I just saw this and as a long time Trek fan (30+ years) all I can say is that is easily the best Star Trek movie ever made. The action was tense and had just enough comic relief. The story itself was classic Trek. They had a few inside jokes and references to old episodes in both the original series and the next generations. The ending harkened back to "Wrath of Khan" which was a really nice touch. Well done!
I would think just the opposite would be true. People would want to play games in private until they reached a certain level of proficiency in order to avoid being embarrased in public.
The biggest problem I can see with using nukes is the lack of a delivery system. None of the ICBMs in the world can actually get into space. They don't need to. They were designed to hit targets on the ground. What are we going to do? Put them on the shuttle? The shuttle is barely able to get into earth orbit. Still too far away.
For me Dr. Dobbs Journal (running light without overbyte) was a classic. I remember reading and re-reading every single article. Every month usually had a new programming language created and implemented by hobbyists. It had a spirit of excitement and adventure that I have never seen in any other magazine, and I read every and magazine I could get my hands on: Creative Computing, BYTE, REMark, Sextant (I had an article in that one), Popular Electronics, Radio Electronics, and many I don't remember anymore.
I don't think you would need a macro feature. Most digital cameras I've used take good pictures a foot or so away; which is what you would need to grab a whole page. You use macro mode to get really close (1" away) pictures.

I was a bit uncomfortable with the idea of giving them my date of birth and the last four digits of my Social Security Number.
Now if they could just get The Simpsons, I'll have no reason to watch network television ever again.
No, lets be fair now. Both stories sound equally stupid.
All that just to get the Borg Gates icon! I feel cheated!
Why is it sad? Kirk told him "don't ever let them promote you out of that ship!". Janeway just never had the fortune of meeting Kirk.

Did Dr. Ebert explain his theory? Other than just stating that it was "obvious"?
for a second I thought you meant Siskel.
and a beowulf cluster of all of the above.
I remember seeing a video of an OS Shootout where IBM and MS people showed off their respective operating systems. It went something like this:
IBM guy shows off OS/2 playing two differents AVIs simultaneously with the sound of both being simultaneosly mixed in real-time on a 486 box.
Microsoft guy: Windows NT has animated icons!
I once worked on a Perkin-Elmer machine that ran OS-32. ;)

Only if he tries to sell it. Patent infringement doesn't apply if you are building something for your own personal use.
Even if they stole the technology; if they can't maintain it, it will soon be completely useless to them.
I watched the first hour and gave up. It was stupid and dull.

I don't think an asteroid the size of Bruce Willis would do much damage at all.
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Oh. I just assumed the league was founded by Nobel prize winners. ;)

would, of course, be underdog!
After reading Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, I'm not sure I like the idea of thinking machines.

Wouldn't it be simpler and more effective if they just placed multiple processors on a single chip?
