Which is why the first few seasons of DS9 were also not that great. It didn't get interesting until Michael Piller took it over and Berman turned his attention to Voyager.
Not to mention Ronald D. Moore (now of Battlestar Galactica).
They had a very small population, and exploited vast natural resources. They weren't very efficient at all. remember the Buffalo?
The original colonists never made it past the Appalacians. They never saw any buffalo, nor did they see any bison (which is what you probably meant), because bison roam the Great Plains. And the bison were deliberately exterminated as part of the Native American genocide. It wasn't overconsumption.
They also succeeded because they co-operated. Do you think they did things as individuals? Of course not - things were organized in groups, and people did a lot for one another, and the greater good.
Yes, but largely because it was in their personal self-interest to do so. I think it overstates the case to say they were self-reliant, because there was still interdependence between them. But they at least all pulled their weight.
The government is now better equipped to repress us and violate our human rights. What, you didn't think the government was going to do something GOOD with the extra money, did you?
If GM sold cars with that only accepted gas from GM gas pumps and I removed their gas tap and replaced it with a standard gas tap, would I be breaking the law?
No, but if GM made you sign a contract to never do that as a condition of selling the car to you, you would be in breach of contract.
"Late Night with Conan O'Brien", which airs after Jay Leno's show on NBC, follows the same basic format as all the other late night talk shows. Every night, the audience starts cheering when Conan O'Brien mentions something as setup for a joke. And Conan always mocks them for it. So, at least on late night talk shows, it's pretty much established behavior.
Surveys that suggest that the internet is "over" or was a failed experiment because kids in the suburbs have stopped downloading music are not only wrong they have an ulterior motive.
Translation: everyone who disagrees with me is not only wrong, but also evil.
Actually, the original Apple SuperDrive was a floppy drive. What was so "super" about it is that it read both 800 KB low-density disks and 1.4 MB high-density disks.
Are you trolling, or just stupid? I'm not going to bother doing your research for you. Just look up "Wahabbi" or "Wahhabism". It's a fundamentalist sect of Islam that's just as fundamentalist as America's fundamentalist Christians, if not more so. And it's just the beginning.
However, in Esperanto, you can make up words in such a way that they will be immediately understood. If such a word doesn't already exist, you can make up a word that means "a place for horses" by compounding "horses" and "a place for". I suppose to abstract further, you could come up with "a place for livestock".

I have a mental image of Paramount executives sitting around watching Battlestar Galactica wailing, "Why did you leave us, Ronald D. Moore? Noooooo!"

You have my sincerest sympathies that they didn't reunite Dirk Benedict, Richard Hatch, and the corpse of Lorne Greene for "Galactica 2005".
I can think of about 3 tv shows ever that were simple ended
Cheers, Friends, TNG, DS9, Voyager, B5, Seinfeld...

What if Canada deports me? I'm screwed!
The last time I saw a KHR-1 they looked like walking chrome toasters!
Our friend from the UN would never agree to that, because with that arrangement, there's an internet that the UN *doesn't* control.

I didn't know he was an editor here.

An iPod, Sony CyberShot, and GSM phone duct-taped together.
A square is a rhombus, you insensitive clod!
Star Trek was cancelled in 1969. The last episode aired June 3, only weeks before the moon landing.

There are very few people outside the US that fall into the sort of "fundamentalist" category that you are describing.
Not fundamentalist Christians, perhaps. But for other religions--well, just look at Saudi Arabia, for one.
Not revolts. Peaceful protests.
Not put down brutally. Turned to paste underneath the tracks of the PLA's tanks.
What kind of sci-fi movies and TV shows were out before Star Wars?
Star Trek, 2001, Planet of the Apes (Soylent Green?)

I assume by "someone" you mean "Darl McBride"?
I don't speak Esperanto, but I know about it.
