Power

[Enzo]

Was watching an old Star Trek this evening, the one where they put Kirk on trial for jettisoning the ion pod before issuing the red alert. They eventually find the guy was not in the pod, but still on board. They do this by using audio sensors to detect his heart beat. Kirk explains they have boosted the sensor by one to the fourth power.

Really, that much?


Always one of my favorite Star Trek gaffes.

Hah, that's nothing. When I read IRU, I boost my computer's power by one to the twelfth power!

I would think they could fix that one with a little dubbing.
