It was the moment that Yahoo went from their Berkeley address to a.com. Anyone else remember when one would go to Yahoo to see if there was a new website up?
According to the article, two of the probes are on opposite sides of the solar system, so an unknown single body has been ruled out as a possible cause.
Public access? But that means that some people would be depriving patent attorneys of their fees, by searching through on their own! What kind of un-American idea is that? Normal people don't need that kind of information.
I want a completely vertical house, all rooms stacked on top of each other. There would be a firepole for going downwards and some kind of electric-powered rope pully for going upwards. Of course, I also want inflatable furniture so that moving in would be easy.
You're assuming that everyone lives in a warm climate where heat is a problem.:) As someone who lives in a climate where we typically only see +20 degreee temperatures between April and August, inclusive, I'm happy with all the heat that homes here can trap.

I love inflatable furniture. If it was more sturdy and less prone to punctures, I'd have my entire apartment done with inflatable stuff. As it is, I enjoy my chair, which can be stowed under a VW Golf's seat for easy transport.:)
Gee, thanks. I was just about to go to sleep. The thought that Rick Berman might be stealing ideas from Galaxy Quest is sure to be on the top of my list of nightmares tonight.:)
What's next, a living-dead former assasin, an almost-sex-slave, a spineless security guard and a disembodied robot head?
If only there could be a Trek show that doesn't involve Starfleet. I want to see a crew more like in Lexx (ie independant, flawed, and above all like REAL PEOPLE) than Yet Another Generic Enterprise Bridge Crew.
I thought all trekkie geeks have been waiting for when Kes comes back and gets it on with 36 of D.:)
We've come close to having that kind of scene, though. Wasn't there some alternate-universe DS9 episode where Kira was this evil black-leather-wearing security chief and had Ezri Dax as her personal assistant slash sex kitten?
Anyone familiar with the WWWF grudge matches and the like? I think a better new Trek series would be a season of Trek versus (insert other show here) live action contests!
Think about it! 26 episodes per year of the Enterprise being squished on the Battlestar Galactica's hull like a bug against a car windshield! Lyta Alexander exploding Deanna Troi's head in with a thought! John MacLean hiding out in Jeffries tubes, waging a guerilla war against the crew!
Maybe even some anime crossovers, for the truly geeky. Xellos and Q collaborating together! The Enterprise encounters the SDF-1! Wesley Crusher gets a 5-second guest appearance in Fist of the North Star! And, of course, the ever-popular Starfleet Shuttle versus Taurus Mobile Doll contest!
And best of all, HORDES AND HORDES OF REDSHIRTS DYING AT THE HANDS OF THE EWOKS!
I always throught that MS's ever-changing document file formats are a result of competition with Wordperfect, not planned obsolescence. Looking back, now I'm thinking you might be right and it's a combination of the two...
I wonder if standard USB hard drives could be used under PS2 Linux. If so, all one would need is to ditch the mouse or get a hub, and wouldn't need to wait for the 3rd party gear at all. All this kind of reminds of the NetBSD-on-the-Dreamcast story from awhile back.
Slashdot Mirror
Here's thePrivacy Commissioner's website. It's a little dry, but all the relevant current and proposed laws are archived there.
Industry: "Umm, sure, we'd be happy to archive 7 years worth of data, provided the EU pays for it."
EU: "Okay. How much space will that be?"
Industry: "Umm..."
EU: Okay.

Could be illiterate journalists. We've seen enough of that situation, too.

Gonna be kinda hard. There's only one Slashdot, and it's not sentient. Your revolution will have to wait a few years.

What's your classification, citizen?

As an old-school Gunbuster fanatic who wishes reversed e's were part of standard ascii, I thank you eternally for the link. :)
No, I really did mean the WWWF. I don't know if it's still around, but it was a website that had semi-weekly fioctional grudge matches.

Unless the characters use VR goggles or something.

I'm praying you forget completely about Voyager when you suggested this. :)

This could work.
Don't you mean south of Canada? Last time I checked, most of Canada was at a higher latitude than Detroit. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that downloading *is* a method of distribution.

Enlightenment? You must be insane. Window Maker is far more professional-looking and far less CPU intensive.
That's assuming, of course, that the new Director won't be even more of a fascist.
My god, I sound so cynical...
