Doesn't explain why it never happened in Linux, which I spend the majority of my time using. I was more suspicious of DirectX since it happened most often in 3d games.
I think it needs better leadership but could still be good. Sure it'll cause questions like yours for past stuff but they could just start out and say "OK, no using any of the omnipotent races, any technologies introduced have to be integrated into the show as it goes along and no particle of the week stories" and stick to it. Then we'd see better writing and a decent show. The Star Trek universe is full of really fascinating stuff after all, it just has been shoveled on screen without much thought a lot though.
This is exactly why I found Enterprise so disappointing. They had a perfect opportunity to start of with a clean slate. They could have had a ship and crew with Warp engines and nothing else. Maybe some kind of railgun/mass driver with some nuclear torpedoes and good old fashioned slug throwers for side arms. Then as you go along they develop or acquire tech like phasors, photon torpedoes, shields and all that. Focus on the characters, their gritty determination to bring humanity to the stars. That was the show I wanted to see.
They show I saw (well I only watched a couple of episodes) could just as easily taken place after voyager instead of before kirk's time.
Oh, well at least we got BSG. Though I wish BSG had the special effects budget that Enterprise had. Maybe next season...
Yeah, that has been my experience as well. Not sure why, but I've had a huge amount of trouble with XP. One system had a virus that could not be detected by any scanner, required a reformat to fix. Another one had a worm that that wasn't detected that required me to delete various files and registry entries to remove. I had a system that had no internet connection at all, inexplicably power off occassionally while running linux (doubt it was a hardware problem since it never happened under linux).
Win 2000 is a bitch to set up (searching for drivers being the hardest part), but once installed its much more stable. I installed in on my mom's computer (along with firefox and thunderbird, and made sure she used them) nearly 2 years ago. I haven't really touched it, But everything still works, only maintenance it needed was the routine updates.
Why not? Microsoft knows what version of windows you use, they know what hardware you're running (thanks to product activation). Why is it so unreasonable to think that microsoft doesn't know your email address. In fact, if you're using MSN Hotmail, then microsoft does know your email address, now don't they?
Again, I don't see the difference here. Are you saying that the rich don't have a lot of control over our lives?
I'd like to encourage you to visit Cuba for yourself, unfiltered. Walk to the streets and talk to the people. Don't take tours; visit the place and see what it's really like. It will be an eye opener, and you might even change your mind on a few things.
I would encourage you to do the same in any number of poor urban areas in capitalist countries, but you'd likely end up dead. Seriously, I have looked at the pictures you linked to an it is remarkably similar to some of the nicer areas of downtown Kingston, Jamaica. You don't see pictures of those places, because, well f you go there people will steal your camera. Even the police are afraid to go to those places.
The problem is quite simply poverty. It's not because the people in these countries are stupid or lazy or because of communism or capitalism. If it makes you feel better to think that the people of cuba are poor because of communism or fidel castro or whatever, then fine. But, I'm gonna tell you right now, the reason why some people are poor and some are rich is simply because you need to have money to make money. The rich nations have all the money and they aren't sharing. It's as simple as that.
How much of what you say is because they are communist, and how much is because its a poor nation? Rundown neighbourhoods, people complaining about the government, rules against prostitutes hanging around the tourists, efforts to keep the tourists on the resorts and away from the poverty. You just described every carribean nation, capitalist and communist alike.
Except you can't walk around the ruins in say, kingston, jamaica because you will be robbed and likely shot. You know in Jamaica the police have actually taken poor people away from the resorts and dumped them off in the middle of nowhere to keep them away from the tourists? This stuff happens whereever there are resorts. Its just that cuba is safe enough that you can walk into the poorest areas and walk out alive.
Those ruins you see in Havana? News Flash, dude, thats how 90% of the world lives. And they will continue to live that way so that you can have a nice little home in suburbia, drive your SUV to work every day, and be able to afford a vacation every year where you can be shocked by how poor some people are, before flying back to your nice affluent suburb.
so I don't understand why Google has to broker all of this stuff on their servers.
Never heard of the slashdot effect? Well if everyone is using this, it will eliminate it. Google downloads the site's content, everyone downloads from google, site stays up.
Maybe he did... At one point chewie is going nuts, throwing stormtroopers around and boba fette is about to blast him and darth stops him. Maybe he was doing it to protect c3po?
Right, Science answers the question of "How?" and religion answers the question of "Why?"
Problem is that for a long time religion answered all the questions, and if you didn't like the answers they gave you'd be burned at the stake. Some religious people out there (not all) prefer the old religous answers to the "How" questions, because they are much simpler the scientific answers.
Also science doesn't really give definite absolute answers, as science is all about the process not
These people just don't Get It. And since they look at their beleifs as being absolutely true, they won't back down. Doesn't matter how much empirical evidence you show them, They are absolute in their beleifs.

OMG u r so awesome, you have teh maphack!
u r so right they should mak a whole book about maphacks. I mean there are so much to talk about. Like: How you type "DAOC maphack" in google? how to click on a link to download the file? and how to run the installer (I could never figure that part out) Maybe you can help me can you tell me how to install the maphack so I can be cool like you?
Microsoft would have to make a very painful decision at that point.
"Here General P. Fault, we have created a special version of word that is able to use the open format. This special version is only for the DoD, and not for all the other idiot-, err, consumers, as we want to force them to continue using.doc format."
That being said, I think MS will support this document format, although not as the default. I think they see the writing on the wall and realise that their core OS/Office cash cow will be eroded away over time, which is why they are focussing on other areas now (like gaming).
They already teach you not to plagiarize other peoples work, which is really the same thing
No, its not. Plagirising is passing off someone else's work as your own. It's lying and stealing the credit from someone else. Then there is the copyright violation.
This is a tricky issue. Yes it is wrong to pirate (or infringe on copyright or whatever). But then the entertainment industry has done some illegal things as well. There is a lot of grey area here.
Problem is that kids are very impressionable and they look at things in black ind white, good guys and bad guys. If the pirates are the bad guys then the recording industry must be the good guys, right? Problem is that the recording industy breaks the law all the time (and then buys their way out of it).
IP issues are very messy. So messy that lawyers and judges have trouble making sense of them. The boy scouts should be above such an ugly issue.
Well it seemed to me like 2 monkeys was a pretty good representation of time travel up until the end. The time travellers were sent back to try to find the source of a plague so that the scientists of the future would be able to find a cure for themselves.
I think in one scence they told bruce willis not to bother interfering, but to just get them information.
The end was really good, but I'm still not sure why he was told to try to stop the disease from being spread. I always thought that the guy who gave him the gun at the end was acting on his own and not from orders from the future.
All and all it was a good movie and worth your time viewing, even if you may not like the ending for being off.
Of the (what, about 33%) population that voted in the last election, BARELY over half voted for Redneck Nero. There's a good percentage of us, too, that call bullshit on his playing "Army men" with real men.
Doesn't that make it worse? That means over 67% of the population of the US either support Bush outright or didn't see enough of a problem with his administration to take twenty minutes to go down and vote for someone else.
Less than a third of your population sees Bush as a problem.
Well if there was XP64 on the shelf at best buy or wherever, a lot of idiots will think that if they get that their system will be 64-bit, not knowing that their processor is 32-bit only.
but where do you draw the line? ok, fixing one typo doesn't get me copyright sharing, but what if I rename some variables? or optimise just one non-critical function? Kind of a grey area, isn't it?

Yup, They came up with PG-13 because a lot of parent's complained about Temple of Doom being too dark for just a PG rating.
