How will this affect the rumoured Stargate movie that is apparently in planning stages?
I could be way offbase here, so if I'm wrong, correct me. That said...
The movie was in the planning stages when they thought season six would be the last episode of SG-1. They wrote that episode intending it to be a series finale. (Kind of appropriate... the series would have started and ended with Abydos.) As it was, they got picked up for an additional season.
The storyline that would have been the Stargate 2 movie ended up becoming the storyline for the season seven finale. That's probably why the ending felt a bit... well, epic I guess is the best word, with a gigantic air-to-air battle in the Antarctic with the Prometheus and its F-302's versus a bunch of death gliders and Al'kesh bombers. (For those who didn't read the article, Browder's character was the one who led the squadron of F-302's.)
Anyway... I'm kinda interested in seeing how this plays out, especially with this "new enemy" we're supposed to be seeing. Also, Claudia Black's character will be coming back for five episodes... that also should be interesting to see.
I wonder if Sega (NFL2k) or Midway(NFLBlitz!) will be able to pull the same
It wouldn't be the first time Midway pulled off a football game without an NFL license. Back in 1990 or thereabouts (I forget the exact year), they released an arcade game called High Impact Football which used nonexistent teams. Apparently it did well enough to rate a sequel called Super High Impact Football. (Now, if they'd just include either in Midway Arcade Treasures 3...)
First off, congrats to the Mozilla Thunderbird team; I switched to Thunderbird months ago and have been EXTREMELY happy with it, with one exception. Kudos on reaching 1.0.
Now, the exception I just mentioned happens to be Palm sync capabilities. I managed to get an extension downloaded and installed a version or two ago, but the data would only sync once (changes I made later to the Visor's address book wouldn't sync to Thunderbird), and I couldn't get the extension to install properly in later versions. I can't imagine that I'm the only one who wants to sync a PalmOS-based device to Thunderbird, or that I'm the only one who's had this problem. Checking Google has been little help, either...
Again, except for this one problem, Thunderbird works great for me. Is there any idea when I can expect this one annoyance to be fixed? (Or get some confirmation I'm the only one having this issue...)
Announced at the European Computer Trade Show in September of 2002, before Warcraft III had even reached retail shelves, Blizzard's Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game has commanded attention for years.
Uhm, just to nitpick... maybe you're thinking 2001, and not 2002. I played an alpha version of World of Warcraft at the 2002 E3. (And even back then I knew it was going to be a LOT better than EverQuest...)
Ne'ermind that X is multiuser. RDP is limited to one. X, without any add on tools, seems a lot more capable of client/server setups, while under windows you need additional commercial software to do so.
RDP has some nice features -- bandwidth usage is a lot more efficient, while under X even the low bandwidth proxy is not as efficient. And some people find it easier to setup then X.
Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages. For what I use it for, X seems to be more "polished".
Actually, while "Remote Desktop" is what it's called in Windows XP, it really is just a new name for Terminal Services. Terminal Services for Windows 2000 and higher use the RDP protocol, and as long as you have the requisite number of licenses, a Windows 200x server machine running Terminal Services can handle multiple user logins. In fact, I'm posting this now from a Windows 2000 terminal server with four other people logged in. Our other terminal servers average 15-20 people logged in at once, and they're all using either RDP-based thin clients or Remote Desktop Connection.
I do agree, X is more versatile. However, in my experience, RDP is superior as far as network utilization goes. I'd love to see *nix start being able to act as an RDP server, if only to take advantage of some of these thin client systems out there. I realize it's probably a pipe dream, but who knows...
This isn't the first time the Overclocked Remix guys have come together to make a tribute album for a Super Nintendo game. I highly recommend checking out Relics of the Chozo, which is their soundtrack tribute to the game Super Metroid. VERY good stuff, if I do say so myself.
Well, let me give a real-world application that I have used...
At E3 this year, four of us were sharing two rooms, but we were doing all of our work in one room. Three of us had laptops, and we all would be doing work that would have required wireless internet. We knew our room would have internet access via ethernet, so I had brought along a full-size D-Link access point/router so that all three of us could use the internet access via wireless at the same time. Having one of these devices (or preferably an AirPort Express, had they been out at the time) would have saved me some room in my laptop bag.
In the pre- Kindom Come mythos, Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle did have a daughter, Helena Kyle, AKA Huntress.
Just out of curiosity... where did you read this? Last I checked, Kingdom Come was supposed to be what was the current DC continuity but in a possible future, and nowhere in the DC continuity was Huntress ever related by blood to Batman or Catwoman. Her name was Helena Bertinelli, and was the daughter of a big mob family that was wiped out years before. (She was actually a school teacher by day, and a vigilante by night.) I always thought the Birds of Prey TV explanation was just BS they came up with to make it more Batman-related.
