Yes, a whole country speaking the NEEP language, measured in a system based on the metra, cashing in on pressed latinum, and in the Endorian time zone would really fix all the problems. If only I could take over the world and get this passed. LE-sigh....
How about a slashdot webradio call in show. We could get to hear all the/.'ers out there. Nothing like a radio discussion about whether Star Trek or Star WArs is best.;D
If only everyone had something like a Tivo DVR. A few years back I knew I liked Farscape, but never got to see it due to its timeslot. I got a DVR, a season pass to the show, and that all changed. It is now in my top ten shows (Futurama is no. 1 tho).
Wouldn't it be nice if the timeslot crap disappeared from the fate of a show. sigh...

Also this needs to also go and cover the situation between radio stations and record companies. Do you know that radio stations have to PAY the record companies per song, despite the fact that the stations is doing multiple services for the record company. They track songs, tell which are good, provide free advertising for the cd, and usually provide encouragement for people to buy the CD's.
This new WOFO group would make it free for radio stations to use ANY song as long as they provide those services mentioned above!
You know, many GOOD businesses provide various courtesy services to make them happy. The easiest to show is that many businesses all around provide courtesy coffee and hotchocholate and a waiting room. This is just to make their customers happy.
I also know quite a few places that when getting a car worked on or something, wash and detail your car for free. There are quite a wide range of options availiable I have heard of to give customers perks.
FREE Wifi though at a business is actually taking that to anouther level. Not only could a customer be a little happier in the waiting room surfing the web, but quite often a customer can use say a PDA and WIFI to reasearch info regarding the business. May help them decide what they want to get, may enable them to contact family, friends, or other shops for valuable info. Or conversely send info to same, such as "pick me up while I get my car worked on". Etc...
May not be an idea for micro-small businesses, but may be a good idea for smaill-medium established companies on up.
They NEED to come out with Fuel Cell SUV's. Big ones too. A large SUV with over 80mpg would change how people view them, AND reduce our use of the fuel.
First one to come out with such a vehicle will own the market.:D
Look into the reasearch into Pebble Bed Nuclear reactors. They are a safer replacement to traditional nuclear. NOT perfect but much safer. Of note I believe there are two types. One which the pebbles have a special coating and others which are a mix of special material all the way through. The latter is safer I believe.
That combined with Fuel Cells, Solar, and Micro Turbines could move us a step forward to meeting energy needs.
I still think they have caught on to something. Notice that both Futurama and Family Guy (previously canceled) are now being picked up again by FOX. This apparently due to cartoon network getting it to a larger and different crowd. Running twice a night at different time periods helps get a wider audience and may be more convienient for people. I suggest running at 8pm and 2am.
Well, hopefully the guy I replied to will take it to opera and tell them the demand it had. He said it was his javascript they used. His name was JediTrainer .
You should talk them into making the Bork feature a toolbar option on all new opera programs. So we can change any page to BOrk! Secondly if someone would make a bork skin with the Chef that would be friggin awesome!
I love opera and second your view. It takes a bit of customization to get it how I like it, but after that Im in LOVE! Gotta get the page bar on the bottom of the screen. Wish it came that way.
You know every show of Trek is a different flavor. Your not going to like all the flavors all the time.
If you don't like the current flavor, the best way to get what you want is to write down what you want in a flavor (show) and send it to the Trek empire, Trek fan groups, and possibly your own website. That way the next incarnation may be pleasing to the pallete, OR the current show my have a flavor change (Much like the change in DS9 when they changed production companies in '96 (if I recall))
BEEP!!! BEEP!!! BEEP!!! Don't forget backing up to the kiss of death fridays.
I think that wouldn't be so bad if they used an airing system like ADULTSWIM on cartoon network. They run a show three times a night and their timing lets them catch all the night owls. If UPN replayed the show say at 1am and 3am they would catch everyone coming in from a night of fun. Drunks like scifi too!
Are they going to create scientific tools to add on? That way use them for more than just connectivity and entertainment. Much more Tricordy as well.
Record temp, magnatism, pressure, various environmental variables, noise, radiation, etc... Plus add on a camera with IR and other capabilities. Have all data run via WIFI at points to save to a large hard drive. Let the scientists on the ground review later.
Can they create modified RFIDs tags that require pushing a button on the card or say placing your finger in a spot that completes a circuit? That way no one could steal the info because the RFID is off without the circuit, and you could use the card when you want by just completing the circuit.
I knew it. I told my friends "ITS TIME FOR A BLIMP AND ZEPPLIN COMEBACK!!!"...usually over beer......usually standing on a table...
Regardless, I have always thought zepplins and blimps have deserved anouther look with new technology and materials running about. A bit bummed about it being a big brother blimp, but its nice to see them come back.
The areas I can see getting much attention are radial blimp shapes, computer aided control and station keeping systems (reducing problems from the wind by being able to adjust control surfaces and vents to keep blimp stable and in right place), reduced weight and flamability due to new materials, and different propulsion/control systems.
But they are more reliable than friends. Always there to ask to move millions of dollars. sigh... Its rather comforting in a way... kind of like death and taxes.
I guess we will just have the Nigerian fraud to keep us company. Glad that one will never go away. Ive almost come to enjoy seeing emails with it in the message. sigh...

Bang your head against a soda machine to get a coke. If it doesn't work, keep banging!!!

That and don't run it on fridays.
Well, hopefully the guy I replied to will take it to opera and tell them the demand it had. He said it was his javascript they used. His name was JediTrainer .
I wish they would make it a permanent tool in opera for any webpages.
:D
Secondly produce some bork skins.

They are all cheating. TIVO must be worshiped and not cheapened. I spend much of my day at the Tivo shrine.OOOOHHHHMmmmmmm. oooohhhhmmmm.
I love the season pass option. It makes shows better by getting to watch a whole season at once.
I see all the post its, but shouldn't they all have witty or sarcastic notes on them? This was a prank that wasn't completed.
