Firstly, why are the words "Good news, everyone!" nowhere in the summary?
Secondly, here are some potential future plot lines which were opened in the first four seasons and could yet stand to be resolved:
* The Fry/Leela love story arc
* Fry is the single most important person in the universe and still needs to help the Nibblonians save it at least once more
* Morbo's people have yet to live up to his threats and invade Earth
* Scruffy - Who is this guy? Seriously?
* How and when exactly did New York become New New York?
* etc.
Another important point is that the characters of Futurama seem to properly age, and time does pass in the Futurama world, advancing from 1999 to 3000 to 3004 by the end. Will we return to find the characters all two or three years older? If so, will they look any different, and what will have happened to them in the meantime?
Of course, the main thing this means is: more of the best DVD commentaries ever!
All existing Futurama episodes have been released on DVD. If you own all four seasons, that's the lot. There were four productions seasons. Fox spread them over five years of television and used "We've still got enough leftover episodes for a whole fifth year, we don't need more" as a partial excuse to halt production on the show.

It's not that we have to make things accessible to all. Basketball always has been an impossible game for a quadriplegic to play. The issue here is that a game which used to be very disability-friendly, and which many disabled people may well have bought because it was so accessible, has now been changed without their consent, and that "feature" if it can so be called has gone.
In effect it's not a lot different from everybody else's situation: a feature you purchased the game for has been removed but you still wanted it.
The point Bruce Scheier makes, and I agree with him to some extent, is that the stuff which is terrible but so frequent it's no longer newsworthy is the stuff we really need to worry about. Alcohol, nicotine and driving-related deaths are just statistics these days, but they number in the tens of thousands yearly. Meanwhile, plane crashes and videogame-related deaths are sparkling rarities which make top news, but are far less significant overall.
Interesting fact: one Brazillion is roughly 186,112,794 i.e. the number of people living in Brazil right now. The fact that nobody actually knows this is the real joke which us mathematical types have been laughing at behind the scenes for some time now.
I'm not sure what definition 4 means, but and "all the points on the line segment are equadistant from the points next to it" is meaningless. No two points can be said to be "next to each other" because there is always a third point between them.
To say one point is the same as a point next to it is illogical.
Yes, but this is irrelevant because 0.9999... and 1 aren't "next to each other". They are the same point.
By the way, beware of proving mathematical things using diagrams. An unimaginable number of fallacious proofs arise from this.
My question is whether anybody is likely to break Jim Bexley Speed's all-time single-season three-dimensional yardage record. I honestly don't think the London Jets ever had a better Roof Attacker.
As people are expected to watch them, very few sports involve more than one ball/puck/point of focus, so I think it's safe to say the answer to your first question is "one". The size, weight, composition etc. of the ball would be worth knowing though.
We're going way off topic here, but in response to what you said: we are dealing here with the real numbers. The real numbers do not include infinity, or transfinite numbers, or infinitesimals, or Conway's surreal numbers. In the real numbers, it can be proven that there is no smallest number greater than zero.
Once you start including surreal numbers then such crazy things like transfinite numbers and iota and stuff like this CAN exist. But continuing to represent numbers with decimal expansions in this situation is dangerous at best. Surreal numbers and so on rather complicate matters; to address such issues in my article would confuse people and cloud the issue.
Well, there's two ways of looking at it: either the Earth's magnetic poles are labelled wrongly, or EVERY OTHER MAGNET IN ALL HISTORY is labelled wrongly. Take your pick.
The so-called "North Pole" is actually a south magnetic pole. Think about it: the north pole of any bar magnet you use as a compass points "North", but with magnets, opposite poles attract, so the north magnetic pole of a magnet points towards the strongest nearby south magnetic pole, so if it's pointing North, there must be a south magnetic pole up North somewhere! Likewise, the South Pole is a north pole.
Wikipedia often fails to state it's purposes clearly. Is it an information source, an encyclopedia or an all encompassing well of knowledge?
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. That is the beginning and the end of it. Encyclopedias happen to also be information sources. It is not an all-encompassing well of knowledge. At what point is this ambiguously stated?
Not wishing to be pedantic - well, actually I love being pedantic. If "immortal" is used in the sense of "unkillable" then it is possible to be immortal for a finite period of time. But here it is pretty stupid, yes.
Put this another way. We haven't even set foot on the next planet over, but we don't need to, because we can tell what's going on in the universe millions of light years away, because our telescopes are that good.
No, no, no. Don't think that the target demographic reflects the intelligence of the journalists. The people who write tabloids like The Sun are very, very clever. They know how to get people to buy newspapers - and that's to sensationalise, and write in big block capitals and short, punchy, easy-to-read sentences and paragraphs, using language suitable for the third-grade.
Anime titles are usually of the form Adjective Profession Proper Noun. I suggest Perennial Poll Option CowboyNeal. Petrified Actress Natalie Portman also works.

It's a good job it has a rating now. Previously, trailers ended with the announcer going "This Film Is Not Yet Rated is not yet rated."
The best part is, in most states they can have sex at 16, but they can't watch it in a cinema for another year!

True Daleks don't climb stairs: they level the building. (More pedantically, Daleks can fly.)

So it's a searchable database written in 275 million lines of database!
I guess noneseventually it was the only way to solve it.
