I have been a trekkie in my younger days and I still enjoy to watch re-runs:
one thing is for sure:
there is not going to be an "uber-show" like Star Trek in the forseeable future. maybe some smaller shows with a couple of seasons before the authors run out of ideas - not a whole "universe" of shows with spin-offs which run for decades.
A co-worker wrote an email to another co-worker of our department (on a business trip in China at that time) that his desk at our office is being cleaned out.
yeah, thats really annoying. personally I don't get those music stations with DVB-T (those are the most affected with about 18 minutes ringtone commercials per hor). but those ringtone ads made it to the musical background noise in a department store:|
One thing I observed is, that US television shows less commercials per hour than german television. And the breaks are shorter. The stations can show max. 15 minutes of commercials per hour here, but the media watchdogs regulary bash them for showing too much.
this is much worse. It never happend to me (I live on the continent) and I hope that it will never ever become popular here, but you can never trust those bored and ringtone-buying half-grownups.
I have a cronjob to start beep-media-player at the current playlist item. works quite well. but it happend once or twice that the playlist was empty -> no music:)
If you need to be rescued you may have caused some trouble (police, fire fighters, paramedics, hospital,...) and that costs money. So a fine to cover those expenses comes handy.
IANAL, and to do that they need a legal background (law).
Some people don't want to be rescued, but the state (read: officials trying to help) can't just go away, because that might be something like assisted suicide.
companies like Six Apart have an actual product and a weblog platform for people that can't setup their own.
selling the weblog/cms software, sponsored links or banner-advertisements on weblogging platforms seems to be a decent concept. compared to the dot.com bubble with companies without an actual product to sell.
The default font in Windows looks really nice and is very readable for such a small font. The way fonts are rendered in windows is not that bad and in some ways better than under X11.

Slashdot Mirror
is the Real ID a standardized national drivers licence or a national ID card (with biometrics) !?
/me for example. but I don't live t3h USA)
what about people without a drivers licence?
(yes, like
you can get rich by solving famous mathematical problems:

I'm sure there are other prices for cracking crypto-problems and/or factoring large integers.
Amazing! I didn't know that there is any science in Star Wars ;)
first thing: do I have to know Orson Scott Card?

It's a new release of a known OS and nothing brand-new, so I don't understand the hype around Tiger.
Quite a few webloggers made a real hype and countdown to the day Tiger release day (at least over here in Germany).
for the record: I'm not a mac user.
but I have no spouse ...
Finally I can do something useful in the summer months ;)
meh. weird suits ... is there anyone who actually would like to work on that ship?
why not use a old oil drilling platform instead of an old cruise ship?

expensive services for expensive IBM products? ;)
they can service my IBM keyboard. it's dirty...

he most likely still has to proof-read them if a student is not happy with his grade.

sneak in and take stuff?
yeah right.
you still had to pay for songs in pymusique. this is not stealing/theft. pymusique enabled to buy music on itunes instead of only renting it.
I don't really understand the need to fit scientific arguments into the scheme of the bible. like those 7 million/billion years (instead of 7 days).

this stinks too much like ID and Creationism.
Bad
USD 30 is more than ok for a long flight (6+ hours). if you can't be without internet on a flight within europe you need counseling ;)
Lufthansa (or any other airline) would need to pay me per hour if they allow others to smoke. Good thing it's banned.

it's printed like that on the O'Reilly sponsored FOSDEM plastic bag that I got there.

I bought a 'be quiet' power supply. I don't really hear my box anymore.
not over here in good old germany.
DSL is only sold with a landline telehone contract. Cable isn't widely available as well.
the telco/isp regulation agency hasn't done anything against that situation. the last mile is usually still owned by the Deutsche Telekom as well.
I, for one, disagree.
the characters look a little too wide.
