W00t!

Right then, my Red Dwarf question:

What is the technology that generates the solid, but most definatly dead, Rimmer?

vtmarik · Post by **vtmarik** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 12:14 pm

He's a hologram, so I guess it would be a Hologram Generator.

Yes, but the specific name for the actual device that generates him when he is off-ship.

Yep. I'll take it, because we really need to get this thread moving again.

Bonus points if you can name the actor.

Your turn.

Is it Christopher Plummer? - I know he's credited on GTA: San Andreas and I'm pretty sure he was in one of the later Star Trek films (can't remember which one though

)

Yep. I also would have accepted Wil Wheaton.

Ok on the off-chance that Syzygy isn't going to post a new question tonight, I'll throw one out there.

In the 1976 science fiction film The Man Who Fell To Earth, what is the name of the planet from whence the "man" came?

Syzygy · Post by **Syzygy** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 6:23 am

Alright, thanks for the question.

I'm pretty sure it began with an A though I can't recall the name.

Yes you're absolutely right, it is Anthea.

Ok your turn again! :wink:

Well nobody has it still.

It's Carrier Sense Multiple-Access/Collision Detection.

Basically, it's a communication protocol used in Ethernet networks.

Somebody else can post a new question.

Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Sue. If I remember correctly, that is.

3 out of 4

Perhaps I should have made clear that it was the original four names I was after, as there were later additions, including the one you mentioned above.
