What became obsolete during the past decade?
This one might be argued by many in the IT world. It is not uncommon for companies to require there IT folks carry pagers and always be available at home in case of a problem.

Replicators just became boring after a while?
When they were the metallic spiders, they were good, nicely done with the fear factor too. Just a touch of Aliens in the 'take off and nuke the site from orbit' extreme reactions they created - made them appear genuinely threatening.
Over time though, as with all over-used threats, they became dull and repetitive. Particularly once they became 'human form', they were just plain ridiculous.
I particularly disliked the way Atlantis handled them - I really liked SG-1 's simplistic backstory of them starting out simply as toys. Atlantis ' attempts to make them more sinister got irritating.

Which song became your life line at a time when your life hit an all time low?
If I had to pick one song, i'd say "You Are Loved", by Josh Groban. I've had alot of lows, but this one got me through the lowest of them all. I had a really bad semester at school, my migraines were seriously hampering my schoolwork, I had crises on a monthly basis throughoiut the semester. In October, I had a near overdose on a blood pressure medicine because I misinterpreted something my doctor said. In November, I had a life or death experience that was so bad, that when I reached fight or flight mode, I just sat there thinking, "oh well, no more migraines". Four days later, Josh Groban's new CD "Awake" came, and the song "You Are Loved" became my main inspirational song to get me moving every day. It was that song that made me realize i'm not living for me, i'm living for everyone else. My main goal in life now is to make a positive impact on as many people as possible. Hopefully my book I wrote will make alot of people laugh.

So what became of the Dion Phaneuf hit?
It should at least be acknowleged due to the dangerous nature. When things are questionable they always at least say something to the media.

Unit Portraits Became Darker?
Not quite sure what could be wrong, it might be that your files have corrupted or became fragmented. Try defragging your hard drive, and if you're really disturbed by this problem, you could try uninstalling and re-installing it.
