/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

But if they were open source they'd have the worst name possibly, and possibly an equally awful UI.

I guess we can be glad that "the GIMP" is taken so nobody will reuse that for a future FOSSeporter

The first one wouldn't have a ui, it'd be a Unix-style command, probably called tsck, or killu or something.

  • Bob's Alternate Teleport Engine - A reimplementation of the standard protocol.
  • Ben's Unified Teleporter Template Placed Largely Under Ground - You do need to dig a big hole, but the result is very neat, with just the teleport pad and controls showing.
  • Complex Linear Indoor Teleporter - Works like a corridor, letting you just walk from one building to another.

For number 2 there's a derivative which can also vibrate, which is said to make the process much more pleasant. Oh and it's entirely built out of rust, nobody really knows why though.

The faster you walk into number three, the sooner you reach the destination.
But you need to have the endurance to make it to the end.

The important part is to start with the acronym and then try and figure out what it can stand for.

Yes. The H.R.U.M.F. principle!
