    Its the first step in getting the greedy ass nations of the world to stop polluting. No wonder Bush is against it.

    No. Anything that is reacheable from our universe is, by definition, part of the universe.

    Your definition is wrong.

    oh wait... its kinda like getting your ass saved in a world war, then spitting on the graves of those that saved your ass a scant 40 years later.

    What world war happened in 1965?

    Of course we know you can't be talking about the second since you joined so late that Europe had basically won it by then. You may have help end it a few months early but that's it.

    grew up and started paying taxes like they do in civilized countries (ie, not the few pennies they do now) the problem would be solved. And those who don't want to be civilized can go live in the jungle somewhere.

    No wonder people are saying to heck with the internet. Spam, virii, worms, spyware, goofy OS problems ... My dad asked me, "What damn good is it?" I see his point.

  18. Re:BTEFNET.NET on New Battlestar Galactica Series Starts Tonight · · Score: 1

    The hard core scifi fans have already downloaded it and watched it, and odds are wont turn into the show.

    So the 3 people who happened to matter (because they are counted by the ratings people) are fans, but they are not fans enough to watch it again?

    Yep, that sounds likely.

    Dude: "Hey man, I really love this show and really want to see a second season, but I can't be bothered to watch an episode again so scifi knows I watched and will count me and multiply by a million. Oh well"

  19. Re:Why Did Europe get it 4 Months ahead of time? on New Battlestar Galactica Series Starts Tonight · · Score: 1

    Because the geeks who love the show and has a meter will make sure not to watch it - lets it get picked up. Yeah, that sounds likely.

    Why Did Europe get it 4 Months ahead of time?

    It wasn't Europe as such, only the UK. This version of BG is very expensive, and SciFi weren't entirely sure they should risc that much money - after all it might bomb big time. They came to an arrangement with British Sky channel - they would help fund the series, on the proviso that they could show the series first.

    And so it came to be. Of course it will ultimately be US ratings which determine the fate of the series.

    Showrunner Ron Moore has started a blog where he comments on each episode - here is his comment on Why 33 ?

  22. I don't get that on New Battlestar Galactica Series Starts Tonight · · Score: 1


    If someone (with a ratings box) becomes a fan of the show, he'd want to see more of it, so he makes sures to watch it when it aires - he makes sure that his vote is counted as it where. But if it someone who tried it and hates it, he wouldn't have stuck with it anyway, no?
