No. The reason they use Dinosaurs in their ads is that they have resorted to Ad Hominem to try and sell thier product. The simple fact is that the price-performance of office CAN NOT compete with OOo, abiword,... , which are becoming viable alternatives. IMO these ads are purile and offensive.
I'm not sure Fox understands much at all. The littany of good show Fox has killed is truely stunning. (all the while they leave this reality TV crap on the air..)
What the hell?!?!! That theme was great. Well, mostly great. If you hear Joss sing it...... yikes.
The Enterprise (AKA Star Trek:The Berman Tragedy) theme on the OTH, made me cringe if I didn't have it TiVo'd. That was truly painful. Actually most of the show was painful, but thats a different thread.
I assume your refering to Star Trek:The Berman Tragedy, and the "New" Dr. Who?!? I've only watch a few of the Dr. Who's and, so far, they suck. As for Enterprise.... bah... It makes me sad that you think that crap is good sci-fi..
Or maybe it was the direction some of the actors were getting, but B5 had some of the worst acting I have ever seen(*). IMO to the point of making the show hard to watch at times.
(*) The only acting I can think of that was worse was in that B5 spin off. I can't think of the name of the show. Or maybe Lexx. That show truly blew.
Bulllarky about the major telecoms.. I work for a major hardware supplier (we make the MSM's that go into most CDMA cellphones), and I am specifically working on implementing IPv6 in our software. It is the major telecoms that are pushing us to do it, not the other way around. (One starts with a V... the other starts with an S..)
They want to start rolling out services that will require full time IP connectivity to EVERY phone. If you start doing the math thats a major chunk of the IPv4 address space. Their only option is IPv6. IMO the major telecoms are going to be the FIRST folks to adopt this wholesale...
Name one right the government has taken away from you in the last 4 years.
How about the fourth amendment. Go read the patriot act section 213 for more.
I swap computer support time with a guy airport, for time in his airplane (Cessna 172). I've flow across the country a couple of time on this alone. I'm a certified pilot, so he just throws me the keys... (he even pays for the gas.. )
That will (might) make the equipment useless to them, but it will not stop them from taking it. There is some level of satisfaction gained from having screwed the guys that are screwing you, but in the end you still get screwed..
If you have nothing to hide, then you won't mind this body cavity search either right?
-or to take a step back-
If you have nathing to hide, you won't mind if we put cameras in the bathrooms right?
With the state of legislation these days EVERYONE has SOMETHING to hide. Most laws are written by folks who think "their way is best", and through force of law feel the need to cram it down the throats of the rest of us.
There are many laws that I think MOST of us can agree on: murder, rape, etc...
There are far more laws that MOST of us don't agree on: prohibition of drugs, abortion, j-walking, etc...
The first defence we have against the "stupid" laws is some level of privacy, protected by NOT having to submit to this kind of intrusion..
Put it on the ground and hit it with a brick!! If you hit your self in the head with the brick you'll disable the transmitters they put there too.. Remember to keep hitting it until the "lights go out"...

You can't figure out how to turn on the TV?
I call shenanigans. This is crackpot pseudo-science. gravitophotons? gimme a break...

god wish I had mod-points... Thats the funniest thing I have read all day..
Better acting?

Just don't stick your head out the window.. You'll burn your face off...
Bah.. You forgot..

... and as caravan points out that should be:
x = 7200 KiB/s * sqrt(1e9 / 6.5e5)
x = 282,407 KiB/s..

There's a cheaper/healthier (but not necessarily easier) solution to that problem. Quit your vile tobacco habit...
I think the problem here is that the Enterprise song (IMO) sux rocks. Cheesy, commercial, 80's hair band, love ballad crap.
The Firefly song OTOH has a western, screw authority, edge to it that fits in nicely with the whole theme of the show.

You can get the foot pedal, and use that as the shift key. I never could get used to that though.
Duh...and this differs from the space shuttle how?
Well, for starters, it leaves quite a trail of radioactive waste behind it... As it uses NUCLEAR BOMBS for thrust...
Now stop calling us fascist or we'll stop letting you buy our beer!
MMMmm... Molson. Is that Canadian for Budwiser?
I hope thoes pages are satire.. Its hard to tell though.. If it not youve found yourself a real nut job..
