  1. Re:Will there be more episodes? on Sci-Fi Channel Picks Up Firefly · · Score: 1

    As far as I understand it, Fox sold the rights to the show to Universal along with the feature film rights. How else would Sci-Fi (one of Universal's stations) be showing the tv-show.

  2. new series on Sci-Fi Channel Picks Up Firefly · · Score: 1

    why go back to TV when you can make movies instead. Joss would get more money for effects/casting and there is a lot better prospects for profit.

  3. Re:BitTorrent on The Lost 1984 Mac Video · · Score: 1

    getting a file not found error... apparently can't connect to the tracker. ahhh, the major shortcoming of bit torrent. (mind you, there aren't very many of them)

  4. Space Elevator on What's Next in the New Private Space Industry? · · Score: 1

    The real holy grail of spaceflight is a space elevator. Although the technology to build one does not yet exist, it is definitely on the way. A space elevator would allow a cheap way to move large masses into orbit, paving the way for easy interplanetary travel. Ships could be built in orbit, avoiding the need for compromises that would be inherent in any vessel that had to both escape from earth's gravity well and travel to another planet.

  5. what? on Verizon PCMCIA Card Just Works · · Score: 1, Insightful

    yeah, i agree that it is really cool that our beloved mac os has so many drivers preinstalled, but come on, is this really a /. worthy story?

  6. Re:Java and misc. development on Mac on PowerBook Performance for Java Development? · · Score: 5, Informative

    but don't buy the RAM from Apple, buy the computer with minimal ram, and upgrade later. Apple charges exorbitant prices for its RAM upgrades.

  7. Re:almost unrelated Quicktime question on iTunes 4.2 and QuickTime 6.5 · · Score: 1

    i am pretty sure that mplayer will handle quicktime movies...
