No, its just a shot of Berman and Braga sitting in director-ish chairs, admitting their wrongs and selecting a worthy heir to the helm before committing suicide on live TV.
Who the hell am I kidding. Probably be a last shot to destroy any continuity that's left, followed by the federation and the romulans going off and blasting the hell out of the gangster planet, without even dropping of their gangster bible.
Though live suicides might get some wicked ratings.
The reason that the shuttle was inefficient is that it was designed to land without crossing the Soviet Union, not because spaceplanes in general are inefficient. You can make it rather better if you allow for a longer glide path.
Matrox's last attempt at a gaming card was the triple-headed Parhelia, which managed to get the 3 accelerated screens, but with abysmal performance on even 1 screen. It was going to be rather nice, since you could just glance to the side rather than mouselooking to the side in FPS games because of the huge field of view.
I see the advantage being that you can run the server and client for a multiplayer game on the same machine without introducing a lot of lag. Saves you a machine at a LAN party, I suppose.
Who got sentenced to death? For that matter, who actually got convicted of anything? You have an accusation that was dropped upon further investigation. Calm the fuck down.
Did you see the PCI-X slots? That's where you put your high-end SCSI RAID controller, and get much faster access than you'll ever see over the SATA ports.
Implementing this with film is easy: just strap a powerful gamma ray source to your head, and film in the surrounding area will be damaged! (no need to mention the damage to your head in the marketing materials...)
The system *could* correct itself by having the postal charges differ for subscribed and unsubscribed mail. If you sent a million letters, you get a discount no matter what the letters contain. If it was made to cost $5/letter instead of $0.05/letter for unsolicited mail sent by the million, then people wouldn't do it, and the extra capacity could go to single-piece batches, like your cookies.
The reason that people spam is that they do not understand that not all recipients are potential customers. Thinking that they would actually remove people from lists who ask to be removed is just asking too much...
No, this is a format for display. When you compile, I presume that the tagging is ripped out so it can be fed into a compiler. The idea is that if you prefer:
void myfunc {//code }
over:
void myfunc {//don't laugh; I've had to deal with it }
then it will be displayed that way (and consistently). Of course... it kind of presumes that you don't make any syntactic errors. Just think a really fancy syntax highlighter, with buzzwords in it.
What irritates me is when the *public* property requires a licensing fee. In Shrek 2, there is a credit to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce because there is a computer generated shot of a hill with giant white block letters on it (spelling Far Far Away, not even like a spoof on 'Hollywood').
I'm really not seeing the one cable in any remotely high end set up. If you're using a home theater PC to supply your content, it has discrete audio and video cards. The video goes to the monitor (probably over DVI) and the audio goes to your receiver (TOSLink or something). You're splitting the cable at both ends, so why not just cable tie discrete cables together? Rather than a high-end digital pipe, this would be nice for low-end 640i video with analog stereo so that I only need one cable each for the DVD player, the satellite box, etc.
I find it amusing when a technology who's only promise is marginally better audio quality goes and distorts the sound with a watermarking algorithm... I mean, if you go to the trouble of 192KHz audio (do people actually record that, or just upsample 96KHz stuff?) you shouldn't mess with the signal, like ever.
The advantage here is that the analog signal only has to traverse a couple of inches of copper trace at most before hitting your re-encode chip, rather than the couple of feet of cable to your recording device. I don't think that the loss over that short of an analog link would be something to care about.
Um... this is just an encrypted version of DVI, with the audio also encrypted and sent on the same cable. Sure all the next generation of devices will have it, but it won't be a good thing. HDMI was awesome when it was proposed a few years ago, but now its just a DRM pipe.
I saw the first two... and I will probably see Episode 3 in first run. I will do it for the same reason that I buy lottery tickets: irrational optimism.
Now, what if we distribute some falsely named yet totally original content that we explicitly say above the link to the torrent is licensed for free to everyone *but* BayTSP? Could we then start filing suits when their automated system starts hopping on to our torrent?
The whole point is, the pollution from a nuclear plant is a heavy brick. You can take this brick, and put it in a box, and bury it. A properly made box, properly sited and cared for, will keep the brick from being released to the atmosphere. A coal or oil plant, on the other hand, releases its pollution in the form of a cloud of particles of various types, some radioactive, some merely extremely toxic, which simply accumulates in the atmosphere.
The leftover fuel would also be greatly reduced if it weren't for the fear of reactors generating weapons materials; there are reactor designs that can run quite happily on the 'waste' from a modern reactor.
As for the Chernobyl and TMI incidents, developments such as pebble bed reactors make such events impossible.
Indeed. Hydrogen powered buses in Reykjavik are like gasoline powered buses in Riyadh: the fuel is right there, so why not burn it? I'm waiting for standard vehicles that can run off of alcohol... surely there's enough land in America to grow potatoes and mix up moonshine to run all the cars...

Men may manage to kill themselves more, but have you seen the stupid places women get their cars?

The supreme soviet was supposed to be sort of congress-like, but got co-opted by other bodies. At least they tried ...

You Americans and your blatant hypocrisy make me want to puke.

How do you propose DoS'ing someone on an independant network based on vulnerabilities in their network protocol?

Indeed. It doesn't even sound like they changed the hosting; just a new guy paying the bill.
We can't have the people distributing that capitalist bourgeois garbage over a Fine Socialist Network, now can we?
