What I always wanted to know was: why did nobody think to fix their eyes? They spent so much time with the eye light bouncing from side to side, it's no damn wonder they couldn't shoot straight.

I think that's actually another severe case of the stormtrooper effect. The Cylons, just like the stormtroopers in Star Wars, are supposed to be the toughest guys they have, usually appear in large numbers and still can't hit the broad side of a barn when a camera is pointed at them.
Or perhaps it's just Heisenberg. Something like ' When a stormtrooper's or Cylon's laser shot is observed, you can determine when he's going to fire, but not where it's going to hit'.

In the case of the Storm Troopers, it's actually pretty simple. What the clone masters didn't tell Palpatine was that the storm troopers would have a giant creche mind. Therefore any one storm trooper would fire from the point-of-view of some random storm trooper in the vicinity, making it almost impossible for him to hit any target unless he was in single combat.
The same thing may be true of the Daleks, I don't know.

That's not a hard job.
I can also do that in Windows 7.
If you want to know how I do that, post a reply and I'll tell you
how to delete the Recycle Bin.

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Organize->Folder and Search Options.
Choose the tab page 'View'.
Try to find the check box 'Hide protected operating system files'.
Uncheck the check box.
Click 'Apply'.
Go to C:\
And there's the folder $Recycle.Bin!

You can hide it, disable it, or delete a link to it, but you can't "delete" the recycling bin, Windows won't let you delete the underlying system folder (or if it does, it will just recreate it next time it needs it) that would imply you're putting that folder inside itself, which isn't directly possible.
Unless you're Chuck Norris, of course.

Sorry to somewhat ruin it  - you can put a folder inside itself with hard links (junction points in NTFS).

I already said you can delete a link. The folder still has to exist somewhere else for a hard link. A folder can't exist only inside itself, because then it wouldn't be anywhere else.

This is starting to sound like a certain cat and a box.

May as well throw in Heiseinberg's (sp?) principle too. (I didn't think about "throw" being appropriate until after I wrote it.)

The easiest way to delete a System Protected File/Folder is to boot with a Linux live CD. Other way is to give to yourself the ownership of the folder you want to delete, but that may fail, because if a file is in use it may not let you delete it.
The two protected folders I can think one person may want to delete, due to virus for example, are System Volume Information (you will lose all restore points, one SVI exists in root of each partition, even if not supervised), and $Recycle.Bin. Both folders will be recreated at next boot, but their content won't return (for good if you suspect virus).
These advise (if I can name it that way) are for the common of humans. Linux Gurus and Chuck Norris don't need these cheap tricks  .

Sometimes, he can do both at once.

Love this, unfortunately I clicked on '2' when navigating to '5' for voting and now can't change it. I wonder if Chuck will notice.., wait, he notices everything. I'd better hide.
