One of the tasks of the Widernet project is to take old PCs, install a static copy of part of the Internet on them, then ship the computers to developing countries in Africa so that they can benefit from the knowledge without having a dedicated connection. For working equipment, this would be an excellent way to keep the computers from being junked.
...in episode True-Q, the Earth has developed a "weather net" that will prevent tornados from forming and generally control the weather. The "Q" override this weather net, causing a tornado that destroys the house that a young girl's parents lived in.
Because all Star Trek technobabble will eventually become true, someone will inevitably invent a device to control the weather on the Earth.
I posted about this before, but fortune.com has never changed their favicon.ico from the default that comes with Netscape Enterprise server. When do you suppose they'll figure it out?
Piggy Bank promises to turn Firefox into a semantic web browser by providing a means to mine data from web sites and then use that data on other web sites. It's like Greasemonkey for data on the web.
Is any repackaging FOSS for distribution through "standard" tools on Windows? That's the conclusion I've come to in order to support distribution of updates.
The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978) is classic. You can only find bootleg copies of it, but the IMDb site has a link to this site which is devoted to the show. (There was also a funny April Fool's story about this movie being released on DVD.)
The last two episodes of Enterprise, "In a Mirror, Darkly", did just that! They even changed the show's theme (at both the beginning and end of the show) and the title sequence. I thought it was very well done, but then I'm also a Trek fan and hated to see the series end.
Does anyone else find it funny that the Fortune.com web site has a Netscape favicon installed? Did someone forget to change the default favicon.ico file from Netscape Enterprise Server 4.1?
And what will you do when Mainstream Support for VB6 is retired on March 31, 2005? Extended support lasts another 3 years, but Microsoft will only provide security fixes for free during that period. You must pay (or have a support contract) for all other support requests. And when Extended Support ends on March 31, 2008, you're really screwed.

I hope this isn't the first step on the way to creating Ice-Nine!
So you're telling me that the pigs' blood is green, too? Doesn't that make them Vulcan?
next year, I'm all for it!

The only other place I've heard "co-opetition" is out of Darrell Waltrip's mouth this season while Fox was broadcasting NASCAR events.

What do you expect? They're a couple of Dicks.

Why would you want to stay with VB6 again?
He's obviously not married with children.
Why doesn't the movie industry get ".mov" approved for movie web sites? Some of the domainnames they're using for movies these days are just stupid.
...to take away Intel employees' external web access so they'll work harder.
I cruise upstream at a blazing 16Kbps. Thank you, Mediacom. :P
Apparently, Jonathon doesn't know about the Mono Project, since moving a .NET application to another platform wouldn't require a rewrite.
