couple of points

Same tech that allows you to transverse space in minutes instead of Light Years see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive but in general I will agree, for me to watch that movie I would have to be too drunk to read Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 59 years. meep

But our Federation Cellphone? Nichto problemo. Look, I can accept FTL travel before I'll believe that our carriers will have improved that much in 200 years. cordially,
