I know you're joking, but some people won't realize that blu-ray (405nm) can store more data per disc than a green could. It can be focussed more tightly.
Is anyone else just completely fed up with NASA and the ISS and our essentially stagnant space program? Most of the stories over the last few years have been: Weather-related delays. (yawn) Toilet malfunctions (a technology that should have been figured out, oh, say... 30 years ago?) #(&$ing FOAM insulation that has been documented as inferior to the original version in use 25 years ago, because of some environmental concerns. Sure, we could go back to the old version for the last 3 or 4 flights, but hey, it's only people's lives at stake, right?
I'm not sure if I'd use Grant Imahara as the "lowest common denominator" as you do... He's an MIT graduate, after all... Besides, Tori and Kari failed to beat it...
Prices have come down recently, so it's not a terrible idea... As long as the apps you need are available. And we have clamx av. I am sounding smug right now after talking to three people today I moved over to Mac OS and they're all happy.
In all seriousness, if you see this post, and want it fixed for a reasonable (non-$400) price, respond to my slashdot handle @ the domain in my url. I'll get you in contact with my friend's business that does screen/touchpad/battery replacements at a very good price.
It is absolutely thought out and quite effective. I do the same thing. Sure there are going to be brute-force/dictionary spam attempts on some domain names, but small, semi-private ones? Not likely.

I was. I had to fix one of their overheating, POS DVR/WMC's for a customer and it turned out it was under someone else's name from the beginning of the ordering process. It was very lengthy, and very difficult to figure out the original purchaser and their information. Until we had it, they would NOT honor warranty (even though they were perfectly capable of checking the serial number) or even quote prices for parts or labor. Never again.

Who says that was "unhacked" Scotty had already stated that planet-to-planet beaming "which is easy by the way" was do-able according to the theory he already had.... And he was manning the controls. Poor Porthos...
As for the warp scale, as far as I'm concerned, it was meaningless the moment a temporal incursion took place. We don't know the maximum warp factor for THAT Enterprise. Let alone how they calibrated the warp scale. What if in universe A, Warp 3 was 80 times the speed of light, but in the new one, it's 103? Remember Journey's End? Warp 13? TNG canon said warp 10 was infinite speed and couldn't be reached, etc... etc...
Obviously, this is only for those who have seen it...
My friend was asking me, and I don't get it either...
Nero captures Spock when he comes through... He wants Spock to see the destruction of Vulcan... So instead of strapping him down in front of a viewscreen, making him watch them fire the weapon, and watching Spock's reaction to this catastrophic event.... He strands him on a nearby planet where he's able to safely watch... And oh, by the way, there's a Starfleet outpost handy if he needs to make contact and get a ride somewhere.... ?
I loved the movie, don't get me wrong. Explain, though? Please? Someone?
It's got to be irony when, the day after April fools day, the day the virus in question was supposed to "detonate" for lack of a better word, the easiest method of detection is THIS.
Well, the vault part might be a bit metaphoric, but they only get to keep 1-2 items, personally, at the end of their term. I thought I heard the Clintons tried to squirrel away a few more.
The white race started racism 600 years ago? That little pearl of wisdom pretty much invalidated the whole clip for me. I may have been a geeky Trek fanboy years ago, but just because I really enjoy BSG doesn't mean I'm going to swallow THAT.
It is absolutely crippled. In every sense of the word. Go check out BluePhone Elite for Mac OS X or something equivalent for windows. Most $50 Sony Ericsson phones can interact with your computer on a level that puts the iPhone to shame.
Speaker phone, caller ID on the screen, SMS's through the phone, you type and read on the screen... Proximity sensing to turn off your screen saver. All sorts of cool stuff that the iPhone doesn't allow. Oh, and FILE TRANSFER built in...
This pisses me off to no end. As a stockholder, I *really* hate reading that AT&T has gouged another one. Seriously. BUT, isn't there a clause or statement in the TOS that says streaming video is a no-no?
In his farewell email, my friend used the title/subject line "All Good Things..." Mine was "What you Leave Behind..." Good thing we didn't have a third, or people would have panicked when they saw the subject, "Endgame"
Another friend somehow got his hands on a shirt that said "So long and thanks for all the passwords" for his exit interview/layoff "notification".
It takes every misgiving and paranoid delusion I have about "Big Business" and amplifies them by 100. I'm a pretty conservative "Free-market" kinda guy, but hearing this sort of thing makes me hope the Obama administration and their DOJ take the gloves off when it comes to monopolies and breaking them up.

I'm starting to have serious concerns about anyone who puts the queen on their money.

I bet a shiny quarter it was a college student from a fairly liberal school that is anti-police, anti-taser, etc... Probably an art student.
Clever prank, I guess. It would probably spook me out of peeing in that bathroom.
No middle ground on this one. No negotiation. The verdict will be unanimous.
Oh, and Dan Aykroyd better start doing crunches, and I mean NOW.
I meant All Good Things... Not Journey's end. Someone shoot me for confusing a TNG and Voyager finales.

If I could mod him down or mod you up for pointing out the theft, I would!
Subject says it all.
Is it still hip to ridicule their funny accents?
