Blakes Seven To Return

No script?
Well, jeez, that's the end of the world. How will they ever make anything?
But wait, here's some news just in: apparently, there are these things called scriptwriters....
No cast?
OMG, another disaster! How will they cope?
Huh, what's that? There's an original cast member involved already? And there are these guys and gals out there - we'll call them actors - constantly looking for new work? And even people - let's call them casting agents - who'll pick the right actors for your production! Genius!
So we'll take a cult series, have some shmucks put pen to paper, get some stiffs with low salary requirements to sleepwalk through at least 2 seasons, and make millions off the merchandising rights. Genius! I recommend 'Blake's 7: Voyager" as the working title. I also recommend at least two sets of DD cups on the bridge crew to keep convention attendence up.
The RIAA's most recent action will motivate p2p programmers to introduce anonymity into their trading system, either by creating a new protocol or (more likely) modifying existing protocols and clients....and with encryption. In theory, each machine offering files could advertise a public key. Requests could be encrypted with that key - leaving them readable only by the sharing machine. The search requests could also be sent with the public key of the requesting machine - leaving the response readable only by the requester. Passive analysis of what's being searched for or shared would be eliminated.
This is very interesting since many web desingers still prefer mac.
If IE is history on mac we can expect them to make web pages that works in safari....
This could be a very good thing.
...if they design for a hobby. If they're paid for their efforts, they'll design for what people use. And with 95% of the browsers in use being IE, safari won't be getting too much attention.
As for Safari's standards compliance, they'd best put their efforts into making sure it has the same set of "non-compliant" features as IE. Otherwise, their users will be left high and dry by the "broken" websites that render fine in IE.
For two device connections? IrDA. It's pretty ubiquitous in current model laptops. And with FIR chipsets or better, the speed beats Bluetooth.
I've had little trouble buying both an IrDA equiped laptop printer and cell phone from local vendors in the past year. I was unable to find similar Bluetooth equiped peripherals. Although Bluetooth may be seeing better adoption in Europe, there isn't a lot of choice available here - particularly when compared to IrDA.
