You need to be very giving of yourself - a good manager will put the needs of their direct reports over their own to make sure that the company prospers. Monetarily, this means fighting for raises for your staff while not doing so for yourself and not having a problem making less money than your top people. It also means giving up some of your perks so your staff can develop like giving up a trip to a big conference for someone else to go. Some others have mentioned being the 'shit shield' which is very true - good managers absorb the crap so their staff doesn't have to (unless it is deserved). In addition to all this giving, you also have to be able to be a dick when needed and push people who aren't cutting it.
I got the RROD in December and went through the process to get a replacement unit. I was okay with this but when I get the replacement unit, it had issues reading media. Any DVD would eventually freeze up a certain location and some games would have spots that were impassable. I contacted support and the experience sucked. I was pretty upset that they would not ship out a replacement without instead having me send back the unit (this time including power brick and cord when it was obvious it was a problem with the DVD drive). To make up for this, they offered me my choice of 4 bargain bin games and then sent the wrong one. The box to ship back my defective unit arrived about 1.5 weeks after I made the call.
Now with Blu-Ray becoming the preferred format for hi-def DVD, I may just go PS3.
I totally concur about the Jedi part. The Jedi in the prequels are not at all like the ones I imagined when I saw the original trilogy. I pictured Jedi Knights as being elegant, heroic and full of charisma not a bunch of whiny brats with sticks up their asses.
I hate to get technical on this pathetic subject, but that wasn't Dr. Scott. It was The Criminologist played by Charles Grey of James Bond fame. Dr. Scott was the guy in the wheelchair.
Does anyone have vidcaps of the episode where the ticker shows? I could maybe understand if it was identical in appearance to the Fox News ticker but even then, it still seems would know that these are bogus news items.
Whenever I hear the name Napster I associate it with failure. Kind of like saying the word CueCat but not as bad. If this kind of negative association is the norm for most people who would be interested in buying an MP3 player, why would Samsung want to brand their player with the name? Doesn't really make sense to me.
The requirements are somewhat steep but when you compare them to some of the bloated media center applications put out by Real, Microsoft, MusicMatch, they don't seem to be so.

In a move to cash-in on name recognition, AOL will be naming this service 'Netscape'."
Is Netscape's name recognition really worth that much at this point?

Having another distribution method available to consumers is always a good thing. This will give the hardcore gamers a chance to try a game out for a while and see if it's worth buying. Hopefully it'll also increase the popularity of the PC gaming market which may drive some prices down a bit. I don't see a downside to this as long as we still have a choice.
IIRC, the Exchange Connector for Evolution will cost extra. You might want to consider that if you are planning in replacing Outlook. This isn't a problem if you don't use Public Folders or any resource sharing on the server.
I read it the same way too. I'm used to seeing Playstation 2 abbreviated as PS2. When someone throws in a / I think of the IBM box with that funky two button mouse.
How about someone develop an enclosure that mounts in the dash and accepts any 3.5" IDE hard drive? How many people have some 1 or 2 G hard drives lying around doing nothing?

So was Carrie Fisher... I think Kevin Smith must be a huge Star Wars fan.

It's hard to imagine anything resembling "intellectual" property ever belonging to Riff-Raff and Magenta, but you are correct!

I, for one, welcome our new weight-challenged wallet overlords.

Voyager 1 has reached heliopause and is now experiencing hot flashes and irritability. Hormone replacement therapy has proven innefective thus far.

You lucky bastard, you had turbo tape.

How about a level for The Sims where everyone in the neighborhood drinks from a vat of grape Kool-Aid laced with cyanide?

This game will take people back to a time when all of the characters aren't somehow related to one another.
...if they intend to open-source the optional food processor module as well.
