The year it moved to 10 was also the last year the Nielsen ratings didn't adjust for demographics but just reported on "total viewership". Had it gotten the exact same rating only a season later, it would've been one of the biggest ratings hits ever.
People who pirate music, movies, and software are freeloaders who get bitter when the free ride is taken away.
I thought that said "...who get bittorrent..." Of course, I'm currently "pirating" Fedora Core 2, and having to do so over http because nobody on the torrent is sharing. >:-O
To stay on topic, though, kudos to UPN for keeping on what has turned out to be a decent program (I have watched each episode from the beginning, and was amazed with the quality the show has attained this season). B&B need to be fired, though. From a cannon, preferably.
when the series reaches its end, few of the actors will ever be able to find work again. Well, Harry Shearer can always go back to Spinal Tap or The Folksmen. But Yeardley Smith or Julie Cavner are never going to find another job. They damned well ought to milk as much money from this cash cow as possible.
The same as humans, give or take. The title, I'm guessing (since I haven't seen the film), comes from the tlIngan insult (which I'd write in tlIngan Hol if I remembered it), "He has water for blood," meaning that someone is weak and cowardly.
Klingons don't usually drink water if there's anything stronger available.
Among the many benefits claimed by tvturnoff.org is that 90% of the people who participate in a TV Turnoff Week successfully reduce the amount of television they watch permanently.
And this is a "benefit" how? And don't tell me you people have lives, you're reading/.
Seriously, though: it depends on what you mean by user-friendly. If you mean works just like Windows (i.e. running as superuser by default, LookOut!-style e-mail running attachments by default, etc.), then yes, security flaws are inherent. These generally stem, however, from the inherent regular/super-user problem that single-user OSes like Windows exemplify.
On the other hand, if user-friendly means simple to use, then no, security flaws will not be the natural result. Just look at the current state of the KDE project for proof.
You'll need lcms AND liblcms to go with it (if you use rpmfind.net, get liblcms-1.11-2.i686.rpm, since the Mandrake liblcms1-1.10-1mdk.i586.rpm will conflict with the lcms package from littlecms.com)
Congress asked NASA to compute how much money they'd need. Unfortunately, one of their scientists mistakenly converted dollar amounts to pesos early in the calculation, and the amount was never converted back.
Why do OS converts, Mac evangelists, and Linux gurus always sound like religious fanatics? Computers are wonderful things, but they should not fill any sort of philosophical, spiritual, or political void in your life.
Well, one of the reasons I am a GNU/Linux user is that the GPL is much more in keeping with traditional Judaeo-Christian morality.
While reading/. with lynx, I tried to navigate to the linked pdf document. Not paying attention, I tried to open rather than save the file, got a binary file display, and had to use the back key.

In related news, the Darwin Awards for 2005 have already been announced ...

You can pipe an image through cacaview, and screencap it with The GIMP.
"SlaSDat" would be a better spelling. Or maybe "SlaS'Dat".

then Windows would be user-friendly, no?

MICRO$~1 apparently either doesn't care about trademarks (ha!) or they can't make a cogent argument against OO.o
Neither did apt, hence my earlier post. Thanks for the heads-up.

Like in the Dilbert strip where the PHB wanted to fire the bottom 10% of employees, which eventually resulted in firing Wally's hair.

I think virtually every LUG does installfests with some frequency. The one I was affiliated with did them every other month.
... unless it's the trailer that they cart you off to prison in. There's no release from it.
This is already happening

Well, I thought it was funny, anyhow.
Voila! You're a Canuck (Canudd?)
the C3NT1P3D3 worm that takes out half of corporate America's computer systems.
Mine said the same thing. Definitely planned.
Works in konqueror, too. Someone must be using IE (motto: "You can't spell 'compliance' without 'liance'.")
