mikailborg: I can't even remember what event I was attending, but I must have been taking it seriously. (rainbow)
Ever notice how superheroes are reactive, not proactive? Batman doesn't hunt the Joker down for his unpunished history of crime, but for whatever he did yesterday?

In a related vein, here's a Power Rangers question for you. Knowledge of the show is not required; here's a synopsis of a standard episode.

Space witch Rita Repulsa sends a 10-foot rubber monster to the town of Angel Grove as part of her ongoing plan to capture the city. (I can't remember the reason.) The Rangers must overcome a plot point usually related to teamwork, friendship, or trust to defeat the critter.

Before it can expire, Rita throws one of an endless supply of magic staves from the moon to the monster's position; the staff explodes and revitalizes the monster, increasing it to 100-foot size. Property damage ensues as it rampages. The Rangers summon their five-piece giant robot, and melee the giant; more property damage, from both sides, occurs until monster is vanquished.

Question:[Poll #1073429]

Here is a link to a picture of the flight deck of an Airbus A830, the largest passenger aircraft in the world:

Notice that the flight control sticks have been moved to moved to the side, to make room for the primary control - the laptop keyboard.

Note also, without comment, the two Windows-based displays in the front panel.

This is looking less like a plane cockpit, and more like the bridge of the NX-01.
