He's certainly had incredible success with LOST. But I hope LOST doesn't suffer at the expense of creating what could turn out to be a flop of a new Star Trek. I'm a huge LOST fan, and could (no offense) care less about star trek, but I still respect it for what it is to so many people.
So anyway, here's hoping to continued success on both fronts.
"MAAAAAAAAAAT DAAAAMOOOOOOOON!"
Aside from the obvious jokes that can be made of this news and the military applications of a super soldier or sports being taken to a new (and unnecesary level) it's stories like this that give some hope to families like mine that have a loved one diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. My nephew, only 2 years old, has already been diagnosed with this dibilitating disorder. People with MD usually don't live far past their 20s or 30s. So I for one am anxious to see what human testing would yeild and the side effects. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't laugh at some more superficial suggestions for its application....
Yeah, actually I was laughing pretty hard when I saw the score. I assume they give more points the bigger your numbers are. But also, I have my video card overclocked (432 MHz core/367 MHz RAM) and soft modded to an XT. A friend of mine has an awesome gaming comp he just built a few months ago that would spank my system but still scored 4% as well. I built my system back in the summer of 2003, and it was absolute top of the line back then. I wouldn't say there is necesarily a bias, it just cares more about speed and quantity. This just goes to show that we need to leave this kind of benchmarking to the Futuremark guys. Supposedly this benchmark is based on theirs, but I think Microsoft sprinkled in a little to much of their dark magic. All the gaming community can really do is deny this as a reasonable, trustworthy benchmark app.

I submitted the actual Daily Texan article to Digg last week: http://digg.com/technology/ITS_shuts_down_file-sha ring_hub
Ditto, but we wouldn't have digg if Kevin Rose hadn't gotten sick of it either... Plus there's plenty of online revival of the people from TechTV. http://www.revision3.com/ http://digitallifetv.com/blogs/digitallifetv/defau lt.aspx
Down with G4 and its ilk.