...why not disable in-dash DVD players or TV's when the vehicle is in motion? Bored front-seat passengers can console themselves with the thought that the driver is actually looking at the road ahead.
Actually, that's how they are generally installed by default. When I was looking at one (wasn't planning on buying one... was just killing time at the store) a year or so ago, the sales rep told me that by law in Texas (and in many other states too, I believe) they have to be installed in such a way that they'll only operate while the vehicle is in park. However, according to him, a lot of people mod their in-dash players to allow them to run while the vehicle is in motion. According to the article, that's what this assclown did.
From the FAQ on Big Finish's website (the people who make the Doctor Who audio adventures):
12) You're doing a series of linked Dalek plays. Will Davros be there as well?
No, categorically not. Nick Briggs and I are massive Dalek fans and don't ascribe to the lazy notion that Daleks need Davros to do their talking for them. Throughout the Sixties and early Seventies, the Daleks came across as powerful adversaries, adept with cunning, intelligence and power. Once you stick Davros with them, they simply end up as mobile tanks, doing his dirty work. In Genesis of the Daleks, Davros was essential and unequalled. No matter how well Davros was played in the subsequent adventures, the character seemed to us to be superfluous to requirements. We're basing our Daleks on the ruthless conquerors of the Sixties. The Dalek Empire adventures do, we believe, echo those classic serials. We have, of course, done a play featuring Davros but without the Daleks...
It's kind of interesting, IMHO... the hardylaw and "Wacko Attacko" links are brought out often, but it's not often I see anyone bring out Hardy's response to Moore, which is linked to on his original page. He does concede the point concerning the bank scene, but he brings up a list of valid criticisms that Moore didn't accurately answer or ducked entirely.
Like the subject says, I USED to use djbdns for my home DNS server. After a while, when I upgraded the OS on said home DNS server, I got rid of djbdns and moved to BIND. Why, you may ask?
1) I didn't like the fact that I had to use two separate IP addresses for caching and domain hosting. Maybe there was a workaround for it, but at the time I didn't know what it was and it frustrated me to high heaven that I needed two IP addresses on a box that I would have liked to have only used one.
2) The log files didn't print out timestamps in any kind of human-readable format. If I want to see what my system's doing, I don't have time to run the timestamps through some kind of translator.
3) Due to a directory existing where axfrdns didn't expect one in the log directory (and it was a name that it didn't even use), axfrdns did not work at all. I didn't find that out until a power issue brought the DNS server down and the secondary servers didn't have the correct DNS information. Once I removed the directory, axfrdns started working again.
4) Believe it or not, I find BIND zone files to be a bit more readable than tinydns's zone files. It also helps when I'm not forced to name my domain name servers a.something-or-other in the zone file. (Why add a CNAME or A for the one you want to use in the first place?)
5) daemontools.... ugh. Let's not even go there.
Go ahead and mark me as flamebait or what you will. If djbdns works for you, great. But for me, I found djbdns to be much more frustrating than BIND, and since I've migrated over to BIND I haven't had a bit of problem.
There would be less of a problem with a "need" to have hack-cards if DirecTV would only sell the services in the first place. Mainly, network feeds. I'm pretty much barred from getting DirecTV because I want it to have CBS/ABC/NBC/Fox.
Funny, I've had local channels via DirecTV's satellite service for about a year now, and it looks like they have more packages with local broadcasting than without.
The local affiliates have a policy of "we don't grant waivers", and on top of that, they are not full affiliates anyway (pre-empting prime-time network shows willy-nilly and never re-showing them. If DirecTV could find some way around the local broadcasters' censorship and send network content in the satellite signal, that would be a big plus.
Looks like that's more your local affiliates' fault, not DirecTV's. Sorry.
*sigh* One thing that I've noticed in the business world is that more often than not, perception is reality. In other words, how something is perceived is more important than how it actually is. (For example, how many of you have bosses who don't want to use Linux because it's known as the "hacker's OS", and as such see it as being dangerous because it's used by hackers/crackers?)
The reason I bring this up is because this tool, however benevolent the reasons for creating it are, may end up causing more problems than it solves. Apple went to a lot of trouble to create a DRM scheme that was most acceptable to both users and record companies. You know FairPlay-protected AAC files are easily transferred to another media already (burn to CD). I know it. Not much fuss was made about it.
Now we have a tool that gets rid of that intermediate step. Is the end result the same as what we used before? Pretty much. Except now, the RIAA has something to point to and scream, "See those hackers! They'll even break liberal encoding to steal music! This is why we need tougher DRM!" It doesn't matter whether this was REALLY the case... all they have to do is PERCEIVE it as such a threat, and to them, it becomes truth. Granted, this may or may not be the case, but like I said... perception is reality. How many people outside of the tech community are going to get to see this as anything but a piracy tool?
