I thought that the show was a nice change of pace from the previous spin-offs. I wasn't cheesy like the first episode of TNG. And if someone who had never watched a Star Trek episode/movie the vulcan thingy *was* necessary. The opening theme was also a nice change. It gives you a feeling that its taking place closer to present day. I'm sorry to here 'michael' didn't feel it was all that good. I thought it was *the* best Star Trek pilot to date. I think it will probably be a very successful show. I have but one problem. I keep expecting to see Dean Stockwell popup out of no where and start talking to Capt. Archer!
As far as KDE and Gnome have come in the past couple of years I still can't watch ads on ADCRITIC or Naked News or Even listen to just any internet radio. I realize that some of these problems are licensing issues but it's still a problem. Much of it stems from the fact that Konqueror, a quite capable browser, isn't recognized by servers. The 'enhanced content' is only transmitted to the client if it says it's MS-IE or Netscape but it says it's 'Mozzila' and even if it's using Netscape plug-ins the servers won't send the data. KDE 2.2.1 and Gnome 1.4 are without a doubt a superior interfaces over Windows and are much more flexable than Mac-OS but without the extras like accessing 'industry standard' file formats it won't when any points with me. I use Linux for as much as possible but in my case I have a perfectly good (read cheep) scanner that I am unable to use under linux because it only comes with a window interface and HP ignores requests for information nessasary to write a Linux driver. I commend those that have brought Linux to where it is now, including Mandrake and thier brethren the installation process has become a breeze. I can't help but wonder if Microsoft would have been divided into three OS' if things would have been better for Linux overall.
