This news is at least a year old! This is the 25th Year Anniversary of the original series. This is just a mini-series. This is going to suck! Nobody likes what they have done. There are SEVERAL petitions to stop this from airing! The fans and Richard Hatch (Appolo from the series) have been trying to get a continuation of the original series. Richard Hatch has written 4 books continuing the saga. This site is a great place to get the information on the new mini series.
Where to start. There is no more 12 colonies on 12 planets. There is 12 colonies on 1 planet. The cylons weren't created a reptilian race. The cylons were created by the humans to fight each other. All the characters are pale shadows of themselves. Anything that made them look and act like a hero is gone. Starbuck & Boomer are both now woman. Mr. Moore turned this once great show into a social propaganda engine. Don't expect this to be anything like the original because he is basing this on the the original Battlestar Galactica movie which was the first few episodes of the show and does have a lot of the character development.
I got tired of the show after the second season, and stopped watching it when they turned into a social propaganda engine.
I liked Angel better. The writting used to be better, but the writing has gotten old lately. Like the world was ending and instead of going out and saving the world, one character decides to screw the son of the guy she loves. WTF?
I will stick with Stargate SG-1. I am currently watching seasons 5 and 6 at the same time.
It doesn't. It is another example of the Recording industry removing the consumer out of the loop. This is not good for consumer based economics. This means they'll use this to justify charging us more, and then when consumers speak back with file sharing they'll complain more. I can't wait to watch the Recoridng industry implode in on itself.
I do have one question. What's next programs to listen to these "hit" songs?
The problem is there is no way to prove either method is true. A theory is a theory because it cannot be proven as a law--no matter what you say Evolution as the way all life on Earth began will always be a theory. In the end, it all comes down to what you believe--or what some would call faith.
Evolutionists say, "see we are showing how this organism is evolving from this to this", but you can't say the same thing applies to everything else in the world! They can find all the skeletons they want, but it will still not prove humans evolved from some other primate. To fully prove this, you would need a seamless line of skeletons showing minute differences in features of a period over time. There is no garentee that the skeletons are not a line of freak mutations from another primate species evolving to an almost similar being as a human. Currently, there are jumps in the human evolution path with speculation used to fill in the missing skeleton evidence. Can site DNA all you like, but unless you see it happen in humans throughout our entire exhistance, it's not necessarily true.
For all their scientific theory, scientists don't seem think very clearly. There is far too much of a balance in the world for it to to have occured by chance instead of by design. The balance is like balancing the Statue of Liberty on the head of a pin. It's too delicate to have happened by chance. Scientist are always changing there minds, and even the "laws", when they get new "views" into the data, and it's even possible that none of them are correct. What's considered to be law now might just be changed in the future because of a new "view" into the data.
For the record, Creationism and Intelligent Design are not really the same things. Intelligent Design basically states that creation had a designer, but it doesn't rule out evolution. It is not tied to one religion (it is supported by many religions) and makes no real claim on who the designer is/was in the grand scheme of things.
Creationism is a Jewish/Christian belief, and it doesn't rule out evolution. Creationism is a belief that God created the the Earth and the entire universe. There is a Professor (a Physicist I belive) who wrote a very detailed book going into the science of Creationism and how it relates to Evolution.
The idea that the Universe wasn't designed by someone is stupid, maybe if we, as a species, live long enough science will realise the stupidity of some of their ideas.
That should be such as New Hampshire. I am not worried about this problem because we don't have a sales tax. If a company tries to impose a sales tax on me on the internet. I won't buy from them again. It's that simple.
The MPAA actions are scarey. Think of it. Does the government go after the Phone Campanies (threaten legal action) because criminals use it to comminuicate. This is unreal, and really stupid. MPAA is to stupid to offer consumers what they want at prices they are willing to pay, and they're too affraid to go after the people doing the activity because they realize it'll be bad publicity. The MPAA, RIAA, and SAG all suck, and they're populated with morons who don't know anything.
I don't have a lot of experience with XP and TDD, but from what I have seen, only a little of it impresses me. I like the idea of writing the tests as you go along, but some of the "small" steps I've seen in examples are stupid. For example, writing the test but not completely filling in the frame work for the code the object being tested.
In one example I saw, the person wrote the test and the frame work for the function, but didn't write the skellital frame work of the class which contained the function used in the test. They also didn't put in any of the includes/imports that was needed. Instead, they compiled it and added it after the compiler told them these things didn't exist--kind of stupid when you knew it was needed before you compiled.
