Since the early days of the Web, the various companies behind Star Trek have failed at doing anything on the web that wasn't already done better by scores of fansites. (I keep having flashbacks to the peak of my Trekkieness, when the official Trek site was on freaking MSN of all things.) The fandom will be fine without that particular dot-com.
It's the handful of employees in that photo I really feel bad for.
Gotta love the caroling stormtroopers. Although, the mental image of them singing in that special stormtrooper way is now firmly lodged in my mind's ear..

Burt Rutan, always reticent to comments on progress of any project, says nothing to support or contradict Virgin Galactic's announcement. That's because this Rutan and his brethren are far too busy preparing for the next stage in their ongoing interstellar war against the Sontaran Empire.
My work requires my test equipment (45kg) and its power module (20kg), a signal generator (20kg), a specter analyser (30kg), an oscilloscope (5kg), a lab power suply (5kg) and dozens of meters of various cabling What's it like being a Ghostbuster?
Google's Eric Schmidt called the data release 'a terrible thing,' and assured the public that 'this kind of thing could not happen at Google.' Eric, you fool! Have you no concept of the world's tencency toward drama and hilarity? Loudly declaring "this kind of thing could never happen at Google" is like saying "at least it's not raining" or "it's a million-to-one chance" or some other damn fool thing that will prove you wrong nine times out of ten.
I was no longer the #1 hit for: Bill Roehl, "Bill Roehl", or any variation thereof. Perhaps there is simply someone else who is better at being Bill Roehl than you. Don't fret, though. You can always go back to Bill Roehl School and brush up with some post-graduate Bill Roehl stuff.
Personally, I'm comfortable with the fact that I'm only the second-best me out there. Let that other fella have his glory, because I'm never going back to the Rob Vincent Academy. I'm not going into it here, but those bastards Rob, Rob, and Rob know why.
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. It's Google, and it's one of the oldest ideas on the Internet which they haven't yet done; before the dot-com bubble burst there were at least half a dozen sites that claimed to provide an online "drive" of sorts - X-drive and E-drive are ones that come to mind, I think they advertised on the radio. Going further back, I remember using an online storage service on CompuServe in 1995 or so.
Any thoughts how we could create a fixed unit of value that would be as valid today as it will be in 10,000 years? Football Fields per Library of Congress.
Notice it does not say placing a bet online while within the state. It makes it illegal from them to place a bet online-- period.
I can't even go to a New Hampshire internet cafe to get my fix. IANAL, but isn't it pretty much impossible for a state law to apply outside state lines? I don't think you bring your state's laws with you when you travel. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What's to stop people from screenshotting the pages and placing them into a pdf? Nothing at all, but it probably makes their suits happier to emptily delcare otherwise.

Good news, everyone!
If you find a reliable way to make end-users RTFM, please let us know.
Bwahaha!! Screw the downmodders, that made my morning.
Goodnight Ernestine, wherever you are!
One wouldn't really need much of a compression algorithm to store the string "I have no emotions, because I am an android. That makes me very sad."
And there's a picture of a bee!
"Beeeeeep."
The piracy angle would make this /.-worthy whatever country it was.
Heh, it's enough to know someone got the ref. God, I'm old..
