Wil Wheaton to get new role on 'Enterprise'

hisholiness writes "It seems that a major underground letter writing campaign has secured Wil Wheaton (ST:TNG's Wesley Crusher) a recurring role the current 'Enterprise' series. According to his website, he states, "The details are still being worked out, but basically what they plan to do is have Wesley use his Time Traveler abilities to move through space and time to the NX-01. He'll be written more like the dark, troubled Wesley of 'The First Duty' and 'Final Mission', and less like the gee-whiz Wesley of days gone by." He continues that he will be in 8 of 22 new episodes over the next two seasons."

    Red Hat To Change Focus

    04012002 Posted: 7:58 AM EST (1258 GMT)

    DURHAM, North Carolina (AP) -- The Washington Post reported late Friday that Durham-based Red Hat, distributer of the popular Linux operating system, has decided to change their business focus.

    Sources close to the situation report that the company will concentrate on selling fine haberdashery, abandoning their efforts to sell Linux based software and services.

    "As a company policy, we don't respond to rumors, but this one is true," Red Hat spokeswoman Melissa London told The Associated Press in response to the report.

    An anonymous source told The Associated Press, "They just realized they could make more money selling red fedoras. I can't blame them really, the fedoras they make are very nice, and were making them a lot more money than Red Hat Database was."

    Further details are expected later this week.

    The Palestinians are not in Israel, nor are they citizens. They live under the rule of Yasser Arafat's "Interim Government", also known as the "Palestinian Authority". Under this system, the palistians have autonomy, but the truth is Yasser Arafat (or General Arafat as he calls himself) is running Gaza and the West Bank like a tin-pot dictator. Under Arafat, not only do they not have a vote, but they dont' even have the right to political speech unless it's under Yasser's direction.

    At this point, there are three kinds of Palestinians (in order of their percent of population)

    1) The kind that don't give a shit about any damn cause, and just want to have a life that doesn't include sending their kids to schools in flak jackets
    2) Palestinians who think they are fighting some grand cause to reclaim lands they never actually had from a people who doesn't even want it, and think that they are justified in murdering civilians in the name of their cause
    3) The Palestinians who go around convincing #2 that they "are fighting some grand cause...", while talking out of the other side of their face to the rest of the world about how much they want peace with Israel.
