So other than changing language libraries and setting up some new servers in Europe, what is there to beta test?!
As evidenced by the WoW-server problems in the US, 'setting up some servers' is apperently a non-trivial problem (for Blizzard).
That's besides getting the german/french clients out for public testing, getting the forums running, working in the GM's, etc.
Blizzard says the want to deliver a smooth service, so they're taking the time to set it up.
Of course, I want them to hurry up as well >
The BBC is currently two episodes ahead of the USA and as we get the BBC here in the Netherlands, I have seen them.
From the BBC review (Spoilers!): "Kansas (the next new episode for the USA) is superb. If only it had been shown before the cancellation decision, maybe Farscape would be headed for a fifth season now."
And I concur. Unlike the first shows of the fourth season, they are somewhat less 'alien'* and the pacing is slower, which (I think) is an improvement.
Certainly worth watching!

No, it's means a different variety (the Dutch 'aardappel ras' perhaps incorrectly machine translated to 'potato race').
Sun is also making a JWebPane which will be Java port of WebKit. First as part of JavaFX, but it will be an actual Swing component.
Talking about conspiracy theories: Does anyone know why OpenOffice.org gets promoted through the Java update? As bug fix for Java SE 1.6u3.

Nope, you need to buy a second box for another CD-Key (not sold seperately).

The only legitimate use for pop-ups I have seen, are image galleries, but even that purpose is made obsolete by tabbed browsing.
