I didn't like DS9 at the start, but as soon as the hair was removed from sisko's head and placed on his face it got good
whenever I look at the first season of a trek series the thing that really stands out is the bad haircuts. It's as if the shows aren't given a hair budget until the third season.
Which of the lead characters in the show were ever on the wrong side?
well, lets see * kira was an ex-terrorist (you won't see a terrorist as a good guy again soon) * bashir reveals that he was illegally genetically enhanced as a child * sisko's gf is revealed as a maquis smuggler and does time for it. * eddington (small part but a senior officer) is revealed as a spy and traitor * nobody really knows if garak is a spy for the obsidian order * federation black ops forces infect odo without his knowledge
there's lots more. sure worf and obrien have really no dark side -> they were imports from TNG but there's lots of twists there.
maybe in the season finale t'pol and hoshi get breast implants. they can squeeze it into the story line by infiltrating a pre-warp civilization where all the women have huge boobs.
In my opinion this is about the only thing that will save the show.
The headphone jack was too large to physically fit into the case.
what the hell kind of reason is that? it's not like they went: 'ok, here's how big this thing is gonna be and any features that don't fit get left out.'
come on, they left it out so they can sell you the adapter.
Or maybe "puttin' the smack down on Saddam" for the WWE fans.
except that this is really the WWE equivalent of The Rock beating on a retarded 11 year old kid. If it has to be done, get it over with but please don't brag about it, and don't hype it up as if the outcome were in question.
I got my 8500 AIW in last week (the 128 one not the DV) and I can say that while the card is excellent the multimedia center software it comes with is pretty crappy, I still haven't managed to record a show without crashing, and I've tried 3 versions of mmc.
also when I went to ati for the software upgrade, some components weren't available without an extra fee. this on a product that I've owned for 1 week! I was still getting free driver upgrades on my geforce2 card 2+ years later.
also the remote doesn't have nearly the range they would like you to think. it won't work from 15 feet away if it has to go trough a wall. I had to run a usb extension cable to my living room.
all my life they tell me to go into computers, I'll make the big bucks. and now american techies can't get jobs. I swear my guidance counselor couldn't have steered me wronger if she told me there's a bright future for gas station attendants.
everyone likes to put down microsoft, but this isn't something you see them doing. and somehow they still manage to compete.
actually humans are easier to pull off than most animals because you don't have fur to deal with. it's really hard to make good looking fur, and it takes about 100 times the resources to render a furry creature than a human.
yes but most good crackers are also good hackers which is to say that crackers for the most part are a subset of hackers so the media should get partial credit for their generalization.
an over-generalization would be (for example) saying that arabs are people who commit terrorist acts, which wouldn't be an over-generalization if there weren't non-arabs who were also terrorists. as it is the hacker thing is merely a generalization.
newer systems have memory packs that plug into the joysticks. one good thing about doing it this way is that a lot of people rent games before deciding to buy them so the save info would still be there even tho it's a different cd.
that's baloney. if you pay cash you don't have to give out your information, and if you're buying something that you intend to commit a crime with I think you would want to keep that to yourself.
well it can be either vector or raster but it doesn't really matter. If your definition of 3d is not pre-rendered then movie special effects aren't 3d either but for the purpose of the story it doesn't matter. we're just talking about getting a realistic perspective angle of a chess board. openGL is not required.
3d onjects can be modeled and animated in 3d studio max, maya, lightwave and exported to flash with plugins. if you haven't seen any good 3d in flash you haven't been looking very hard.

actually if you substitute natalie portman for pam anderson and hot grits for beer then this post has it all!
oh yeah, in soviet russia all of us are belong to your base.

for $10,000 that better be the most comfortable toilet seat of my life!
we have to rely on foreigners for patches that affect US national security. makes you wish dubya didn't alienate 98% of the world, eh?
thanks for the hot tip, and too bad it's about 10 years too late. let's see how much you enjoy working for $8/hr.
Isn't that sort of the way business has been done for a million years now? (letting go of expensive help and hiring cheaper help)
yes but if your cheaper help is an immigrant who is here under false pretenses, you just might be going to jail.

whoever modded this interesting must live under a rock. nice try, while you're at it you might also want to ask why vi is better than emacs
this whole story is a groaner for me because I just installed mysql yesyterday. they could have mentioned something...
yeah, and he actually looks so much like mcguire that a lot of people might not realize the switch.
I wonder who they're lining up for the new bad guy, it's got to be either
1) kraven
2) doc ock
3) green goblin or hobgoblin again
4) no way it's venom
Note - apparently the DivX version was encoded using a weird codec...
there's nothing weird about, 5.02 or lower has trouble playing files encoded with 5.03 so you need to upgrade if you don't have it. or use quicktime

if he had compared it it asteroids he might have made a point. as it is he just makes us wonder what the hell was space war?

I worry that we're leaving a trial of breadcrumbs for conquering alien races to find us. fight the future.

Impressive, but can it run Doom 3?
or can it beat garry kasparov at chess?
yes but with my luck the act of buying cisco stock would alter the timeline irreparably and cause cisco to crash.
btw the correct answer is:
Thats a violation of the temporal prime directive you insensitive clod!
