Jackson has said that Lee's parts were cut from the 3rd film because they should really be part of the 2nd, but he didn't want to start off with wrapping up the 2nd movie. They wanted to start off fresh.

I've been wondering why someone doesn't set up a small company to assemble and sell linux machines with freefo or mythtv. I'd buy one. They'd be cheaper than the > $1000 price tag. And they won't have the issues that Tivo has where they don't skip commercials (I think.)
I thought his SOAP comment was kinda funny. SOAP has a fair amount of over head and I'd think that a different approach would be better, like REST. The disk is one of the bottlenecks in the system and I wouldn't want to add another neck to that, no matter how fast the hardware was.
aw c'mon. It was fun to watch.
And as for Firefly, the captain guy was not casted correctly, that guy sucked. The dude played by Baldwin was a bad ass. He was half the fun
They're thinking about making Firefly into a movie. It's a shame they axed Firefly and John Doe, they were the best shoes on TV (next to Smallville).
see http://www.darkhorizons.com/news-n.htm :
Firefly: The Movie: Prospero reports that it looks like the failed Joss Whedon sci-fi/western series "Firefly" may make a comeback on the big screen. Reports coming in indicate that during a recent Net chat, actor Adam Baldwin said "We will see a FF movie! Within 18 months!?". Its a little ambitious of course (even if it got underway now 18 months is still a little soon), but more certain news is fans of the show can pick up the whole series (incl. unaired eps) in an elaborate upcoming DVD box-set later this year. Thanks to 'VP'.
Well, yeah. But TV right now is mainly analog, and using the band digitally you get some big bitrates. You could play movies like normal TV now (just digitally) but the movie is lost after it's viewed.
Instead, you can use the bandwidth more intelligently and have a receiver catching the video and saving it. You'd have your security layers on that so the movie companies would sign off on it.
Now you have pay per view, but you have to watch it at certain times. Some VOD is where they stream the movie every 1 minute, which is a waste of the bandwidth. You could instead send the movie as a file and the receiver keeps the file around until you want to view it.
The bandwidth for TV stations when used digitally is something like 18MB/bs (can't exactly remember). You could use that bandwidth to stream movies/music to receivers. I was on a project that was doing just that, but we got axed. The infrastructure needed for VOD over TV isn't as great as for cable or Internet.

I use alltheweb instead of google for most things. I use google for the usenet groups.
read the article he only wanted the $250,000

It *is* unconstitutional. We have a seperation of church and state. So "under god" shouldn't be in the pledge.

More Brit soldiers were killed by US soldiers in blue on blue fire than by the Iraqis.
