Questions

Question from DarkAbyss757

Dear The Great Trekkini and Shanetacular, I have two questions for you this week. First off, I have been wanting to get back into Runescape lately because I am remembering all the good times of doing farming runs, questing, etc. But when I log on I just don't have the enthusiasm to actually play runescape, which usually leads to me swapping to StarCraft 2. Does this ever happen to you? What gets you back into the game? Secondly, If you could build your dream Desktop, and money was no object, what would be your parts of choice? And also if that desktop could have one unrealistic feature what would it be? (example every time you gain a farming level it bakes you a cookie.)

Thank you for the amazing shows every week,

DarkAbyss.

Question from The Ger Man

Question from Firering401

Shane, do yo/u have any tips not to get discouraged while programming? I personally think of myself as a bright student, but programming (java) often makes me feel stupid, so I tend to avoid it..

Also what are your views on the renewal and extension of the DMCA's jailbreaking policies? Do you think it should be legal to jailbreak your devices that you own, and do you think ripping your personal DVDs should be legal? Personally, I tend to go by a code of ethics, rather than legality.

Thanks for the great show

Question from Morumska

dear host's morumska again

i started watching start trek next gen again (not since when i was a kid) , and i wounder what does Whoopi Goldberg's character does in the ship, what is her role?
