It's possible, but not a good idea. RoR is like a Mac. It thrives on integration. Running the Darwinport of XMMS may work for you, but using iTunes is ultimately the overall better solution.
Which is ridiculous. The quote arrogantly equates conservatism with the wisdom of age. Conservatism isn't wisdom. It's "the world is fucked up, but I'm going to be apathetic about it because everything's peachy for me." Notice how people who get fucked tend to be liberals and people who have peachy jobs with disposable incomes tend to be conservatives?
I wouldn't call the PK wars a proper ending to Farscape. There were still a number of loose threads that needed to be tied up, like the relationship between the Sebaceans, the Skaarans, and Earth all having a common origin, or what Earth ended up doing with the advanced technology Crichton left them, and other less important things.
The PK wars also squandered way too much of its time in fire fights, but alas, much of Farscape's TV run did. They should have spent less time touting guns (at least on screen) and more time tying up loose ends. You can't cram season 5 into one mini series.
Uh, because as a web developer I'm sick and tired of coding around MSIE's proprietary bullshit?
In the webapp I'm working on, my JS HTTP requests had to be done with an ActiveX hack in IE just for. My SVG had to be done with VML in IE. Half of my Javascript has if (IE) { } in it somewhere.
MSIE is a CURSE on web developers and it wastes people's time and money every day.
I've already written a proof of concept for a mapping system for a web based space strategy game I'm working that makes use of SVG for line drawing. I've been testing it in the Firefox betas.
You can take a look at it if you want. Right click to change the zoom level. It's powered by Javascript HTTP request, the DOM, and hefty doses of SVG for line drawing.
IE doesn't support the document object model correctly, so in order to do things like Javascript HTTP Request (Or AJAX for you trendy people), you have to use an ActiveX hack in IE.
Unless MS wants to start supporting web standards corrrectly, I would appreciate my ActiveX hack still working in IE7, thank you.
Besides, ActiveX is used for windows update. I doubt they'll be pulling it, so don't waste your breath.

This is what it tells us: Paramount is just as disappointed with the ratings situation as UPN is. Enterprise has a bad reputation for being a "poor quality show" thanks shitty writing in the early seasons and poor marketing in the later seasons when the writing improved. Now the show's got just as much quality as any of the others in its 4th season, but the vast majority of the fanbase has alredy lost interest.
Paramount being in it for money, doesn't feel their profit margins are big enough to continue the show beyond this point. As for the whole "not accepting any amount of money" thing, if the donations amounted to $50 million instead of $3 million I doubt they would have released such a statement.
Paramount is just being realistic about their business investments.
I don't care what standard you want to measure it by to satisfy your angry "good riddance" sadsack attitude.
Enterprise is a good show in the here and now in its 4th season. Yeah I wish it was better in its earlier seasons too, but DS9 sucked early on too. As did TNG and Voy and TOS. UPN has dropped a show which has shown a consistent improvement in quality over the years because all they care about is Neilsen ratings.
Let's not forget that a vast majority of Enterprise fans don't even have Neilsen boxes, myself included, and that many such fans are international. TV politics got Enterprise canceled. Not the quality of the show.
You're obviously flamebaiting to get me to bash Firefly, and I won't. I won't validate all the mindless Star Trek bashing I see on this site by reciprocating.
But I will tell you that every Star Trek show needed a few "buffer" seasons in the beginning to really develop. Season 4 of Enterprise has been fantastic, exactly what the show should be.
Maybe if you had read my original post, you'd have seen that.
I don't think so. TOS season one was absolutely dreadful at large. Of course there are gems in there, but you have to wade through a lot to find them. TOS and Enterprise were in the same boat. TNG, DS9, and Voy were awesome in their later seasons. Imagine a 5th, 6th, and 7th season of TOS and Ent; they would have been awesome.
Enterprise never had a chance to grow. The first two seasons of Ent were decent, but still a bit mediocre. The third season was a nice ride, but not the show we really wanted out of the prequel. Manny Coto's 4th season is EXACTLY what the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seasons should have been, but too little too late. I love the show, always will, but TV politics have ruined many a good show. Look at the original Star Trek, or look at Farscape...
In their place, reality TV dominates. Why watch intelligent TV when we can have Growing Up Gotti?
Slashdot Headline, 2010: RIAA cracks down on all network protocols.
In their everlasting and Glorious Crusade against music piracy, the RIAA has successfully lobbied congress to make the entire concept of networking illegal, as it has the potential to violate music copyright. Also covered by this broad new bill passed by congress are all forms of LAN protocols such as NFS and Samba. Computers will no longer be allowed to exchange information in any way.
Also covered by the bill is the/bin/cp binary on unix systems, CD and DVD burning devices, pens and pencils, and the freedom to hum and whistle tunes. The RIAA is working hard to enforce a mandatory cutting of vocal cords of all new babies born in the US, and the amputation of their arms so as to make their ability to infringe on Holy Copyrights more difficult.
RIAA expects total victory over the human race within ten years.
I have seen infestations of cockroaches. They get into food and are difficult to kill even when stepped on. These waterbugs are not cockroaches. They have no interest in food or garbage. They come from water sources like sinks, toilets, and bathtubs. They're quite a bit smaller most of the time and they die very quickly and easily. They're also seasonal, appearing only during the spring wetseason.
This is not a good idea with some keyboard. Once I found a waterbug inside my keyboard and when I tried to kill it it just went deeper into the board. So the first thing I did was take it into the bathroom and run it under water to flush the little fucker out.
This has always been how I cleaned keyboards in the past, and it always worked well. But this (rather new) particular keyboard of mine didn't survive the experience. I rid it of the waterbug, but it has not worked since.
This has happened to me as well. Where I live, ant infestations and waterbug infestations are common. When you kill a few dozen of them every day, it's no surprise one of them has sought shelter inside a keyboard.
In a more perfect world, you'd be working for a company which pays you to work on FOSS. Is this not better for everyone? There are many people already in such an arrangement. I can only see it getting more popular.
The reputation of GNU/Linux advocates suffers because the concept of all software being free is too hard for many of today's computer users to grasp. A lot of businesses make their money by hiring developers and selling software. This is a business model many of us would like to see die.
The big FUD statement we always hear is how is FOSS profitable if it's all being done for free? I always cite the Linux kernel itself as a model for the future; most of the people working on the kernel are paid developers. Companies like IBM sponser FOSS development. If every company which needs software to use worked in the same manner, the world would be perfect.
There are simply too many people who can't shake the idea that software is a "product" to be bought and sold. I've seen some pretty nasty things said to FOSS advocates. I've even seen some of the conservative opposition refer to FOSS as "Communism" and "Anti-American". Facing blatant ignorance and bigotry every day, it's no wonder that *nix people can seem condescending at times.

First of all, Paramount already signed a syndication deal for Enterprise. Second, Star Trek shows traditionaly run seven seasons, not five. :)
Paramount being in it for money, doesn't feel their profit margins are big enough to continue the show beyond this point. As for the whole "not accepting any amount of money" thing, if the donations amounted to $50 million instead of $3 million I doubt they would have released such a statement.
