  1. Re:You're not alone... on 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled? · · Score: 1

    Hey, that's not fair! We're supposed to get the good stuff first!

  2. Re:Rick Berman and Star Trek on 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled? · · Score: 1

    This is certainly Enterprise's best season, and if they had kept it on Wednesday, it might even have been salvagable. But putting it against SG1 sealed its fate.

  3. Re:Sad if true on 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled? · · Score: 1
    but it's not gonna get replaced with Babylon 5, BattleStar Galactica


    But why can't it be replaced by Stargate SG1/Atlantis? I agree that we need good SciFi, and Star Trek & its offsprings have been the flagship shows since Picard took off towards Farpoint Station (how many decades ago was that?). But Enterprise jumped the shark, and while this season it may have jumped back to the right side of the shark (?), few people without a dual-tuner DVR will notice it against SG1.

    Oops! Er, it wasn't me! Someone else borrowed my machine! Honest!!

  5. Re:oh man on Has TiVo's Fate Been Sealed? · · Score: 1

    Your "announcement" is early. It's over 2 months until April. :P

  6. Re:DirecTiVo / CES on Has TiVo's Fate Been Sealed? · · Score: 1

    Yes, and I've heard that they'll be upgrading the software on existing Series 2 DTivos to include folders. Though I wouldn't hold my breath for HMO or Tivo2Go.

  7. Re:TiVo has two things going for it on Has TiVo's Fate Been Sealed? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't have first-hand knowledge of other PVRs, but I've HEARD that they don't have Season Passes, Wishlists, or Suggestions.

  8. Re:oh man on Has TiVo's Fate Been Sealed? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The only reason Microsoft didn't kill Quicken is because the government wouldn't let them buy Intuit. If they had, Quicken would be dead and we'd all be using M$ Money, no matter how crappy it is.

  9. Re:Question on Looking Ahead to Tiger, Powerbook G5s · · Score: 1

    The difference is that OSX is actually worth $129. Windows is barely worth $1.29.

  10. Re:64bit is new in OS X Tiger?! on Looking Ahead to Tiger, Powerbook G5s · · Score: 1

    So, Tiger will run on my new iBook G4?

  11. Re:Let's get these out of the way... on Backing Up is Hard to Do? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    In Korea, only old people backup.

  12. Re:Now all we need... on Smart Guns are Coming · · Score: 1

    How did I know that the beating I stopped awhile back wasn't roleplaying, S&M, or whatever? I just knew. Luckily, I didn't need firearms, but I'm sure the woman is glad I didn't let her BF beat her for the 15 minutes it took for the police to arrive.

  13. Re:Asimov's 3 Laws ("I Robot" spoiler) on Ethical Questions For The Age Of Robots · · Score: 1

    IIRC, the robot had the 3 laws, but the brain damage made them less reliable. The guy made a threatening move towards the robot. It defended itself (3rd Law), but lacked understanding of the fragility of flesh & bone.

  14. Re:ethics vs good manners on Ethical Questions For The Age Of Robots · · Score: 1

    The question is will they be "people", or just sophisticated machines? We won't know until they actually exist (and perhaps not even then).

  15. Re:I'm bored, so here are my answers... on Ethical Questions For The Age Of Robots · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was going to say something insightful, but I had to take a pee-break, and now I forget what I was going to say.

  16. Re:Best? For whom? on Ethical Questions For The Age Of Robots · · Score: 3, Insightful
    If homo sapiens is replaced by silicon sapiens, is it really such a bad thing?


    It is, if you happen to be a homo sapien.

  20. Re:that's bad on Sun Unilaterally Revokes the FreeBSD Java License · · Score: 1
    And unlike the GPL, which can be said to infect software, the Java license contaminates you.

    Only if you're a politician.

  22. Re:Is anyone still using IE? on Extremely Critical IE6/SP2 Exploit Found · · Score: 1

    I'm stuck with IEEEE (scream intentional) at work. It's either that or NS4, and NS4 chokes on too many sites. Some people are still using it at home, but I've talked a few people into switching, usually after IEEE foobared their machines.

  23. Re:Now we use IE6 and XP only for banking on Extremely Critical IE6/SP2 Exploit Found · · Score: 1

    I have 3 different banks, and all of them, even my 3rd rate B&M bank, work with Firefox. One good internet bank is www.netbank.com

  24. Re:Term "free software" hijacked on Being Free is Hard to Do · · Score: 1

    I think it's unfortunate that RMS used the word "free". Everyone hears that word and thinks "free beer!". I prefer "open source" for that reason. "FreeBeer" software has a problem in common with proprietary software; if the developer loses interest, you're SOL. True open source software, whether GPL or BSD is different, and IMO better, than mere freebeer ware.

  25. Re:No offense to everyone here on TiVo Moves to Bypass Cable · · Score: 1

    Personally, I watch 24, Stargate SG1, and Stargate Atlantis, among others. 95% of TV is crap, but Tivo helps me find the other 5%, including shows that air when I'm asleep or at work.
