One of the more obscure references that I found was the name of the Klingon penal
planet, Rura Pente (forgive me if I can't spell the klingon word properly... :-).
By an odd coincidence, the name is phonetically identical the to name of the penal
island where captain Nemo (of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - the old Disney version)
grew up and learned his hatred of mankind.

If this is true, then Captain Kirk would have had to use stardates in the neg-
ative numbers in TOS.  Sorry, but I personally think that there is no rhyme nor
reason for how stardates work.

Well guys, everyone has known this for years, but it doesn't keep anyone up

Anyone smell a borg? ;-)

I would tend to agree that the next leap in interfacing will be
something much like you describe, but I also see a number of smaller
steps which are occuring as we speak.

Firstly, I believe that voice input will have a place in the computing
world, perhaps not as a primary device, but rather as a "mouse" - that
is, something that is used for certain types of material.  While I
would still prefer a keyboard for programming, a voice input system
would be much more effective for controlling a starship in an
emergency.  

Secondly, I beleive that we are going to be seeing a lot
more of the types of interfaces currently used for VR.  Although not
terribly useful for word processing, I think that such devices would
be ideal for much of the activity that takes place aboard the
Enterprise - and we even have the rudients of such a system in the
Apache attack helicopter's IHADSS.

Spock, the hybrid offspring of a Vulcan and a Human, is biologically
impossible.  Humans have evolved with iron-containing blood to facilitate
transport of oxygen.  Vulcans, on the other hand have green (copper-based?)
blood to transport what?  Do they have hemocyanin like lobsters instead
of hemoglobin?  Anyway, the point is that Vulcans and Humans have evolved
different mechanisms to survive in different environments, and therefore
Spock, as a hybrid, simply cannot exist, much less be present in the same
atmosphere as the Humans on board the Enterprise.

I believe the Star Trek novel "Dreadnaught" or its sequel "Battlestations" 
gives a rough explanation of how the inertial dampeners work.

Something to the effect that the center of gravity of the ship is "projected" 
to some distant point.

        In the TNG technical manual ther's a lot of technobabble about how the
warp drive works and how every one is prevented from becoming pancakes when a
ship leaps to warp speeds, but there's nothing that "explains" how the warp
drive violates the conservation of momentum (since no propellant is being
expelled from the warp naccels (sp?).)  Is there another source that has some
technobabble bout this, or am I just missing something in the technical manual?

Hello all,
 I seem to remember in one of the Star Trek movies a sceen where Kirk
and Savik(?) where talking to each other *while* being transported. It
seems to me that if they used this special effect more often, it sure
would solve alot of transporter inconsistencies. (i.e. transporting
casualties to sickbay, beaming down into a low area, etc.....) I wouldn't
think it would cost to much more to do this if a transport scene is 
already in the FX budget.
 Opinions anyone?

  My goal in mentioning McCoy's medical expertise was to point
  out the fact that there is precedent to belive he should still 
  be a capable surgeon,even at his "advanced" age.
  I have the feeling that an attempt was being made to make the 
  original crew appear as "old fogies" (to paraphrase Spock from
  STVI - "Could we have lived so long as to have outgrown our 
  usefullness ? Could this be considered a "joke" ?").
  As far as the classic trek episode regarding Kangs crew goes,
  I admit I was using logical extension to suppose that after the 
  entity was chased off that McCoy would provide any needed assistance
  while the Klingons were aboard the Enterprise on their way back to 
  be repaitriated.It was not demonstrated on screen so my logic may
  not hold.From the characterazation of McCoy,however,I would still
  wager that he would make an effort to "see what makes a Klingon 
  tick" in one way or another.

  (As always,no flames,just my $.02)

Ah!  Another Chalker fan!  Although its been so long that I don't seem to
remember the reference.

Personally, I don't think that voice activated input would work in open areas
such as the bridge, main engineering or sick bay.

I would think that dedicated workstations such as Ops, Tactical and Con use
word mapped keyboards containing a defined set of commands in a hierarchical
structure, shile the science stations at the back may also have a configuration
that includes a full keyboard using whatever layout replaces QWERTY in the 24th 
century B-{) for alph-numeric input.

  Wow, a question I can answer !! (well the TNG Tech Manual anyway). 
Basically according to the TM all consoles etc are a kind of touch sensitive
panel, with the appropriate layout being software configurable, to quote -

'Control/display panels .. are software-definable surfaces that are cont-
-inually updated and reconfigured for maximum operator efficiency and ease
of use ... This permits the computer to continually update the panel
configuration to provide the operator with a current menu of the most likely
current actions. This also provides the operator with sufficient information
and flexibility to determine and execute nonprogrammed instructions, if 
desired.'

'Most panels are also configured to accept vocal input, although keyboard
input is preferred for greater operating speed and reduced chance of input
error by voice discriminator algorithms.'

  Anyway hope that goes some way to answer your question.

All you are doing is grabbing air and saying it is some new Empire 
technology that will beat the federation. Face it Kevin Your sheilds and

you are a sitting duck waiting for the feds to finish you off. And 
besides all of the jedis except for luke are dead. So where is this dark
