So, TIL I could cosplay MaryJane Parker fairly easily, with a blow dryer and round brush. Awesome! Adding to the sassy-fierce redhead cosplay list. Originally Posted by theCFE

Really enjoyed the new Ironman.... until like the last 10 minutes of it.... wtf? Really?

His interaction with the kid was f'ing hilarious... laughed way more than I expected to.

I was disappointed by the post-credits scene as well. Needed some awesome spoiler for Avengers 2, goddamnit!

On May 6th, 1949 EDSAC (or Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator) ran its first programs, calculating a table of squares and generating a list of prime numbers. The massive vacuum-tube-powered machine was put into service at theUniversity of Cambridge and almost immediately changed how research was done at the school. It was among the first general-purpose computers capable of storing programs in rewritable memory, which took the form of mercury delay lines. Maurice Wilkes, the designer of the EDSAC, certainly earned his place in computing history, but David Wheeler's later contributions were equally important. Using the EDSAC he invented subroutines, an essential component of modern programming that allows developers to reuse bits of existing code to simplify the act of writing software. This milestone piece of machinery is little more than scraps at this point, but a team at the UK's National Museum of Computing is working to build a working replica. The hope is to have the computer up and running by May of 2015. For some more insight into how the EDSAC changed the face of computing, check out the video after the break.

Would be neat to see it run though.
Star Trek vs. Star Wars
Love them both but Star Trek had better plots,interesting characters, and more women!
Dare I say Trek is more "mature" than Star Wars.

That said I believe Disney will improve the Star Wars franchise. I was looking forward to the prequels but was disappointed in how Lucas handled them.
I enjoy Star Wars comics,novels,hell even the video games more than the actual movies.

Star Wars of course brought us, the ever iconic:

I really liked the Force Unleashed games not only because it was in canon, but it was just damn fun running around using Force Lightning on well... everyone. Of course, KoTR was amazing as well.

Everyone knows Star Wars is better than Star Trek. I do however fantasize about getting crazy in the holodeck. That would be fun.

Q. What did they find in the laboratory of the Starship Enterprise?


























A. The captains Log.
