This reminds me of a proof-of-concept model built by by Dr. Emmett L. Brown, except he was capable of creating greater acceleration using only twenty-one gigawatts of electricity, and he utilized flux-capacitor technology which did not require overhauls after every use.
Apple has choosen not to unveil Leopard until after Vista ships (June-ish). They don't want MS running their photocopiers this time. Any new Apple computers will probably wait until then.
The Democrats are going to have to suggest some ideas for this "another way" you mention. It's not enough to simply say "your way sucks". You need to offer better ideas, or the Dems will get thrown out as soon as people sick of their mind control potion.
Pay close attention to how many detailed, concreit ideas the new majority actually has vs. grandstanding and rhetoric. So far I've heard one alternative from the Democrats (withdrawl) and one from the James Baker(R) study (negotiate with Syria and Iran to secure the region). Pick your poison.

Because there will come a point when storage becomes cheaper than bandwidth. And as my Computer Sience prof told us on day one "You are responsible for your own storage. Anything left on the mainframe can be deleted without warning"
Never make the mistake of trusting that the data you prize is important to somebody else. They delete, you have the problem.
There's nothing stopping the mentally challeged lawyers at Universal from doing the very same thing to the fansites promoting the new Galactica. In fact, those websites would be doing themselves a favor by raising awareness of this action.
The new Battlestar Galactica series is popular and has good ratings by cable standards, but not great ratings by new. The season premier got a 1.5 share. The CBS evening news pulls a 5, and CBS is embarrassed by the low rating. So there's some perspective.
Sci-Fi recently encouraged fans to "Make Galactica #1" with a spread the word campaign. Sound familiar? Kinda like what the Browncoats were encouraged to do?
Next year the marketing machine for Star Trek will ramp up to promote the new TOS based movie. Do you think they might reach out to the fans? Do you thing Paramont might be desperate for some old school Trekkie action? Perhaps it would be stupid for Paramont to sue fan sites, biting the hand and all that.
CrackedButter wanted to see the webisodes. He's outside the US so SciFi is blocking him. I told him where to go see them. I solved his problem and you choose to flame me. That says more about you than it says about me.
I guess you're telling me you never watch anything on Youtube. That would make you a very minority opinion.
Your laptop overheats. Windows sucks. Sorry. Try Linux.
Go to Youtube.com and search for "galactica webisode" and you'll find they've all been posted. If you use the Firefox browser, you can install the Videodownloader extension and that will let you save youtube videos to your harddrive.
So say we all.
I have 2 of Roger Dean's "Views" books from several years ago. I buy books on art and design quite often.
I was saying that album covers used to have more visual impact due to their larger size, and this was understood by artists and designers and inpired higher quality work more often.
There have been some cool CD package designs, without a doubt. Tool has been mentioned several times. But their sterioscopic packaging was not a standard CD enclosure. Tool understands that standard CD packaging sucks.
One of my favorite album covers was for ELO "Out of the Blue". It was a 2 record set, and the cover unfolded to form a poster roughly 2 feet wide. It was a great image and the large form factor allowed to listener/viewer to study the details. It was one of those covers that just made you say "F-ck, that's cool!"
Cover art is a visual medium, and size is an important factor in it's power. Artist freedom is also an important factor, and the sad fact is most (major label) CD covers today are done only after very detailed instructions from the marketing deptartment have been written, reviewed by a series of managers and publicists, and then some underpaid digital artist works up half a dozen mockups. A semi-final design is choosen and focus group tested. The design might go through several cycles like this before a final is choosen. The marketing machine has sucked all of the life out of the creative process.
One thing I've missed with CDs is the smaller form factor has led to less inspired covers. Less Detail. Fewer painted covers. It's an art that faded away without nearly enough notice. Replacing cover art is most cases are vanity portraits of the artist or band, with poor photoshop work to tie into a marketing theme.
If vinyl makes a comeback, I hope new talent following the footsteop of Roger Dean take up this opportunity.

I'm sorry. I know it must be rough for you right now. We're all here for you.
You might also notice the iphone doesn't ship until June. Sounds like the iPhone will run Leopard.

Sounds like that's where the party is at.
Well, that MIGHT be enough to keep Kirk away....