To me that's too small a step. I can see the benefit in taking small steps, but not taking microsteps. Also, I can see using the compiler errors as a sort of to-do list, but I can't see wait to put something in like a framework and/or includes when you know they are required. That seems excessive and a waste of time.
In some ways this is just a rehash of the methodolgy of structured programming. The way I was taught to break thigns down was to write the higher level code first, and this meant writing empty functions (or functions that return a constant). After that was done, you'd go back and fill in the code in increments. This just seems to be a rehash of that idea--which seemed to get lost mess when the OO craze started.
I'd like to see all these Media devices using these credit card 5gb harddrives. It would make a great way to store all media and make it easy to upload to a pc. All this assumes their estimates of the harddrive's cost is truely $15 a harddrive. These could become the next floppy disks.
It may be cool, but the problem is reading and writing to magnetic media is slower than reading and writing to memory. I once drastrically cut the run time of a function from 20 minutes to under two minutes by reading more data into memory for processing than the function origannally did when I got my hands on it.
I agree with that. I don't see how this has anything to do with Science. Heck, I live in Manchester, NH and I don't see the big deal with this lazy rich man's toy.
That last argument is stupid. All of human history is made up of migration. Truely, no group of people can be said to be native to any one area. The only place humans say they are native to is Earth, but even that is subject to debate depending on which cult you are a member. When I say American, I am saying someone born in the United States who supports their country (not those who like a certain California born person take up arms against the USA). You cannot become President of the United States of America unless you were born in the US, US citizen's should be given preference to any foriegner because in some way even private schools are dependant on the US Government.
Bull, who says the foriegn student is more qualified? Nothign says they are more qualified. That is Most of the top Colleges and Universities discriminate against Americans. Americans should be given more preference than foriegners period. If their is an American student who wants to go there, they should get the spot.
The idea that they stay here is a lot bull, there's no evidence to show most of them stay here in the US and become Citizens. A few good lawsuits will change the colleges and universities minds, and so will losing research money which drives a lot of schools!!!!
Financial aid may not be provided by the government, but it is taken away from US Citizens!!!! I haven't gone on to get my Master because the lack of financial aid. I am usually for smaller government, but yes, the Government should dictate how many foriegn students Harvard, et. al. can except because these schools turn down willing and capable US Students!!!! Americans should come first at United States Schools--period!!!
That Chinese student your working with will probably take his knowledge back to China where they will steal our ideas and technology. Remember China ignores patents and copyrights. China doesn't do much of it's own research anymore. Why should they when they can send over a few students to get the technology at American Universities where they can steal stuff before it hits the market!
The US does produce students of good quality, but their positions are given to foriegn students at the top schools like MIT. Quality has nothing to do with it. Schools like MIT discriminate against Americans.
It doesn't really matter, and to paraphrase another comment: he who pays the money tends to make the rules. I personally feel that foriegners who have no loyalty (or even Americans) to America and it provinces should not be doing research fund by the United States Government--an obvious exception would be when multiple governments are funding the research such as (but not limited to) the UK, Japan, and the United States.
I don't think these foriegners should even be allowed to attend school (any school) here. A lot of them just take what they learned back to their home country, and eventually take jobs away from Americans (with exceptions like Doctors who take the their skills back to their countries to provide a helpful service). I don't think it's wrong to discriminate against foriegn students when they are taking places that could have gone to American students who are equally qualified.
Regardless, the government should have been doing background checks all along for any type of research. Inappropiate people need to be weeded out. Who is inappropiate would depend on the research.
You have no idea what you're talking about. This is about the Government doing background checks into who will be working on it's projects. This is something that will always happen. Background security checks are required for a lot of Government job and research. Get over it!
Slashdot Mirror
I doubt you'll like this version. A lot of that's supposed to be gone.
They have enough problems with people hating the current rewrite of the cript, and you want to add another character twist?
Lorne Greene played Commander Adama on Battlestar Galactica, but most people remember him for his role on Bonanza.

I thought they did, but I do think LOTR:TTT was highly under rated. TTT should have been nominated for more.
In reality, these award shows ar ebecoming more and more out of touch with reality. They seem to be more about Hollywood patting its own back!
That and when I can record the entire content (including any extra stuff) of the shows cheaply without losing the content!
That should be such as New Hampshire. I am not worried about this problem because we don't have a sales tax. If a company tries to impose a sales tax on me on the internet. I won't buy from them again. It's that simple.
You could just move to a state without a sales tax--such as sales tax.

Sure, just list all practical experience--list by company and damage done. We'll get back to you as soon we review you credentials. ;)
