They had two copies of "The Cage" - the color copy and a black and white proof. They cut up the color copy to make "The Menagerie," and for many years the remaining clips from "The Cage" were presumed lost. They were later recovered, and used on the new DVDs - but the original VHS had the black and white with the color only where it could be taken from "The Menagerie."
The second pilot was "Where No Man Has Gone Before," and the first regular episode (by production) was "The Corbomite Maneuver". That's why the crew is so different on those episodes than it is on the more famouse episodes (no McCoy in "Where No Man Has Gone Before," for one thing, though he was present for "The Corbomite Maneuver"). However, for some reason NBC insisted on showing the episodes out of order (sound familiar???) and showed "The Man Trap" first. "The Menagerie" was shown during November sweeps week (like double episodes often were on later Trek series).
So let me get this straight - you're claiming that Avery Brooks talks like a high school dropout? Dropout from which high school, Phillips? All I can think of is the scene from Hollywood Shuffle when an actor shouts out "I can do it in iambic pentameter!!!"
I'd rate "Out of Gas" third for the series, behind "Ariel." "Kobol's Last Gleaming" was very good, but not as good as "33". For TNG, I'd say "First Contact."
I'd say DS9 2-6th seaons > TOS 1,2, and first half of 3rd season > Rest of DS9 > TNG 3-6th seasons > Enterprise 4th season > Voyager 4-7th seasons > TNG 1 and 2nd season > rest of TOS > Animated series > rest of Voyager > rest of Enterprise. And I don't think that highly of the animated series.
If I had continued my listing further, I might have come up with DS9's "Far Beyond the Stars" as the next-best episode of TVSF. "Whispers" I probably underrate because it reminds me too much of Dick's "Imposter" (though it's much more in the spirit of the story than the film *Imposter* - and that's probably the most PKD-reverent film adaption of his stories, though of course *Blade Runner* is the best).
"Objects in Space" was probably the best episode of TV SF since "City on the Edge of Forever" (the BG episode "33" was produced after "Objects in Space").
If the code was written in 1995, it would make sense that the Mc-only code would be pre-OS X, as OS X didn't exist yet; and on previous versions of the Mac OS, there was no easy-access terminal emulator, so I can see why they would be putting it into a window for display.
No, it's set the date and time, account password and keyboard configuration, and wait 20 minutes for a worm to hit, and your Uncle's computer is owned by Bob.
So what happens with identical twins? Do they share one soul, or does God give the second twin a soul after the two embryos split? If the latter, why can't he do that with clones?
He's talking about OS X Server, not OS X. He doesn't distinguish between them himself, but if you look at the whole article, you'll see that he's comparing Windows Server to OS X Server; and OS X Server does have anti-virus and anti-spam services built-in as part of its mail services.
It depends upon where you work and for how long. I get almost 5 weeks of paid time off a year (that includes both vacation and sick leave), but when I started, I got 2 1/2 weeks.
That's not how the definition works - if a coorbital body has the barycenter of its minor orbit with its companion body outside either body, it's a planet. If it is too small to ignite fusion and orbits a star, it's a planet, regardless of whether the barycenter of the planet-star system is inside the surface of the star.

Are you really *that* naive? What would happen if you walked up to President Bush and told him that you were planning to harm him in some way? You'd have a Secret Service agent scoping your colon in a matter of minutes, and all of your protestations that they were violating your First Amendment rights would be laughed at - and NO lawyer in the country would bother to argue the case. And they'd be right. Yes, there are legal limits on "free speech."
There is so far as I know no institution in the US that offers a degree in literary criticism; there are degrees in English, English Literature, Comparative Literature, French (or any $LANGUAGE) Language and Literature, and occasionally at the wackier schools "Literary Studies" or Literary Theory, but not "literary criticism" - indeed, literary criticsm in its traditional sense has been largely neglected over the past generation. The first page of a Google search for "degree in literary criticism" reveals a university in Italy offerring a degree in philology and literary criticism and a number of institutions that offer courses in literary criticism, but not degrees. So, for the most part, your use of that term reveals that your attitude reflects your ignorance.
Moreover, most "science journalists" have undergraduate degrees in the sciences or in journalism, not literary studies. Yes, their scientific literacy is often grotesquely inadequate, but that is the fault of their science teachers, not their "literary criticism" teachers. And I am here to tell you that their general literacy and literary skills aren't much better - a very good literary critic usually wouldn't make the same kinds of fundamental errors in transmission to which the average science journalist seems prone, and would not have so atrocious a writing style as they so often have.
Perhaps your teachers have inculcated the degree of "Two Cultures" chauvinism you're displaying so crudely in this "Ask Slashdot" posting, or perhaps you've picked it up from your classmates. I'd suggest, though, that you keep your own counsel about "literary criticism" - it is in its own way, when utilized by a skilled practitioner (and most of those with degrees in English do not qualify as such), a very useful and methodologically rigorous practice. Dismiss popularization all you want, but keep the disciplinary prejudice out of it.
That said, you can't go wrong subscribing to Science and Nature (though I have to admit that I am getting discouraged with Nature's editorial stance lately regarding peer review and editorial oversight) and especially by keeping an eye on ArXiv.org.
No, the First Amendment was used to force a judge who placed a monument of the Ten Commandments outside his courtroom to remove it to a non-government site because enforcing the First Commandment in a courtroom violates the First Amendment (you know, that "I am the LORD your God, you shall have no other gods before me" bit). No one is ever prevented from speaking because of the First Amendment, they are prevented from speaking in ways that are not covered by the First Amendment (shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater where there is no fire, conspiracy, incitement to violence). The KKK likes to burn crosses in front of people's houses and then claims it is a First Amendment issue, when the reality is that it is a peculiar form of assault that is not protected by the First Amendment.
As a transitive verb, carpere takes an accusative object. The casus accusativus of momentum is momentum; momento would be the dative or ablative, which would indicate something like an agent or means and not a direct object. However, it should also be noted that in Latin, carpe momentum would normally be read as "seize the movement," and not "seize the moment" (though it could mean that). Carpe tempus would probably be better stylistically (the accusative of tempus is also tempus).

Actually, no, Charon does not qualify as a planet under the new definition: it has not cleared its orbit any more than Pluto has.

Carpe takes the accusative, not the dative. Carpe momentum!
