BSG may not be the best acting in the world, but its a damn sight better than almost everything made before the 70's. Most of whats on TCM is just painful to watch, since its all so contrived and sooooo fake.
Then again, different stroke for different folks, I like BSG, I like Lost, I use to like Andromeda until the 3rd season. But if you want to watch American Idol, Survivor (Insert Location Here), and movies made almost half a century ago, well then I wish you the best. But I do disagree with you.
While I agree with your point that we should stop playing the blame game and just deal with it. I am not sure attempting to reverse what is very likely a natural cycle is such a good idea. This is not like building a new car or something like that, we may try to fix something that really does not need to be fixed and end up making things much worse, then where would we go?
Until we can travel to other planets we are kind of stuck on this one.
Be careful, the slashdot hordes will come down upon you for insulting the utopia that is Europe over the evil devil that is America.

To be honest I don't recall him ever doing that. They have on occasion brought up a site on the big screen, and pointed to a certain passage on a site. Most of the time they mention the site, as for the rest of the time it is probably just live TV screwups that happen.
I think on of your last sentence is probably the closes thing to being right. TechTV, and the people that worked for it (while not perfect or a saint) did try to do the right thing. G4 seems to go out of their way to be underhanded.

What kind of BS thinking is that? I could probably say you might have an argument (and that's a big might btw) about Kevin, but saying that Pat and Leo were up to a bunch of shenanigans because the company that they were once employed by was bought by another company that then ran the bought company into the ground, is just plain stupid.
Think of it this way, you work for company A, Huge company B buys Company A, you not liking what you are seeing about Company B leave. That Company then fires pretty much everyone that was associated with Company A. Company B is then shown to be a bunch of liars and thieves. Does that make you a liar too, when you were never part of Company B?
Now onto the kevin situation. From all that I read Kevin wants to get out of G4, but he is bound by a contract. Several times he has posted things that are not flattering about G4 on his blog, which have strangely disappeared later (guess who ordered that one). I get the feeling that Kevin wants out, he even gave up hosting the show (or he was pressured, no way of knowing for sure).
So in short you have an argument that G4 has done shady things, hell I would agree with you. But as of this point you have no proof at all that TechTV did anything shady, all you have is unsubstantiated conjecture.

