I just recently realized that "Dr. Noonian Soong" and "Khan Noonien Singh" sound familiar. Is there documented confirmation that the TNG writers were inspired by Star Trek II? Or is this purely a coincidence?
During World War II, he had a friend named Kim Noonien Singh; after the war Kim disappeared, and Gene used his name for some characters in the Star Trek series (Khan Noonien Singh from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and Noonien Soong from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987)) in hopes that Kim might recognize his name and contact him.
I just finished watching Star Trek Enterprise S04E04-06 and it's about Dr. Arik Soong. He was in prison for crossing the line when he was on the project creating the genetic supermen, the same as Kahn. The episodes also have Dr. Arik Soong's children, not his literal children but a group of kids he raised that were genetic supermen. He stole the embryos when he was working on the project.
Dr. Noonian Soong is in fact linked to Khan. Dr. Soong's great grandfather Arik Soong created the Augments (a second attempt at the kind of super beings led by Kahn) and played a vital role in the Eugenics Wars. Khan's name is a bastardisation of Soong's name, but Kahn is (in a weird kind of way) Noonian Soong's great great uncle.
I can understand why there is confusion, both the Soong men have an outrageous trait in the shows, they seem to live forever. Noonien Soong was at least 100 years old when Data finally met him in 2367, and Data himself was at least 120. Arik Soong himself is no exception, the Eugenics Wars take place until 1993 on Earth, yet Arik appears on Enterprise in 2155 roughly 150 years later (and looking mid 40s to boot).
It is further frustrating that Arik (Near the end of the episode) confesses his desire to create artificial life forms, a hobby which defines the existence of his great grandson Noonien Soong. Combined with his (Arik's) uncanny similarity to both Data (the positronic androids) and Noonien Soong (all played by Brent Spiner), I can understand why everyone is so confused.
The Augments and Kahn were created during the 20th century before the Eugenics War (1960s and 70s I'd guess) (look up the book Eugenics Wars, it details where and how the Bontany Bay and Kahn were created, and the Super humans rise to global power on Earth until 1996) I am unsure if Arik is directly mentioned, I doubt it, as Arik Soong is an ENT concept created for the Enterprise show, thus a decade or two (in real life) after Eugenics War was written.

I've looked online extensively and I finally managed to get one of them to download. I got the UIDs of the files and the smaller one (1.6MB) downloads fine, however the larger file (3.7GB) always redirects to a page which asks me whether I want to proceed with the download without a virus scan. Could someone help me get past that screen?
I notice on the third-to-last line in the link, there a &confirm=JwkK which is a random 4 character string but suggests there's a way to add a confirmation to my URL. One of the links I visited suggested &confirm=no_antivirus but that's not working.
The file_id should look something like 0Bz8a_Dbh9QhbNU3SGlFaDg. You can find this ID by right-clicking on the file of interest, and selecting Get link. As of November 2021, this link will be of the form:
When downloading large files from Google Drive, a single GET request is not sufficient. A second one is needed, and this one has an extra URL parameter called confirm, whose value should equal the value of a certain cookie.
As of March 2022, you can use the open source cross-platform command line tool gdrive. In contrast to other solutions, it can also download folders without limitations, and can also work with non-public files.
There had been issues before with this tool not being verified by Google and it being unmaintained. Both issues are resolved since a commit from 2021-05-28. This also means, the previously needed workaround with a Google service account is no longer needed. (In rare cases you may still run into problems; if so, try the ntechp-fork.)
At first usage, the tool will need to obtain access permissions to the Google Drive API. For that, it will show you a link which you have to visit in a browser, and then you will get a verification code to copy&paste back to the tool. The download then starts automatically. There is no progress indicator, but you can observe the progress in a file manager or second terminal.
How does it work?
Get cookie file and html code with curl.
Pipe html to grep and sed and search for file name.
Get confirm code from cookie file with awk.
Finally download file with cookie enabled, confirm code and filename.
If the file is shared publicly, you can generate a direct download link by just knowing the file ID. The URL must be in the form " =[FILEID]&export=download". This does not require the receiver to log in to google but does require the file to be shared publicly.
