^^^ I'm not so sure. Robert Wise was GREATLY disappointed by the DVDs AFTER he finally saw them according to some. Of course, I could be wrong. However, considering the horrible quality of the 'new' ST: Motion Picture I would stand by my assessment. And I could go on and on about the current crop of 'Box Set" DVDs as they are terrible, expensive, and full of crap FX (my "fav" was where they took out a lovely matte painting in favour of a crappy CGI shot of San Francisco... just rubbish). You seem to see the wrongs I saw too. So why are 'collectors items' so poorly done? Because they aren't. So don't buy them.:)
Well I'm not surprised by a racist Trekker. Have you seen Enterprise? It's one of the most racist shows on TV. So when I see 'Solly cholly' I can't but think this is normal for unthinking geeks with no idea.
Look... Paramount has been pushing out horrible DVDs of all the Trek movies. The 'directors cut' of the original movie with new FX? CRAP! So bad the director will not comment on it. A revamping of Trek 5? No says Paramount, tell Shatner to shut up. etc.
All the while, a perfectly good and far cheaper set of TOS (TOS means "The Original Show") DVDs have been around. Remastered with all scenes restored. A fantastic collectors item. Well, can't let people have a good thing! E Gads! SO I bet these will be lost from shelves just like everything else. Since these were a good deal I guess I had to be punished? Sheesh! What am I? A mench?;p
Seems Paramount needs to make money somehow since all thier new Star Trek is nothing more than the worst crap on TV.
Message to Paramount and the rest of the so called 'entertainment complex'. You have cheated me for far too long. Now, I have a Net connection and I intend to use it.
... hmm. Considering Micro$ofts business philosophy and the state of tech markets in general - one might conclude the USA has abandoned technological superiority for a monopoly on tech instead.
"...Personally I think it's great that they recognize talented individuals and reward them well." Yeeeaaa... that's been the M$ employee experience. NOT!
Maybe this guy was successful because SUSE is an actual solution to business technology?
... because America has been supporting and putting into power dictators in Central America, Iraq, etc.... because America unsigned it's 1972 ABM Missle treaty (the one that stated no nukes in outer space).... because Ronny Raygun got away with laundering dictator money through cocaine pipelines into East L.A.... because America says it's a friend, but never helps ANYONE EVER. No one. Ever. Thanx Bubba.... because America created 9/11 (the mossad isn't fooling anyone)... because Rwanda was a holocost the Americans made happen (America just didn't have any 'interest' in Rwanda).... because America murders more people than terrorists could dream of.... because this is what America is really about. Money, oil, and power.
I just bought an Edsel with fins and white wash tires and it's SO cheap! Can't wait to show off this baby to all the chicks in town. Boy, am I cool for having something this modern and fast or what?
Anyone want to buy a Delorian? It only has 50 'flux capacitor' years on it.;p
OK, OK, I stand corrected. Can't believe you're working in the rain... weird. It just sounded off. Can ya tell I'm sensitive to corporate plants making phonie posts on/.?
... isn't one. It's just a market bubble created by hyping crappy tech and getting [b]TPTB[/b] to fund the implimentation of computers into ever aspect of life.
The medium is the message.
Now that this has been done, the jobs will go abroad to stimulate corporate 'growth'.
Soooo, if you have wasted the last 10 years on technical support, web developement, and dreams of actual bandwidth... move to India and get a job luser.;p
^^^ rich boy. Other people have to work for a living jerk. BTW, there isn't a capenter on the planet who would hammer nails for 10 hours in the rain. Shows you are NOT a carpenter and never were.
... that if someone comes up with a brilliant new tech in thier 'garage'... someone will destroy them, steal thier tech, and assimilate them into the monopolist market place.
create new voting system --> make it easy to cheat --> hey, make it digital so an idiot can cheat --> call it 'progress' --> election is stolen.
Easier than putting all the Floridian black folk in jail then getting your pals on the Supreme Court to vote you in. Besides, the 'chads' didn't pan out last time.;p
can't do anything (?)... but come into your home and arrest you. Which is what is happening because the Net is now (more or less and getting less each day) a commercial market place - not an exchange of minds.
I think the lawyers do get it and they want a piece.

Things that make you go hmm?
(after an hour looking for conn problem)... what sort of modem do you have ma'am? Modem. You don't know? ;p
My thoughts exactly. If the FBI are the copyright police I gotta wonder what the police do.
You might be right. But I'm confused... where is the FUD in this scenario?
"...Personally I think it's great that they recognize talented individuals and reward them well."

... because they just knee-jerk post jokes to stories like this one instead of reading the article and adding to the discussion as if they were funny.
... I expect the Yanks to mod this post down to Flamebait and Troll status.
The decline of the American Empire will be interesting reading when the smoke clears.

... we would be 20 years ahead technologically.
Micro$oft is a marketing company... mostly.
Let's see... I paid $4000 or the computer and a hefty monthly fee for the highspeed aDSL connection - and I'm sued for stealing.
Stealing something off the Internet.
Hmm.
Anyone see the logic break?

That would be life in the "good ole USA" pal... other countries aren't so quick to rob and loot thier citizens. Though it's a trend I admite!
... that if someone comes up with a brilliant new tech in thier 'garage' ... someone will destroy them, steal thier tech, and assimilate them into the monopolist market place.
... you know, that's how we still do it in Canada, prolly because it works and oh yea - it's tied in with all that democracy stuff.

Note to everyone - Buy a Mac or load that PC up with Linux. Hey, can't one get the MacOSX onto an Intel chip? Was just thinking... why not?
^^^ LOL! That's SO funny! Reasons! :D

??? You realize 3D computer games are the FIRST driver of tech, code, and sales right?
:)
Fun first... business last. That's how everything developes (because the zombie like suits and Corporations can't create these things).
Juuust sayin'
