, not once has their moralizing and humanness not saved them, and otherwise everything is just too pleasant.
Not to mention that the last episode was the what number'ed time the whole entire "go down to rescue stranded dudes, turns out they had an insidious secret" plot-line has been used IN LESS THEN A YEAR?
Yeesh.
The intro/still/ sucks, and I couldn't give a shit less about how much the characters, though I do kind of want to STRANGLE them all.
Oh yes and the set designs. Compared to ST:TNG which is just comforting to watch (set designs kick ass, great color scheme), err, enterprise, well, heh. sucks.
"What are you going to do? Program a holographic doctor?" An obvious poke at those who watched voyager. It's stuff like that which makes Star Trek interesting.
I groaned when I heard that line, the lameness filter was off the scale.
Ignoring the big huge plothole of "so this engineer dude knocks up holograms complete with personality and ship wide movement capability in his spare time while in then takes the federation another what, FIVE HUNDRED YEARS to get to the same point???"
Yaaah, err, suuuure. Bleh. Fucking lame man, continuity is one thing, and I don't give too much of a damn about it, but a 5-freakin-hundred year continuity fuck up? That is to large for even my grammer poor self not to bitch over!
Positivly fucking KICK ASS!!! Great movie, lots of action, COOL fucking story line, GREAT special effects, loved it all the way.
If the next TNG (har har) movie turns out to be as good as the TNG (ok now that is just getting annoying) movies so far, I'll be more then happy to go see it.:)
I read a rumor that this was going to be the last of the ST:TNG movies, period.
Actualy I realized that given how old the actors are, that yah, this likely will be the last movie.:(:(:( Sad really, last of the good Star Trek stuff, end of an era and all that. Between voyager and now enterprise, ST has been, err, well not ST as of late. (as of late refering to the last, what, 5, 6, 7 years now???? my word has the suckage been going for THAT LONG??? !!!!!)
I say it is about time to take a hit out on that asshole producer of the current series. . . .
Jar*2 expands to 2Jar Jar^2 (or (Jar)(Jar)) expands to Jar Jar
Err, no.

eeeeewwwwww, the system is actuualy/usable/ at all crippled like that?
A game which still looks modern and can be stored and run in a total of 16MB of storage. Magic.
Feh, I've seen better.:) Look at many of the NeoGeo games, heh. Not to mention that when you are working on Consoles in general that 16Megabytes is considered to be a lot, remember that cartridge consoles measured games in terms of megaBITS, so many of the n64 games would (I think?) fit into 16megabytes of ram quite easily. ^_^
Shop for cut roses next Feb 13, and see if you feel the same way. It's enough to make a bachelor like me want to build a hothouse in his back yard, just to have a reserve of flowers ready on demand.
Rose bushs are fun, had to cut the ones in the yard down though, got diseased.:(
Either you do not know what you are talking about, or you are trying to spread fud. If the CD is left in the drive, Windows 2000 puts a prompt on the screen that says "press any key to boot off the cd". If no one presses a key after a few seconds, the windows installer exits and allows the machine to boot off the hard drive as usual. No loops.
Which is a nice, unless you have the CD set first in the BIOS, in which case sometimes shit happens, and sometimes it doesn't. I have seen win2k go in circles without any buttons being pressed on boot.
Linux has automatic hardware detection, not for the spankig brand new hardware but on most hardware that is a few months old linux picks it up easily.
Nice thing about windows, even if Windows does not recognize your stuff, it likely can at least tell you what sorta stuff it is and either install minimal functionality drivers for it or give you some hint as to where to go to get the actual drivers for it.
w00t.
There are/some/ things though that Win2K/SHOULD/ have built in support for that it doesn't, such as generic BT chipset TV tuners.
Of course the stupid thing is, they don't normally ship these CDs in the retail boxes. You get the same Win2k CD that was released in 2/2000 without any extra CDs with updates.:(
A-freakin-man, I ain't TOUCHING SP3, I'd rather get my ass owned by some script kiddy then hand my box over to MS. . . . .
Funny thing about Win2K install, if you aren't careful, it'll keep on booting from the CD again and again and again and unless you go into the BIOS and manualy change the boot order you could spend awhile wondering why windows isn't completing setup. (especialy if the person doing the install is of the type who doesn't read the screens and just keeps on clicking OK, they might not realize that they are going in circles!)
and should give Adobe Premiere.... a run for their money,
Ever used Premiere? It has one thing going for it, namely, err, it is Premiere. Sucky interface, slow as dog crud, and I have seen CLI video programs there where more user friendly then Premiere is. . . (ok so they where a bit more limited in task, but then again considering how long your patience is likely to last when/using/ premiere, don't count on actualy getting much/done/ in it. . ..)
but also requires custom hardware or more resources.
Err, after the (insert number here) Gigahertz systems with up to 3GB of RAM, what the hell are they running that cannot be decently emulated on a high end consumer PC?
I typicaly glug down quarts or half gallons of fluid at once, err, heh. a few 8oz glasses of water at once? Nothing to it.:) I may spread it out over the day but. . . . bleh
What is up with the use of the phrase "cook until done"???
Seriously, err, what is 'done' per say? I end up cooking hamburger meat for ~20 minutes or so until it is brown all over, what does 'until done' mean exactly? In each particular case?
I end up cooking scrambled eggs until they are all stuck to the bottom of the pan and have to be scrapped off, or until they are smoking and burning up to a crisp.
Why to so many cook books never actually describe what 'until done' is for each particular type of food? Even better, why not a more analytical cookbook that says "keep turning them every 3 minutes for about 10 minutes, a minute or so less if you like your meat rare or a minute or so more if you like it extra-well done"
From what I have seen (spoken to?) speech recog pretty much sucks now days, unless you are one of the lucky ones to have one of those 'special voices' that computer speech recog likes. . ..
As I have stated before in these types of articles, until speech recog can get over 95% or so recog on untrained voices, (or heck, I would like it if it could get 90% recog on my voice/trained/. . ..) these sorts of applications of technology are going to be very limited in scope.

Yes?

Depends, certian types of flowers can stay alive even after being cut, and can even thrive and take root!
Key is to choose your flowers wisely.
And besides if you cannot appreciate the texture of a flower's petal. . . bleh. Iccckkies, sad scary life!
If you like flowers so much, dont you think people/the-city should plant them around at various places - and then just leave them there???
Umm, yah, flowers that are given away are bought from nurseries, heh.
Well of course purning too, a goodly number of nice flowers that would otherwise be just thrown away can be given away instead. ^_^
Shop for cut roses next Feb 13, and see if you feel the same way. It's enough to make a bachelor like me want to build a hothouse in his back yard, just to have a reserve of flowers ready on demand.

Well, ummm, you have a go then. Particularly at the 1996 stuff - you have a P75 and 8Mb, render a 3d texture mapped scene at 20fps.
Am I the only one who had to play quake on my 486?
Yes?
darnit I feel lame, heh.
I still have the disks laying around here someplace I think. . . . :P
So fucking what if sending flowers is stupid? If it makes your girl feel loved, well, mission accomplished.
What is up with males? I swear to God I am embarresed about my own damn gender, are we all really that bleeming stupid?
Flowers == kick ass. Period. They look lovely, they have a great texture to them, and they are a wonderful symbol of life itself.

What has ever stopped a corporation from doing something profitable, but unethical?
.
A lack of working willing to do the unethical?
A corporation is made up of people, if the individual people (or just enough to not make the task possible, heh) REFUSE to do something. . .
bah, a cynic would say that any population willing to build its own prison if paid enough money to do so damn well deserves to be imprisoned. . . .
