No, that's "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow", Jon Pertwee's favorite catch-phrase.
At least they didn't take it seriously. There's a bit in "The Invasion of Time" where Tom Baker stops, looks directly at the camera, and says, "Even the sonic screwdriver won't get me out of this one."
Warning! Danger! There are rumors of an american re-make of Utraviolet. If they screw it up as badly as they screwed up "Cracker' we're in for some real pain.
BTW, Jack Davenport, who starred in "Ultraviolet", was just in "Coupling", a BBC sitcom that's airing on BBC America. Funniest thing I've seen in years.
There is no such thing as a "cheap smart card reader/writer".
Sure there is. A quick Google search found: K3 Samrtcard reader for USB $184.95 or these smartcard readers from $49.
I've got both (the W2K box is the gateway for OSX box) and I can't believe W2K won the interface match. It seems to take three times longer to do any kind of configuration on W2K. Go fig.
most importantly hardware support
Really? Then perhaps you could tell how to make the damn thing work with a USR Sportster WinModem?
I upgraded my sister's PC to Win98 last week, so she can get USB support, and now every time we re-start, the stupid thing forgets about the modem and we have to re-install the drivers.
Hardware support my shiny metal ass! It's a U.S. Robotics Winmodem, fur crissakes!
I worked with these things in their infancy, back in '87-'88. The cards may be secure, but the readers ain't. At that time the reader was connected to the serial port (now I would assume a USB port) and it turned out to be a trivial matter to watch the serial traffic on the line, and then re-create it without the smart card or the reader. Oops!
Huh? Your math is squewed. When you average it out, maybe it's 1 person per 7 sq miles, but 80-90% of the population is centered in the urban areas. The population of Southern Ontario alone is 9-10 million. Then the greater Montreal area, the greater Vancouver area, and you've got most of the population.
e-mail her resume in.doc format
So here's a dirty trick: Save the document in RTF format and change the extension to.DOC. M$ Word will open it automatically. Works great from StarOffice; I can't see the difference.
More like 'Rollerball'. Norman Jewison was asked why 'Rollerball' didn't do well at the boxoffice when it was released in the early seventies. His reply was that he thought most people didn't believe that corporations could rule the world. I wonder how it will play now, with the re-make coming out in a couple of months. I just hope McTeiran doesn't butcher Jewison's original vision.
Remember how QuickTime VR works? You take a bunch of normal stills and knit them together to make the panorama view. IPIX uses two 'fisheye' lens pictures to create the panorama. Two different techniques to get the same effect.
IMHO, QuickTime VR is a nicer approach, because you can use any camera, but the fisheye approach is quicker.
Klingon into Unicode? I knew those people were obsessed, but that's just asinine! Fictional languages shouldn't even be considered, where would it end?
I have to agree. Between the babbling and the commercials I hardly hear any music. Radio is better in Canada, too. Ottawa has (had?) a great FM station, Montreal supposedly has a great FM station, and Toronto has the mother of all Alternative stations, CFNY, which now calls itself "The Edge" unfortunately.
Ever hear the Rush song "Spirit of Radio"? They wrote it as a tribute to the early days of CFNY.
I saw the ads for those in the in-flight magazine last week. The Bose Headphones are around $300, but you can get the same kind of thing from Brookstone for about $90. And they really do work!

I'm a fan, does it show? You should play Mindprobe on SciFi.com. There's a collective groan every time a Blake's 7 question comes up. Hardly anyone there knows it. (I remember bits and pieces>)

Cool! The T3E is kind of dull-looking, compared to the 'classic' Crays, but the SV1 looks great, and clusters!
(Go on, someone say it)
"What are we going to do tonight, Bill?"
Was anyone else suprised at the number of Crays on the list? I thought they had been obsoleted years ago, when SGI bought Cray. Obviously not.

Nah. How about "Pyscho" Steve Jobs vs "Maddog" Steve Balmer?
Balmer really scares me, it's like he's high all the time.

Yeah, but it's not at political protests, only after Vancouver or Montreal wins the Stanley Cup :)

Great, but could these micro-bursts of light send someone into an epileptic fit, like those Japanese cartoons used to do?

Here's a link to a review page of seven different commerical panorama software packages. I'd say IPIX has a bunch of busy lawyers.

So was barbed wire, I think. The idea had been around for a while, but the manufacturing process was the clever part.
