There are very few science fiction series that I like, with Farscape being one that I HATE. I like the Star Trek series (Original-so so, TNG-soso, DS9-so so, Voyager-love it, and Enterprise love it a lot) and I LOVE the whole Stargate epic (movie and series). I'm really picky when it comes to my sci-fi and now that I'm totally in love they are going to rip it from my arms?
The last time I felt like this was with ROBOTECH. Remeber the whole series, I was so in love I bought the whole book set and read each and every one of them. I still have the books.
Why GOD, why? We had a deal. Please keep Richard Dean Anderson, we love is humor.
This just gets me mad! I can't wait until we can stick it TO THE MAN! I swear the the DOJ and MS are in bed together with their settelement. IT IS A CONSPIRACY! Public proof that Microsoft is a monopoly trying to squash the competition. If the DOJ doesn't do something about it then it will come back around to bite MS and DOJ in the ass.
I see a lot on what case to use to minimize the eye carnage when you web a PC and your living room, and also I've read on what OSes to use. But what I have not seen is a comiplation of software to use.
I want to be able to: * Have TIVO functionality * Play my MP3s * RIP CDs * Download multimedia files via broadband inernet * Manage my downloaded and existing media * Be able to copy a CD without having to use my PC * Play DVDs * Listen to the radio * Record radio shows (I like talk radio and Art Bell) * Be able to transfer files to and from my PC * And most of all, BE SO EASY TO USE MY PC-ILLITERATE WIFE CAN USE IT!
I think I have the remote control problem licked. I have a Philips Pronto T-1000. Probably the best remote control you can have, but I know newer versions with RF exist. Mine is IR only, but that is fine, I want my HEPC for one room, for now.
I can build the PC, I know how to install Linux perfectly, but want software will let me do all of the above and probably more in one cohesive GUI that can be controlled with a remote control. Keep in mind, again, that I can do A LOT with my Pronto remote control including creating macros.
Yeah! Top Gun is good for a jet fighting movie, but a real live action movie with transforming mecha and battle pods is cool!!! With today's special effects it could easily be done.
Just imagine a live action scene where Rick Hunter is in his VF1 trying to catch Minmei as she free falls. Rick has to manuver the arm while he is in Guardian mode to catch her and keep a hold on her. Then we all know that he can't and ends up, if memory serves me right, opening the cockpit and getting her in. All this while free falling.
Maybe someone is forgetting something about marketing. If you give the people tidbits and they bite, then they will come back for more with $$$. Look how the Linux market is working. For instance, look at my experience. I've learned to code from pirate development software. There is NO way I could afford these prices in the THOUSANDS. But now, I am familiar and very good with these products and I recommend to by superior to purchase these products so I may develop applications from them. Through my company I am spending more money than I would have if I had never used their product.
I may still use illegal copies at home for personal use so I may learn more, but I do use these publicly I will be definitely have legal copies.
Finally, someone has spoken up. I say AMEN! HALLELUIAH! AMEN BROTHER! RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON!
I consider myself a hardcore web coder because I learned using NOTEPAD, remember that as your editor? I still code these days using ColdFusion Studio. I don't use a bullshit WYSIWYG Frontpage/Dreamweaver editor (btw, Dreamweaver MX in code editor mode kicks ass).
I have developed application sites that HAD to work of multiple browsers and versions. It was a nightmare. These nightmares using happened around Netscape. For years I was a Netscape worshipper and a IE basher. Then I saw the light, and it BURNED! I was pulling my hair, kicking chairs, and cursing like, well, being Mormon and never cursing I think I had a good reason because of Netscape. If you want to get me mad make me code for Netscape.
We had to make things work for both browsers or just don't use it. Sometimes we had a great idea and it worked perfectly in IE, but NS didn't support it. Today I have turned myself around. I bash NS and praise IE. Netscape users can go F*CK themselves dry with a brillo brush.
I am finally happy to be at a company that standardize on IE 5.5, which 6.x will be on the corporate horizon soon. Things work fine, great features. Anger level is lowering.
I know everybody is praising NewEgg, in fact I just ordered the Soyo SY-KT333 Ultra motherboard, which is FANTASTIC. But, do not forget the other great online vendors. Being from Houston, Texas I also have the luck of two local online vendors: Axion and Directron. Axion as some absolutely great prices, in fact I'm going this weekend for more parts, and Directron has some great deals also, though sometimes not as good as NewEgg.
I would always prefer to buy locally in case of any problems and for instant gratification. The local Fry's takes months to get in line with the rest of the PC market.
So in summary, you cannot go wrong with NewEgg in terms of price and customer service. You might pay a few bucks more than the lowest of the lowest prices, but it is worth it. Customer service is great! Do not forget other great vendors such as Axion with great prices for many many things and Directron for their inventory and prices also.
HA HA! OMG! I do remember Z-modem, it was sooo much better than X or Y modem because you could resume a Z-modem download. It helped when you were downloading warez and some IDIOT picked up the phone, it took about 1 hour per 1 megabyte on a 14.4 kbit. THE GOOD OLD DAYS!.
Ha ha, remember TOMCAT BBS software!
That was the long-waited for ending????

