Stargate Atlantis, SG-1 & Sci-Fi Channel Thread
There's not a lot of information about Goners that I recall other than it being a supernatural thriller he was working on. Universal has the option on it and AFAIK has yet to see a draft they liked enough to green-light it (Joss has been - movie wise - in draft hell with this and the now dead attempt to do Wonder Woman). Tim's not had a lot of success with non-Joss shows, it seems, having had several cancelled (Wonder Falls, The Inside, Drive) without filling out their run. I quite liked Wondferfalls. But i like oddball comedy. Did you watch Dead Like Me? I think you'd enjoy it thoroughly if you liked Wonderfalls. They were both (co-)created by Bryan Fuller. I haven't seen Dead Like Me. I tend to rely on friends buying the DVDs.

Animal Rights?
I am, actually. But I see your point.

French mayor bans people from dying
How often do you see a small unimportant town make headlines around the globe? There are so many bad taste comebacks to that. Which we won't make because that would be wrong.

Animal Rights?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7284753.stm This story made me extremely angry. I haven't been to Srinigar, but I've been to several countries where stray dogs roam uncontroled for lack of controls on their populations. The animals are revolting, disease ridden, and suffer from a host of problems, from maggots in their living flesh to missing fur and rabies. They shamble around alternating enacting violence on passers by and collapsing in pain and hunger. Killing such animals can only be a kindness. But here are some dimwitted animal righst groups insisting that a cull is cruel! If anything is cruel it is the avoidance of a cull. Am feel very strongly about this and would like others to join in suporting the cull against the ignorant do-gooders, but mention it here also in case I've got the wrong end of the stick.

I suppose you folks noticed that Skynet is the name of the British military command information system?

As usual we're basically freeloading off you. Aren't I a useful asset, then. Not you personally. Unless in some way you're an astronaut.

As long as I don't get reanimated I'm good.

Movies you have seen lately
Diary of the Dead. 1. After Cloverfield precisely which fething genius thought handheld footage would work? 2. Call me old fashioned. 3. Just call me old fashioned. 4. Also explain what the point is of a film which does absolutely nothing new? 5. Please also explain the purpose of protagonists who are so ball-twistingly annoying you actually want them to die? Why can't we have believable and likeable characters?

Who should I buy from: Cyberpower or Dell?
How about getting a company to build for you? I used Novatech, and it seems more or less acceptable.

many outweighs few?
As I study some linear algebra, I say thanks for this! Hehe. Finally someone gets the lovely joke. EDIT: "grab a large iron skillet" I'm not sure if he's being racist or gluttonous.

a rover with built in laser blaster coming next year
Know you what earth shall lose to-night, what rich uncounted loans, What heavy gold of tales untold you bury with my bones? My loves in deep dim meadows, my ships that rode at ease, Ruffling the purple plumage of strange and secret seas. To see this fair earth as it is to me alone was given, The blow that breaks my brow to-night shall break the dome of heaven. The skies I saw, the trees I saw after no eyes shall see, To-night I die the death of God; the stars shall die with me; One sound shall sunder all the spears and break the trumpet's breath: You never laughed in all your life as I shall laugh in death. - The Last Hero; G.K. Chesterton

A more important angle is that given our unique experience of the Unicverse, when we die the Universe will cease to exist anyway.

There is a (predictably) tedious sci-fi story examining this. But for myself, if the human race survives until the heat death of the Universe then I for one would regard that as a 'good innings'.

Hand tools * power tools
Thanks. I generally try to buy quality. I think in the long run it works out. Plus quality tools inspire quality effort.

Negative. Mine was an office desktop build.
