Several jobs ago, the I did software development. The manager didn't like how every time I found a significant bug I added it to a test library that I kept and ran against every version of the code that I was about to put out to the group. His thought was "the odds of someone making the same mistake twice are non existent". One time he told me to put the code out before it was done the regression tests. Sure enough, crash and burn. And yes, my regression tests later caught the bug. Never again.
As a further indication that I was right, I put an interface around the public interface of my libraries to validate all the parameters and actions. I noticed some people would make the same error so much that I even personalized some of the error messages. Like: "Your passing a string instead of an address John", and "Your reading from a closed object Kevin".
I use several open source programs to do various tests, nmap and nessus mostly. But one commercial package that I use is WebInspect. Does anyone know of an open source equivalent?
Censorship we know about. Communist rule is more like an oligarchy, just ask Hong Kong. They rewrite history, just look at what happened to that former leader that just died. They threaten other countries, just look at Taiwan. They destroy cultural identities that are not their own, look at Tibet.
And for a wonderful piece of eye candy, JadZea Dax in the TOS uniform, my mouth was on the floor when I saw her in that uniform.
My favorite time travels from TNG: Times Arrow (Mark Twain), and All Good Things, the finalie.
But more than anything else, it has to tell a good story. I love the special effects and the eye candy.
But if it doesn't tell a good story, and compel you to feel for the characters, it just won't last.
If am amauteur goofs and gets the wrong color, or maybe points out something that is really noise, no one is going to really notice. If NASA goofs, on the other hand, everyone notices. Besides, the NASA people were also probably trying to find signs of fluid motion and stuff, the amauteur's were going for "cool" views.
But I must say to the amauteurs, GO FOR IT:-).
To me, Dax was always somewhat hot, but my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw her in the TOS miniskirt uniform. It really killed me when they killed Jadiza.
I wish they said how many hundred years. While I am not familar with the RORSAT reactors, the waste from commericial nuclear reactors is as dangerous as the ore it came from in between 600 and 1200 years, depending on how you measure toxicity.
Kermit, it wasn't fast, but I swear that protocol could almost talk through mud. I used it through terminal servers, over X.25, over DECNET, over a freaking IBM 7171 converter (anyone else remember these monsters?). I even used it to stress test a Sun to DECNET comm program (keep signing on back and forth between a and b back to a back to b back to a), and then doing a kermit file transfer. Easy way to simulate 40 people using the system simultanously. But a friend of mine has me beat, IP over kermit over a satellite bounce from the south poll.

You need tort reform where the looser can be forced to pay before this kind of nonsence gets weeded out.

> When did Dax NOT look hot?

I just rememember when DS9 had their tribble episode (More Tribbles, More Trouble?) and Dax had the TOS uniform. HOLY S!!!!!!!! did she look hot!
Can you imagine the virus you could write if you could change the instruction set of the cpu?
I get between three hundred and four hundred spams a day. I get, 50-100 valid emails a day. Thank god for Spambayes.
