...you don't even have to be capable of hacking anymore. Act strangely enough and you can subtlely extort your company for continued employment.
What a great idea!
I'd seriously consider using Fedora Core if it wasn't built for i386. Why in the world would I pay for a nice modern processor and not take advantage of it? Otherwise, it's a well-supported distro that looks and works great with some minor tweaking.
This is why I use Gentoo.
Yeah, but what other starship captain could pull off a flawless performance of King Lear.
Jean-Luc Picard is so classy he makes King Louis look like Jim Bob the cable repair guy.
Sadly enough, I've gotten into loud arguments about whether Picard or Kirk was the better captain. It's a symptom of my horrible geekdom.
For those of you wondering, by the way, it's Picard.
We won't see batteries with a 10-year lifespan, certainly, but as much as corporations want to preserve their profits, this technology will become a necessity for the market. Some intrepid company will produce it, and everyone else will scramble to catch up. Call it, oh "Google Effect."

That's OK: the FCC's basically unconstitutional, so if they have so much power, why not let corporations and interests groups have just as much?
Expansive setting, fresh characters, enjoyable protagonist. Much the same reasons I enjoy MacGyver, as well.
Is Al going to start bursting through that holographic door of his?
For 60s B sci-fi, he was probably a god. Nowadays, he's only popular because he's so awful. If it's Shatner, it's automatically funny.
Anyone ever heard Spaced Out? Funnier than Has Been, even.

Poor Scott Bakula. He was so brilliant on Quantum Leap, but Enterprise just sort of floundered in the shadow of its predecessors.
