Slashdot Mirror

Four days after the airing of this episode, Joss Whedon announced that this would be the last season of Buffy, feeling that the show had come full circle

For good Buffy information (they had this story linked a while back I believe), check out Buffista. Their links page (http://www.buffistas.org/links.php) is quite extensive... Not bad.

And, of course, you have to check out TV Tome's Buffy page, with good reviews, show guide and spoilers...

Any other good ones?

They tried this one. Chairface Chippendale once tried to write his name on the moon, but he only got the first 3 letters before running out of room.

And then The Tick kicked his ass...

And then the Man Eating Cow showed up... but that was after the Ninjas....

Or something...

And that reminds me of a recent simpsons-rerun, of Homer's grease business...

Ohno. Maybe next year I should try to get invited to a halloween party instead...

I don't find her particularly attractive either, however Tracey Needham who starred in Jag before Catherine Bell is one nice looking gal, and she starred n VR.5 as well - can't get much geekier than virtual reality!

you misspell pidgeons

and add a link

and a smiley face and then it ends up +2 funny. Weird

So for GOD'S SAKE MAN, SMILE!

Fairly decent episode listing, cast listing, etc.

What exactly is Odessey 5?

And why is it such a security risk that us subversive Canadians must be kept from it

Well, I can't tell you what it is, 'coz I've not really read much yet, but I can tell you that Google is your friend (you want to be clicking on those cached links if, like me, you're outside the US =).
Oh, and here's a few more links about it...

HTH, etc... (=

Steve said that "Apple is the number one supplier of Unix worldwide. Bigger than Sun, bigger than Linux..." If Steve said it, it must be true. Other than the fact that Linux is NOT Unix, but merely a clone. And since when was Linux a ,uhm, company supplying UNIX??

I own a Mac too, (G4, 640 Megs memory 2x 18G SCSI, Radeon 8500) but let's face it, Mac OS X is nothing more than FreeBSD 4.4 (pretty outdated by my standards) running Aqua as a window manager. Oh and by the way, it has a crap-load of Open Source goodies rebranded to sound like they came straight from Cupertino.

I'll give Apple one thing: If you think Apple hardware is fscking expensive, try buying a new Sun workstation! I could put a good down payment on a car for that much!

So, the question I have for Apple is: If you want the "average" Windows user to switch platforms, how are you going to convince them to pony up 3x more than a PC with less than a third of the available software? Keep in mind that the average computer user likes to swap out hardware quite a bit instead of buying a new machine every 9 months.

Steve said himself that there are "over 1500 Mac OS X apps". Most of these are haxies or simply Linux software such as GCC or Samba that have been ported over. Or maybe the iApps that are so amazing. Obviously Photoshop wasn't the "killer app" that makes everbody want OS X... So, how about something useful that doesn't cost a kidney to own (Office X, cough, cough)

With all this in mind, I'm not the least bit surprised that Linux is outdoing the Mac. I am surprised that the margin between the two is so close. For one, I can build a box that outperforms even the newest dual 1.2 Gig G4s (Uh, people use more than just Photoshop, Apple. You also haven't benchmarked the Athlons, which beat the shit out of all but the fastest P4s...) and has the latest and greatest hardware for well under $1K. Also keep in mind that the average PC user doesn't throw his entire box away after seeing new product announcements just to have the latest and greatest. If it's that hard to get Motorola to build faster G4s, then you should look elsewhere. Add to that the fact that your typical Linux distro (I also ripped into Macslash.org for calling Mac OS X a "distro")has many thousands of apps and goodies and no DRM, spyware, or product activation bullshit like Windows, and I just plain fail to see why anybody would want to bother with Mac or Windows.

Steve, it's time to break out of the Reality Distortion Field(TM) and offer cheaper hardware to get better penetration in the Windows camp.

Bill, you can take your "Trusted Computing", DRM, WMP9, .NET, buying the U.S. government, BSA, incompatibilities, daily security "patches", Big Brother EULAs and shove them up your fat, money grubbing ass.

In the words of Chandler Bing: "Could I BE more sick of corporate bullshit?"

• TV Tome's Site: Good basic information about when the show aired, the actors' names, etc.
• Yahoo TV Series Entry
• Mayim Bialik - Unofficial Biography: One of my favorite sites which, unfortunately, hasn't been updated in a while. Includes a hot pic!
• Then and Now Site: More good pictures here. I have the one on the right as my X desktop background. Always gets me going in the morning and ready to code!

Don't you remember that old television series Automan?

Between shows like that, in which a computer program given life could control any electrical device, and all the poorly done "hax0r" characters on film and television, why would you expect people NOT to believe things like this?

There's the same happy : unhappy ratio of rich and poor people. Yet I swear, no matter how many times it hasn't happened, if I had a little more cash, life would be a lot better.

All the major religions, all those philosophers mentioned in the last article seem to say "the key to true happiness is inside you," but I feel like the Greatest American Hero: where's the manual?

So, is there a secret part of the game where you get to be president of Clown College?

It happened over 22.3 years ago, therefore it can be declared funny.
Don't you know about the 22.3 year rule?

I can't believe no one mentioned Automan!I mean, here was a guy who had a cool glowing suit, and a sidekick called Cursor! Rates at least a 9 on a 1 to 10 geeky scale.

Maybe it should be an episode where Mulder, The Lone Gunmen and The Tick try to discover how the Millenim Group is linked to the project Harsh Realm.

Besides the Simpsons episode regarding snakes, maybe a scarier prospect would be the King of the Hill episode, Return to La Grunta. Hank gets attacked by a horny dolphin! (Along with other people.)

Someone must alert Mr. White now!! Before it's too late!!!!

So it's going to get cancelled

Actually, we could say the cancellation process is already there. They just aired 4 episodes so far in this season.

I really can't understand Fox. Futurama is really good, it didn't get in the repititive/appelative stage where the Simpsons is ye (don't get me wrong, I'm a big Simpsons fan too, I just think it's time to pull the plug and move on to the big screen), and now they are cancelling it (while I bet the Simpsons will still survive for a couple of years). I just hope they don't cancel King of the Hill too..

Family Guy was already cancelled back in January.

Huh? How come it's still being aired? I saw Episode 48 (European Road Show) last tuesday.

on a side note, doesn't the picture of the ULTra on the elevated track remind you of the Monorail epsiode of the simpsons?

Deciding a case from the bench isn't the norm, but it's definitely not ususual.

Judge Harry Stone decided cases from the bench in a vast majority of cases.

I think I saw the very same thing on the Simpsons. I think it was this episode.

• Stick with larger CD's and current hardware technology, and continue to have the freedom to compile our own mixes if we want.

• Purchase new and quite likely over priced technology which would restrict the use of said smaller media.
