Be care ful with that statement...I have fixed a lot of machines that people let their "family nerd" try to fix.
Well then they obviously took it to the family "nerd" because they didn't have a family nerd. One with the expereince and skills (not ego) to know that if he/she can't, it truly is broken (and be able to tell why that is for a reason other than he/she can't fix it).
It will be hard to bring Sisko back, but there is not really a need for that. His role diminished as the series went on. I'd say let Avery Brooks direct, he did some good episodes.
Seriously? You think so?
Jake: (turns a corner in a hallway sees his father standing in front of him) "Dad! What? How?"
Sisco: "The profits, Jake...my path with them has brought me back here to you because..." (and thus the movie/adventure begins)
AMD will release their Turion64 X2 dual core processor pretty soon. But I am impressed with the Intel CoreDuo. It does not seem to be (and is not) the POS that their first "dual core" processor was.

I was against the concept of a camera in a cell phone for a longtime.
After I got a phone that had one, I started to think what it would be good for. I figured it was a comfort to have it in the case of an accident.
Sure enough, I got into a small fender-bender in a parking lot. It was completely the other person's fault (they backed into me), but they later tried to blame me! Luckily, after it happened, I snapped some pics on my phone and sent them to my insurance company and theirs.
The photos show clearly where my car was and where their car was. My insurance company didn't pay a dime. I received a check from theirs.
So I don't think convergence in this respect is a bad thing.
I here some faint digital "chatter" in the background, such as noise caused by the hard drive (or so I thought). I still hear this chatter on my Shuffle without any moving parts, so this leads me to believe that its a hardware issue.
I will certainly agree that as far as sound quality goes, the Shuffle is definitely an inferior product.
However, I am not an audiophile (you people scare me:). After using my Shuffle over my 4G iPod for several months, I was amazed at how good the 4G sounded when I went back to it (same headphones). Though there are things about the Shuffle I like, it definitely isn't the audio quality.
It's a January release. One of the traditional Hollywood dumping times when people are generally watching football and such and not going to the movies.
Come on, Stargate writers, it's time to reveal the stargate to the public.
For all of the extras with small speaking parts and such that have been on the show in the past 9 seasons, it seems like the entire world must know about it already!
Given that GSM is the defacto standard in Europe and many other parts of the world, and has covered a lot of ground in the US in the past couple of years, I think it's safe to say that GSM (and TDMA by extension) isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Yeah...I never really thought the day would come...
Then again, like you said, "Microsoft uses apple dv kits for the xbox 360 and IBM power pc chips."
Maybe Steve, in his infinite wisdom, figured that whatever Microsoft is doing has to be wrong and has thus taken the opposite approach.
Of course (and one can only speculate), Mr. Jobs had NeXtStep ported to x86 back in the day, and even used a Thinkpad running NeXt for a while when he first came back to Apple.
So perhaps it's not that Steve is anti-x86 at all, but rather the Mac zealots are...Not to worry though. If anyone can bring them back in line, Steve's patented reality distortion field can!
But the rub there of course is that if you buy two off the shelf...well, you could have had five issues (counting the bonus one) for only five bucks more!
This is what stops me from purchasing magazines at the bookstore. I figure that if I really want to read one issue badly enough to buy it, I should just subscribe.
By the time I get home, the impulse has passed, and I usually don't subscribe or spend the money.
If you want to get a better idea of what it takes to restore a mighty Saturn V, I have on my website an article from the December 1996/ January 1997 issue of Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine an article that details the efforts involved in restoring the one in Florida.
The same company is being tapped for the Huntsville Saturn V and I would imagine the one in Texas, also.
The Google cache of the first page (my poor little website can't afford a Slashdotting) can be found here and the second page will load from my site, but at least I've cut my load in half.
People should read this.

I've previously had AT&T TDMA service and Cingular TDMA and switched to T-Mobile (GSM) a year ago.
They have been, by far, the best cellular company I've dealt with. Their customer service is great, as is their reception, pricing, phone choice (The T610 has excellent Bluetooth support).
I just finished with my contract with them, but I really have no intention on switching.
This would have been an informed post, but there was a link to a video of the guy discussing the paradox of choice, a link to the article about the book, and a link to an interview with the guy in the video who wrote the book that the article was about......so I couldn't decide.
You can get 802.11b routers for 20 bucks AR now (and why bother with g if it's a tip-jar method).
Further, it probably doesn't even require $500 for a PC capable enough to do the job...if you have any computer shows in your area, you could probably just pick up an old (but reasonably loaded) PIII box for ~$100-$150.
With those kinds of prices, the coffee shop should go for it!

but I'd much rather go to a symphony hall or a Loreena McKennitt concert.
Yeah, if only she would hold concerts! I haven't seen dates listed in ages!
That's certainly another good approach. But I have no TV, so it wouldn't work for me...
Which one did I just dump on Saturday: Blockbuster
Which one did I just pick up (again) : Netflix
If that represents the trend, the guy's wrong. If it doesn't, I just posted virtually useless info!

You should reserch before you respond. Intel has admitted they reverse engineered AMD's extensions for their own chips.
Intel didn't reverse engineer anything. AMD and Intel have a cross-licensing agreement in place. Intel simply implemented AMDs spec.
AMD will release their Turion64 X2 dual core processor pretty soon. But I am impressed with the Intel CoreDuo. It does not seem to be (and is not) the POS that their first "dual core" processor was.

But I do not know this "chatter" you speak of.
It's a January release. One of the traditional Hollywood dumping times when people are generally watching football and such and not going to the movies.
Of course it's bad.
Come on, Stargate writers, it's time to reveal the stargate to the public.
For all of the extras with small speaking parts and such that have been on the show in the past 9 seasons, it seems like the entire world must know about it already!
I can see it now:
Director: "Action!"
Sly Stallone: (unintelligible)
Some kid from the observation deck: "Hey, it's Rocky!"
Director: "Cut! Dammit! That's the 8th time today!"
oh yeah...I'm sure it will be a really popular place to film movies.

In their (limited) defense, the feedback system is one of the better things eBay has to help keep you from being had.
...So as not to defend them too much though, yes, they definitely have a lot of work to do in regard to security.
You checked the feedback on the guy (as everyone should but not everyone does) and decided it wasn't legit.
I'd say that's a plus to eBay!
Ralph Johnson was my professor for two semester when I took UIUCs CS Senior Prject course the year before last. Pretty good guy! Very laid back.
Good book, too! Well earned, I'd say!
That's right Cendant! In honor of Amazon.com's 10th Anniversary, we're celebrating by making special deliveries.
For you, it's a lawsuit!
Now sit back, releax, and enjoy the concert!
Yeah...I never really thought the day would come...

Yeah, 4GHz is enough for all users for all time...right along with that 640k of memory I have in my computer!
To self: how could Bill Gates get a Mac in 1983?
Self: Well, self, the Mac came out in very early 1984 (January 24th to be exact). Microsoft was one of the earliest developers for the Mac.
To self: Does that mean that they could have had development Mac units in 1983?
Self: Indeed it does. Indeed it does.
But the rub there of course is that if you buy two off the shelf...well, you could have had five issues (counting the bonus one) for only five bucks more!

I'll second the vote fore T-Mobile.
I've previously had AT&T TDMA service and Cingular TDMA and switched to T-Mobile (GSM) a year ago.