OMG! That ending was CRAP! Okay, I liked how they basically did a summary of the whole series. But, the last 30 minutes was nothing that I already didn't know. Yes, they did have an open ending, maybe Dana's baby is the savior (ie Christ Child) and Dec 22, 2012 will be the day of reckoning. But, I still hated the ending. Didn't they learn anything from the ending of Seinfeld??
I still have bad dreams to this day. The blood, the BLOOD man, that's all I see night after night. I would play Counter-Strike every night, staying up late, getting to work late, ignoring my wife. I finally uninstalled Counter-Strike, Half-Life, and all the mods. I went cold turkey about over a week ago, but I still have the chills. Only time will tell when I've been cured.
I did have file sharing off, and the directory I was sharing was pointed to a only had mp3 (again, didn't matter because I hard sharing off). I woke up Sunday morning to find that 3 documents had been uploaded from my computer. These 3 documents were nothing special, just some PDFs. But I double-checked to make sure I was not sharing. I knew there had to be a bug, so this Monday morning I read this information, I just feel alot better knowing I'm not going CRAZY. I usually turn morpheus off unless I need something or WANT to share something.
HA HA! I actually still have some transformers left from the late 80s and early 90s. I stored them in my sisters garage over 10 years ago, and now my nephew plays with them! I had tons of them, my favorite was the CONSTRUCTICONS. The construction vehicles we cool by themselves, and they came together to for CONSTRUCTOR!
The TI-89 is the best you can have because the TI-89 and up are not allowed in college exam rooms, that's why I got the 89. And yes, I did use it to put a few notes and formulas I just couldn't remember. I have yet to learn how to program for it, but when I used it in class all the ppl thougt I was a genius because I always had the answers. I told them I was using the calculator, not to cheat, but so that I new what the target was for the problem. I told them that I actually read the manual and that's how I know how to use the full potential of the calculator.
YES, I AM A RARE PERSON BECAUSE I ACTUALLY DO READ THE MANUALS OF ALL OF MY STUFF BEFORE I USE IT!
I would love to use Linux as my everyday desktop, it even has cooler looking window managers, but I hate to admit something, and I know I will be flamed. I believe that Linux is great as a server OS for web, news, file sharing, and more, but not ready as a desktop. I consider myself a power user and have spent the almost the a whole month trying to convince myself that I should switch to Linux as my primary desktop, even went to far as to install VMWare for those M$ and banking software I need for windoze.
BTW, my favorite wm is Enlightenment (ROCKS!) though KDE is very usable, but not quite there yet. As a desktop user I need a good DVD player, and a better file manager, even though I think Konquerer is on the right path.
Don't think I'm anti-Linux, I have Mandrake on my laptop and on my PC so I can experiment and still do some personal testing and convincing, but W2K still is my primary boot option in LILO.
It is not an inbound flight, but rather an outbound to the Dominican Republic. An eye witness describes the explosion where the wing meets the body of the plane, the armpit where the wing meets. The explosion does not seem to appear in or by the engine. Please standby for more information.

Maybe you are all spending tooooo much time looking on Slashdot. I look at it once in the morning, the next day I see what I missed by looking in the Older Stuff section because I have a life during the daytime.
I agree with psychalgia, when I first saw the intro I was shocked. Then into it I sorta liked it, but then after it ended I loved it. I can't get it out of my heard either. I searched the internet to find out who did that song, which was Rod Stewart. I think it's a cover song from Susan Ashton, or she covered it from Rod Stewart. I don't know, but I do know that I found the lyrics and I love the song. I can't get it out of my head.!!
BRAVO!!!! That is the most concise and logical explanation to date that I've heard that could shut up any conservative or liberal about scientific spending. Our country is where it's at because of people's umlimited imagination and the freedom to think openly. Our country is at the best at ALMOST everything. But we can get better by funding research that will payoff in unforseen exceptional ways.
Okay, I LOVE stargate and there are TONS of episodes that are great, but the one that really pushes the show along and takes a lot of stress off of the SGC team is knowing that they are not alone in their struggle. The episode: The Fifth Race, reveals more secrets from the Asgard. If you haven't seen it, SEE IT!

I'm sorry, but beer taste like something I pissed. Can't anyone else, besides me, smell this crap!
I'd definitely do it!
I'd buy that for a dollar!
