Another voice in support of iPhone + iSSH. Well-maintained, often updated app provides better-than-basic connectivity. If you really use it for work, expense the $10 (cheapskates!). If you really need to work long enough to tire of the screen keyboard, take more Admin for Bozos classes...
Oh well, this is Slashdot, I shouldn't be surprised. Let's try to remember, folks, as Brian says "You're all different" with differing tastes, different likes and dislikes. I know of some who wouldn't watch SGU just because they didn't like the Rush character, some who only became fans after the head-butt. The bottom line for me (as it should be for SyFy, or Hulu, or Netflix, or Roku, or Tivo, or Comcast, or anyone else expecting to make any money on distributing content) is this is one less show I'll be watching, a few fewer advertisers making their living hawking me their goods, a couple more actors waiting tables, one more step on the path to economic oblivion.
How can anyone expect to develop a following (in the age of ADD) moving a show's airtime and throwing hiatus everywhere? Not even capable of posting episodes in order? How hard is it to find both cheeks -- you have two hands!
I guess I should be happy; since SyFy's dropped the ball, as soon as my kids are too old for Disney Channel I can dump cable altogether.
Don't give up so easily, KingSkippus! I started on SG1 (in the "using Hulu to kill time" mode) even though I had seen many of them when originally aired, then went on to SGA (although I never groked the series when it was on)... I still liked SGU, and I'm sorry to see it go. One of only three prime-time drama shows (others: the Event and Fringe) that grab me from the current selection. So, check out the older series; there are a few gems among those episodes to satisfy any fan's craving.
Since the majority of us Americans can't be bothered to take an active role in our governing process, it should be no surprise that our representatives fail to do so as well.
I really find myself surprised I agree with a lot of what Spinner has to say here -- political cynicism, lawyers (don't get me started...), the slippery slope American democracy's on, but I don't think he's pointing the finger at the right folks, so yes, I'm modding him down...

too bad they don't have a vaccine against opening your mouth.

This is really much funier than most other comments. Sad the /. crowd missed it.
Mayers had a point, Yahoo needs the creativity inspired by water-cooler talks. Best Buy, well their point is hard to buy hats for...
our tech jobs put us in the upper or lower class?
polls don't reflect, well, anything but the pollster's spin.
Barr hired by Republican Party (or Fox)...
at NEXT, it was first initial last name -- no dot.
but how many CEOs can manage to change their passwords, assuming of course they can actually use a keyboard and set theirs in the first place?
if DC doesn't have IP there... well I guess they'd have gone after Cage already if they did.
OMG!! Roger, you are too funny to be so insightful!! be my permafriend!
If you're saying your computer systems are as important as a nuclear missile silo, your sysadmins are in need of a raise!
Xlnt sig!

sad to say, the world is hopeless and run by morons.

Darwin had the answer.

If the Zombies are after brains, they should steer clear of Washington, D.C.

Unfortunately, the only way to accomplish that mission is to eliminate the source. No, I mean the secrets, not Wikileaks.
just wondering, but it seems too appropriate to discard.
