If end-users weren't so hungry for features, the software wouldn't be so bloated, and the support wouldn' cost as much because there's less code in the product, thereby dictating that fewer bugs will exist.
The mere fact that a given program is open-source will NOT help. Their support bills will be lower because they get no support - at all - period.
The only benefit they will have over non-open-source apps is that the app won't cost them anything either.
A) I was kind of hoping we would see the development of the phase pistols. It's like he pulled these "new weapons" out of his ass.
Where did the technology come from? How was it developed and adapted for use? Why do they appear to only have two of them?
B) The soft porn was a bad idea. I think it would have been a lot more entertaining if they were either sprayed (with some uncomfortably forceful jets of gas), or totally immersed in liquid, or maybe be subjected to a robotically controlled sponging off.
C) The theme song was a waste of audio signal. They should have had something akin to STNG with a Bakula voice-over.
D) Blalock needs to learn how to become a Vulcan - you could see the beginnings of a smile when the little dog started humping her leg. I suggest that she talk to Leonard Nimoy, or the guy that played Tuvoc on Voyager. Hell, even Kirstie Ally was a better Vulcan in the Wrath of Khan, and she only had one shot at it.
E) Putting the log on hold to talk to yourself or your dog is a little bizarre, and an unneccessary quirk in the show.

Bad math. Are you related to Lord Bitman? He's no better at spelling ("parralell") than you are at calculating light distances. :-)
