Being intelligent doesn't mean that you'll be rich. Becoming rich takes a certain amount of business acumen or just plain luck.
He obviously didn't make smart business decisions and chose to go to a rave instead of a business meeting and now he's paying (or not) for it.
This is no way means that I don't think that he did some great things or wasn't an interesting person. It just seems like the WSJ is trying to go for the easy, tear-jerker, story.
Perhaps I should have said "Star Trek fans like a bright and happy future".
You're talking about Battlestar Galactica fans. You know, the people that like the palsy camera operators.
Add to all that, one simple fact: the further they move away from Roddenberry's vision of Star Trek, the less the fans seem to like it.
Both ST:TOS and ST:TNG were wildly success (even if, for TOS, is was in syndication) because people like a bright happy future of grand exploration. DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise didn't fair as well because they tried to be more "realistic". At least, realistic in the sense of everyday drudgery.
Oh, and this is where some (a minority) of the fans will cry "But DS9 was great!" It was only great because it swiped the large story arc of a war from someone else (Babylon 5, anyone?).
Now, with this new "series", they're trying to make take it further from Gene's idea. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this new "the universe sucks" Star Trek will provide some new and interesting plots. Or, maybe, they'll just travel through time again, turn the Borg into Fluffy the lovable kitten, realign the deflector dish and further kill my fondness for all things Trek.
That would explain how Skynet was never able to kill a waitress and why it was never smart enough to try and kill that waitress when she was 1 month old.
It's amazing how many mods tried to vote this down because...well...it's an inconvenient truth.
Science should be a democracy, a republic, and certainly not a dictatorship. Science is about facts, not opinions, but some people just don't want to hear that.
It's never pleasant to hear about someone being the victim of a crime, but some crimes are a cut below the usual. Stealing from a non-profit organizations whose aim is to help the poor ranks pretty low on a scale that's pretty low to start with.
If those responsible are caught, I hope the judge throws the book at them.
I hope it's the hard cover edition of War and Peace.
So let me get this straight, it's not okay to say that atheists, as a group, are immoral, but it is okay to say that religious people, as a group, are less intelligent.
Slashdot Mirror
Why was this modded "troll"?!
Sometimes I really wonder about them mental fitness of the Slashdot mods...
Four support calls isn't really that bad...
I was really excited to see how this works, but I'm running Ubuntu. So I installed in under WINE...
And the download slogan could be, "Spank the Sea Monkey, now!
I tried to read that out loud at work. Now I'm stuck trying to explain to my coworkers that I am, in fact, not having a seizure.
It's about time! This is the option that I've really been waiting to put in my battlemech.

It's a sad day when you discover a type of porn that's not worth watching... :(
If only we could have stopped global warming 10,000 year ago! Then those of us in the northern US states could've skied year round!
You really have to a dunce to think that GWB was president of the US back in 1998.
This needs to be updated...
An easier question would be "Why not?"

Save the children, ruin the adults.
Don't let the facts get in the way of an anti-American rant.

This must be how skynet starts.

It's at times like this that I wish there was a '+6 Funny'.

Death, the ultimate pain release...and it's good for weight loss, too.
I swear I haven't seen this before!
WTF? The Xelibri looks like it should come with birth control pills!

Nice double standard you have going there.