I really hope it doesn't come to this. I really do. Like a lot of people here, I understand this tool was probably created with the best of intentions. Unfortunately, we also need to remember what they say the road to Hell is paved with...
I read that as "9th actor to play the Doctor" , not necessarily the 9th Doctor (aka 8th regeneration), only because, again, the question of the movie-as-canon is still in question, plus it certainly is possible to say the movie was canon, they could pull an actor change at this point without upsetting too much.
I believe the BBC considers the movie canon, as they themselves publish a line of Eighth Doctor books, not to mention had Paul McGann play the Doctor in a new version of Shada. Shada is currently published by Big Finish, who have the license for Doctor Who audio adventures and themselves have a line of Eighth Doctor stories starring McGann. I think it's not like Star Wars or Star Trek where even the sanctioned books and audios are considered canon.
He actually said himself that while he would have accepted the role if it had been offered to him, he would prefer to see someone with more drive and desire to play it, as he had already been there and done that, so to speak. However, he has said that he would love to come back and film the regeneration sequence.
maybe I'm wrong, but I can remember a couple of episodes where SG-1 uses the gates on a moving Ga'uld ship to go from Earth to ship and blow things up. Remember the episode from way back when they gate to an incoming Ga'uld fleet that was going to attack Earth? There were a couple other episodes like that, I think.
That was the one episode I was talking about. There was another time when they used a Stargate to escape an Asgard ship about to be destroyed, but they were gating FROM the ship, not TO it..
You can only have one stargate per coordinate, but it's possible a planet could be large enough to have two (depends on the granularity of the gate address I suppose, which isn't really specified).
Actually, the ruins of the Ancients' lost city is located where Earth's original Stargate was located, in Antarctica. (The one found in Giza was actually Earth's second Stargate.) However, most of the action of Stargate: Atlantis will be taking place in another galaxy, centered around another lost city of the Ancients. (The coordinates of this planet are apparently found in Earth's outpost.)
Actually thinking about it since the gould have stargates on their ships, they're not coordinates... maybe you could program two stargates with different addresses and put them next to each other???
The only time there was a Stargate on a ship that I recall, it was treated as if it was the gate for that planet. (Hence when the ship left that planet, dialing to it no longer worked.) When said ship reached Earth, Daniel Jackson used it as if it was Earth's gate.
According to the producers, Olmos's warning was kinda taken out of context. Apparently he loves the new BSG, but felt that die-hard fans would not appreciate the changes made to the show. The quote printed on the site linked in the parent makes me agree with the producer. (Namely, "The intent and the way we've built the reality is very different from the reality of the original.")
For what it's worth, I've been watching my box set of the original series while stuck on a business trip. I'm hoping the new series will be good, but even if isn't, well... they're different series, and I'll judge them on their own merits, not how they relate to each other.
A few years ago, the mother of a child who was killed by one of his friends sued Midway, saying the friend was inspired by Mortal Kombat. She lost. An article I found about it said...
U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton found that the lawsuit brought by the victim's mother failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Thirteen-year-old Noah Wilson died in November 1997 when his friend, identified in court papers as Yancy S., stabbed him in the chest with a kitchen knife. Noah's mother, Andrea Wilson, sued Midway Games Inc., claiming that Yancy S. was addicted to "Mortal Kombat" video games and that he was so obsessed with the game that he actually believed he was the character "Cyrax." Wilson argued that Yancy S. was mimicking Cyrax's combat moves at the time he stabbed her son.
But Judge Arterton held that the video game is protected by the First Amendment. While Wilson had argued that "Mortal Kombat" differed from books and motion pictures by virtue of its "interactivity," Judge Arterton said the plaintiff failed to offer a persuasive reason for distinguishing the technological advances that led to the game's creation from developments at the turn of the 20th century that ushered in the motion picture.
You can read the entire article here. Part of me is seriously hoping that the defense can use this in the trial, but then IANAL, so I don't know for certain either way.:)

Thirteen-year-old Noah Wilson died in November 1997 when his friend, identified in court papers as Yancy S., stabbed him in the chest with a kitchen knife. Noah's mother, Andrea Wilson, sued Midway Games Inc., claiming that Yancy S. was addicted to "Mortal Kombat" video games and that he was so obsessed with the game that he actually believed he was the character "Cyrax." Wilson argued that Yancy S. was mimicking Cyrax's combat moves at the time he stabbed her son.
But Judge Arterton held that the video game is protected by the First Amendment. While Wilson had argued that "Mortal Kombat" differed from books and motion pictures by virtue of its "interactivity," Judge Arterton said the plaintiff failed to offer a persuasive reason for distinguishing the technological advances that led to the game's creation from developments at the turn of the 20th century that ushered in the motion picture.
You can read the entire article here. Part of me is seriously hoping that the defense can use this in the trial, but then IANAL, so I don't know for certain either way.