Sorry?
Thats an intersting way to end a sentence when you pretty much call the man a lier. Perhaps you would care to eleborate on your hatred for Leo, and Kevin?
Perhaps you would care to give spacific examples? Pretty much every dark tip that Kevin did, he gave credit to the authors of the porgram. When leo did a segment he always referred people to the website of the program they needed.
Please go back to playing your video games and masterbating over pictures of britney sphears and leave the rest of us alone.
You know this is just getting ridicules. The conflict in Iraq is far from anything resembling a failure. Take a look at history, from major conflicts to minor ones. Name me a single conflict, that has had one country defeat and then occupy another for over a year, and taken just 1000 casualties?
I study history and nothing comes to mind.
I feel for the family's that have lost loved ones, every solders life is important. That's why the military analyzes the hell out of every conflict, every battle they have ever fought.
There are many people on Slashdot that just hate Bush, and Americans in general, those people are hopeless useful idiots and they will complete ignore the fact that American and British Planes(The French sent only one plane, that flew rarely if ever), were being shot at daily. That should have been enough to resume hostilities as it was.
Add to that Mass Graves, the support of terrorists (this is 100% true, you can't deny it), and you have a major wild card out their that you just can't have in a post Sept. 11 world.
I could go on and on, about the UN oil for weapons... err... food program, but I really don't see the point. You Europeans just keep on electing your little Socialist "take care of me cradle to grave" governments, and point to the US and complain how we are the cause of every problem in history of the world and we will sit over here on the other side of the pond and kindly ignore you.
But at that time, they were trying to do somthing that had never been done before (not to mention Government programs are not exactly famous for their cost savings). Now, we already know how to get into space, the hard part is making it economical.
If I had mod points I would mod you up. You are 100% correct, although the liberal and communist slashdoters can not bring themselves to admit it. They would rather believe that their was some vast right wing conspiracy, and that Bush "stole" the election, despite the FACT that no one has been able to prove that any election fraud happen at all. All we have is a bunch of idiots claiming a bunch of stuff, but whenever you try to press them for evidence, they always say "inside sources told me" but never want to say what those sources are.
Typical Liberals, whenever the facts don't back what their world vision is, they simply make stuff up, CBS would be proud.
I remember someone who lived in South Carolina, on the beach doing exactly that. He built a concrete dome, that had the actualy dwelling above the storm surge. On top of that he had steele reinforced concrete going to some ungodly depth, and at the touch of a button steele shutters could be deployed over every window in the house.
The problem is that his neighbors had a cow, and were complaining that his place should be torn down since it looked odd on the beach, and they claimed it was lowering everybodies property value.
Give it up, these pinkly commie liberals, are like islamic extremists, they are so convinced in their hate for Bush, that anything they do to get rid of him is justified.
Very simply. They go both get the parts they need as best they can and as cheaply as they can, and make a PC with them. It is still innovating, just not technologically, its an innovating buisiness strategy.
Exactly!! I would add to it, that it is very, very easy to make programs for Windows. So an app that would take years on a Unix machine, would only take months to develope on a windows machine.
I don't know how GE and Philips do their stuff, but in the systems that I work on, the computer that controls the actual X-Ray's and gantry movements don't use window's, its a custom, very stripped down version of Unix. We do use windows in several other of our devices, such as the imaging system. But if any of those systems should go down, the worse that will happen is a loss of image quality. The doctor will still have X-Ray, and Gantry movement, and the ability to remove the anything he has in the patient, or even continue the proceedure. It won't look pretty, but it will still work.
I can't imagine Philips and GE doing any differntly. None of the medical manufactures want to take a chance of putting something critical on a windows machine, and killing a patient due to a windows system crash.
Their is a problem with your theory. You think that the boat maker does not want to expand, and their shareholders don't want to sell anymore boats. In which case the boat builder will be bankrupt in a year anyway.
Much more likely, the boatmaker will take that money, and either expand his operations, or hire more people, in orer to sell more boats. Maybee by making them faster, or moving much of the manufacturing in house he can get the cost down, and sell even more boats, and the circle goes round and round and round.
If you had taken basic econimics you would know this. Its sad that Government schools don't teach basic economics these days.
Only idiots like you would compare the US to these terrorist peices of slime.
Really, the US bashing on slashdot has gotten out of control. You don't like anything the US does. Fine, we get it. You think that everything that is bad in the world is the US's fault. Fine you are entitled to your beleif.
People like you seem to think that nations like China and North Korea are better assets to the world than the United States.
Sorry to go out on a rant. But people who will sit their say how bad the US is, and how the United States is worse thing ever to come about, and then give a free pass to people who cut off other peoples knecks with dull knives make me sick.
Really some of you people need a little perspective.

No, but stupid wise cracking liberals are.
Films in the 30's having good acting?
Tell us the truth, are you high?

Even if the movie tanks, he will be remembered as the man that was so well endowed that they had to shink him digitally.

I though Don Davis was having some heart problems and that was some of the reason he didn't continue.

Oh brother, learn the law before you comment on it. The other side was given a chance for equal time to rebute what the movie says. They declined.
So their is nothing for the FCC to regulate here. What do you want them to do? Make a law up, just because you don't like Bush?
I bet you think that F/911 was a documentry don't you?
But at that time, they were trying to do somthing that had never been done before (not to mention Government programs are not exactly famous for their cost savings). Now, we already know how to get into space, the hard part is making it economical.

They could load a UAV up in Columbia and have it fly low into the US and drop off its payload somwhere on the route.
