An account has three character slots. So if I have one character and my brother has another, can we play STO with the same account at the same time (on different machines of course :p)?

No. You need a different account for each person.

No, only one at a time, if he wants to play he'll need to have a separate account. You're paying a subscription to allow you a single user, to access the game at any time once.

If such a thing was possible, it'd lead to a lot of people account sharing, and most MMO's would crash-dive and find it incredibly more difficult to stay afloat than they already do.

As far as I recall, no MMO lets you do that and log into one account from two different PC's or two different instances of the MMO's client program.

No. A single account may only be logged on once at any given time. This is a golden rule consistent with every MMO in existance.

While I have never tried it with STO I do know that SWG, EVE, WOW, and PoTHS do not let you do this. Most likely you will not be able to do it, but it would not hurt you to try.... the worst that is going to happen is one of you is going to be logged out.

No. In order to do this you would need two separate accounts.

Only one character per account can be logged on at any one time. Logging into the game from a different computer will also likely disconnect the user who is already logged in.

Thanks,
