On fox, I don't remember his name - but the reporter they had for the tomb/icing-on-the-cake "We will most likely find something one way or another so watch this" seemed like quite the prick. He kept interrupting Hawass - For a few minutes there, i wanted him to lift the cover on that sarcophagus, throw him in, and seal it back up. Then I figured that poor 4,500 year old dude in there would have to remain in eternity with some ignorant westerners white ass decomposing on top of him. Just didn't seem right. But there is a newfound room in the pyramid we could stuff him in.;)
Emerich wanted to do three Stargate movies. Indeed, as late as last year they were discussing a second stargate movie with the ORIGINAL CAST, completely disregarding SG-1. I think it's finally had the door shut on it.
I really like stargate, and the boxed sets of the seasons are nifty (They need a few more features, like the star trek DVD's, IMHO, but otherwise they're great). The movie is coming out in a special edition (higher bitrate, DTS, more features, etc) in October.
Actually, I thought they were going to end it either the end of this season (No, the season has NOT ended yet, no matter what sci fi wants you to think - It's only HALF over - SciFi Wants to spread it out a little, since they may only get one season) or add one more season depending on viewer demand. Then they were going to do an SG-1 Movie which would set the stage for Atlantis. Infinity will have no impact on the stargate universe - it'll be a standalone, unbearable kiddie show. Not like the kinds we had when we were younger like G I Joe or Transformers or whatnot, but more like power rangers and the new transformers.. the cartoons that just reak of "Lesson of the week" type stuff.

Star Trek in the Roddenberry era was all about humanity. The ship was just a vehicle. Nowadays, its gotten pretty formulaic. Most of the Q Episodes after the first two were always good for a bit of lite philisophical entertainment, but damn near everything else was.. egh.
Roddenberry is doing a friction-free 200000RPM around in his..err, space-urn.
One of my leading questions is.. i can deal with the technology differences.. but how are they going to segue into using those god-awful tunic's as the unforms?
There must be a retro-look from hell... the 1960's will be in style again.. in 2250!
Mirina Sirtis, in real life, seems very short when it comes to star trek. I remember going to a convention where she was.. Her overall impression of it was "I've been typecast. I'll milk it for everything its worth but i dont have to like it".
Then again, she could have been feeling the emotions of her aunt flo that day.
Consider for a moment that it may not be that there is nothing else going on in the world, and that it is simply the fact that its because people are sick of hearing about what IS going on in the world.. for the past 12 months its been Israel this, War on Terrorism that. The distractionary group we USians are, we need a new outrage every so often or we get bored.
Meanwhile, on the back page, the conservatives are tapping your phone.
Peeing WHITE?! WHITE?! If you pee white, please go see a doctor - you're pipes are crossed somewhere.
Usual color scale: Clear.. okay. Light Yellow.. okay.. Thick lemonaide yellow.. drink water.. Tang Orange.. Someone slipped me some pyridium. Red.. time to see the doctor White.. WTF?
I've had 17 Crowns and 11 root canals. I tend to regard myself as an expert on end-user dental experience. (Before you ask, it's a dental condition called maliogenesis imperfecta, not bad tooth care). All my baby teeth were crowned, too.:P
I've experienced what you've experienced. My dentist, who's extremely good, worked on one of my top front teeth about 6 months ago. No matter how much novicaine he pumped in through the gums or into the bone (intraosteal or something) I could still feel pain. I went to the endo in a hurry - they couldnt get it numb either. I had to grin and bear it as they drilled through to the pulp chamber and anesthitized the root. Most rightous pain i've ever felt.
And i've never felt the initial stick of the needle for more than a couple seconds.. its that nice pink crap flavored goo they swab on your mouth.. topical lidocaine, or something.
What *IS* the deal with geeks and cows? They're not exactly intelligent, graceful creatures, and they're not even that nice looking. I mean, compare a cow to, say, a nice white horse.
We'd have to, of course, relocate some people. For instance, how could we allow bush to stay in washington? That's in the liberal-but-not-greenpeace section of the nation!
Maybe we should let the south seperate? I mean, all the conservatives could have their backwards, broken, primitive nation full of fundi christians, and all the liberals could have their progressive, broken, but modern nation full of, well, liberals. We could just break the states down by geographic area into a gradient of government types.. the far north could be the extremely liberal, tree hugging libertarians, the mid-america region could be your moderates, and florida could be filled with george bush fsck-the-constitution supporters.:)

Using your analogy, the CIA's advisor would be a rabid muslim fanatic, pushing to convert the entire world to Islam from within the government.
Perens didn't exactly have a objective view.

Linux runs on my urinary tract - front page news, 5000 comments.
MacOS runs on Linux - Apple section (? I dunno, i have everything on the FP) and the statement "but why...?"
I'm tired. s/headline/story/g

I'd go and take classes in whatever interested me. Possibly become a doctor of something. Then dedicate my life to helping others*.
(Note: Getting revenge on those that bother me, such as religous fundies, classifies under "helping others".)
Apparently pain isn't something researchers are concerned about.
My greatest health fear is becoming a diabetic and having to inject myself, test my blood, etc. Needles and I do NOT mix.
This is like a WMD against the ant community. (Then again, so is a shoe).

Klingon Blood in Star Trek 6 was pepto-bismol pink to maintain the PG-13 Rating, IIRC.
Vulcan blood has always been green. They usually go to lengths to give a greenish-tint to the skin of vulcans too. And, on TOS, Mascera.

First two seasons of TNG? Weren't they always the same intro? I mean, aside from the changing credits and the "Stream effect" on the logo itself..
Then again i didn't become a TNG fan until i was 10 or so... in 1990. So i missed the first two seasons on initial run.
BTW, search kazaa for the Enterprise Alternate opening. it rules.
Except, on enterprise, phlox's anatomy will be re-arranged entertainingly each week due to transporter malfunctions.
Who went on to play the Klingon Commander in Star Trek: The motion picture.
And, IIRC, he had a cameo in ST: FC before he died (Looking up at the landing ship)

Its not sun-fire only - the enterprise four-digit servers are where you start getting those features.. USII.

And it has to be the sparc arch.. sorry
