome. Corps of Engineers is great for the tech-minded, or those who want something quick to read, since they're short stores, rather than whole novels. Finally, if you want some really dark, twisted Trek with a great evolving storyline? Go for Vanguard. I swear, Vanguard is what DS9 would have been had it been in the time of TOS. Let me just describe a single scene. Lesbian Vulcan Starfleet Intelligence officer having hot, passionate sex with the human secretary to one of the alien ambassadors on the station, while both are supposed to be on duty. During this, she is being constantly harassed by the katra of her dead mate, who died while he was mind-melded to her during their pon..." - Admiral Memo

"See, the lesson _I_ would have learned from this would have been "When a horse throws you, the best thing to do is to control your velocity in mid-air and end up landing on a different horse."" - Admiral Memo

"What do you think of the black and white striped tomatoes?" - Admiral Memo

"Are you liking Google+? I personally think it's FaceBook done right. Once cross-posting gets underway, I may go to Google+ more often than FaceBook." - Admiral Memo

"I've been wanting to see this movie. It looks so good. Portal 2 even had an interactive trailer for it, so that was cool, too." - Admiral Memo

"The Jackson family didn't like the Michael Jackson zombie doing the "Thriller" dance, especially after MJ's death. PopCap replaced it with another generic dancing zombie." - Admiral Memo

"*still playing Devil's advocate* Alright... Your point works for smaller societies. However, I think that a few billion people could be nuked out of existence or killed through all sorts of war or other atrocities before we would start having to worry about the survivability of our species. So, since about 1800, the world has had over 1 billion people, and since 1960, over 3 billion people. Now, we're up to 6.7 billion and by 2050, estimates are such that we'll have 10.5 billion. I think that's plenty for us to be quite anti-social, and has been since 1800. We're having major overpopulation issues. Some thinning out of the bloated human herd would be useful right about now. Eugenics might be an answer at this point. (The original eugenics, that is, with sterilization of those with genetic diseases, not the Nazi corruption of eugenics where they just killed people they didn't like.)" - Admiral Memo
