...of doing a show based on teens adventures at Star Fleet Academy. If it is like the OC though to draw in new viewers, then my father, the consummate typical Trekkie, will have little to do with it. It's not about the relationships in Star Trek, it's about the story and how we can use a fantasy of the future to question the present.
Also, please, please, please, don't have it focus around Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. Introduce some other characters and let the others teens guest star every now and then.
I'm pretty hooked on the Picasa photo organizer from Picasa. It's only missing one thing: an extension to upload photos to your Flickr account.
I'd like to see some work done on this.

Gmail Goes Public

The highest moderated post in response to this story says that everyone who wants a Gmail account has one already. I don't think that's the case.
Sure, us Slashdotters and most other serious webheads know about/have Gmail--but I bet there are plenty of Google users who don't even know Google has an e-mail service and if they knew about it would like to give it a try.
Keep in mind that outside of blogs, some tech news sites, and a few articles in some general newspapers, Gmail has been on the relative down-low. It's never been on the Google front page before, which is all most Google users ever see.
I think putting a teaser about it on the Google front page will let a lot of people (like your less tech savvy friends and acquaintances) know that Gmail is an option for them.
While we're on the subject, let me point out two other excellent fan films.
The first three minutes of Batman: Dead End capture the grittiness of Batman and Gotham better than any Warner Brothers film. After three minutes it goes nutso, but then it still looks really good.
Also, check out the "trailer" for Grayson. The guy spent $18,000 of his own money to produce the trailer. Maybe if he can convince the powers that be to finance the project, he could get a whole movie made.
I can't help but think of those who got left out--i.e. the rest of the members of the teams the highlighted individuals work with.
Anyone else get the feeling that some of these awards should have gone to the whole team and the selection of a single individual was rather arbitrary?
Given the quality of the writing in the blogs I have seen, I doubt that many of the Blog People are in the habit of sustained reading of complex texts.
Hello, just thought I would pass along some friendly advice:
My wireless router is flaky at home and a couple of times my internet connection died when I wanted to play Half-Life 1 through Steam. But Steam went into offline mode and let me play the game.
Now I wonder, is it possible to simply unplug ethernet jacks if someone wanted to continue with their single-player game? If anyone is desperate, it's worth a shot.
Judges shouldn't legislate from the bench. If this Kahle's argument is the right course of action, we should take the case to our legislators to convince them how right it is.
I've been moderating this conversation, but I'm going to have to step in cause I think you're libelling Slate.
I don't doubt that the Post and the NY Times dropped the ball in their reporting of the lead up to the Iraq War. And the Washington Post's editorial board should be ridiculed for their hysterical warmongering and their failure--when they started criticizing the botched adventure--to admit that they made a mistake in endorsing the Iraq War earlier.
But--did you really read Slate? I've been a dedicated follower of the magazine for some years now and I don't know where you find the evidence for your "CorpGovMedia" accusation. In fact, the only Slate contributor I remember who openly supported the war is Christopher Hitchens (and still does to this day, though, like 99% of the rest of us, is disappointed in its execution).
Man, I didn't like Highlander 2 as much as the next guy, but the article summary was kick in the nuts out of nowhere. Isn't there a statute of limitations on crappy movies? Does a time ever come when we can forgive them?
I don't think he would want Ashcroft's job if he's serious about pursuing his agenda of "oiling" free American markets: New York's Martin Act empowers the state's attorney general to subpoena any financial information and confront any business that has any business ties to New York--that's right, not just businesses situated in New York. You'll notice Spitzer very rarely takes his issues to the court and instead wields the threat of litigation to influence the targeted companies' stock prices and instigate institutional change.
Did anyone else read the four Doom novels by Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver?
The books got increasingly metaphysical as they reached the fourth book, but the first book was awesome and I always saw it as movie-ready. It dealth with the solipsism and paranoia of being on a space-station by oneself (and, ok, a couple of thousand Satanic spawn).
I wonder about this. Consider Iraq where the US has lost some 900 troops but killed thousands and thousands of Iraqi's and foreign insurgents. What if these attackers had no means of inflicting damage to US soldiers? Would our enemies still try to attack us front on if they knew they could not harm us? Would they instead resort to terrorist activities, more planted mines and explosives?
I'm all for protecting all soldiers but I wonder if we get too strong if enemies will simply stop trying to attack us directly and resort to more indirect, sinister violence. Who do we expect to be facing off against in the future?
Marvin Kitman said it best when he noted that nobody ever stopped watching television in the past fifty years because the quality of the picture wasn't good enough.

To a certain extent, this probably reflects the interest of people searching as well as those linking, but is the world really that much more interested in Apple Computer than in old-fashioned apples?
I judge rpg's by their immersion factor, and out of all the rpg's I have ever played, Planescape: Torment is the one that really gave me a character that was truly my own, a real "I" in Planescape's universe.
I remember talking with my friend's addressing to them the game's thematic question: "What can change the nature of a man?" The game answers this questions in a show-not-tell process that is worthy of a novel. (Actually, I recall there being a strategy guide from IGN that told the plot of the game from a first-person narrative. It's worth digging up if you liked Planescape.)
Plus who could forget classic moments like:
"You remember your name and smile at how simple it is."
or when you choose to revive Dakkon and announce the "two deaths as one" for the final battle.

Best questions I've seen so far. Please mod parent up.

I wonder about this. the NYTimes does spend about $330 million dollars a year on original reporting.
Could all of this work be done by bloggers? Would we only need RSS aggregators that would pull "newspapers" together from different threads?
I don't know. I'm inclined to think both models will coexist next to each other.

Bump parent up! Working fine as we speak.
...for applications like these? Thanks.
The jury is still out, but the Wachowski brothers have been accused of plagiarizing a woman's material for the Matrix series.

Sorry, but if you're going to use quotation marks might as least get the quote right:

Yes.
