I use Oggmachine to encode at 0.65 (~195Kbps) and it sounds excellent to me, much better than mp3. I don't know what this translates to, in terms of 1,2,3,4 etc.
Star Trek has always had an interesting connection to this topic actually - it is known that Roddenberry was quite anti-religious so religion was taboo on the ST TOS show.
Now things changed, Roddenberry died, and we got Star Trek Deep Space Nine where not only was religion and spirituality not taboo, but it was part of the main storylines and that was why I liked it.
Now, are you Shatner's spokesman or what? Why bother? Get a life yourself.
I used to like (still do) your acting on TNG. TNG was shown quite a bit here on TVM (in MALTA), at least the first few seasons, then I watched the rest on foreign tv stations. Hope your character will return someday in the Trek movies, together with Capt. Sisko of DS9!
There are already lots of fan music videos on the Internet, with clips of various shows like Farscape, Smallville, Stargate SG-1 but I could not find any of Trek. Odd when you think about it.
Do you believe in God and have you ever experienced Him personally? What do you think about Captain Kirk - is it faith in God which sustains him?
Are you happy with the GENERATIONS movie? I liked it but it could have been better if Kirk had not died. The good thing is that Kirk lives on in millions of fanfics.
I've got my own webcomic, too. It's apokalupsis - a variety of concepts from sci-fi to bible adaptations with something for everybody. I do it for fun. I haven't updated much recently but I hope to make a new update soon...
Perhaps we should encourage people who create divx, mp3 files which they own the rights to (e.g. some non-professional bands, users who make camcorder videos, etc) to share them on these networks.
When I coded my search engine I took count of meta tags however I tried to get the program (written in GNU Pascal) to filter out 'spam' words i.e. words which are repeated more than once in the tags, or which never appear in the text itself. So far it has worked, but it's becoming a time-waster. Better to forget about the keywords meta tag. The other tags are useful however e.g. the description tag. I vote to keep using the description tag.
Hmm.. I think Richard is right in the history he describes, certainly, however it is fair to say that many other components are installed in a typical Linux system. Should we change the name to include ALL of them? GNU/Linux/KDE/Netscape/Galeon/..... etc...etc...?
The defacto name is Linux, now. It's too late to change it, after the horses have left the stable.
A distribution is free to name itself and include the word GNU. Asides from that and the history lesson I don't think there's much which can be done. It is too late, whatever one's opinion may be.
AC, I'll ignore your comment. Or rather I'll tell you my opinion - fake 'religiosity' is bad, real and authentic religion is good. In this world you have both, and the bad makes bad publicity for the good. I believe that everyone has the right to express themselves in a civil manner. I believe that Spiritdaily is a very civil website and should not have been banned.
The Spiritdaily website is blocked by China too (according to the real time list). It's the only Catholic or Christian site to be blocked, it seems. Can anyone find other Christian sites which are blocked?
Where I live, the cost of a refilled cartidge is not worth it compared to the cost of a new one. Then you can even buy refilled cartridges cheaper online through foreign Internet websites and get the approved cartridges even cheaper still.
In a recent submission I posted a review of a new Doctor Who book which just came out. It has been written by Paul Leonard and features as one of the main characters Alan Turing.
It is an interesting book, featuring also Graham Greene the novelist as a character.
It is all about a mysterious encrypted transmission coming from Germany in the 40's.
One of the locations in the book is wartime
Malta.
Something similar happens to alt.* newsgroups
when they are not propagated properly, due to
the groups not being discussed at all. Some sites
create the group, most of the rest don't, then
the sites which have created the group are not
connected at all, due to the sites in the middle
who refuse to forward postings from the group.
The result: a similar situation to what is mentioned here. Perhaps worse, as many don't have a clue of what has happened. An example of this is alt.tv.sliders.creative. On some ISP's you can read some messages, but on other ISP's on the other side of the world, you can only read OTHER messages, and never the two shall mix!
I've seen a fuji digital camera. The weak point was the software which had you have to doubleclick on every image you want to download from the camera to the computer. You can't just download all the stuff in one go. You could do that with a Hewlett Packard at least. If you don't have a USB port, you'll have to use a serial cable, and unless you get a port switcher to work, you'll have to remove your mouse and (1) find a mouse for your COM2: port, or (2) get some way to move the pointer using the keyboard (MouseKeys perhaps) since the HP software's weak point is that it does not have keyboard shortcuts and does not allow keyboard use.
Or bring back that Crichton fellow who went through a wormhole in 'FARSCAPE' and is now at the other extreme of the universe:) We could end his show too!
X-Men: True Friends was an excellent 3 issue mini, written by Claremont years ago but published a few months ago. What Alan Davis did on X-Men and previously on Excalibur was good material too. I don't like most of the 'independents', at least I don't like those books that spend half of their time insulting and basically being about nothing except about boredom or something similar.
In my version, it would be Rachel Summers and her father Cyclops who would train the new mutants. This is a nod or reference to that "Future Past" set of x-annuals, which made an excellent read. The story must involve the tragic element to make the reader feel for the characters. I also like the fact that in your version there would be no Jean Grey.

Now that's a great question... or a good Crossover - Kirk, lost in the past, meets the crew of Moya...
Do you believe in God and have you ever experienced Him personally? What do you think about Captain Kirk - is it faith in God which sustains him?

I wasn't able to set proxies and other settings.
Advanced settings will be back soon, the program tells you.
This article was really interesting.

One of the early ones in the 80's was called THE LAST WORD. I remember reading about it in PCW.
People in China might be interested to know that it can also be accessed at the mirror url
www.spiritdaily.org which is not blocked.

Oops. I wrote refilled but that should be approved.

Actually they were doing it with Linux too, virtual servers can be a property of the web server e.g. Roxen, etc, have supported the feature for ages.
Ghostscript writes PDF with no problem...
Just use ps2pdf which converts from Postscript to PDF.
