TOS has the half-black/half-whites fighting the half-white/half-blacks. Still a classic and balls out the most in-your-face episode about racism I think I've seen in sci-fi. You could put the most inbred confederate-flag-waving Klan member down in front of that episode and he'd be the one who laughs and says what a ridiculous notion is was.
Still one of the worst episodes in the history of television. So heavy-handed that a hammer to a person's skull would be considered subtle by comparison. OMFG! Can't they see they're teh same! Your average high school student could mouth deeper platitudes then came out of that episode.
TNG was I think the first to tackle the issue of homosexuality where Riker visits that unisex planet and discovers that sometimes people are born with a sex, and have to hide it. The unisex angle was reallly smart because even a conserative Christian could understand what it would be like if they were stripped of their sexual identify (especially since they are very big on enforcing sexual identity, girls dress/act one way, boy's another). Even at a time where gay rights issues were barely on the map, that episode raised a very valid what-if that applied to any viewer.
Right, it takes conservative Christians to enforce "gender identity". Let me guess, a recent university graduate? That's the only place that kind of dung is heard. Again, an episode so subtle that a hammer to the dome would be preferable.
Enterprise may suck but the episodes you brought up were worse than anything that Berman has done the past four years.
That *might* explain a 98 box but it doesn't an XP box that often doesn't even have SP1 on it, much less any protection. In fact, I'm working on someone's XP box tomorrow that has no updates and only minimal protection. I'm interested to see how bad the problem will (or won't) be.
I guess some people have a horseshoe jammed up somewhere.
I'm not the world's biggest fan of Microsoft -- I've pretty well shorn myself of everything but XP and Word -- but I have to admit that it's not bad. Caught some minor stuff after I hadn't done a scan with Ad-Aware in a while and cleaned them up. Not the best, nowhere near the worst.
Interestingly, one service still says "GIANT Antispyware Data Service". I guess they didn't rebadge it all yet.
Exactly what web sites are you going to where you would end up with 500 pieces of spyware on your computer in just two days?
I've serviced people's machines who have unprotected PCs (no firewall, no anti-spyware software, no virus scanner) and most of them were reasonably clean.
I'm well aware that climate != weather. Perhaps you should have emailed that comment to those in the media. Maybe even CCed it to environmentalists. They get confused rather easily as well.
My point is that the best modeling software in the world is not able to model the simplist features of climate. That makes the software worthless.
Use the same inaccurate software global warming hoaxers use to make their claims! Ignore the fact that the software isn't even able to predict cloud cover!
Who modded this insightful? According to the brilliant logic in this post, free speech has never existed in the United States because the moment the constitution came into force, free speech was restricted to your own property.
What's Ukrainian Christmas? I've heard of Orthodox Christmas but this Ukrainian Christmas is new to me? Are Ukrainians the only ones to celebrate on January 7?
Hey, Gwynne Dyer! There's an unimpeachable source! When did we start describing activists as journalists?
At any rate, all scientists are predicting this massive tsunami? Wow, I remember reading just a few months ago that some scientists believed that it was unlikely a massive tsunami would occur from that island group because the landslide wouldn't occur all at once. In fact, I remember reading a new story about that just yesterday stating the same thing.
It doesn't matter how much money Bill Gates' father gave him. The fact of the matter is that it was his father's money to give. If the tap had been shut off, Bill Gates would have learned very quickly how rich he personally wasn't.
Where I lived we had three channels -- two English, one French -- so watching the show (like you, from its inception) wasn't so much a choice as it was inevitable.

Funny, I got wooden because of one of the finest racks in science fiction.
Ha ha, good luck!

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one who remembers Marc Andreeson actually declaring publicly that he wanted to take on Windows with Netscape.
Netscape wasn't a victim, it was a volunteer.
Depends on how close to shore you are though.
Dude, if I'm lying, I'm dying. These are people who had Win 98 and Win XP boxes and they were mostly clean.

Don't be rediculous!
You sure did name a lot of unimpressive companies there, didn't you?

Brilliant! And at least five clods modded it up!

No, that means his father was rich.

Well said. I'm surprised that you haven't been modded into oblivion for saying it.

Virtually everybody.
