Dammit, Man! Why'd you have to go and give away next season's plotline?
Actually, I think you may be closer than you think. According to timelines I heard when enterprise was coming out, they said the first Romulan war should take place about seasons 4-6 of Enterprise. Well, we're at the end of season 3.
It's possible that, if Enterprise actually does get canned (nothing final on that yet, although very heavy speculation), they may make the Romulan war the prequel movie. That, and it'll almost fit in with Nemesis and its heavy Romulan themes.
Well, just wait until they start selling copies of Final Fantasy 11. Granted, it's only 1 DVD-ROM, but its the game that keeps on giving (or downloading, if you prefer that euphemism...)
Yup. That's about the time that listeners will TRY to hunt for an alternate station because they can barely understand the host.
Only problem is, with the state of radio today, they'll probably run into the same content on 4 other channels that are part of the same network, and the other channels they actually find will have Indian announcers as well. The only one that won't will be the Country-Western channel, as I can't say I've met many Indians who listen to Country-Western.
But, then again... there could be a huge following over there, who knows. (In Indian Accent) "Don't Tell My Heart, My Achy Breaky Heart..."
Disclaimer: I mean no offense to those of you in India or of Indian descent. I have just had a couple bad experiences calling HP tech support to find a product, and run into someone with so thick an accent, it took 3 tries to understand what they just said. Not all Indians are like that, but I've had this horror story and have heard enough others.
Well, if he's got an old house (like the 1800's farmhouse I'm renting) where the basement is poorly insulated, or not at all, the upstairs temperature could read 55 and downstairs it could be 35. These types of houses don't get heat downstairs, and the pipes, if not properly insulated, do develop cracks.
I learned the hard way this happens the first year I was here, with about 4 leaks showing up that winter. Luckily they were pinhole or small crack, but still... Oh, and btw, it pays to have a cat. My first indication there was a leak was when the cat was standing near the basement door for two days, just standing and listening. Something about the hissing of the leaking water perked her ears up.
I mean what's next, an Indiana Jones movie where Indy is a woman and the setting is 21st century Tokyo?
Actually, they have one of these. It's a TV series run by ABC where Indiana Jones is a kung-fu action woman who runs around the world (but is based in LA) retrieving artifacts to create a big machine, set in the early 21st century. It's called Alias.
Yellow Cake. Wonder if the bacteria will grow up to look/act like Hastur?
Egads, I hope not!

I see they're being smart, and making a cumulative update forwarding capability in these.
One thing I've always said a cell phone should have is the ability to pick up cell phone broadcast signals to determine which are nearby. Then, in the case of a tower outage, or straying too far away, you would switch over to a peer-to-peer version where your signal would get passed on via other phones to the next nearest tower. Hopefully this functionality would use a low quality, low bandwidth signal, so as not to disrupt other callers on the phones it's passed through.
Of course, this would require a general reworking of the phones firmware between you and the tower, to leave a small gap of bandwidth open at all times for this forwarded traffic. (There's a good 5-10 years of rolling out phones!) The sooner some phones with this capability get rolled out, you'd ahave a slowly expanding infrastructure. However, it would greatly expand coverage area, especially in places that are just outside of the coverage area.
These sensors use something like that to pass on data to the next nearest device with Internet connectivity. Good to see someone was thinking ahead. Just hope that capability doesn't get held back because of a budget cut or "I'm not going to pay for someone else's traffic" NIMBY arguments.
I agree. Although, converging 4 fleets (a fleet of 40 Overlord tanks with Propaganda Towers, another fleet of 40 Overlord tanks with Gatlings, a fleet of about 30 Migs, and a fleet of 120 Red Army foot soldiers) from separate areas of the map toward one of the enemy's main bases, then bombing the hell out of them first with an EMP, then with about 7 nukes.
Granted, it took forever to build those armies, without cheats (unless you call another fleet of 60 hackers cheating). However, that combined attack of all those units and special attacks on the enemy base with a P4 1.8 w/ GeForce4 4600 and 512 DDR was quite crippling.
Then again, maybe I was just asking for it trying to call in a battle of LOTR proportions.
BTW, this was a skirmish against two Medium computer players, not a real mission. I don't have the replay saved (I did at one point), but the whole battle took about 2.5 hours from start to finish.

From that article, Comment by Meagane. However, it's 9 months now, not 6.
Yes, and no.
No-ip would, in fact, let them get the current IP.
But what if they're behind a NAT, with no port-forwarding?

Nope... The Sisko Badlands is next
But not if it shanges names (ala Enterprise becoming "Star Trek: Enterprise" halfway through this season.)
Wish that functionality would get programmed in, but don't know how.

It's not April Fools. Slashdot ran this article on the other US garage, the Hoboken above ground one, back on Sept 24, 2003.
And what will be the name of this mini-rover? mini.me()?
And who will you be cosplaying as?
OK, ok, you got me...
Just drive that station wagon into the cargo hold of this Cargo jet, or overseas shipment... now make fun of it...
the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with iPods.
You sure you don't mean this link?
Hastur?
Agggghhhhh!
I just had to say it!

They do indeed get snow in Texas. I don't live there, but December 1999 I was passing through Amarillo on I-40 and got stuck in a snow squall.
Or maybe, how about doing this task in COW?

Ya know, now that you say that...
Who will buy who? Will Microsoft buy Wal-Mart, or Wal-mart buy Microsoft? It's only a matter of time until the two come at each other now.

Slight misconception from the summary. The event happened on August 27.
But that was August 27, 1998. Not just a couple weeks ago.
