If they don't want to pay the full $600 million to maintain the thing, all NASA has to do is outsource the maintenance contract to the Chinese - isn't that the reason China has a space program?
So what's to stop someone from photoshopping the head of another entrant onto a naked body and publishing it on a website somewhere, in order to get her disqualified? When there are no "real" images of the contestants, what counts?
Conspicuously missing from the article, where the hydrogen comes from.
It's easy. You see, at the same time we want the cars to get healthier, we also want the people in them to get healthier. So we switch from using hydrogenated vegetable oil in our frying, which frees up all that hydrogen so it can go into our cars instead!
Not having all those really cool 3D games might be a nice selling point if parents can think they're getting their kids a serious computer, not just a video game machine.
Well, 3PO still had his original personality, and he was built by a little kid.
So why wouldn't an eight-year old give his robot a taste for puns?

It seems interesting to me that someone critical of this idea uses the fact that they were influenced by the work of a creationist as a method of arguing against them.
What in the world does this have to do with anything?
It calls into question the validity of the creationist's work. If a scientist has a personal agenda, he's more likely to grab a zebra hypothesis that supports his position.
Guess what - I'm ok with them immitating Star Wars. I'm not ok with them immitating Dirty Harry. What's the difference? You are equally dead if blasted by a Stormtrooper or shot in the head by Clint Eastwood?
Clint Eastwood has considerably better aim than a Stormtrooper. If you're blasted by one of them, you're probably not dead.
There may be only two choices for making internet apps, but a lot of development is still going on that uses neither.Net nor J2EE, and will continue to do so for the forseeable future.
He needed to make it clear that his scope was only web-based development.
So now even if the leaker was going to simply forward it from their @microsoft email account, he/she now knows to either cut and paste it into some web based email instead or even copy it to a floppy and mail it from some off-Microsoft-campus site instead.
I think that what he was really saying was "Look, I know you're going to leak this - see how dismissive of leaked memos I was at the top of my message? Go ahead and leak this one, but don't forward it from our servers. If you do that, I'd be able to track you down, and all those statements I threw in about this being internal only mean that I'd have to fire you to maintain respectability. So leak my memo, but be smart about it, so I still have plausible deniability."
I was really enjoying the show until they got to the point where the Earthlings had no clue what "Rigel" meant, and had to ask the Vulcan, and then needed the Vulcan's star charts to get there. You'd think starfleet officers would be a little more familiar with astronomy.

Not quite. More like:
"To fantasy, LOTR leads.
To roleplay, fantasy leads.
To nerdity, roleplay leads.
And in you much LOTR I sense."
They at least should have gotten Noah Hathaway.

Too bad Battlebots got cancelled.
These guys could have been contenders.
The correct thing to do, of course, would be to introduce his son in this movie.
He could just formally adopt Short Round, and let him take over the family business.
Are they going to use any Zeppelin?
"In the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair, but Gollum and the Evil One crept up and slipped away with her..."
Is all this talk of song stealing giving anyone else Harvey Birdman flashbacks?
I've now got that stupid Shoyu Weenie song stuck in my head.

The new chick (at least in the us version) is named Lisa Rogers anyone know if she is a relation to Cathy or if its just a coincidence?
She's on the UK version; the new chick on the US version is Karyn Bryant.
It's just a coincidence.
I'd been holding off buying a DVD player (and DVDs) waiting for them to win.
I guess I'll never get one.

Someone needs to make a Star Blazers reference.
It's probably more like 6,000 words in each of 10 languages. Giving it 60,000 Japanese words would aim it at a much smaller market.
Where are they going to find that many crosseyed actors? (Many of the faces on DBZ remind me of flatworms.)

Since River's unavailable, the kid from the Young Indiana Jones TV series could do a decent job.
Where's Cecil the Air-Raid Turtle when you need him?
You're confusing your turtles. Cecil was the one who raced Bugs Bunny.
The air raid turtle's "name was Bert, and Bert the turtle was very alert. When danger threatened him, he never got hurt - he knew just what to do!"

This was their first voyage into deep space, how would they know about this stuff?
Rigel's a star visible from Earth with the naked eye. It's in Orion.
It was named centuries ago. It's not a name some Star Trek writer invented.
I was really enjoying the show until they got to the point where the Earthlings had no clue what "Rigel" meant, and had to ask the Vulcan, and then needed the Vulcan's star charts to get there. You'd think starfleet officers would be a little more familiar with astronomy.
Do you think if Titanosaur was in Jurassic Park III more people would have gone to see it?
Only if it stepped on Leonardo DiCaprio.
