I read about it earlier today and my first thought was:

What if, after they have fixed this cable, the same result occur.

I once got the chance to be on the set used for the bridge of the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Geneation. A friend of mine from Paramount Studios had told me about the various joke labels the stage crew had put on the control panels of the Enterprise and I had to check out one in particular. On a panel near the station manned by Worf was a control with the warning: "186,282 miles per second: it's not just a good idea; it's the law"...


(and, yes, I did take the chance to sit in Picard's chair...)

No, but I am impressed by your knowledge of Star Trek lore. I never really got into the details of Star Trek. But, the person who told me about the bridge jokes did get a character named after him:

He also was a close friend of Stevie Ray Vaughn and was one of the two guitarists who took Stevie's place (it took two guys to do what one SRV could play alone) when SRV left the Cobras to form Triple Threat, later known as Double Trouble...
