I don't suppose part of the deal is getting rid of that guy everyone hates, is it? (bremer, bermer) Might be a good move if it is. I am tired of plot flaws in the show. The Andorian planet one just about killed me. Yeah, a race of reclusives that you can't get in touch with, but they can call you up on the video phone *rolling eyes*.
Add this feature to Tivos and other DVRs that are connected to the web, and you will revolutionize TV networks, DVRs, and how we all deal with TV.
Its been hinting at this for awhile with service providers moving from one delevery type to a information delevery type. For example phone companies are changing from specifically phone use, to high speed providers that can do phone among other things.
Just think that at some point in the future, TV companies will not be associated with a channel, but more related to a website. For example, instead of going to channel 23 for Cartoon Network to watch Anime, you may go to their website and get a feed to watch the shows you like. No "TV" channels will even exist. That downloadable chunck will have a small set of ads with it so they can get their revenue. Ads targeted a bit more directly at their consumer as well.
Its like a SUPER Season Pass for the Tivo crowds. If Tivo is smart they will jump at this immediately. Even extend this to SUPER Season Pass podcast radio shows. Wicked cool.
I got a cheap Gigafast and it will do everything but let me play Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield Vietnam. NOT SERVEING mind you, just playing. Heck I open the ports for serving just in case that worked.
I think a general academy show would be good, but using young versions of Kirk and the gang has a high probability of disappointing fans. Starting fresh with new charachters is probably the best bet.
I meant that people were porting engineering programs for use in linux, or just creating them there.
(hey I was tired and had just been up for two days)
I think Infinitys needs to do some reading on how fuelcells have been progressing. I highly suggest getting the newsletter at Fuel Cells 2000. Honda is really moving forward on getting a production version out on the road.
Still, I think they should size a few of the projects towards what people really use. SUV's and Truck sized vehicles is what I'm thinking. You see, they need to connect with the common person. The common person has to haul people and stuff around, not just a transportation for themselves. I think it would be huge step if they could get a full size truck version that would appeal to contractors and workers in the blue collar world. If they start using vehicles based on Fuel Cells, things will follow quite quickly afterwards.
Yeah, Im sure Kleenex and Xerox would agree. Sorry sucka, thats how the ball bounces. I would love to see Adobe try to sue someone on this. Then watch as the courts slam them (in all its irony) stating that Photoshop is so popular, its name has become part of the lexicon of people world wide. Basically, DEAL WITH IT!
"If you don't like living in the United STATES then LEAVE"
Probably one of the most Un-American thing I have ever heard. Yet, I keep hearing it. I look at those people and wonder what country they are visiting from. America is about the right to have different opinions and to CO-EXIST PEACEFULLY together.
I remeber when Google was an obscure no-name web search. There was talk about how some nerds had come up with a new way to search results. I tried very early on and fell in love. Long before the masses ever figured it out.
I suspect if there ever is a challenger for Google, it will arise from a similar place. A obscure group of nerds thinking up a new way to search things (outside the box), not a big mega company that is trying to be competitive (like MSN).
Im still waiting for fuel cell vehicles to become standard. If they would just make a car we would ACTUALLY use. None of these tiny little fly traps. Get me a BIG fuel cell vehicle and Ill be there in a flash.
Im sure we will use the lessons from hybrids and new battery design in the future of fuel cell vehicles, but I suspect that hybrids are only a step on the way to better cars.

Return of the Mac

"Maybe you should post how it took you 7 hours to tranfer 14MB on a Mac." What the heck are you talking about?
Actually I HAVE used a mac in the last four years. Heck, even this year (groan). My sister always brings me in to fix her friends and at the schools she works at. Yet, I have NEVER seen one with anything but a "stupid" mouse (as one dude refered to them).
As a side note, the status of the computers in some of our Alaskan (refering to Anchorage elementary) schools SUCKS! They don't even hire a techie for each school. They (in anchorage) have a couple of techies in the admin building in town, and they give a teacher or two in the school a few bucks extra if they have some slight computer training to maintain things. I always get a head ache when my sister brings me in to look at them. They are in a horrible state from a slightly advanced computer users standpoint. Ugh...
How do you right click a mac??? OOOH, WAIT! You don't...
(as I sit here with my 5 button mouse, worshiping its functionality.)
PLUS, hackers might like a mac, but for the Engineers of the world Macs are best used for paper weights. I can't think of a single engineering specific program for a mac. If anything, the engineering software is moving or adding functionality to Linux.
As USUAL, this doesn't apply to Alaska. Dosent surprise me seeing that most americans think that Alaska isn't part of the US, much less part of the same continent.
(of note there was a big lawsuit against lower48 retailers who used to say free shipping (or similar) on the continent, but then refused Alaska)
I think the question is whether Freedom of Speach or Slander is the more important thing to think about. According to how the country grew up we were allowed to speak freely even about our employ when off hours. In the last century businesses have been trying to erode that by trying to reclassify it as slander or other category.
To me our country should protect our Freedom of Speach first and foremost.
Yes, in Anchorge, Alaska there is a park called earthquake park (which my sister lives near) and the effects of the quake are quite apparent. For example my sister lives in a house that is say maybe 500 feet from the ocean. Before the quake it was half a mile or more from ocean. What happened is that say 300 feet from her place all the land past that point dropped down and everything past 500 feet now is under the inlet. When the tide is out, you can still see debri from the concrete houses that were destroyed (foundations even).
I also have to wonder what happened to ships at sea. True, the waves of Tsunami are supposed to be quite a bit less due to no shallow water, but still it would have been a big (rouge) wave from and unexpected direction. How many ships in that ocean out at sea saw damage or were destroyed?
I would think a big concern is that marine maps and charts of the area are probably all off. Not only from the movement of the plates and position of where stuff sits on that plate, but quite often the quake causes underground sluffing and rock slides where there were once cliffs to essentially underground hills (mountains) will change position. So where a deep draft vessel could once run... They saw a lot of this in Alaska after the 1964 quake here.
Has this issue been addressed by anyone? This big of a quake could affect things thousands of miles away.
Heck, I think we take all the space trash and bring it to the station. Then, give Red Green a bunch or duck tape and a welder, and VOILA!!! MEGA space station!
You know, after them glaring at me when they first showed up, I don't really notice them much anymore. If I do, they are Google relavent text adds about what I am searching for.
Actually I find them entertaining because I usually have like 40 web pages open, and I am curious what they think I am searching for.

I call it the ANTI-GAMING router. Pbbbtthht!
It may have already have been said, but how about NASA embracing the use of bittorrent? It would solve a bit of their problems.
Who will be stuck working the nano-weigh station of the future? Sounds like a crappy job with a Small paycheck.

Well, after we send the minurature dog into space (chiwawa) then we have to send a minurature John Glenn.
After that if the tin hat brigade is right, we will have to fake a minurature moon landing...

Ive never had a problem with Opera's Java. You would have to go into more detail on that.
You may want to check out Opera again at version 8, because they have been steadily improving.
