(shrug) I couldn't care less. The important thing is that people continue to produce OSS and free software and Linux continues to improve. These organizations seem to be about 95% talk, 4% wearing cool penguin shirts, and 1% action. It's the programmers and product producers in the trenches that are doing the real work of OSS. Realeasing press releases and throwing public tantrams (and calling a book publisher a parasite) doesn't do anyone much good.

Stan Lee has a pretty good track record, and I for one am ready to see what he comes up with before I start bashing it. It's easy to take potshots, but I'd like to see all these flamers come up with one tenth as many memorable characters as Stan Lee has.
Don't Trinitrons have a shadow image of a wire going across the screen because of the way they're built? Others may be able to ignore such a "feature", but it would drive me up a creek!
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, I've never actually seen a Trinitron so I may very well not know what I'm talking about.

That the show was ended because Tom Servo is not Y2K compliant? Just wondering...
In all seriousnes, though, this is awful news. MST3k is my all-time favorite show.

Just asking...
We can combine the traditional 3d first-person shooter with a symbolic algebra package like Mathematica. We could call the game Wolfram 3D.

I've seen him on Disney cartoons. He's got four legs and he barks, there's no way he's a planet.

...who wants to learn German for the sole purpose of being able to get the latest version of S.U.S.E. right when it comes out? Ach, mein Leiderhosen!
I think I'll learn Spanish first, though, so I can finally understand all the lyrics on my Poncho Sanchez and Tito Puente albums.
