I agree with your comments, but my original argument was on the merits of doing another land-based show, not why make a follow-up in general. Like you said, it costs a lot of money to make, and I see them moving to a land-based show as a way to save on the cost. However, this could mean that the prequel series will once again be horribly low budget and feature such gripping drama as chasing newer humanoid model Cylons through the buildings of the city.
But it's a prequel, so they shouldn't have newer models, right? Doesn't matter, they have no budget anymore for robotic looking things, so they try and make it fit with continuity best they can.
Meanwhile, BSG fans are horrified by the continuity changes and Enterprise viewers just give them a hug.
Okay, so the 1980's redo and this show aren't exactly the same, but come on, if a land-based show failed the first time, why do it again? For the same reason, when people ask me if I've watched the new Knight Rider, I reply, "No. I already saw Knight Rider 2000 and Viper"
While the parent has been modded offtopic, I really think we need to give this comment more credit into its deeper meaning and how it relates to the article.
I think the AC clearly intends for "Fuck the Chinese government!" to mean that there needs to be more penetration testing of networks. I'm not entirely sure what he meant by "Free Tibet!," however. I think it might mean to let our packets go, that they do not need to be mangled anymore.
So, clearly the AC was not offtopic, probably just a bored author dying to make a metaphor between novels.
Is this problem fixed? I still have no idea what the hell causes it and the solution is less then ideal. If anyone has any other information they would like to add on this, please do so, because it bewilders me.
I don't think engineers are terrorists, but rather terrorists are engineers. Some rudimentary knowledge of bomb making, architectural structures, and other engineering fields are usually ideal if you're going to blow up a building.
A marketing or business major would not be suitable for the young terrorist. This would lead to things such as radical groups forcing us to buy that blue jacket which we don't really like and think is overpriced anyway, but now we have to buy it or concede that they are right.
I agree 100%. There shouldn't be any reason to add the local service group to the admins, but until Microsoft comes out with a fix, I have no idea what else to do. I don't see why the two problems are connected or even why the "fix" fixes this problem.
Among the Vista *features* I've found the most annoying, is this: At some point, not exactly sure when, or why it happens, but Vista will completely quit playing any and all media files in any media application. A search for trying to fix this problem will just tell you to get codecs. However, at the same time this occurs, one may notice that their network connectivity icon in the systray has a little red x over it even though you are connected. Any attempts to bring up network devices through the start menu or by right clicking on the icon usually will result in a long delay before any network options are presented to you. (It may appear that it is frozen, but given enough time, it will come up). Researching this problem led me to discover that in order to fix this problem I need to type "net localgroup Administrators/add Local Service" at the command prompt. I've found this both in Vista Home Premium 32bit and Vista Enterprise 32bit and 64bit.
Living in Ohio has just gotten worse apparently. I have Time Warner at two different residences and for some reason they charge me two different rates for Road Runner. Also, having decided I want to save money, I canceled cable at one residence so I would just be paying for Road Runner. Unfortunately, Road Runner was cheaper since I was getting some sort of package deal, which was then no longer in effect. So, my rate on Road Runner went up, thus saving me no money. At my other residence, Road Runner quits working for several days every now and again. I keep calling tech support, they keep saying it's my fault. Other people with Road Runner in the same apartment complex have the same issue at the same time. So, no, it's not my fault. My cable modem did not just spontaneously decide to quit working. If Verizon were any better at either location, I would switch. Until some good competition forms, I'm stuck with one of two evils.
How about you just give me the $999 and I promise you I will not do a DNA scan of any kind! In fact if you want to remain completely anonymous, and not worry about invasion of privacy of any kind, just send cash! I promise not to tell you a thing or your money back!
Amen to that. That site is really annoying because I keep clicking on their damn links before I realize it's that site once again. it would be great if I could automatically remove it from all results right off the bat.
And I'm of course assuming you mean experts-exchange, right? Otherwise, never mind. Well, wait, I still don't want to see the other one either.
It's not so much that I'm an underclassmen. It's more the fact that I'm married and not from Athens. Being married means I don't hang out with people up on court street (actually, only a few times with my wife at Donkey). Also, not being from Athens and living away from the campus means I'm most likely not going to make a special trip into town and find a parking space and try to avoid the myriad number of people with iPods that walk in front of cars and generally don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.
If OU actually offered something other than CDigix , then we students wouldn't have to resort to other means. Now, being an OU Computer Science student, I myself don't participate in rampant file sharing with everyone. But a number of friends of mine, all who own iPods, neither know anything nor care about DRM. All they know is that the music on the their little box works and they like to get music from their friend's little boxes. I've tried explaining to some that it's technically illegal to do that, but they just don't care because they don't see it as doing anything wrong. We have one major store in town, Walmart, and it's not within a reasonable walking distance. Why would freshman/sophomores, living in the dorms, who aren't allowed vehicles on campus, want to bother with trying to get to Walmart to buy a disc when they can just get it from their friend down the hall?
It's quite ridiculous to compare open source to communism. The whole of human civilization is founded on open source collaborative efforts. Just imagine if the first caveman to invent the wheel had decided not to share his idea and instead make it proprietary. We'd have perhaps millions of different circular shaped objects that would be entirely incompatible with each other!

But what really surprises me is that someone referenced The Tick, specifically the cartoon version, to emphasize reading...
Just wondering if maybe it's my browser, but license-linux.aspx doesn't seem to work. Anyone else?

Does anyone else remember zombo.com (requires flash)? Amazingly the site is still active, and still the same after 10+ years.

Interestingly enough, Ohio State University has a tech page for this problem:

Isn't it illegal to even mention that a copy protection program might be faulty due to the DMCA?
