I imagine somewhere that Mohammed forbids followers from leaving the

Being a secular humanist, what does that mean? Maybe a horse named
Christopher Hitchens?

Lol... Whodunit always has to find a way to attack Obama....how
pitiful....<g

Besides, everyone knows that President Obama rides a magic unicorn. It
would, therefore, be hard for him to be a horse.

I would like to see Obama ride a Llama.

In his pyjamas?

Mind you - he'd need huge pyjamas to be able to ride a whole llama around
inside em!

In which direction did the Muslims on Atlantis face at Prayer time?

Probably a general "what direction is Earth?" program will be enough.
...

And from another galaxy, praying towards the Milky Way
galaxy would probably be sufficient. Assuming you could
_find_ the Milky Way galaxy. In the really unlikely event
that you could identify our star from that distance, your
observations of its position would be millions to billions of
years out of date due to that pesky speed of light thing.
And lining up your body other than towards the galaxy as
a whole would be a pointless exercise in precision.

We've already had at least one Muslim in orbit on a Shuttle,
IIRC. How they settled on a direction five times a day while
orbiting the planet every hour and a half with the cargo bay
pointing down should be worth a paper in a technical journal.

Took a minute off there to research. Go read about
"Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud".

Perhaps the solution might be simpler.

I'm sure someone onboard has Milky Way bar.

I will wait for the sputtering, cleaning of keyboards and monitors to
finish before I continue.

Over 14 hours have passed. You may now continue.

Oooooh! Fan queue!

You are sure you have been watching the series haven't you?
which started with the crew "StarGateing" on to Destiny so
the only point of reference would be where they gated to
prior to the ship 'warping' away
You obviously missed the scene where they discovered the ship's log
and when it displayed a map of where the ship has been, starting
from Earth.

I've watched each episode, and as I recall they haven not been able
to get into the main systems. Did I miss something? If so, which
episode and approximately what part was this in?

Fairly early on.

Err.. it is still my understanding that they still haven't been able to
get
into the main systems yet?

No, Rush said that he was unable to access the main systems (hence why
they can't stop the FTL jumping portion). He was unaware of the
complete power loss (okay, not so complete), until the lights went
out. He had only been able to get into the peripheral systems.

He spent the first 25 minutes of "Darkness" warning of an imminent power
failure,
so he was definitely aware of a power shortage!

Heck, they still don't know which parts of the ship might be venting
atmosphere because of less than stellar shielding, and he can't access
the entire schematic of the ship.

If there are still areas with poor shielding, those areas would have been
fried
when Destiny dived into a star in "Light".

Why couldn't she have dived into a star in "Mild and Bitter"?

When was that episode? Did you see it on the SyFy channel?

There used to be a big one in Leicester Square and I think there was one in
Tottenham Caught Road years ago as well.
