Just to add a few things:
Pablo AND Paloma are spanish names, and incidentally there are two quite famous persons in the Picasso family with that name:-)
Igor is a russian name.
And, by the way, I should say that they are mostly ( or originally) spanish or russian, since you can find them almost everywhere today.
A little seriousness, a little fun...

I understand that it's a tough task to come out with thousands of names, but it should be clear that it's a serious thing, and we can't screw a planet toponomasthic just because we are quite far from it.
A mix of fun and seriousness is due.
At least they shouldn't use names that are just a evident current trend.
You know, this 'return-to-the-store' thingy maybe is already happening, since I recently noticed, in a major music store near me, some PANELS with written 'Mind you that some Copy Protected CDs may not work on your computer' on them. This way, maybe, the shopkeeper feels safe...
You know, time ago I found somewhere a table that let you generate beautiful, yet random and meaningless, sentences. There were columns with a subject, a verb, an object, a mean and a result. You could pick one of each from any row, and get stunning politiquesqe talk. It was hilarious.
Maybe they used the same approach with your question.
It was about time that Intel started worrying about their chips power consumption and heating. By the way, I think this is going to be some 'Much Ado About Nothing' resulting in very little improvement. After all, they are quite good at producing heaters, why start producing coolers?
You are right.
I was referring to the latest version, although earlier versions were 2.x compliant, more than one year earlier.
Nice thing is that you can have a quite good 'standard' browsing experience even these days. Of course, nothing more than plain 4.x, frames and a couple of more things.
Yet, good enough to switch on, execute the program, browse what you need, turn everything off, while WinXP is still completing its bootstrap!:-)
Sorry, but I think you're wrong.
Waaay back before IE 5 (or 4 or 3) there were browsers that didn't crash the whole HTML standard, and gave a quite GREAT navigation experience.
Also, while the Windoze crowd was messing with 'trumpet winsock' stuff, there were other people (like Amiga or Atari users, as example) that could run a HTML3.x compliant browser WITH netscape extensions (frames) from a 720KB floppy without any hassle (I, for one, was a CAB -Atari- user).
Have you ever seen what Word is capable to *invent* to produce a ONE WORD html page?
Add that code cleaness is a must if you want to be portable and time-proof.
I use this program, Papyrus, from rom-logicware http://www.rom-logicware.com/ that has got a quite good HTML export function, and also a quite good M$Word import.
The quality of the import varies depending on the source document (for my kind of stuff it's very good), but the quality of the HTML export is EXCELLENT, tidy-proof.
there is a demoversion that basically has got the only limitation of 1page printed with some letters swapped, but any other function is OK.
Also, its size is extremely small (kinda 2-3 MB)
In the same galaxy, I ran Micro$oft WRITE on my Atari ST, and it was the only program that continuously accessed the disk (a 720KB floppy) writing tons of temporary files, eventually clogging the system.
But it happened at least one generation before yours.
I just noticed that a lot of people just regard as an innocent mistake replacing 'should of' with 'should have' just because they sound almost the same and you get the meaning.
The true point, however, is that the wordsshould' and 'of' put together just don't mean anything!
It is not aboupelling, it is about MEANING of the words, a thing you can call GRAMMAR and SYNTAX.
Another thing is misplacing a letter every now and then, and that is a TYPO (typographic error).
You shouldn't be so indulgent with yourselves!
And, BTW, no, I didn't reread my post:-)
Oh, come on!
I watched some episodes, they were probably OK, but Science Fiction???
How old is he?
I agree that there is some 'scenic need' that prevent TV SF to be like books SF, and I can live with that.
But Trek is unique in its viewpoint, NO other SF depicts the future like Trek does. And I enjoy both Trek and some darker kind of SF, so I'm sure I'm not biased.

One thing is declaring your thoughts on Trek, and you don't need to read articles; BUT if you make statements on -say- saveentreprise campagni, well, you should read about saveenterprise campaign first.

If I submitted a question and after a lot of time read this, well, I'd be quite p'ed off... :-/

It actually is COLUMBA, not COLUMBIA

You mean this link? http://www.milkandcookies.com/links/28888/ It's great entertainment for sure!
I didn't quite understand this passage:
unlike electronic toll passes, these new plates will not be anonymous
wouldn't it be exactly the same thing?

I like spacing by 10, it gives to me that feeling I can insert other lines.
That is, BTW what I ususlly did
well, it is aligned with the policy of the content of the article...

Mo is MEGA-OCTET, the french for MEGABYTE
This isn't a NEW technique: Philips did use it years ago with their DCC digital compact cassettes