Open a new tab, select the address bar, and paste in the contents of your clipboard which will be the shareable link. You'll see the file displayed by Google's viewer. The ID is the number right before the "View" component of the URL:
That's your direct download link. If you click on it in your browser the file will now be "pushed" to your browser, opening the download dialog, allowing you to save or open the file. You can also use this link in your download scripts.
I was unable to get Nanoix's perl script to work, or other curl examples I had seen, so I started looking into the api myself in python. This worked fine for small files, but large files choked past available ram so I found some other nice chunking code that uses the api's ability to partial download. Gist here:
Here's a little bash script I wrote that does the job today. It works on large files and can resume partially fetched files too. It takes two arguments, the first is the file_id and the second is the name of the output file. The main improvements over previous answers here are that it works on large files and only needs commonly available tools: bash, curl, tr, grep, du, cut and mv.
(Skip this step if the file is already in your own google drive) Make a copy of the file you want to download from a Public/Shared Folder into your Google Drive account. Select File -> Right Click -> Make a copy
Install and setup Rclone, an open-source command line tool, to sync files between your local storage and Google Drive. Here's a quick tutorial to install and setup rclone for Google Drive.
Khan (/xɑːn/) is a surname of Turko-Mongol origin,[1] today most commonly found in parts of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan and Iran. In Bengal this surname is used by many Hindu communities like Brahmin, Kayastha, Bagdi etc. The use of this surname among Hindu communities in Bengal started during Sultani period after great Vaishnavite poet Maladhar Basu was honoured by the name 'Gunaraj Khan'. It is derived from the historic title khan, referring to military chief or royalty. It originated as a hereditary title among nomadic tribes in the Central and Eastern Eurasian Steppe during antiquity and was popularized by Afghan dynasties in the rest of Asia as well as in Eastern Europe during the medieval period.
The name's earliest discovered usage as a title for chiefs and for monarchs dates back, respectively, to the Hepthalites and the Hepthali Empire, two proto-Mongolic societies in Inner Asia during antiquity; in the Pannonian Basin and Carpathian Mountains and their surrounding regions of Central and Southeast Europe, the title was used by the Pannonian Avars and the early Bulgars during the early medieval period before being more widely spread by various Muslim chieftains in a region spanning the empires centred in modern-day Turkey and Crimea to those in the Indian subcontinent.[2][3]
The surname Khan is occasionally found among people of Afghan, Muslim Rajputs and Mongolic descent, but it is far more common among Muslims in South Asia.[4][5] Khan as a last name is also used by Kashmiri Hindus, native to the Kashmir Valley of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.[6][7]
As of 2014[update], Khan is one of the most common surnames worldwide, shared by over 22 million people in Asia and 23 million people worldwide.[8] It is the surname of over 108,674 British Asians, making it the 12th-most common surname in the United Kingdom.[9]
Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan (.mw-parser-output .IPA-label-smallfont-size:85%.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-smallfont-size:100%pronounced [səlˈmɑːn xɑːn]; born 27 December 1965)[3] is an Indian actor, film producer, and television personality who works predominantly in Hindi films. In a career spanning over three decades, Khan has received numerous awards, including two National Film Awards as a film producer, and two Filmfare Awards as an actor.[4] He is cited in the media as one of the most commercially successful actors of Indian cinema.[5][6] Forbes has included Khan in listings of the highest-paid celebrities in the world, in 2015 and 2018, with him being the highest-ranked Indian in the latter year.[7][8][9][10] Khan has starred in the annual highest-grossing Hindi film of 10 individual years, the highest for any actor.[11]
In addition to his acting career, Khan is a television presenter and promotes humanitarian causes through his charity, Being Human Foundation.[12] He has been hosting the reality show Bigg Boss since 2010.[13] Khan's off-screen life is marred by controversy and legal troubles. In 2015, he was convicted of culpable homicide for a negligent driving case in which he ran over five people with his car, killing one, but his conviction was set aside on appeal.[14][15][16][17] On 5 April 2018, Khan was convicted in a blackbuck poaching case and sentenced to five years imprisonment.[18][19] He is currently out on bail while an appeal is being heard.[20]
