  1. Re:Well, it can be done. But can it be done well? on Can People Really Program 80+ Hours a Week? · · Score: 1

    For me its around 20 hours a week. =)

  2. Re:I will. on George Lucas to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award · · Score: 1

    Don't forget he contributed to the Indiana Jones movies as well. He also invented through his studios some technical achievments for movies. Probably the rationale here.

  4. Re:Yeah on Real Cuts Prices for DRM-Restricted Music · · Score: 2, Informative

    Except their newest linux client took over gnome file associations on my computer. .wav, .MP3, and a lot more all of a sudden had a Real icon.. ugh...

  5. Remake after remake after remake... on SciFi Channel To Air A New Galactica Series · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Stargate SG1: Spinoff of a pretty good movie
    Stargate Atlantis: Spinoff of a spinoff
    BS: Galactica: Remake
    Andromeda (LBX): Bought from syndication
    Scare Tactics: science FICTION channel REALITY series.

    They have a couple other "original" series that I have not seen so I do not feel comfortable talking about. Good for them that there seem to still be a few original shows. See here for their seriously weakened lineup when compared to a few years ago: http://www.scifi.com/onair/shows/

    Apparently original ideas are no longer acceptable on SciFi channel. ;)

    Why else cancel the amazing show that is Farscape? Farscape takes science fiction to a new level, and a lot of people are picking up on it after the huge fan response to the cancellation.

    (Okay actually SciFi didn't "approve" of Farscape because they didn't own it top to bottom. The Farscape game, the little action figures, everything, was under Henson's control. Under the surface the Farscape cancellation is about media consolidation; SciFi Channel doesn't like what they can't own completely.) See this Ted Turner article about this general trend in the industry: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2004/040 7.turner.html

    A lot of people still haven't seen Farscape, so I invite you to watch it Monday through Friday, 9AM-4PM, from Friday, Oct. 1, through Friday, Oct. 15. SciFi channel is airing all 4 seasons so people can catch up.

    I beg of you; spread the word about this amazing show.

    p.s. I do not wish to offend on Stargate fans or Andromeda fans. Im just extremely passionate about Farscape, I hope you will not be turned off by my enthusiasm.

  6. Re:Oh yes, positive feedback warning on eBay Scam Victim Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    Very good advice. Another is to only view feedback from buyers. This way you are seeing what they have sold in the past, and you can view the feedback on those transactions.

  7. Re:Awesome! on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 1

    Thats funny because they have a whole section in their mag just for reviewing games that havent come out yet. The section is called first look, or something like that.

  8. Re:I'll tell you why. on How Many TV Channels Will There Be In The Future? · · Score: 1

    No one watches scifi channel anymore because they stopped producing quality original shows. Cancelling Farscape was just one of many mistakes.

    There were two shows, Lexx, and the Invisible Man, that were a little goofy, but good too. Those are both cancelled now too. Now they have more pseudo-reality shows and more reruns.

    Thank god they get those big name mini-series' twice a year to save their asses (Taken, Battlestar Galactica). (Thats sarcasm)

    Speaking of mini-series', the Farscape mini-series is set to air at the end of this year.. roughly Oct-Nov. I would highly suggest getting the first season on dvd. Those who haven't seen it don't know what you are missing!

  9. Re:holding off on upgrading on Firefox 0.9.1 and Thunderbird 0.7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I think the profile format changed, so you want to run .9 from a fresh profile and then copy over your bookmarks, etc.

    check in ~/.mozilla/firefox now
    they moved it from ~/.firefox/
    also the old ~/.phoenix/ directory is finally dead and can be deleted.

    No, they need to be educated about spyware's harms.

    Many will remain at Sun.. that means some will be leaving Sun. The headline is accurate.
