Windows 95 had millions of lines fewer code too. The initial Win95 install (pre IE) would only consume 50 meg of drive space, Longhorn will probably have to suck in it's gut to get below 2 gig.
It is a disapointing show for 4 years of tweaking to an existing product though.
How about five years the last member of the group dies?
Or the first. Either suits me, to be honest.
Are these things so hard to figure out?
Based on the 20,000 page bills that get shoved through Congress I'd have to say 'yes, they are so hard to figure out'. There is no spirit of the law anymore, everything is about the letter of the law so every tiny, obscure, insignificant detail has to be spelled out or someone will find the wiggle room to get around it.
Is it right? No, but that's how it is today. For the record I think your 5 years after the author(s) idea is reasonable, but working out the details would take months or years.
Whoever stole the info is probably selling it and not using it themselves. That way they get their money out of it now without having to worry about it going stale.
It is possible that she has taken on this dumb likeable persona to be more accessible to people and enjoy life more.
When does the "likeable" part come out? In everything I've seen of her she comes across as a spoiled rich brat with no concept of personal responsiblity. I've seen nothing likeable about her at all.
She is a damn good business woman, or her agent is? She comes across as about as stupid as a stump, I'd belive someone else is taking advantage of her exploits and rich family easier than that she could pull it off herself.
I'll admit I opt-out of a lot of pop culture, but I don't know ANYONE looking forward to the King Kong movie.
Is this wishful thinking on their part? Am I completely out of it? Or is this a new marketing tactic?
You might be completely out of "it", "it" being catering to the lowest common denominator in society. Do you know anyone who actually likes The Simple Life? I don't yet they keep spewing out new seasons of it.
They're not stuck with one station either. Just shopping it around, pick the best deal. Trekkies won't have a problem switching channels to watch their favorite show
Except Paramount, aka UPN, owns Star Trek so other stations can't just pick up the series and run with it unless Paramount agrees to it.
Also, I think TiVo should get into writing PVR software for PCs for hackers. Although, hackers hardly pay for anything, so maybe that's not such a good idea.
They could go after the same market that Snapstream and Sage TV have. Enough people are buying those products to keep the companies in business, if Tivo could write software that matched their DirecTV Tivo (what I have) for the PC they would surely be able to sell it.
it's about time/.ers got real about salaries. $60k is a bloody awful lot of money
That depends entirely on where you live. It's 20k less than the position I accepted last week. I wouldn't take a job for only $60k in King County where the median house price is $350k.
You skippd the "We'd end up with more and better films" part in your quote. With other people doing it maybe it wouldn't take 3 years between movies and 20 years between trilogies. With more movies he'd have more piles of cash.
Likely because nearly 50% of people are still using 800x600 according to some stats, so they design pages around that. So at 1600x1200 you either get it all in a 800x600 box, or things get stretched way out and screw up their layout.
Yes, competent designers could allow for that but as you know most people using Front Page etc don't.
Some might point out how sad it is that half of your list is 20 years old or more. That's not saying your taste is bad, I agree with your list for the most part, it's more a commentary that many of todays movies really do suck.
It's not that uncommon these days. People do it so they have their childrens fingerprints in case they get abducted. They've been playing a commercial on the radio lately with a number you can call for a free indentification kit for your children, fingerprints, photos maybe hair samples, I haven't seen the kit.
If this is why "they" came to take the kids prints and they were given to the parents I wouldn't have a problem with it. Having "them" come in and fingerprint all the children under the guise of protecting them and keeping them in their database would be something different.
How about _completely_ new series, with no canon to worry about, no old fans to grouse about "how it was better back in the day" etc.
Unfortunately they canceled Firefly which was a completely new sci-fi series with an interesting premise. Maybe after the movie comes out someone will resurrect the series.
2.5 million people watched it the same time Stargate SG1 was on.
They are trying to kill Enterprise by putting it on at friday night, it cant win in that timeslot.
If it were a better show it could. Why is it SG1 can "win" in that timeslot but Enterprise can't? Because SG1 is better. If Enterprise were written and produced by better more creative people then it wouldn't have a problem in any timeslot.
You want to know something ironic? I use GMail and I think it rocks, especially since it's free (for now). I've had a free yahoo account for ages so a lot of people still send mail there. I never considered paying for yahoo until GMail came along, now I am thinking about it. Why? So I can automatically forward my email to GMail. I have already set up my regular pop email accounts to forward to GMail.
So because Gmail works for you, you're now thinking about paying Yahoo? Probably not quite what Google was hoping for with their service.
Show me an ad paid for and published by a firearms company that advertises their product as a tool for harming people. Ads by HCI depicting guns as sentient weapons of mass destruction that go on killing sprees all on their own don't count.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Your idea of a ST show based on Earth could be interesting, as long as it didn't evolve into some teen soap opera based at the academy.
Pretty poor reasoning there. Budget has little to do with how good a movie is. If the story sucks great acting and special effects can only go so far to cover for it, as we've seen in the last 2 Star Wars films (not that they had great acting).
Star Trek needs better writing that doesn't involve mucking around with time over and over. They've got an entire universe to write stories in and the best they can come up with is a temporal cold war??
Modded flamebait, there's slashdot moderation at it's finest rushing to defend anything Google or Linux. Face it, Googles QA team fucked up and missed something that should have been caught before beta if they'd even done the testing any $10 / hour intern would do.

Another question is does Trillion or other third party IM tools that connect to these networks have similar security breachs?

Of course, and you obviously haven't read it or understood it in the least to think it applies here in any way.

Did you complain to management or to the police? Assault with a deadly weapon isn't something the police usually take lightly.

Better a sales tax than an income tax, especially if you're making a good wage.
